The best places to see vibrant autumn leaves are in the eastern United States and in southeastern Canada.

You can tell it's the beginning of fall when the leaves begin to change color, the air feels a bit crisper and halloween candy and costumes appear in stores. But when does fall officially kick off?

The 2015, the Autumn Equinox falls on September 23rd.

The Fall Equinox is the first day of fall and signifies the start of shorter days and longer nights in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day, both day and night are equal, with 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark. The balance of light and dark also happens on theSpring Equinox but in the spring, the days (light hours) become longer and the nights (dark hours) become shorter.

Well, here we are at the last 4 months of the year. Autumn, Football, shorter, cooler days and the en-

trance into the 2015 holiday season. I have been diligent in learning and researching new trends and

styles, so I can help you get the top fall/winter styles and colors you desire. I am continually grateful for

your support and generosity. We have lots of information and education to cover in this issue. There

are helpful hints and good tips on how to choose your color for this season. Please read and give me

any feedback you have is appreciated.

Trends come and go, but it looks like gradient hair is here to stay. Over the past few

seasons, we’ve transitioned from foil highlights and solid all-over color to softer and

more natural looking dye jobs. Yet despite the styles’ popularity, we’re still tripping over

the labels. Ombré? Sombré? Balayage? Highlights? What’s the difference? Get familiar

with these low-maintenance styles. No matter what your preference is I can help you

achieve the color and style you want.

Traditional highlights are uniform and

defined. You see a contrasting yet

subtle difference between the natural

color and the highlights usually equal

amounts of highlights to natural color

ratio is seen. This method usually re-

quires a 6-8 week touch up for the

new growth. Traditional highlights can

very from heavy to very few. Price

range is from $35 to $90.

Blonde Balayage

Balayage is a updated technique with thicker ribbons of

blonde through out the hair, leaving more of the natural color

to extend the time between retouch. Depending on the

length and thickness of hair this price range starts at $110

and up

Now we see the trends go-

ing to the Sombre, Bronde

way. This is a more blend-

ed ,subtle version of the

O’mbre. This trend allows

for more time between

touch ups. This is a blend-

ing of brown and blonde or

of dark brown and light

brown any color combina-

tion is acceptable .

The blending of the two colors or “blurring”

the lines gives you a seamless transition

into both colors with out the “root” effect.

Ombre

The demand for dark roots and lighter

ends started a few years back ,Ombré

can feature quite a stark dark-to-light

fade . Usually considered a Specialty

Color Service that requires a consulta-

tion first price from $90 and up

depending on length and color choice.

Sombre or Subtle Ombre is the latest trend in gradient hair color.

Unlike Ombre which really only worked for brunettes in the past ,

somber is a great service for anyone, the gently blended lighter

sections start up a bit higher and the lower lengths have ribbons of

dark color for a more gradual transition. The great thing about

these gradient colors you don’t need to be only specific colors the

technique is great on any color range from the most colorful to the

most subtle of color. This service also falls in to the specialty color service and will re-

quire a consultation prior to service. Price ranges from $110 and up depending on

length and color choice

Tips for wearing curls this fall/ winter season.

IT ALL STARTS WITH YOUR HAIR CUT Thick, blunt ends won’t hold a curl, long layers work best for beach waves. The health of your hair plays an important role, too. In fact, the more damaged and split the ends of your hair are, the harder it will be to curl your hair.

CUT BACK ON THE SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

We all know that unwashed hair holds a style better than freshly washed hair, but did you know that cutting back on the hair conditioner can also help your hair hold a

INVEST IN A GOOD DRY SHAMPOO

On the days when you’re skipping the hair wash, a little dry shampoo will do wonders in adding some volume and getting rid of any excess oil.

PROTECT YOUR LOCKS Before you bust out the curling iron, make sure to apply a heat protector to your hair so you don’t damage it.

CRACK OUT THE BOBBY PINS/CLIPS

If I could only give you ONE piece of advice about how to get your curls to last, it’s this: roll each fresh curl around your finger, fasten it to your head with a bobby pin or a curler clip and then, when all of your hair has been curled and pinned, spray with hair spray, leave for 10 minutes, and re-move the curls one by one. Also start curling at the top of your head this will allow you to clip all the curls out of the way and you wont pull out the curls
