Pastels Summer 2014

Here's a post for the Barbie Blondes out there, and the Brunettes alike looking for a complete change for this Summer 2014.

One of the Hottest Trends off the Catwalk this Summer is the Pastel Blonde look, which has taken the fashion world by storm many a time.  In Spring/Summer 2013 it was a massive hit with celebrities such as Kelly Osbourne who went for the all over Purple hue pastel tone just like CHANEL showcased in their Mary Antoinette themed show, or Lauren Conrad who took inspiration from OSCAR DE LA RENTA's show which incorporated colourful Pastel (clip in) streaks.

This Summer why not go for the plunge and ask your Stylist for a Pastel Toner to completely change your look !

Or why not take inspiration from 2012's trend of Hair Chalk and play around with your Bleach Blonde or darker Brunette locks for a Soft yet Edgy look !

                 

Hair Chalk is versatile, easy to apply and remove and non-permanent.  It looks great on lighter locks, yet can also add a dash of mystery in a darker style.  Apply Hair Chalk on dry hair for best results.

Go Get Creative !

Ombre Hair Trends

  

The Ombre Hair Colour Trend started hitting the magazines back in late 2012 with stars like Jessica Biel and Rachel Bilson hit the streets with luscious lightened ends.  It really started catching on with the trend-setters around the beginning/Spring 2013, and many of us have caught the bug !
 
I'm a big fan of the Ombre look, and happy to report that this trend has not only been rolling over to early 2014, but will stay a mayor hit this Summer ! 
 
 



 
 

 

But the real fun has only just begun... this Summer experiment with Pastel Tones or Crazy Vibrants to really turn up the heat in Summer 2014.  Not as much of a Dare-Devil ?  Fear not, why not ask your Stylist for some Ombre-like highlights a-la SJP (see pic below) throughout the ends of your style to incorporate some Sass into your beach waves !

 

The Bob is Back ! Summer 2013

This Summer 2013 Many Celebrities are going for the 'Oh so Versatile Bob'. 

One of my favourite styles to cut, and very flattering when softened in the right places. 

Feminine and Flirty or Structured and Sophisticated, the bob is Timeless !
