Freshening Up Your Hairstyle For Fall!

Fall is just around the corner. Have you given any thought as to how you are going to bring your hairstyle into Fall?  Chances are you are still recovering from sending your kids back to school or even dealing with juggling your own class schedule.



Here are a few tips for freshening up your look for the Fall season:


1. Take stock of your appearance
Do you need to retouch your highlights? Are your split ends taking over? Are your eyebrows looking woolly?

2. Schedule a consultation with your hairstylist
Are you thinking about your mousy brown hair jet black? Do you want to buzz your shoulder length hair into a crew cut? Before taking any action, discuss it with your hairstylist.

3. Maintain your appearance on a regular basis
During these tough economic times, our grooming expenses are the first to be slashed out of the budget. However, you can maintain your look for very little money. Beauty schools offer low cost mani/pedis and eyebrow waxes. Also, make sure to communicate to your hairstylist that you are seeking a stylish simple haircut that will not require frequent maintenance.

Blogging Is An Adventure!

I consider blogging to be an adventure of sorts. It's not as big of an adventure as parenthood has turned out to be...but, it is definitely unchartered territory for someone like me. First and foremost, my background is in Cosmetology with and an emphasis on being a hairstylist.

Yet, I would be naive to assume that the Internet has not revolutionized how the salon industry is being run. A majority of us hairstylists operate our respective businesses from laptops, tablets, or even our phones.

As a hairstylist, I come across people from all walks of life. But, the ones whom I relate to the most are the busy Moms whom park themselves in my stylist's chair for a bit of relaxation and pampering.
Of course, sometimes the Mom's relaxation is short-lived because they are being bombarded by calls and texts from their children, spouses, bosses, and others whom require immediate attention.

As a working mom of an active toddler, I can totally relate to being plugged in and barely having enough time for myself. This blog will contain hairstyling and beauty tips. I also plan on interviewing Moms from various backgrounds on their secrets for maintaining their particular brand of glamour.

Sometimes, my blog will consist of  nature photos which I have snapped with my cell phone camera.

Blogging offers so many different opportunities to express myself. I am definitely ready for this new adventure.
