Salon Suites Rental's VS Salon Chair Rental's

Booth Rental Salon Suites are popping up all over
Southern California following the lead of Salon Chair Rentals.

"Booth Salon Suites Rentals vs. Salon Chair Rentals" that is the question? Although Salon Suites offer privacy the  major problem I see with renting a small glass wall enclosed space like the new (salon suites concept) is that it can give some clients a totally Claustrophobic feeling.

 

 

On the other hand Salon Chair Rental's offers the salon client a entertaining atmosphere letting them see what other people are doing with their hair and fashions. And the stylists gets inspiration by seeing what other stylists are doing which is what's totally missing in the Salon Suite environment. Both due give stylists extra income, however Salon Chair Rentals are less costly over-all. And if you have a styling problem the other stylists are their to help you or cover for you when your on vacation.

Its interesting to note that early beauty salons (1900-1960) were design with enclosed booths like the salon suits. In the 1960 the salon booth's were replaced with the open floor concept and offered a entertaining atmosphere. Women enjoy seeing what others are doing and a salon Chair Rentals offer that and more.

 



Star Hairlines are Headlines

 



 



Celebrity hair loss is becoming an increasingly hot topic in the tabloid's. When Sir Elton John had his hairline filled-in the tabloids read; “Tonsorial Wizard Grows Hair on Rock Man”. Elton is perhaps the most famous hair transplant recipients. He underwent a series of replacement procedures after becoming fed-up with years of wearing toupees and wigs.

Hollywood heartthrob Mel Gibson had a decidedly thinning and receding hairline in recent years. Today he is the proud owner of a full head of hair. While Mel has not publicly admitted to having had a hair transplant, he is not the first celebrity to undergo this hush-hush procedure. Kevin Costner known for his movie star good looks has always had a thin head of hair. Not liking the way his thinning crown looked on film and spending thousands of dollars having it “digitally added” in the editing room Kevin is said to have settled for the real deal and had a hair restoration procedure.

 

Jokes about hair loss are as old as dirt, but not as old as rocks. Two comedians, Tom Arnold and Dennis Miller are the first to tell you they’ve had it done and that it was a “hair razing experience”. Both look much younger with thicker hair and lower hairline.

 

Known for their handsome boyish good looks both Mathew McConaughue and Jude Law showed early signs of hair loss. Both have spent thousands of dollars on hair loss treatments to slow the process. Mathew  finally settle for the real deal “a hair replacement procedure” and it looks totally natural even up close.

Hair Restoration is not just reserved for film and television stars. Politicians, fashion designers, musicians even top business executives now recognize the importance of hair to their image. Move Stars John Travolta and John Cleese filled in there fading hairline for a youthful looking hair style and you can also. Recent medical breakthroughs and lower costs has made what was once an expensive procedure affordable for anyone.

 

Having had this procedure myself and can tell you first hand that it was painless and was well worth the expense. Hair restoration is a simple out patent procedure that involves hair follicles being taken from the back and side of the head, where hair is naturally thickest and resistant to loss, and inserted seamlessly into the thinning spots for a totally natural look even up close.  

With today’s modern technology, it's now possible to do something about it male hair loss. Hopefully, this information will help you to make a decision or at least gives you a starting point for your personal search. My procedure was done here in Hollywood by
Dr. Michael Elliott, the world's foremost hair restoration specialist, a true artist. For more information see www.elliotthair.com

 

Hair loss is a state of mind, “if you don’t mind _ it doesn’t matter”.

One star whose hair style has been on the must have list for ever is legendary rock star Mick Jagger. His full tousled hair style and rock star image is irresistible to ladies who are attracted to the wild side and quite the catch for those girls who go for the sensitive creative types.

TO GET THE LOOK: Are you never satisfied with the way your hair looks? If that’s the case, take a styling lesson from Mick Jagger and end your losing streak. Be forewarned, this tousled finger combed style is a "babe magnet". So be prepaid to take names and cell phone number when you show up with Mick's rock star hair style.  To get the look, let’s take it one step at a time; starting with a style cut and shaping.

LET’S SHAPE IT: To get the look, start with a face framing full contoured silhouette with hair stylishly over the collar. A few "love lock" dancing across the forehead puts a receding hair line stylishly under cover. This rock solid style cut looks great from all points of view, holds the shape as it grows and almost styles itself. With a few adjustments (trims) as it grows you can easily find the ideal length and shape for your Jagger style.

LET’S STYLE IT: To style, use a dab of shaping gel or mousse  or nothing at all. Just run either through damp hair and comb in place to dry au natural, or give it a quick blow dryer for a full tousled look. To turn up the sex appeal, when dry, add a dab of hair gel or hair polish through the top for shine and style support and you've got Mick Jagger’s star style.

Let's Add Accessories: What's a rock star hair style with out accessories. To get the total look add low cut slim fit jeans ( black or dark gray) with a contrasting rocker belt paired with a (slim-cut crew neck tee or dress shirt & tie) with colorful blazer... you've got the look. 

NOW, LET’S COLOR IT:  If you’re natural hair color is graying around the edge wash the gray away with a semi permanent light Auburn tint. After, a clear glaze seals-in the color and turns up the shine. To keep this youthful look the new growth is colored with every other style cut. It will take a little extra time and cost a few extra bucks but its a small price to pay for youthful look and all the attention you’ll get.

Wigs / Instant Hair Styles

 

 

Throughout history wigs have played a significant role in fashion. Depending on the era, wigs frequently were worn to demonstrate wealth or were associated with particular professions. Early Egyptian wigs were made with plant fibers, animal hair, or human hair cut from the heads of slaves. The Greeks and Romans also wore wigs for religious purposes, to show nobility and theatrical work. 

 

 

Today wigs are one of Hollywood's must have beauty accessories. Many actresses and celebrities have a wide range of custom shaped and styled wigs as part of their wardrobe; just look at Cher, Dolly Parton, Beyonce’, Lady Gaga and most notably Raquel Welch, the actress best known for her line of trendy high fashion wigs.



 

Unparalleled in comfort and natural appearance, the new Revlon Wig Collection provides a wide selection of styles while maintaining high quality standards. And Revlon's collection of wigs and hairpieces is now better than ever! They’ve improved on and renamed the most popular styles you know and love, plus added new trendy styles in both human and synthetic to round out the line. When considering purchasing a wig for the first time there are four things to consider: Style, Cap Size, Composition and Color. To narrow your search start with the length, texture and hairstyle. You may want to stick with a color or style you're familiar with or try a totally new color and style and have a hair stylist cut and shape it to fit your face shape and features.

 

 

As a Hollywood hair stylist I've always recommended having a custom shaped and styled wig as part of your wardrobe.  It's the best way to instantly change your hair style or hair color for any occasion. If you've always wanted to wear a short trendy hair style but were reluctant to cut your long hair, buying a short style is the perfect option. For others dealing with hair loss due to medical conditions wearing a wig can be a very emotional decision. Regardless of your reasons for investing in a wig making sure you’re wearing it properly can make all the difference. A visit to your hair stylist for a custom shaping and tips for care are well worth the time and investment.
