New Juvexin Keratin Treatment by Global Keratin/GK Hair

Shawn — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:11:46 +0000

I recently performed the awesome Juvexin Keratin service, on Kimberli, to defrizz the hair for 5 months . She loved it! Every person I have performed it on so far has said, “This is the hair I’ve always wanted.” The great thing is that if someone wants to keep their curl, Juvexin comes in 3 formulas, 1 to keep the curl, 1 to loosen the curl mildly, and 1 to straighten the hair.

The service starts at $300 and takes approximately 3 hours. Call me at 404-558-3739 to for an appointment to get rid of your frizz for at least 5 months.

Other testimonials from the service are that it decreases your styling time 40-60% and that even on misty days the hair stays as frizz free when you get home in the evening as it was when you left the house in the morning. Amazing!!

Angela’s Makeover

Judi — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:09:24 +0000

Well today was an exciting day!.. for myself and a friend and new client of one of my regulars, Angela.

Angela brought her friend Emma with her for her first time today. Little did Angela know that Emma and I would be in agreement on giving her an awesome new look. I do have to add, that Angela said those magic words every stylist love to hear, “Do what ever you wanna create.”

It was exciting, if a little dramatic for Angela, but with a little adjustment of her makeup, some knee high boots and skinny jeans, I think she will be getting some great responses from people who see her! Who’s not going to notice her bright eyes, and her beautiful slender neck, now?

We started with her mostly virgin natural light brown hair. I applied her base color and highlights and lowlights all at the same time, with an aveda color and foil application method. Her base color was a deep vibrant mahogany red brown, her lowlights were a very deep dark brown, with some light golden blonde highlights, piggybacked onto every other woven strand of the lowlight. This allows more variation in color to be applied closer together.

Model Saturday

Judi — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:34:05 +0000

This is Lorikay, an awesome photographer at Studioplex(although, she taught me how to take the shots of her in her studio on Saturday…Fun!!)

She was my model last Saturday. We used Joico Kpak Age Defy color on her roots, 6ng+ and 20 vol, and put a streak in front, toned with 1/2 8g + 1/2 9g +10 vol, to go with the hilites we have done previously

A classic Vidal Sasoon, seriously graduated in the front and layered throughout, then texturized to even out consistency of her thickness, for manageable styling.

Doesn’t she look awesome!

Just a reminder, I will be working the Monday thru Wednesday before Thanksgiving, to get everyone in before the Holiday. Then off to Dothan, Alabama, to be with the family for the holiday weekend.

Thanks for all your support everyone!

Shawn’s Most Recent Hair Model

Judi — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:52:48 +0000

Check Lorikay out. She is a photographer and friend of mine located here at Studioplex. She does great photo work as well!

She has a black and white portrait of a pair of hands holding a beautiful newborn that is one of my favorites. http://www.lorikayphotography.com/

On Lorikay I decided to spice up her look with a little touch of red in her highlights.

I did a partial foil using lifting powder, while at the same time using a level 5 1/2 natural gold on her regrowth to cover her unpigmented hair and lighten her base a little from the previous base color she has used. After processing for 20-30 minutes I dried her hair and toned her highlights alternating colors of a level 9 gold and a level 7 copper gold.

BEFORE AFTER

The cut was a long layered haircut with plenty of slide cutting and texturizing action for plenty of movement. Then off she went to Paris and for a cool trip.

Can’t wait to hear all about that!

Thanks to all of you for a wonderful summer of taking care of you, and I look forward to the next time I see you!

Mike The Color Model

Judi — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 15:57:10 +0000

Wanted to share pics of the most recent color model.

Mike was fun to work with. He is a bartender at Serpas(great food-I just ate there Saturday night and had the biggest T-bone ever in Atlanta), also located in Studioplex and volunteered to make a dramatic change in the color.

I used Joico Verolift Lightening Powder to lift the previous brown and reds out of his hair. There were some fun coppery pieces still left in the hair, so after toning with a 9 ash, it all worked together for a cool look!

I will give a heads up when I’m able to do the next model and see if you or your friends would like to submit a pic and see about participating(most likely the weekend after the Labor Day Holiday).

Saturday Makeover 8/08/09

BEFORE AFTER

Well, I had a lot of fun with my beautiful Model Naveen this last Saturday. I do her and alot of her family and friends hair and enjoy it alot. They all have lots of thick dark long hair to work with.

I performed a classic Vidal Sassoon cut on Naveen. I use a dark brown for her base color using Joico’s Verocolor System(Vero means ‘true’ in Italian, ergo True color). I highlighted her using Veroultra oneprocess ultra lifting powders in bright red and butterscotch. I prelightened and toned her nape a light blonde for an extra edge to the look.

As you can see from the images it was an awesome look when we were done.

Remember if you or a friend would like to get on my list to be a makeover model, simply email me a pic at shawn@mirarsalon.com and I will hopefully get to have fun with your hair too! My next model is tentatively scheduled for Aug.22.

Thank you for your support!!!
