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).

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!!!

I would like to request your help.  Would any of you be willing to make a dramatic change to your hair?  Do you have any friends, such as students or people in non-corporate jobs who are able to be a little more edgy with their cuts and colors?  I need people with a good amount of hair to work with.

I need a volunteer for Sat. Aug. 8th.  At 3:00 I start my “Model Mayhem Makeover”, on an adventurous person, maybe it will be you!  Please, you or your friends reply to this message, to take a chance to be selected as a model.  If possible please attach a pic of your current hairstyle.  The cut and color will be no cost and we will be taking before and after photos for my portfolio.

These are before and after pics of my website cover model.  I used Joico color on her color and highlights and SO. CAP. USA Extensions on her length and volume.  SO. CAP. USA Fusion Extensions are the best hair and bonds in the business.  They come in 81 colors and 3 textures, (curly, wavy, and straight). Real European Hair. So Cap Hair extensions are 100% Human Hair.

There are many different types of human hair on the market today. Some companies use harsh processes that strip the cuticle layer off the hair leaving them dry, rough and dull. Then, silicone is applied to give the hair a good appearance  that is often short lived.

Recently, I decided it was time to update the Mirar Salon website. We are really proud of our studio and I wanted to have a site that had the same degree of excellence . Today, Judi Knight of New Tricks is training me to take over the reins of my new WordPress based Mirar Salon website. I decided to go with WordPress which most people think of as a blogging software for several reasons:

1. It is very Search Engine Friendly. Every time I write and tag a post or link to another site or add content to the site it creates links and a lot of search engine love.
2. I can have an integrated blog page and in fact each of our stylists can have a page of their own with a separate blog page of their own. Could another platform have done this, yes but not with the ease of WordPress.
3. The major reason that I chose to use WordPress for the new site is that I will be able to maintain it myself and all of our stylists can go in and post to the site as well.

Check it out.

Whether you wish to add length, an accent of color, texture or even fullness to thinning short or long hair, it can be done with natural-looking results!
100% human hair of the highest grade. Pre-bonded natural Keratin tips allow the extensions to last an average of 4 months with minimal maintenance. They are virtually undetectable by sight and to the touch. These particular extensions allow for one to flat-iron, curl, color and/or perm the hair. They are also chlorine safe.

SO.CAP.USA‘s hair retains its cuticle layers through gentle processes that leave the hair healthy, natural and believable through 3 to 6 months of wear. Because SO.CAP.USA hair is remy hair, meaning all the cuticles run in the same direction, it blends beautifully With your own natural hair with no tangles.
