Living at the shore there are essentials for every beach bag.  Here are just a few of my favorites.

Firstly, a great deep cleansing shampoo is really important.  I personally like Ouidad Water Works Clarifying Shampoo. It's gentle yet perfect for deep cleansing.  The fruit acids remove salt water residue, chlorine and minerals from hard water that can make your hair coarse, dry and unmanageable.  Water Work's even helps maintain color, manageability and shine.





 Salon Treatment $50.00

Secondly, a great moisturizing mask to nourish.  Depending on your type of hair, there a many choices that your colorist or stylist can recommend.  I prefer the salon treatment Global Keratin Deep Conditioner.  This in-salon professional treatment delivers moisture and nourishes hair for a smooth and sleek deep treatment.  Strengthens hair weakened by chemical services, heat styling and environmental effect.  Repairs damage with natural plant extract and oils.





Thirdly would be a leave in conditioner.  Uniq One is a good choice because it provides 10 real benefits that will enhance sublime, stunning, healthy and protected hair. Trying is believing....

Lash and Brow Tinting with Kristen

-

Tired of the winter blues?  The season we've all been waiting for is finally here, SUMMER!  It's time to break out some beauty tips to help you achieve a carefree, fresh new summer look that will cut down the time on your morning routine and leave you ready to go.

Ok Ladies, what if I told you that you can achieve the look of longer, darker, thicker lashes without even wearing mascara?  It's true, lash tinting has been around for quite a while but surprisingly most people don't even know it exists.  We use a vegetable based dye, so it's not harmful to the eye or skin around it.  We protect the skin with a barrier and apply the tint to your lashes.  The dye only colors the existing hairs.  The dye processes for 10 minutes and after we rinse it off, your lashes look as though you've just applied mascara.  There are different shades available, however the most popular is deep black. 

Now onto the brows.  Eyebrows are the key to shaping your face.  A well shaped brow can define your whole face, as well as give you a more youthful appearance.  A brow tint can work for everyone.  It is especially good for the mature woman who is starting to lose her eyebrows.  The same vegetable based dye is matched to your hair color and applied to your brows and allowed to process.  The dye picks up on the soft hairs to create the illusion of the thicker brow.  When taken off it gives you an eye opening result that looks like you just had a mini face lift!  For all you light haired ladies, the results are even more dramatic as it makes a huge difference if your hair is naturally light.  Both the eyebrow and eyelash tinting will last 4 to 6 weeks. However, the more frequent you do it the more it will build layers over time and last longer.  Avoiding oil based cleansers and moisturizers will also make your results last longer.  Now it's time to put on your SPF and hit the beach with your maintenance free brow and lashes and enjoy the summertime!

Spring Forward with Colorist Dina Rae

As spring time approaches, we often think of renewal and change.  While the winter months had us in a bit of the blues, I must say, I am looking forward to the spring and summer months ahead. 

I am absolutely invigorated by the vivid colors of spring and summer.  From the bright colors of yellow and orange flowers to the soft plush palette of pink peonies and cherry blossom trees... and let's not forget about the simplicity of a beautiful white tulip.  All in the forefront of a light blue-gray horizon and a layer of greenery.  Which brings me to the thought of hair color. 

Like nature, there are so many vivid and soft plush colors to choose from and so many directions to go in...it is no wonder one may get confused when choosing the perfect hair color.  Not to mention, that for most of us, time is a luxury.

So to make it simple, we chose a few of our favorite online looks that inspired us from our favorite online collections. 

Choose from one of our specific categories to either change or enhance your new spring look. 

 ...If you relate to Cool Sophistication

 

...If you relate to Trends

...If you relate to Avant-Garde

How to Make the Most of Your Hair Appointment by Dyan

With everyone’s busy schedule and lives, it is still important to take a little time for ourselves. Everyone’s time is valuable so you need to make the most of it.

Even before you call for your appointment there are some things to consider so that you can maximize your time with your stylist.  Most importantly, you need to have a clear idea of what you want out of your service and when you are available to schedule the appointment.  It's best to have a few days and times that work for you. This helps our receptionists narrow down an appointment that work will work with your stylist. Especially when making multiple appointments, it is important to know what services you would like done.  A typical haircut is booked for a half hour.  If you are changing your look or have long hair you’ll need more time.  If you need a special blowout that requires pinning or iron work, extra time is needed. Having a clear picture of what you want will avoid having your stylist rush and all of your needs and expectations will be met.

Change is good and this time of year we see a lot of our clients are open to a new look. With that being said, here are a few questions you should ask yourself:

How much time am I willing to spend on my hair?

Do I want to lose length?

Do I want a bang or more layers?

It’s good to know your limitation also.  Your stylist will help you to work with you new look.  A big mistake people make is trying to style their hair the “old way” with a “new cut”.  Ask questions on how to recreate your new look at home.  It may require purchasing new products or brushes but it will make your life easier on a daily basis. 

When discussing your new look, bring in pictures.  Be mindful of your hair color and texture when doing this.  Blondes- Look at blondes, brunettes at brunettes.  This is because blonde hair tends to show the layers and cut a lot more than darker hair.  Of course your stylist will help you in choosing a length and style that best suits you.

Know what you don’t want.  It’s ok to be clear about what you don’t like but also keep an open mind.  After all a change is what you are looking for.  Trust your stylist and give some creative freedoms.  Don’t style the creativity by putting too many limitations. 

Special Occasion Hair

It is the season of proms, dances and weddings!  A very fun and exciting time.  Make your appointments in advance to ensure your specific time and stylist.  If you are unsure of a hairstyle or stuck between a few, book a trial.  It takes all the guess work out of the important day. 

Pictures are so important for an updo and special occasion hair.  It helps the stylist to see what you are envisioning even if you don’t know the lingo.  Pictures of your dress are also helpful to help the stylist to get a feel for you overall look. 

If your hair requires clip in extensions, tell the receptionist at the time of booking so extra time can be working into your appointment.  When the day has come for your appointments,  it is recommended to check in fifteen minutes ahead of your schedule time. It allows you to grab a bit to eat, get a drink and your stylist has time to get your hair shampooed or prepped so you are in their chair at your schedule time. 

This is your appointment, your time so make the most of it.  Whether you are coming in for color, or cut, your time is valuable and these helpful tips will ensure you have a great visit at Suede Salon Spa and Body.  Call today to book your appointment 856-985-0700 and take advantage of our Blow Dry Special: 5 Blow Dry and Finishes for $150.

Simple Ways to Spice Up Your Fall Haircolor with Heather Nieves and Mara Solano

For many of us, coloring our hair is a monthly necessity, but have you ever considered it an accessory?  Just like we add earrings or a necklace to add sparkle to our look, hair color can be used in the same way.  There are several ways this can be accomplished, and these are some of the more common ways;

1. Accent pieces- these are strategically placed foils that can allow the chosen color to “pop” from the rest of the hair. These are great for anyone who is color shy, or on the more conservative side.  Hair dipping-this technique focuses the color from the middle of the hair shaft to the bottom.  This can be done on random strands for a more natural effect or all the strands for a more dramatic effect that would mimic your ends being “dipped” in color.  Ombre-similar to hair dipping, this technique creates a more natural, sunkissed finish where the color gradually becomes lighter or more vibrant towards the ends. 

Pairing these techniques with a fun color is the ultimate hair accessory for the holidays!  Brunettes may consider adding an accent piece in a deep violet, crimson red, or jade green.  Blondes may consider pastel tones of pink or lavender, For those who aren’t as daring, imagine your copper hair with a beautiful piece of strawberry peeking out, or a chocolate brown flowing into rich amber ends.  There is an option for everyone. Color is meant to be fun & expressive!

Properly maintaining your new color is imperative to making the results last.  Highlights may require a glaze in between touch-up services. This helps to keep the vibrancy and shine of your new color. In addition, home care is just as important.  We offer several products to address all hair types. Some of our most recommended are L’Oreal Professional Vitamino Color Shampoo and Conditioner or Lumino Contrast Shampoo and Treatment. From our Label M Line, we like the Color Stay Shampoo and Conditioner.  Remember that heat styling can cause color fading! For this, we recommend always treating your hair with a heat protectant before blowdrying. For this, we love Label M’s Heat Protecting Spray or Black Miracle Treatment.

The holidays are fast approaching. When will you choose to accessorize your hair? Book an appointment with one of our talented colorists today. Let the festivities begin!

Senior Colorist Jackie Manzo: Fall Trends for Hair Color

The Summer Season is coming to an end and it’s time to regroup and gear up for the Fall-Winter Seasons.  What does this mean for our hair care?  In the beginning of the Spring-Summer Season, we tend to gravitate towards lighter and more “beachy” colors.  During the season our hair is than exposed to sun, salt water, chlorine and many other environmental elements.  In order to move forward into Fall-Winter Shades, we first have to address the issues at hand.  Talk to your hair care professional about treatments such as a Conditioning or Protein Treatment ($25.+) which will re-moisturize and add much needed strength back to the hair.  Depending on your individual needs, these treatments will prep the hair for the seasonal color change.  Even a good hair cut maybe just what the doctor ordered to refresh your hair.

Some suggestions might be to deepen or richen the color.  As tans are fading, we need a little more color around our faces.  Another suggestions maybe to soften the hair to a more natural look or maybe a beautiful fall red.   You may want a beautiful chocolate brown or for the more adventurous at heart, some pastel colored pieces or a high fashion red could be just the ticket.  It is a great time to schedule a consultation with your hair care professional about possibilities and how to best prep the hair for the coming season.  When dealing with the abuse from sun, fun, heat and environmental damage it is important to communicate with your colorists or stylist so that they can book your appointment accordingly so that they have time to address your specific needs.  At Suede Salon Spa and Body Complimentary Color Consultations are always available. Call 856-985-0700 to learn about what's best for you. 


Happy Coloring, see you soon,
