ALL THE COLORS OF THE Rainbow!

Fun & FUNKY!

I’m always happy to create fun looks with edgy cuts and funky colors.  Annie Bacon’s hairstyle is a recent favorite.  She is one of those clients that can’t be given straight-forward hair.  When I saw her recently for a color refresh, she said, “I have concluded that the mullet is simply the best haircut for me at this time in my life.” 

The cut is inspired by the South African band Die Antwoord lead singer/rapper Yolandi Visser.  The color was inspired by a recent Glamour spread about rainbow colored hair.

HAIR MOVIE NIGHT: Barbarella!

ARE YOU READY FOR BARBARELLA?

The 60's were a very special time for hair.  We keep returning to it in our Hair Movie Night series because there is an infinite supply of inspiration to draw from. And what hairdresser can deny their love for the big, glamorous, foxy hair in Barbarella? 

I love this film because it's so outrageous and provocative, without being overly sexual. Barbarella might be a temptress, but she also maintains her doe-eyed innocence!

For this shoot, we used our brand new Halo Couture pieces to give our model's hair that Victoria Secret effect.  I originally set her hair in hot rollers, but went back over it with a curling iron to spruce up the waves a bit more. 

A while back, my wig friend Roselie showed me how to backcomb a curl in the crown, then roll, and bobby pin it to the scalp.  This technique is what helps keep that bouffant voluminous! (Though the San Francisco wind immediately started to deconstruct my teasing effort!)

For color, I applied a gold and chestnut balayage highlight six weeks before the shoot. The day of the photo shoot, we gave her a fresh trim and did a L’Oreal Dia Light 9.03 toner to revive the shine and sparkle.  

Festival Season Hair Guide

Coachella kicked off the summer festival season last month, and our girl on the scene, Maple, brought back the low down on all the hair trends and some great tips for hair care on your festival adventures. Whether you're more down with indie rock shows, reggae fests or hip-hop showcases, we've got you covered!

SUMMER FESTIVAL Trends:

1. BRAIDS

Braids were everywhere at Coachella. Fishtails, dutch girl crowns and funky french braids. For your summer festy, start off simple. Messy braids are super on trend. Get braided by Mishi before you go. No muss no fuss, you can spend your time listening to the music,not worrying about your hair. Pull it out for day two or three and have beautiful tousled waves.

2. COLOR

Bright wonderful fun colors are definitely an exciting summer statement. Teal was a showstopper at Coachella and definitely a Morphic favorite. Maple also saw purple and the classic flamingo pink.

3. OMBRE

Ombre is a sure win for summer hair, and we had many coming in for this treatment before their Coachella trip!  Ombre gives hair that "been in the sun" look. For a natural, bohemian feel that seems effortless, this is the way to go!

Are you heading to some summer festivals this year? How will you show off your festival-perfect hair?
