Bored With The Bun

Posted on January 31, 2012 | Leave a comment

Thanks to a never-ending network of blogs, hair stylists around the world can be inspired and re-inspired by fellow hair artists with just a touch of a button. One in particular is the blog A Cup Of Jo. Mainly geared towards easy, do-it-yourself wedding hair, we’ve found a style wearable for every day. And since we just can’t let this classic bun go, Joanna Goddard has given us an easy way to transform it.

Breaking down the bun:

1. Make a ponytail, place it however high or low you want it.

2. Split the ponytail just under the elastic, leaving enough slack to pull it through.

3. Tucking upwards, pull the tail through the hole.

4. Fan the tail out enough to cover the elastic and looped part.

5. Tuck the tail under to complete this bun. Hairspray to finish.

So Knotty

Posted on January 13, 2012 | 2 Comments

Have you ever wondered what the easiest style in the world is to do yourself? Now you don’t have to. It’s called knotting, and so easy that it could be done without a mirror.

Thanks to the website Pinterest, we’ve found our favorite versions of this look interpreted. What we love about being knotted most is that these styles could be worn casually on weekdays, or formally for events or weddings. Whether you want your hair up or down, this technique adds an intricate detail to any hair style.

Wedding Hair: Deciding the Salon for the Job

Posted on October 27, 2011 | Leave a comment

Every year millions of weddings take place in America. The typical wedding budget averages about $27,800 (www.TheKnot.com). Within that budget, it’s surprising that the last priority on the list is the wedding hair. Yes, we need to feed our guests, and most of the time we have the budget practically spent on the flowers and location, but are you really getting the most out of your money when it comes to your bridal party’s hair?

Consider your hair the icing on the cake, literally. Without it, the look just isn’t pulled together. When deciding which dress to wear on the big day one of the most important questions is which hairstyle will compliment not only your dress, but your style?

Will your dress be a halter? If so how high or low do you want your up-style? Would you rather wear it down and curled? Do you want your hair to have a romantic air, or do you want it tidy and worry-free? Will you want it out of your face so the photographer can capture priceless moments? This is how you will want your stylist to think and the questions you will want him/her to ask.

 These are all the reasons and more M Salon wants to showcase our work. Our stylists train extensively to achieve all the looks a bride may want for their big day. We will be posting pictures from every shoot we do to excite our future Mrs, and prospective client.

Here are a few pictures from the collection “Runaway Bride”, a photo shoot our stylists Veronica, Chris, Caitlyn, and Emily did this past week on location in the historic Heights.
