The Salon Center Presents The Taming of The ‘Do Hair Show

Every year hairstylists from all over Florida gather together to get some awesome continuing education at “The Taming Of The ‘Do” Hair Show in Orlando, Florida. The Salon Center( a salon product representative company) puts on this show were salons and stylist can attend to help enhance their styling skills by learning all about the latest products, cutting, up-dos, and treatment techniques. As a stylist myself I find it very beneficial and inspiring to attend these shows. It helps me remember why I entered the beauty industry. Even though at the moment I am not in a salon, I just want to keep myself up to date on the latest and greatest.

The beauty industry is an always changing industry. Every single day a stylist walks into a salon there is always something new to learn. Even stylist who have been doing hair for a while are kept up to date on the latest techniques. While there I attended a haircutting class by Framessi which is an Italian company. I also attended an up-do class by White Sands and a product knowledge class by, one of my favorite lines, Neuma (blog about Neuma coming soon)

The greatest thing about these hair shows is not only the education but the people you meet. You just never know who you will bump into. I ran into people I went to beauty school with, people from other countries and new friends. So, next time you enter your salon just think about how knowledgeable your stylist may be. Even if they have not attended this particular show, they probably have attended some form of education before. It’s not an easy industry but if you have a passion for it, it no longer feels like a job its a lifestyle.

Reimagine Beauty Celebrates 25 Years

Reimagine Beauty
CHARITABLE PROGRAM CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF
HELPING WOMEN LOOK, FEEL THEIR BEST
WHEN BATTLING CANCER TREATMENT

If you or someone close to you has been impacted by cancer, you know that the appearance changes women undergo while coping with cancer treatment – like beauty itself – are far more than skin deep. These changes can impact a woman’s self-esteem and sense of self at a time when she needs it the most. Twenty-five years ago, one doctor decided to make a difference. When a patient wouldn’t leave her hospital bed because of her appearance following cancer treatment, he made a phone call to a friend in the beauty industry. Look Good Feel Better was born.
The Look Good Feel Better program offers free workshops that teach beauty techniques to help women cope with the appearance side effects of cancer treatment; thereby giving them self-confidence and helping them regain some normalcy in a life that is by no means normal.

Author Geralyn Lucas

Author Geralyn Lucas


Look Good Feel Better has helped nearly 900,000 people with cancer the U.S. and nearly 1,500,000 people around the world.

In the United States alone, the program now offers 15,800 group workshops nationwide in 2,400 locations.

It is supported by 262 companies, most of whom are affiliated with the cosmetics industry, who provide financial, product and in-kind donations.

In this video Geralyn Lucas, Award-Winning Television Producer, Author, Women’s Health Advocate and author of Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy and Linda Whitehurst, a 25-Year Look Good Feel Better Volunteer talk about this amazing program.

Sleep Your Way To Beautiful Skin

After a long busy day we all seem to find it hard to relax. At least I know I do and in the end our skin can show signs of stress, fatigue and dullness. Our face is the indicator of how we take care of ourselves and while we sleep our cells do a complete turnover giving us fresh rejuvinated skin in the morning. Only thing is as we get older, our cells need a little help. When I was 18 I started using a nighlty moisturizer and have done so religiously every night. Here I am 23 years old and for the first time I have not used my moisturizer BUT I have used another nightly procedure.

Renew You Mask

Renew You Mask

The Renew You Sleep Spa mask is the greatest invention to ever cross the skin care market. For just 10 minutes at night you can have an even brighter morning. With two masks to choose from (Fruit Enzymes and Pure Oils) all skin types can feel replenished. I personally like the Fruit Enzyme Sleep Spa Mask. It contains papaya, pineapple and bamboo to help eliminate dead skin cells from the day. After cleansing your face, place the mask on the contours of your face and let the mask do the rest (you will look funny for a little while). The beauty of this is you don not wash it off. After removing the mask rub excess product in your skin and then go to sleep. In the morning you will feel like a new person.

For more info on the masks visit www.myrenewyou.com

Get the Look: Christina Hendricks at the 2014 Emmy Awards

See how you can get the hairstyle that celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell created for Christina Hendricks at the 2014 Emmy Awards.

THE LOOK Modern, luxurious waves

THE BREAKDOWN Here is how Celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell gave nominee Christina Hendricks textured waves inspired by her red Marchesa Gown for tonight’s red carpet:

· To begin, Russell applied John Frieda Luxurious Volume Building Mousse to Christina’s roots when her hair was damp

· He then sprayed the John Frieda Luxurious Volume Fine to Full Blow-Out Spray to her ends and rough dried/scrunched her hair until it was 95% dry

· Next, Russell created a center part and used a multi bristle flat brush to smooth the hair, without stretching it, so that it had a lot of body.

· To create the waves, he used a 1-inch flat iron in sections to create texture and body. With a 1.25-inch curling iron, Russell then took small pieces at random and curled away from the face to add both rotation and dimension. For desired volume and shape, he brushed through the lengths of her hair with a wide toothed comb and back combed the underneath.

· To finish, Russell sprayed John Frieda Luxurious Volume All Day Hold Hairspray for hold and long lasting shine.
