So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Art Of Hairstyling For Professional Hairdressers

By Toni Moretti

Even though everyone has their very own unique hair, many people can wear the same hairstyle quite attractively. The style is dependant on other factors such as face shape, and length or curly or straight. The Professional hairdresser has to be aware of many factors when it comes to styling. Many clients will leave their hairstyle up to the discretion of the stylist. One of the important aspects of picking a good style for a client is not only to be able to determine the shape of her face but also know which style will complement that shape and whether the style will demand a certain cut.

A stylist not only has to be aware of one particular style for a specific shaped face she or he must be knowledgeable in numerous styles for that face shape. Otherwise, every client with a round face for example would be walking out of that salon with the exact same hair do.

Not only the face shape has to be considered so does the texture and volume of the hair. The cut is critical to the particular hairstyle and must be able to take into the account the amount of wave if any in the natural hair. Much can be done with the cut to add volume to hair that is normally flat and straight. The cut can emphasis the natural curls in hair or it can minimize them. Whatever the requirement is the cut can accommodate provided the stylist knows her techniques.

With today?s hair, technology general hair care products have become more adept at assisting in the styling of the hair. The products are able to hold the more funky styles stiff in any shape the client wants. Foam products such as mousse in small amount can add fullness to the hair and in the larger amounts acts as a stiffener as well. Gel is a great product for relaxing curls and making them more manageable. Again though this products are only as good as the professional applying them. If an incorrect cut has taken place even this products cannot create the appearance of the error.

It is very important that the stylist work with the client. Often a client will ask for the impossible. Meaning they will see a beautiful short hairstyle full of curls with a particular length and cut. Their hair maybe very straight and much shorter than in the picture but they don?t understand why they cannot have that identical look. As the stylist, you must patiently explain to the client what the limitations of that style are. Try to find a few alternatives along the same line as what the client wanted. Most often, the client will go with your recommendations.

If you have the easy client that just leaves the style up to you that makes life easier in some senses. It would be wise to get a general idea of what the client likes and dislikes or else after completion, the client may be very unhappy. When your client is leaving your salon you want to be sure, she is pleased and going to speak highly of your services.
