Burner Hair


As the epic event begins to transform our biggest little city into something that resembles a scene from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome some of our locals love to participate as well.
This is a great time of year to try something completely unexpected and daring. After all everyone will just think you are "one of those people"! In case you don't happen to know what Burning Man is check out my link.
This guest of mine is headed out to the playa with an amazing 10 foot sculpture! This event is  definitely on my bucket list. Maybe next year if I can get a sponsor I will head out with my fun team mates from Schwarzkopf Professional and we can build an sculpture of the blackhead for corporate office! hehe
Today I just wanted to answer a couple of questions I frequently get about these vibrant colors.

  1. Will it show up on dark colored hair? No. In order for color to show up this vibrant you must be working on level 8 or lighter hair (color pictured above is a level 8). If you wish to achieve this vibrancy on darker hair you will have to pre-lighten. 
  2. Will it wash out? Yes. Depending on the harshness of the shampoo you are using it can actually wash out rather quickly. 
  3. What if it doesn't wash out or leaves an undesirable shade, is there a way to get rid of that? Yes. Any salon professional will be able to help you gently remove any residue easily with a mixture called a color wash. 
If you are headed out the Playa this week, Please stop by my blog post from last year that includes all the tips and tricks for keeping your hair from getting trashed this weekend! 
Have a great rest of your week. 
Thanks for stopping by, 
Michon :)

The Future Miss Reno Ink

So I have started this little venture of working with local photographers in the area for hair and makeup shots. I love my client Kourtni. She is one of my bravest little clients haha! And not just with her hair.
She is trying out for Miss Reno Ink. Anyone that can brave tattoos has my respect. I hate needles!!
So we did some special things with her hair extensions for the occasion.

She bought blonde extensions and matched up her hair color and then used an Ombre technique using Pravana Pink, Blue and Purple for the ends.
We already had some pink in her bangs so I weaved a little more pink and some purple into the bangs to refresh for the photo shoot.
Having a professional take shots of your work makes such a huge difference from just my behind the chair shots in the studio with my iPhone.
Diane is such a fun loving energetic lady and a local photographer, owner of Apex Productions.
They specialize in wedding videos but Diane can shoot anything and anybody and make them look great!
Thank you for the help Diane!
Fun Day at the Salon! And the results speak for themselves.



You are Beautiful Kourtni, inside and out girl! (((((hugs)))))
Thanks for looking,
Michon
