If you have a special occasion coming up there’s nothing quite like getting your hair done up to make you feel a million dollars.

I have a few tips to get you thinking…

Stay Comfortable

You don’t want to go too far out of your comfort zone.  If you never wear your hair up or wear feminine styles it is going to feel pretty weird.  To get used to this new style it is a good idea to get in practice runs.  Get your hair done up and wear it to a party or night out.  You’ll know then whether the style will work for you.

Consider Your Outfit

Collars, straps, halter necks, bare skin, jewellery all create a certain look.  Your hair style needs to complement rather than compete with the rest of your outfit.

Keep It Elegant and Simple

Don’t wear the Opera House on your head.  Just because a hair style is possible doesn’t mean you should go with it. Remember you want your hairstyle to complete your look, not overpower it.

Healthy Hair Looks Great

If your hair is in good condition and healthy then it is going to look good with even the most simple style.

Plan Ahead

Regular trims and treatments in the lead up to your special event will make a huge difference on many levels.  You will have your hair in great condition and the ideal length for the style you are after.  Planning will also give you time to consult and practice the perfect hair do with your stylist.

Enjoy

A special event is about having fun. You shouldn’t have to worry about your outfit or your hair. A little bit of planning will give you a lot more confidence and ensure that you feel and look great.

So if you have something special coming up and you would like a special “hair up do” why not come in and talk to us – we’d love to plan it with you.

It is so much fun exchanging ideas and sometimes clients email me photos when they come across a look they love.

I then do a trial run with the bride to make sure the chosen style is suitable. Most brides try and organise it for the same day as their makeup trial, or for one of their dress fittings, to help them get the overall look.

The secret of planning hair for a group is to not be too crazy about the hair having to be identical.  Some styles don’t work well with different hair types or on different faces.

You really want your bridesmaids to feel comfortable and look fabulous. This is far more important than being exactly the same. Generally there is no need for everyone in the bridal party to have a hair trial, however we can accomodate if need be.

Happy girls create a lovely wedding vibe and look good in photos.

So what I do is talk with the bride first to identify her preferred theme.  I could be loose and curls, hair in buns or a retro look.

Once you have a broad theme you can then work with each girl to create something which she loves, flatters her and keeps to the theme.

Using a strategy like this you are able to get everyone in the bridal group looking their very best.  People know when they look fabulous.  They are relaxed and happy and this really can add to the atmosphere of the whole event.

So if you are starting to plan your wedding please get in touch.  We would love to help you plan the look for your special celebration.

The Cision Hair Educational Soiree was a tantalizing event of colour, glamour and tutelage.  Cision released their autumn/winter colour palette showcasing the favourite trends for the season and performed their talents for a loving crowd of those in the industry.

Hair is predominately made up of a protein call keratin, it is literally the building block from which your hair and skin is made. Keratin needs vitamins and minerals in order for it to be metabolized effectively within the body. The better balanced your diet with these nutrients the more naturally gorgeous you’ll be.

If you are planning a big night out with friends I’d like to suggest a fun and safe way to get about.

Bustamove Party Bus is just the thing for school balls, hens nights or any big bash really.

I know the guys at Bustamove and I can recommend them to help make your next big night a heap of fun.

Check them out at their website at Bustamove Party Bus.

My favourite is Fitzgeralds Seafood Restaurant in North Perth. I particularly recommend their Washabi Sweet Prawns and Chilli Chicken in Vinegar.

We just keep going back with friends because the food is awesome and the prices are pretty cool too.

Amelia is into a tapas and wine bar called Clarences in 566 Beaufort Street Mount Lawley. I wonder what you guys eating this winter?

Kate, from the Sheer team and Sana boutique in St Quentin’s Ave, Claremont says

“With long, flowing neutral tones and liquid layers of silk this season definitely has the relaxed attitude of boho with the simple polish of true glamour. ”

Hot new names to look out for include Briony Marsh (VIC) and Lisa Brown (QLD)

Accessories stand out with chunky wrist cuffs, headbands adorned with feathers, charms and over sized jewels. Combine these statement pieces with soft “glamazon” waves or an exaggerated version of traditional styles like the french roll, with heaps of body and a few fly-aways.

For the boys it’s all about a well cut suit in a light or neutral tone and a clean cut ‘bond-esque’ attitude.

See Kaz at Brave New World in William St Northbridge to get the “other half” looking good!! She even has an awesome range of original handmade ties made from exquisite fabrics!

Well the social calendar is filling fast, so we hope to see you out and about this Summer!

And don’t forget, we are open from 8am till Midday on Cup Day for all your styling needs, be sure to book ASAP cos spaces fill up quickly!!

Jasper Jones is a great read.

The talk is that it gets you in from the first page and seems to have equal appeal to men and women.

You might remember that Silvey’s first novel Rhubarb was chosen as the Book of the Festival a few years back.

You might also be interested to hear Craig Silvey talk about Jasper Jones at the UWA Spring extension talks in October. The tickets are $20 and you have to book.
