Fun in the Sun

So this past weekend I got a little R&R up at Bear Lake in northern Utah. I had no idea that a lake could be that big, blue and beautiful. If you haven't been, I highly suggest before the summer is over that you find your way up to that amazing place!

Most of our time was spent outdoors, at the beach, swimming in the lake, and playing games in a huge grassy field. I felt like a kid again. The days were warm, the water was clear and the sun felt so good shining down on us!

But spending quite a bit of time outdoors comes with a price. So whenever I head outdoors for an extended period of time I always use some sort of sunscreen to protect my skin from the harmful rays of the sun. The problem is most of us forget about our hair. So by summers end our hair is damaged from the sun, water, and other elements that make our hair dry, damaged, and brittle.

There is a way to prevent this from happening. The product that I have found and fallen in love with is from Shwarzkopf's Bonacure line called Sun Guardian.

Sun Guardian is specially formulated to help refresh overstressed and damaged hair. It has UV filters in it to help protect hair from the suns damage. It is fortified with Aloe Vera and amino acids to help repair your hair's structure leaving it feeling shiny, healthy, and beautiful.

I used the shampoo and treatment all weekend to help protect my hair and I felt better knowing I wasn't only protecting my skin but my hair as well. Bonacure also carries a leave in spray conditioner that is a very lightweight formula to help moisturize your locks.
So the next time your going to be in the sun, don't only remember to protect your skin but your hair as well. Because your hair needs protection too!

If you have any questions regarding Bonacure Sun Guardian shampoo, treatment, or leave in spray please leave me a comment below!

My day job

So while I love to do on-location hair and make-up with my good friend Bev, I spend most of my time doing hair at Platinum Studio in Orem, Utah. I have been there for three and a half years and I absolutely love it! I honestly never feel like I am going to work because I truly love what I do. I feel very blessed to be able to have my "dream job".

One of the best parts of what I do would be my amazing clients. I love talking to and getting to know all of them. Hearing about their day to day lives, special events, or just talking about their up-coming plans for the weekend is what makes my day so fun and interesting!

So while getting to know my clientele I also get to use my creative side and customize cuts and colors for every client. Each of my clients has their own style, skin tone, and face shape that is unique to them. Obtaining that perfect customized cut and color is the other part of my job that is very rewarding.

I would love to get to know you and customize your cut and color! Below is my contact info-ask for BRETT! See you soon!!

Such a Tease

You know you are a true girl when you find that perfect something and know you just have to have it. It may be a new pair of shoes that would change your world and every outfit you wore with them. It could be a purse or handbag that feels like butter underneath your fingertips. Or you may find the perfect pair of skinny jeans that make your legs feel and look like a supermodel strolling down the runway.

But for most of us girls out there the most important accessory of all is our hair. And when you find that perfect color that goes flawlessly with you, you feel like you can conquer the world.

Awhile ago I found my new favorite trend for hair color.

TEASY HIGHLIGHTS

Many of us love going lighter for the summer. A little bit of highlighting and bam we feel ready for those long summer days and cool summer nights. The problem is Fall comes around and we quickly fall out of love with our highlights and want to go back to a darker more rich hair color for Winter. While this may be the trend it is not always the healthiest for our hair. The process of going from light to dark and dark to light season after season is a great equation for damaged and over processed hair.

TEASY HIGHLIGHTS are a great solution because it combines the best of both worlds. It gives the foundation of a darker hair color that is then diffused, melted or TEASED with a lighter color flowing out towards the ends of your hair. Also this is a great solution if you are wanting to go for a more rich color for Fall by letting those summer highlights grow out and transitioning slowing into that darker hair color without over processing or damaging your hair.

So if you are looking for that new favorite hair color to pair with those new shoes and fabulous pair of skinny jeans you might not need to look any further.

TEASY HIGHLIGHTS may be that next perfect thing that could change your world!

Lucious Locks

To start off the wedding season I couldn't have asked for a more perfect canvas to create a flowing yet timeless look for my bride Jenni.

She has the hair that every girl dreams of. Thick, long, shiny, and beautiful are all the words that came to mind when working with her hair.

For her special day I wanted to make sure that she felt like herself, but in a glamorized and sophisticated way.

I'm a big believer that on your wedding day you should be able to recognize yourself in the mirror instead of looking and seeing someone you barely recognize.

Too many brides out there think that the standard up-do is what they need for their wedding day.

I think that for your special occassion a key phrase to keep in mind is less is more.
By keeping that key point in mind you will feel the most beautiful and comfortable in your own skin.
