Hair Headband

I always tell my clients not to wash their hair everyday. On day 1 you can leave it down. Day 2 if your bangs start to feel too oily, try this style!

Separate your bangs from the rest of your hair. Pick up a small piece of hair and start twisting away from your face while picking up more hair. Kind of like a french braid how you start with a small section and add more hair. Pin it back with a bobby pin and you are good to go!

Balayage/sombre


No matter how long you've been doing hair you can always use models to show off your new techniques you've leaned. Not only did I think my sister-in-law would look great with a balayage or sombre, but I was wanting to try a new hair color by Joico. I wanted to make sure it lived up to what it advertised. I started off by taking a before picture.

To create this look I started with Sunlights lightener. I took big sections (about 1 inch) and sliced it in half. The bottom half of the section I did not paint any lightener on. I clipped those to the side and painted lightener in a skinny "v" pattern on the top half of the 1 inch sections. With her career I did not want the color too drastic. I did not use foils and just let the lighener air dry as it processed on her hair. I used a scoop and a half of lightener and 40 volume developer.
After 50 minutes processing time, this was our result after the lightener. This is where I was able to use Joico Lumishine demi permanent on her hair. I wanted to get her to about a level 7 or 8 so the demi permanent would deposit all the tones properly.
 
After glossing her with a 7NWB by Joico Lumishine with level 5 developer for 20 minutes and curled her hair the results were amazing! The lightener got her past the "orange" phase and I was able to deposit a neutral warm tone on her to keep the caramel color, but the neutral in the demi permanent canceled out the remaining orange tones. She was very happy with the results!

About me

 

My name is Tiffany Jones and I am a hairstylist at House of Style salon in Columbia City, IN. I have been a stylist for over 11 years and take pride in the work I do.


From the time I was little I was styling, cutting and starting new hair trends. I never really knew I wanted to do hair until I got into high school and took a test which leads you to job that fit your personality. Girly, talkative, easy going, yep that sounds good for a hairstylist!



Every day at my job is different and I have to come up with different "personalities" to accomodate each client. I am Cinderella when I am cutting little girls' hair and pretend to be a football fan when guys come in. Some days I am so exhausted by the end of the day I don't even want to make one more decision. My husband may ask, "where do you want to eat tonight?" and my mind will go blank! "You might have to order for me also!" I tell him!


I love my clients and I love what I do! My clients have become some of my best friends and most of the time I have a story for each person I have been waiting to tell them. The salon I work at is even better. An owner who lets us choose hours, prices, organize the salon how we want and always lets us put our own families first. The girls I work with are so family oriented we don't have the energy to bicker at each other or talk bad about another. We are loving mothers who want nothing more than to watch our children succeed, and to make enough to provide a little extra for them!
