Hot Chocolate

In all this winter chill, I thought I deserved a treat. As much as I love calorie loaded treats, I'm trying to put those days behind me.

After enjoying a couple months of a deep sultry red color, I was ready to feel like me again. And what goes better with a cold winter day then some hot chocolate?!  After all, changing your hair is a treat that is always calorie free ;)

Passionately

I'm obsessed with changing my look! You only get one life to live, so why not make it an exciting and thrilling one?! I personally can't understand why a girl would never want more than a "trim", or never change her color. That is the opposite of me!

At the start of the year I had a purple ombré. It was definitely a fun look, but as usual, I became bored, and decided I needed to be blonde. Well, my blonde had run its course, and I was ready to deepen my color once again. I took a brief pit stop at pink because of my charitable spirit, but I had my heart set on one particular shade. Red violet. It is the only color I have not tried ( besides, green or yellow...but let's not get crazy! ).

I'm absolutely loving this new hue on me! I feel like a new woman. More daring. More passionate.

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, My Hair Is PINK!

Well! The time has come for me to have a change with my hair again! As much as I loved having my blonde hair, I was over it. My ambition was to go darker with it again....and it still is...but I made a pit stop along the way!

While I was in Vancouver for fashion week, I got a couple emails from my coworkers, begging me to let them color my hair pink. It's for a good cause. Good cause? Then I guess I'm in!

Gene Juarez Salon and Spas are presenting a runway show this Thursday at 7pm at the Experience Music Project, called I Am Hopeful. The ticket proceeds are benefiting the Hope Heart Institute, as more women die each year from heart disease in America, then all cancers combined. 

Come show your support and see me rock the runway this Thursday! Ticket details can be found at http://www.genejuarez.com/style.aspx.

There's A New Bombshell In Town

My friend Miel came to me yesterday looking for a big change, so change is what we gave her! With hair that had grazed her waist, she was looking for her own version of "the chop"! Off those locks came, and she was looking fabulous, but as you know, no transformation is complete without a fresh color!

Hot off the press with her new cut from me, I sent her to my mom, Sharon Gause, at Sharon's Hair Studio. She is a color educator for Matrix/Logics, and this lady knows her stuff! She enriched Miel's base color and melted it out lighter through the ends.

Below are the stages of Miel's transformation. Can we say bombshell?!

YOLO

Today is my friend Lauren's birthday and I want to give her a shout out! As I was going through pictures in my phone the other day I came across these before and after photos of the drastic change I gave her hair last summer. It was so much fun and she looks absolutely beautiful!

Remember....hair grows....so if you are thinking of making a change, go for it! It would be so boring to have your hair one way the rest of your life, so take a risk! You only live once!

Happy birthday Lauren! I hope your day is as fabulous as you are! Xo.
