INK IT OVER
Is the nail salon the new tattoo parlor?

If there’s one thing readers can agree upon, it’s that anything inked is pretty awesome. See: tattoo tights and temporary tattoos.

So we admittedly freaked out over China Glaze’s fall nail polish collection, called Ink, which features colors that look like they were drained straight from the needle at our local tattoo parlor.

There are six regular shades, all named after popular tattoo designs (raise your hand if you have a blue sparrow on your back or a koi fish on your arm), and a special black polish with an ultra-fine brush, so you can add tattoo-inspired prints to your fingers. Or, if your hand-eye coordination is a bit off, you can just stick on one of their nail decals.

And unlike an actual tattoo, if you get sick of the look you can just get out some nail polish remover and start from scratch. Because not even Johnny Depp could have a tattoo forever.

ONE WORD! AWESOME

..... and no one is allowed to kiss me

hair extensions for length or fullness



Hair extension information.
Here is a quick look at the different methods of applying hair extensions:
Hair extensions can be attached to your head in many different ways, including gluing, tubing, sewing, and clipping on. Different methods have different advantages. The method you choose will depend on many factors: your hair, your lifestyle, your budget, and your needs, for starters. If you are looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking hair extension, though, consider one of the fusion methods.

Fusion is generally the preferred method as fused hair extensions can last up to three to six months with skilled application and proper care. With fusion hair extensions, the extensions should be indistinguishable from your natural hair. If properly applied, the attachment site should be virtually invisible.

Fusion hair extensions can be applied in different ways: hot or cold fusion. Hot fusion or bonding uses hot glue to attach extensions to your hair. This is the more traditional method. While it does have many happy followers, others say that the glue causes the extensions to feel stiff and unnatural. These extensions can last up to 4 months.

Hot fusion– (lasts 3-4 months) This method won't harm natural hair but doesn't have a lot of adhesive for holding power needed for extended wear. After a few washings, the tubes can loosen, releasing strands, which then allows even more extension hair to fall out. You generally loose about 3-4 strands throughout the period they are in. $125-150 full head.

Cold fusion- (last 3-4 months) this method uses no heat, it is good for all hair types. Uses a metal tube clamped over the real hair to attach extension hair. $125-150 full head.
Fusion hair extensions are more expensive than other methods. If you want long-lasting, natural-looking luscious hair, they just might be the extensions for you.

Weaves – (lasts 2 weeks) Tiny braids hold hair extensions against the scalp, like cornrows, except these braids are hidden. $75 full head.

Bonding – (lasts shampoo to shampoo) The extensions used for this method have a latex plug meant to be glued to your own hair for short terms use. Because this method is fast it's also inexpensive. However, to remove extensions, oil and heat must be used to dissolve the bonding agent, which messy and time consuming. If not removed with care the latex can pull your own hair out. $30 full head.

Braids, Cornrows, Twists, Locks - Integrates extensions in a visible way in that the braided attachment is seen but blends into the hairstyle. $ upon consultation

PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE HAIR. YOU WOULD NEED TO GOTO SUNNYS OR ANOTHER HAIR STORE FOR HAIR.

hairstyle of the day!




I really don't think people (men and women) spend enough time styling their hair.... a cute cut like this can look like a horrible cut unstyled.. so listen to your stylist and they are explaining how to recreate your cut/style.

A hair cut is probably the most important part of your appearance. With a bad hair cut no matter what you wear, you will never feel good, (except maybe with a big hat). Every time you look in the mirror, all you will see will be your terrible hair cut.

Everybody knows what a bad hair cut is, but the same cannot be said about a good one. It's difficult to know what a good hair cut is until you've had one. With a good hair cut your hair will be take less time to style. It will look good no matter how much effort you put into it. The true test of a good hair cut is, it will still look good as it grows out. Have you ever had a hair cut that looks bad after a few weeks, and when you go back for a trim, the hairdresser thinks you have not had a hair cut for months? That's a bad hair cut.

Another definition of a good hair cut is whether or not it suits you. There is absolutely no point in creating a perfect style if it does not flatter the client. Hair cuts should enhance your appearance, not detract from or hide it.

crack for your hair



Anyone heard of this? a strip of hair is shaved from the middle of the nape of your neck up a couple inches. Apparently, some weird spiky piece of hair is sewn in. I know a bunch of you all are in Chicago. What’s the deal? This ish for real?
