Let’s face it, not all dreams are meant to come true, right? …Wrong! In this day and age, there is no cut, color or style that you shouldn’t be able to achieve. If you’re a thick-haired gal who wants a short haircut, you CAN get what you want, here’s how!

All over the world men and women alike are settling into a new season. Welcoming in the summer sun by scheduling salon appointments to modify their style. While some are settling for trims or transformational cuts others are turning their look up a notch with a fresh new shade. Whether asking for balayage, baby-lights, foil-yage or teasylights one thing is for certain – you should be asking your stylist for a bond protector at your next color appointment.
