What we like about Fall

Fall

The Seasons come, the seasons go.  The long Winters we try to forget.  Spring is but a gentle breeze marking the awakening of nature and Summer whisks along at such a lazy pace that we wished it would never end.

Then there is the Fall.  Fall is at once cold and colorful.  Where high fashion meets practicality and the renewed sense of urgency returns to the air.  Some take the opportunity to renew friendships at the stadium tailgate while others relish in playing dress up on a chilly October day.  Beyond these seasonal favorites, how do you spend your Fall days?  If you have become stumped, try a few of these for thought starters:

  • Fall is a great time for personal reflection
  • The first quiet time after the kids go back to school
  • A time to learn new things
  • A time to start new things which might have long term consequence
  • A time to begin taking better care of yourself again

We encourage you to try a few of these on and see if they fit.  As well, let us highlight the fact that you need to take care of yourself ALL year long.  You know the story here:  Some things are easier to gain than they are to lose.  This also applies to damaged hair roots, overly dry skin, caloused feet, spent muscles… you know the story.

I think our Stylist Danyelle Feist-Simon expressed this best the other day, ” Think about taking only ONE hour out of the month for just YOU, Stop into Mode Salon and Day Spa, have a glass of wine with a pedicure, manicure, facial or massage.  Let the staff at Mode take care or you!  Keep calm and let Mode carry you on”

So there you have it.  Take some time out for yourself this season.  Relax and have some fun.  We look forward to helping you on your journey.

Weddings

Weddings. Oh that Special Day!

Everyone is entitled to be a flawless princess for that big day.  The look for this season is that you should look like you just stepped out of a magazine!  Weddings should be glorious.

Clean lines or texture is the way to go.  Lots of simple Chignon (also known as a Buns) either tight or loose…  Swept sideways or sleek and tight on cascading curls, seamlessly blended into the most amazing Bouffant at the back and sides.

For those who doesn’t like to shoe off their neckline – half up, half down with some form of intricate braiding on cascading curls, delicately placed into position – into whatever strikes your eyes.

Naturally flawless makeup with a tint of shimmer or a little cat eye will work to top it all off.  Are you ready?  Give us a call  to put your unique look together or visit our bridal page to get started today!

Frizz

Control the Frizz

Do you ever feel like the weather is beating you in the hair battle against frizz?  Well don’t worry because I am here to help you fight back.  When it comes to products that can put moisture back in your hair you need to always remember to watch how much you use because you could go from frizz to an oil slick!

Products that are more of an oil versus a product and are sprays can always be your best bet.  The products you see that are a spray and heat protectant can have alcohol in it, and that can be one thing that can do more damage than protecting.  A product that I would highly recommend is Agadir Argan Oil, available at Mode Salon.  This product will add shine and protect your hair’s true integrity.  But remember to watch how much you put in your hair.  If you have fine hair you will want to use a dime size or less.  With medium to thick hair you can use anything from a nickle size to a quarter size in your hair.  The only other thing you must watch when using this product is to make sure you don’t put too much in your root area as it could get too oily.  Focus mainly on your mid length to ends. You can use this product on your hair wet or dry.  It will protect it from the heat and help your fly-aways.  And remember you can use your straight iron to soften and smooth your hair out when taking on the warmer weather.

Another way to help fight against the dry frizz look is to know you don’t have to wash your hair everyday if you feel you can.  Your natural oil that your body produces is good for your hair.   For some people washing your hair every day can dry your hair more.  And if you feel you can’t make it more than every other day washing then that is okay as well.  When you do feel like washing try to use a shampoo and conditioner that is hydrating at least once to twice a week.  This will condition your hair to a healthy state that you will be loving.

My last tip for you to keep your hair healthy and frizz free is to really try to avoid the products with alcohol in them. They might say they are a heat protectant but can sometimes make your hair feel dry and damaged.  Also know that you shouldn’t use hairspray when straightening your hair.  If you think about it, hairspray makes your hair stiff and hold it’s shape.  That is fine when you are done styling but not before.

So get out and enjoy the warm weather and don’t let the frizzies get you down.
