Enhance your skin. Tips from the famed Misha Nesselrod.

 

we all want beautiful skin...

Don’t fret if your skin isn’t spot- and line-free—that’s what primer and foundation are for. To fake a pristine complexion, follow these steps given to us by Misha Nesselrod, Holiday’s Key Makeup Artist: 
1) To prevent makeup from settling into lines and acne scars, prep skin with a primer.Smear it on everywhere you intend to apply foundation or concealer. 
2) Depending on your preference, dampen a sponge or brush 
3) Pour a nickel-size drop of foundation into your hand, and dip the brush or the pointed end of the sponge into it. 
4) Spread the foundation onto your skin in the thinnest possible layers. Makeup artists swear that if you start at your forehead and move down toward the nose, cheeks, and chin, you’ll get the most natural-looking finish. (It helps to smooth down all the little hairs on your cheeks and keeps you from ODing on tricky areas, like your jawline.)

Holiday’s Hair Accessories Report.

Just in: a headband that’s chic, comfortable, and doesn’t break our bank account (three musts). The hair clips and headbands from True Birds are so pretty and romantic, we thought of Renoir’s ballerinas—all the chiffon going on. Our favorite is the Budding Chiffon, the line’s signature look. We’ve been obsessed with headbands for a while now, and this one is so easy to wear, we couldn’t take it off for days!

There’s nothing like a good headband on a bad hair day. But, according to a Goody survey, 62 percent of women complain that they get painful headaches from the accessories. No need to suffer: These four are comfortable and stylish.

1. Terri Fellows links-on elastic: Created by Fellows, a hairstylist at the James Corbett Studio in New York City, the double-elastic straps shown above can also be twisted into cool ponytail holders. We love the camel-colored one—it looks gorg in brown hair and nearly disappears on blondes. If you want a brighter color for summer, our pick is the robin’s-egg blue.

2. L. Erickson Double Strap Headwrap Silk Dupioni: The double straps—one slightly thicker than the other—have a slight shine, thanks to the silk coating.

3. Goody Sport 2-Layer Headband: These thick cloth bands are perfect for working out or for schlepping around on the weekend—or, if you go with the black one, even for a cocktail party with a casual bun.

4. Pluma:  They’re more for show than for holding a large amount of hair back, but they’re so chic and come in a zillion color options.

Michelle Obama’s New ‘Do.

Our First Lady’s hair was the talk of the town when she stepped out with fresh new cut at a celebration of country music at the White House. The bob has been gaining popularity for a while, and this woman could do the same thing for short hair that she did for J. Crew.  With all the hustle and bustle about Michelle’s new cut, it turns out no scissors were involved! Mrs. Obama’s spokeswoman confirmed that there was no haircut, just some creative styling.  Just goes to show that you can achieve many looks with your hair with some styling tips. When you make your next appointment at Holiday Salon, ask your stylist for some new tips on how to wear your hair.

Color.

At Holiday we believe that hair color should be as clever and complimentary as a haircut.  Color can introduce movement and texture, and create new dimensions:  it can utterly alter the shape and balance of the hair and even effect the contours of the face.  Most salons approach color as an afterthought (which makes for chaotic hairdressing), but our colorists and cutters work as teams to design looks together: The results are much more balanced (and brilliant).

Torturing your Tresses???…Holiday’s Remedies:

Our poor hair. We abuse it so much. We color it. We wash it daily. We blow dry it and flat-iron it upon occasion. How do you abuse your hair? Do you curl it with hot rollers every morning? Do you highlight it? Do you put it through Japanese straightening? Is your hair constantly out in the sun without protection? Whatever your hair puts up with, we have some solutions.  Here are a few of our favorite products to remedy the torture we put our tresses through.

Kerastase: BRUME NUIT APRÈS SOLEIL: This is an overnight product to revitalize hair exposed to harmful effects of sun, salt, and sea. Soothes and calms sun-exposed scalps. Helps to preserve color-radiance. Hair fiber is replenished with softness. The “red line” by Kerastase is great for protecting and repairing your hair from damage done by the sun.

Kerastase NUTRIDÉFENSE: Replenishes and saturates the hair with lightweight softness, and offers anti-drying protection to counter the effects of harsh external elements.

BRUME NUIT APRÈS SOLEIL

“Brazilian” Keratin Treatment.

Brazilian Keratin Treatment is a revolutionary treatment for all kinds of hair.  This is an intense treatment that leaves hair soft, shiny and frizz-free for 4 months.

Keratin, the ingredient used, has strong protective qualities that improves hair inside and out. Our unique biopolymer ingredient is virtually a “liquid form of hair” that gently blends with the hair on your head. It brings to hair what it was lacking to begin with and what it has lost over the years. The Keratin Treatment is a little different from the actual “Brazilian Blowout” because our Keratin Treatment does not contain formaldehyde.
The smaller keratin molecules penetrate the hair cortex improving and repairing the quality of the hair from the inside. The added strength, elasticity and moisture result in the smooth, soft, shiny and straightened effect. The larger molecules coat the hair cuticle and take the environmental insults such as UV rays, smog, and smoke for your hair on the outside. Further damage to the hair shaft is prevented.
This month only (July), at Holiday Salon, we are taking $100 off our Keratin Treatment!  You must reference this blog post in order to receive this offer…
