Hair Color Ombré Fairfax Salon Reflections of You Highlights

Ombré has taken over, but now it's time we play with the idea of what world renowned hair colorist, Beth Minardi, refers to as "lit from within". She tells us that the idea of using this technique is to create "a deeper root and highlights that look as if they have grown out from the scalp." The defenition of the word ombré is a visual transformation of color from light to dark.  Ombré is everywhere from our hair, to our nails and even carried out in fashion through our wardrobe. This style has grown popular among celebrities and you can hardly find a magazine without some form of ombré featured on the front cover.

As a stylist at Reflections of You Salon in Fairfax, I have found that each guest wants me to create a customized version of ombré for them. In some cases, guests want more of the highlights to peek out from underneath a beautiful rich color. For this look, Reflections of You Fairfax has created Highlights in Motion. Highlights in Motion is a popular trending technique that creates elements of movement with multiple colors of dimension within the hair. Using this technique we can accentuate the depths of your hair by specific placement of highlights and lowlights that peek purposefully from underneath and cascade beautifully to frame the face.
In most other cases I have found that my guests are interested in a look where the highlights are more noticable and dramatic. Reflections of You Fairfax created the Summer Lights technique to use in this scenario. Summer Lights is a highlighting and lowlighting technique used to create a bolder effect of color to enhance the overall look as fuller and more vibrant. If you are ready for pieces that pop, then this is the technique for you!
Both techniques that we have developed as a "play on ombré" are beautiful transitions for hair that take the beauty industry to an entire new level. Guests want and deserve to feel like an individual. Services are meant to be tailored and customized base on your preferences and lifestyle. At Reflections of You Fairfax is a united goal to create the ultimate experience for each guest by creating these techniques that enhance your natural beauty! Ombré "breaks the rules" of haircolor by creating a look of roots. This has enocuraged guests to step out of their comfort zone and into the hands of your haircolor experts!

Best Mascara Best Hair Salon Fairfax Reflections of You

Hold on to your lashes ladies and gentlemen, because with this specially formulated mascara they are about to take flight! According to the company, "Blinc Mascara is the original mascara invented to form tiny water-resistant "tubes" around your lashes rather than painting them like conventional mascaras." According to Allure magazine, "[Blinc is] the best beauty product you've never heard of."
Believe me, I have used every new "does it all" mascara and ended up unhappy, with racoon eyes! (Ugh!) All that has changed with Blinc Mascara; my favorite part about the product is actually what it DOESN'T do! It doesn' run, smudge, clump or flake. Of course, I also love the fact that I can create more volume and length with a water-resistant mascara!
Blinc Mascara specifically caters to senstive eyes, so even though I wear contact lenses and am very active, my mascara stays put and doesn't cause iritation. Real Simple magazine says that Blinc is "the best mascara for sensitive eyes."
The product is very easy to use, simply apply your preferrable number of coats to clean dry lashes until desired volume, length and separation is achieved! It is just as easy to remove, simply use lots of warm water with gentle pressure and the tubes of mascara will remove effortlessly- causing no damage to your lashes. I have had no trouble with applying Blinc and find it easiest if I wet my fingers with warm water to remove it.
Blinc Mascara is available in black, dark brown, medium brown, dark blue, dark purple and dark green. With such a variety of colors you are able to select one to emphasize your eyes. My personal favorite is the blue, because it is new and different, but not scary or crazy! When I am going for a night out I typically apply three coats of my Dark Blue Blinc Mascara for a more dramatic and bold look!
Reflections of You Salon and Spa in Fairfax, Virginia carries the Blinc Mascara line and is able to answer any questions regarding the product and its uses. Feel free to call, 703-591-5306 or stop by, 11213-L Lee Highway, Fairfax, VA 22030 to check it out!

Until next time,
Xo, Rebecca

Best Hair Product Hair Salon Fairfax


Ever feel like you are overwhelmed with mountains of products on your bathroom counter? Of course, they all do something “different” or “special” and yet you still can’t find that go-to, always does the trick product… Well, things are about to change because I have gotten my hands on one of the most versatile products on the market! Not to mention it is all organic, natural and color protective! As a licensed cosmetologist that sees several heads of hair throughout the week, I can guarantee that this product is unlike any other professional sculptant out there. What’s it called, you ask? Taffy Whip! Taffy Whip is a Carmel Sculptant that is made up of shitake mushrooms, corn starch fibers and vegetable oil. And the fun is not only in the name, you actually have fun applying it too! It only takes a pea-sized amount in the palm of your hand to start working its magic, simply rub your hands together to emulsify the product and literally start clapping it out over your head! You will notice that, due to the fibers in the product, the Surface Taffy Whip actually spreads out over the hair and cascades on to each strand without “globbing” it into the hair! The mushrooms create a rubberized, weightless texture to the hair that enhances natural or thermal waves and curls and evens tames frizz. In addition, when the product is blow dried into the hair it interacts with the vegetable oil creating a smoothing serum to soften the hair while maintaining style memory and hold! I have found this product to work wonders on all hair textures from fine to coarse, short to long, men or women! Taffy Whip by www.SurfaceHair.com is a must-have product and is available in Northern Virginia at Reflections of You Fairfax salon and spa.  http://roysalon.com/

Healthy Natural Ammonia Free Hair Color Fairfax Hair Salon


Are you someone who persues a balance between nature and urban living?
Are you concerned with using natural, healthy ingredients?
Are you using products that are eco-friendly?
Are you in need of information?
Do you read labels and ask questions regarding ingredients?

Essensity Color by Schwarzkopf Professional is the breakthrough in permanent ammonia free colours! Extensive research by Schwarzkopf Professional Labratories has enabled Essensity to deliver professional, high-performing product formulations, in which synthetic ingredients are replaces whenever possible without compromising on performance. Essensity color offers you the first permanent color line with 0% Ammonia, Odor, Silicones, Paraffin, Mineral Oils, Parabens, Formaldehyde Derivatives, Artificial Colorants and Alcohol.

With exceptional performance this line offers up to 100% Gray Coverage, up to 4 Levels of Lift, Stability of the Hair Structure and Protection Against External Influences. This product is 90% Natural Ingredients- which is absolutely incredible!

The unique technology of Essensity consits of AMEA-Technology and Oil-in-Cream Formulation. This stands for the synergistic combination of two alkalizing agent, Aminomethylpropanol and Monoethanolamine, which provide superb color performance. This also helps to penetrate the protective layer of the melanin. This is superior to other common "ammonia-free" hair coloring systems. This technology has an additional benefit of NOT compromising the hair quality.

The formula is enriched with Grape Seed Oil which provides extraordinary anti-oxidative properties and work against free-radicals whick may affect your cell membrane. Ectoin  is also a key ingredient in the formulation of Essensity Color as it is a natural substance which is created by micro-organisms and delivers caring properties. Protecting properties which can help to stabilize the protein chains are present in hair and therefore guarantee a high performance and the most possible caring coloration service. For a long-last color result and intense shine. Bees Wax is an agent intermixed with the color line that is a natural wax produced in the bee hive of honey bees and is known to contain mineral nutrients and Vitamin A for suppleness and natural shine.

Water is much more than a precious element. Water is an essential component of Essensity Color. Generally the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of water quality is Drinking Water. However, that is not so for Professional Hair Cosmetics. Drinking water still contains salts, minerals and often germs that can react with the active ingredients of the formulas reducing the expected results. (For example, when you use an at-home, not professional color.) Essensity keeps natures best ingredients and essences fresh by using only water that has undergone a special series of filtering processes to guarantee the absolute clean and pure water quality is used. This ensures perfect product quality and is your guarantee for outstanding salon quality and performance.
