Is the pixie cut hair style for you?

Cate Blanchett is the newest celebrity to jump on the pixie cut hair style wagon this summer.  Cate proudly showed off her new pixie cut at last night’s Tony Awards Show.
Hayden Panttiere, Carrie Mulligan, Jessica Stroup, Michelle Williams, Janet Jackson and Victoria Beckman have all recently chopped off their locks to a simple, summer pixie cut hair style. See their new pixie cut hair styles here.

I think the pixie cut hair style suits Cate Blanchett. It’s not my favorite hairstyle on her, but she still wears it well, with ease and poise and that’s what counts. Cate exudes self-confidence and that’s an important trait to have when making such a daring move . . . believe me.

“Pixie Cut Hair is a
Smash on Cate”Seasoned hairdressers know the clients who can handle this type of hairstyle change from those who would have some serious regrets after the fact! It’s a bold move for most women to cut off shoulder length hair like Cate’s, to a pixie cut hair style. So what should take into consideration before going for it?

Best face shapes for the pixie cut is oval and heart with nice bone structure.  The pixie cut is also best on women with a petite frame.

The pixie cut hair style is as easy as it gets for hair maintenance . . . just be sure if you’re thinking of cutting off more than 6 inches of hair, that it’s not a ‘spur of the moment’ decision. If you’ve decided to ‘cut it off’ in the midst of lots of stress in your life . . . give yourself some time and consult with your hairdresser about your decision.

Hair Salon Business

.

.

Hair salon business gives rise to “The Dry Bar.”

You know I’m always keeping an ear out for what’s new in the world of hair and hair salon businesses. Here’s a new idea that we might see popping up across the country and wouldn’t you know Los Angeles, California is first to have a “blow dry only bar!”“New Hair Salon Business”.

My first reaction is that it takes some pretty big cojones to open a new type of hair salon business like this one that services what seems to be such a small niche.  But as I read on, I remembered all the women in my classes, “Finding the Right Hairstyle for You,” who insisted that when they left their hair salon their hair looked fabulous, but when they tried creating the same style at home . . . they were hair styling impaired.

The “Dry Bar” opened in February in Los Angeles with the expectation that enough women will grace their place in order to have an amazing looking hairstyle for an evening, a special event or just because they want their hair to look great and had no time to do it themselves.

If the reviews on-line are a true indication of how things are blowing . . . it looks like they just might have found a new niche for the hair salon business. (And not to worry, they aren’t trying to steal you away from your hairdressers.)

The ambiance is more like a lounge than your average hair salon. Clients sit at a bar, sip complimentary cocktails, munch on snacks and watch the tube with chick flicks like “Sex in the City,” all the while getting all dolled up for whatever occasion!

Hmmmmm . . . you know ladies how much you love the pampering of a great pedicure/manicure and how it can make you feel like a million bucks. Why not a great blow-out? (I did read one review that mentioned a curling iron came into play with her blow out hairstyle, that’s good that’s an option.)

Here’s what Kat said:

The menu is straight forward, each blow-out option costs $35. The menu includes The Cosmopolitan for loose curls, The Mai Tai for messy, beachy styles and The Southern Comfort for voluminous, full bodied hair. (Up-dos are an option too).

What do you think? Good idea for a type of hair salon business? Could you see yourself kicking back at the ‘Dry Bar’ or making an appointment for a rare dress up occasion where you could use some professional help? Gotta love our entrepreneurs!
