New Attitude Salon and Day Spa

Gray hairs are a menace to society—always causing a rift in the neighborhood amongst the other strands and standing out in a not-so-pleasant kind of way. To keep your  “property value” from decreasing, New Attitude recommends Keune Semi-Permanent Color – (Vibrant Red shown above). Semi-Permanent provides a beautiful result that has dimension and “pop.” Extra shine, extra color and extra durability are also unique qualities.

Semi Color is the perfect color choice for

This spring, the forecast calls for bold, graphic cuts styled into soft, feminine shapes inspired by iconic personalities of the late 20th century. To kick off your creative inspiration, put images of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill and Madonna from the early ‘80s on your creative boards, then jam away to some ‘90s grunge music, says Antoinette Beenders and the Aveda Artistic Team.

Cuts will be elegant but with a lot of movement and disconnection. And for color, think material girl “bleached out” locks but with a softer, more feminine vibe, like this look from Aveda’s latest collection Sublime, show above. 

For styling, think soft, textured styles with organic movement. Aveda Light Elements™ Texturizing Creme and Shaping Wax will do the trick since they offer a weightless, light hold in any type of hair.

Our stylists are well-equipped to make these looks a reality!  If you’re thinking you need a new look for Spring, schedule your appointment today!

Ashley, shown above, is a prime example of how a talented stylist who knows what they are doing can make all the difference.  Ashley came to the Salon with a super cute but slightly overgrown bob and (gasp!) box color, so we immediately sat her down for a makeover cut and color.  It was through talent and capablity that Ashley emerged with a trendy Box Bob and X-Pattern Highlights in varying shades of vibrant red, both of which are techniques taught to our stylists.

The “Silver Fox”

The 2010 Grammy Awards certainly did not disappoint us this past Sunday night. From the good (Gaga and Elton John) to the bad (ahem, Britney’s dress) to the awkward (too many to list), the evening was packed with one eye-popping spectacle after another!

New Attitude was of course affixed on the hair; and amidst the sea of long, wavy and natural, Rihanna and Pink’s ultra-glam, ultra-feminine Mohawks caught our attention!!

These diva’s have been rocking their punked-out coifs for a while, but Pink surprised us with a splash of an unexpected color.  Her perfectly platinum hair was tipped with silver, a subtle yet beautiful transition.  Paired with an elegant ombre’ mermaid gown, understated makeup and sparkly accessories, Pink definitely takes our vote and award for most fearlessly fashionable!

When it comes to color, the main thing we do is maintain a true color, in this case blonde, without tipping over the edge into the realm of too yellow, too bright, too solid or too unnatural. To do that, we highlight the hair with a really fine weave of alternating colors.

The most important thing is to ‘brick lay’ through the crown, through the part and the bangs. This means that the way you place foils are like bricks, they overlap. The foils are not in big rows. That’s really how we’re able to get it to look seamless.

Depending on the season, we may add more lowlights for a winter blond, then remove lowlights altogether in the summer. The important thing is to make everything look natural.

Once we’ve achieved your perfect color, we can keep it that way each time. New Attitude Stylists are very careful when going back over the head at later appointments, making sure not to relighten previously lightened hair. It is important to know that when you keep applying color over and over again, breakage occurs.
