Hot Hair Tip

Mia's Signature Anti-aging Hair Treatment... HALO

It might be hard to imagine but if one can get away from the idea of obliterating the grey with an allover tint and blending with highlights or balayage one can decrease salon visits and get rid of the dreaded solid outgrowth an all over tint can give.

Make your silver strands your ally--and a face framing highlight! Nothing is more youthful than silver bits being transformed into bright creamy highlights--one may be surprised how easy this can be. Let your roots come in and then come in for a rejuvinating highlight for blending and you may be surprised.

In fact, I have created and branded my very own anti-aging hair coloring technique called HALO in order to give you back a more youthful you.

I was recently interviewed about my new HALO technique by my long-time client and premiere San Francisco plastic surgeon, Dr. Carolyn Chang.
The interview was posted on her new, must-read blog. Dr. Chang was just named to the Vogue 100, a group of 100 women around the country selected by Vogue to serve as editors, tastemakers, and ambassadors in the world of fashion and beauty. So, obviously, she is IN THE KNOW!

You MUST check out Dr. Chang's blog for her onpoint insights into the world of plastic surgery, anti-aging, health and beauty...

And don't forget to make an appointment to turnback the clock with a heaven-sent, HALO treatment!

Hot Hair Product

Sulfate free shampoos--used to be the rarity--Deva was the first. Now everyone from L'oreal to Fekkai carry them. My clients with dry scalp and hair (everyone has that this time of year) love WEN......Yes, its on QVC but everyone loves it!!!!!

The WEN Cleansing Conditioner is a revolutionary new concept in cleansing your hair that has Hollywood buzzing! It’s special because it cleanses hair thoroughly but without lathering and all the harsh ingredients that may be found in ordinary shampoos — it is designed so it won’t strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils. Your hair is left with sheen, moisture, manageability and better color retention.

Hair I'm LOVIN' Now!!!

I recently was struck by a photo in OK Magazine of The Hills star, Audrina Patridge. She had added highlights to her lovely brunette locks and I LOVED it!

The auburn highlights compliment her olive skin and green eyes and add to her all around California girl vibe.

We have all seen the hair horrors of bad brunette highlights where beautiful brown turns brassy and even orange due to poor technique and overprocessing. But, Audrina's hair mocks those bad dye jobs and says, "Yes, we can!"

Come in to turn your brown upside down.

Is it Time to Transition from Summer to Fall Hair?

Here in the Bay Area we are lucky to have an Indian Summer--warm temps thru October! Have one last bright hurrah with bright highlights that keep the warmth going--save going darker for November when we will tone down with just a few bright pieces and a rich undertone. Book now for both and know you will change with the seasons.
