GIRL’S NIGHT OUT GLAM: HOW TO GET RED CARPET GORGEOUS HAIR IN FIVE STEPS OR LESS By Top Cristophe Salon Beverly Hills Stylists

February 10, 2017

Five High Style Looks Made Simple By Top Cristophe Salon Beverly Hills Stylists

With award season underway we are seeing all the stars out on the red carpet. For those that want to look glam on any given night out but do not want to spend hours getting ready, two top stylists at renowned Beverly Hills salon, Cristophe, are sharing their top looks that can be done in five steps or less.

Here Master Stylist Egle Miciene breaks down two unique takes on classic styles:

Edgy Fishtail Braid: start the look with sleek hair. (OBSESSED!!!)

  • Create a low side ponytail with a side part.
  • Wrap a section of hair around the rubber band to hide the band.
  • Fishtail braid the rest of the ponytail and pull hair out from the braid to give a more natural/loose look.
  • Flip the fishtail up the side of the head and secure with bobby pins.
  • Pull pieces out to compliment around the face.

Sexy Messy Bun: start the look with wavy hair.

  • Use a texturing mouse at the roots to create tousled texture.
  • Create a ponytail at the crown of the head and tie a sponge around it.
  • Tease the ponytail and use flexible hairspray to hold in place.
  • From the tail wrap it around the bun securing it with a rubber band.
  • Pull some pieces out to give a sexier/tousled appearance.

Here Senior Stylist Tonia Day reveals three chic styles:

 Modern Ponytail Or Chignon:

  • Pull hair into ponytail where desired and secure with a rubber band.
  • Wrap easy pliable wire around the base of the ponytail.
  • Separate the ponytail into two sections and continue to wrap wire around each section down to the ends.
  • Pull hair out in between wire for a more textured and full look.
  • The ponytail can be left down or twisted up into a chignon. Two styles in one!

Classic Glam Wave:

  • Curl hair with a 1” iron.
  • Use a heat protectant which will also add shine and hold.
  • Brush curls with a Mason Pearson brush to smooth and form the wave.
  • Finish with medium hold hair spray.

Sleek + Chic:

  • Smooth the ends of hair with a blow dryer and round brush.
  • Use a serum mid-shaft to ends to seal ends and add shine.
  • Use a styling wax to comb hair back into a sleek wet look.
  • Once brushed into desired look, use a shaping hair spray to finish.
  • Hold shape with duck bill clips and let dry.

RENE FURTERER TREATMENT ATELIER MAKES WEST COAST DEBUT AT CRISTOPHE SALON;

February 7, 2017

On-Site Consultations And Customized Treatment Plans

Everyone’s hair is different. Many of us go through life complaining about our hair, when really any hair concern stems from the scalp. Now with the patented technology of the Capilliscope, a diagnostic tool that examines the hair at the root bulb, Angelenos can have their hair concerns scientifically diagnosed and treated. The Rene Furterer Treatment Atelier will offer one-on-one consultations by trained Cristophe Salon professionals with on-site treatments and personalized hair care regimes to achieve lust worthy hair.

“A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair,” says Cristophe, Founder of Cristophe Salons. “We are excited to partner with the hair and scalp experts at Rene Furterer to offer our clients the leading technology in the industry that can diagnose all hair concerns. Our trained stylists will formulate a personalized treatment plan while providing a relaxing and luxurious experience.”

“We are very pleased about our partnership with the prestigious Cristophe Salons” adds Francois Viargues, Vice President of Rene Furterer USA. “Cristophe’s team is very talented, they will perform the best hair and scalp diagnosis and offer the appropriate scalp treatment and massages to its clients with our very natural line”.

By magnifying the scalp using the Capilliscope, the Cristophe Salon stylists can determine which personalized hair care ritual is best suited to each individual. Once the diagnosis is determined, the scalp is first prepared and cleansed before applying any treatment. To start, the hair is brushed with a specialized technique to breakdown scalp build-up and stimulate hair follicles. Following is a 9-step massage that relaxes the scalp, improves blood circulation and promotes lymphatic exchange to allow maximum penetration of key ingredients. The hair is shampooed and then the deep conditioning mask and scalp treatment that has been selected is applied. Hair technicians will also provide a suggested at-home regime.

Offered will be instant treatments to enhance color and nourish dry scalp and hair, express treatments to cleanse and soothe the scalp, premium express treatments for thinning hair and hair strengthening, and luxury treatments for hair renewal and nourishing. Clients who have already received the diagnosis can opt to come in just for a wash where they will be shampooed and conditioned with products picked specifically for their needs, get a relaxing 10-minute scalp massage as well as specific scalp and hair treatments.

Philip Kingsley PK Prep: In Search Of Volume Part 1

January 23, 2017

I grew up with a mother who was graced with the most gorgeous locks. No matter what style she chose, each piece would continue to know its role in landing effortlessly and beautifully, it was a talent to say the least. My father, although incredibly equipped with many fantastic features, hair was not one of them. Sadly, I inherited his thin wispy hair and have spent most of my adult life hunting for that magical serum to add luster and volume to these unfortunate locks of mine. As we girls go through our own journey into vanity, trial and error play a role and most of the serums that came into my life did not hold up their end of the bargain.

Until Philip Kingsley PK Prep came along and boy oh boy do they understand the concept of plumping. I can finally report that I do see a difference and that difference is grand. I love this serum, it does what it says it is going to do and I know we ladies appreciate that in more ways then one. Try it, love it, see your hair turn into what you have always wanted it to be. Full of life, healthy happy voluminous hair.
