Sandra Bullock’s 2010 Oscar Hair

Posted at 4:22 AM • No Comments

Sandra Bullock’s hairstyle at the 2010 Oscars was simple yet elegant. The Hollywood actress picked up the best actress Oscar for her role in “The Blind Side” and looked great in a celebrity hairstyle.

I loved Sandra Bullock’s long sleek, side-parted locks. Her down-do hairstyle at the 2010 Oscars had a perfectly smooth finish. Tucking front sections kept her face in the spotlight and her Oscar hairstyle looked sophisticated.

The best hairstyles at the Oscars this year were understated yet elegant. Updo’s dominated the Oscar hair amongst actresses during the 82nd Academy Awards. Many actresses such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristen Stewart all had their chic updo’s photographed on the red carpet of Oscars 2010.

Stars who didn’t opt for an updo went for the sleek straight hairstyle. Sandra Bullock’s Oscar hair belonged to this category. The Best Actress Oscar winner’s side part and blow out looked simple yet classic paired with her more elaborate Marchesa dress.

Frederic Fekkai hairstylist Adir Abergel created Sandra Bullock’s red carpet ‘do. After the makeover, she was in a league of her own with long, glossy, side-parted hair that rocked the 2010 Academy Awards. Everyone was left wondering, how, exactly, does hair even get that shiny?

The secret to Sandra Bullock’s Oscar hair was revealed by Abergel when he said that he wanted to “bring back simplicity.” He stressed on the importance of using the right shampoo and conditioner to achieve shiny hair.

Adir Abergel coated Bullock’s hair with Smooth Finish Serum. He then pulled all of Bullock’s hair over to one side and added a wave at the end. This style seemed to be a popular style at the Oscars this year, as Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet were seen sporting similar styles.

Can a haircut make you look younger...

Posted at 11:35 AM • No Comments

A haircut refers to a styling of head hair with the help of hair shears. It is done either to fashion the current style or attain a makeover. In any case, a haircut does make you look younger.

Ever since Susan Boyle’s Makeover, she has been looking younger than her actual age. Its surprising to see how a haircut helped her to alter her looks and appear younger and smarter.

Generally, a haircut is determined by many factors, such as the subject’s physical attributes and desired self-image or the stylist’s artistic instincts. Stylists use professional hair shears for hair cutting while considering the natural hair type and growth pattern, face and head shape, and overall body proportions.

The secret of looking five or ten years younger isn’t surgery or some beauty products. You just need a haircut to give yourself a new and younger look. Susan Boyle from Britain’s Got Talent had a makeover and everyone appreciated her new look.

So if you too want to add a bit more glamorous look to your personality, you should immediately visit a salon and have a consultation with the stylist.

Professional stylists will help you by suggesting the right kind of look for your age. By making use of professional hair shears, they will give you a completely new look which will boost your confidence and make you look youthful.

Salon Location impacts business

Posted at 12:33 PM • No Comments

Salon location is an important aspect that needs consideration while starting a new salon. Many successful salon owners credit the success of their business to their location of salon.

The first step to build any business is to know where you want to build it. An old adage says, the three most important aspects of opening a new business is location, location, location. This applies to every business and if you are planning to start a new salon, you need to carefully study the area.

Salon location should be such that it not only helps to attract clients but is spacious enough to accommodate a large number of clients. After all, you would never like to turn down clients because you cannot accommodate them. Those that are starting a salon for the first time may not realize the importance of location but it actually determines your success in the long run.

Salon location should be based on a needs assessment. This is a process which considers the traffic flow, view from the street and distance from competition. Hiring a demographic consultant can be a good option to help in finalizing the perfect location for your salon. If you cannot invest in a consultant, then you may working with local agencies and government departments. Most government agencies offer information for free or at a nominal cost but this is a time consuming process.

John Donato, one of Canada’s top stylist was featured on ScissorBoy’s cosmetology program and he too stressed on the importance of salon location. He said it is the location that provides maximum exposure to the business and makes success almost definite.

Every salon needs visibility to attract customers. While deciding location for salon, size is a very important aspect. Mostly, salons start out by renting a location but then they face problems in future as they grow and expand. Therefore, while deciding your salon location, consider your future requirements so that you can always enjoy a successful business.

Why you should use hair serum

Posted at 9:40 AM • No Comments

Hair serum is a hairstyling product that is used to temporarily add volume, body and shine to thin or flat hair. Applying hair serum is safe and an efficient way to keep your hair healthy.

Regular application of hair serum helps to bring back the luster and shine in hair. Our hair is subjected to extreme conditions such as pollution, exposure to the sun, dirt, etc. and these factors damage hair. In order to keep hair in a good condition, it is necessary to take proper care.

Using shampoo and conditioner will only add volume and keep hair clean. However, using hair serum has more benefits to hair than using regular shampoos. Hair serum contain humectants which work by attracting moisture from the surrounding areas to the hair strand. This makes hair look thicker and shiny.

Another benefit of using hair serum is that it protects hair from getting overheated due to the use of heated styling tools like curling irons, blow dryers, etc. It also solves the problem of tangle and prevents it from getting frizzy. Hair serum also protects hair from being dry, coarse and dull.

Application of hair serum

Applying hair serum is easy and similar to the way we apply our regular hairstyling products. However, there is a technique to apply it and you must follow proper steps to get optimum results after applying it.

To learn the correct way of applying hair serum, subscribe to ScissorBoy’s online cosmetology program. It features expert stylists who teach the proper techniques of styling your hair.
