@ The Office with Karen Angel

The saying "It takes a village" is not far from the truth when it came to TIGI World Release 2013. To trust your fellow teammates as Karen Angel and the TIGI Creative Team does, is based in the knowing that the best of the best have come together from all over the world to make the production flawless.The backstage team work was inspirational for me. This Collage of photo is just a small glimpse of what a start to finish looks like. Each shape takes in excess of 3 plus hours to construct (and I thought I had patience when it took me 45mins to do my hair for our costume party).

How to get Adriana Lima or Miranda Kerr Sexy Hair

We’ve reached our Panache and co Salon Day of Education after a long relaxing Sunday. Our challenge today besides the San Diego County Fair, The Tigi Classic Transient Length Cut was it. This is a personal favorite not just because it’s flirty but because of the versatility of the cut. If you like to wear your hair in different ways this cut allows you to achieve the sexiest of up styles to the edgiest smooth style looks that are the hot fashion of summer 2013.

Don’t forget if you would like to be a model for Panache’s Core Education Days or have a friend that might like to join, email to www.panachesalon.com (subject model for the Transient Length Cut)

The cuts are Free; it does require a pre consultation to see if your hair is suitable for the cut.

How to get Adriana Lima or Miranda Kerr Sexy Hair

• Start by Spraying in a liberal amount of Tigi Bed head Queen for a Day Thickening Spray all over.
• This product is a firm holding but non sticky hair thickening product. It prevents dryness and make the hair have a shinny appearance
• Round brush dry your hair for volume (straight out from the section you are blow-drying) and transfer to med Velcro rollers to set.
• Dust the rollers with a light mist of Bed Head Masterpiece Shine Hairspray

This hairspray not only adds a great shine but it is humidity resistant and adds body that holds all day. Love this one for beach climate of San Diego

·         After you’ve applied your perfume, and clothing- drop the set turn your head upside down, shake it out and gentle run your fingers through the hair. Flip back up and reposition strays and give your hair a final mist of the Masterpiece Shine Hairspray to your Masterpiece.

The Tousled Hair of Alexa Chung- How you can get the look

The tousle hair crazy and how to get it.

 It starts with a Transient cut from the Tigi Classic collection.

 This Monday and almost every Monday Panache and co Salon has a day of education. This weeks cut is classic, versatile and all around fantastic for those who want to get that undone, easy look. If you would like to be a model for Panache’s Core Education day, email to www.panachesalon.com (subject model for the Transient Cut). 

The cuts are Free; it does require a pre consultation to see if your hair is suitable for the cut. 

The Alexa Chung undone hair how to:

1. shampoo with a hydration shampoo and conditioner, hydration is essential for frizz free hair.  Towel dry the hair well

2. add a ping pong ball size amount of Tigi Catwalk lightweight mousse throughout the hair. 

This is a wonderfully light product with great hold and frizz control. The hair feels natural not crunchy and gives great beach waves to the hair.

Start to dry the hair and when just a bit of moisture is left- take large circle sections and loosely twist into buns around the head (9 med size total). Now continue to dry on low heat and finish drying.

3. Put on your sun block and make up and when you’re done drop the twist buns and shake it loose

4. Next apply Tigi Reborn Hair spray. Love this product it smell like the beach and gives me soft by flexible hold. It does have UV protection and is light to med hold.

Have great fun with this look and if you don’t already have this cut be a model for Panache and co Salon or as your favorite Panache Stylist.

At the Office: Lips and Spring Fever

Lip Scrubs and DriesVan Noten

With the time change it brings a rush of spring fever over me. At the office I’m starting my spring renewal with my lips. Winter has ravaged my poor lips, always peeling, cracked and dry no matter what balm I use. My new weapon against dry lips LipScrubs! Good bye wash cloths and toothbrush, hello Brown Sugar. I came across t he Sara Happ website (fun) it has a section on Devotees- Celebrities like Rachel Zoe, Jennifer Garner and the ever fashionable Olivia Palermo. She is quoted as saying: I am card-carrying beauty junkie and magazine addict. Sara Happ has loved all things "lip" for as long as she can remember.

"I brought my curling iron, blow-dryer and Lip Smackers with me to Girl Scout camp. We slept in tents." She explains. 

With Sara's help my Dries Van Noten Spring 2013 Fuchsia lips will be purr-fect.

At the office : Relax into my week with David Beckham

I had a late start today and I’m still in a haze of packing up the family for the Thanksgiving Sojourn. I of course still have to work.

So here is my “Relax into my Workweek Mantra”

Here’s a little morning video of Mr. Beckham to put a little pep in my step.  

via youtube

Still a morning must, a good strong coffee and possible a cigarette, (even though I gave it up). Then off to the closet for and office outfit. So much to do, the L’Oreal Holiday gift bags are in at Panache and we are pulling décor for the salon. That in itself is an undertaking.

P.S let me know what you thought of the Beckham video
