Gila Rut Salon

Typically when one uses the term “extensions,” we usually associate this term as a means only to lengthen hair.
This is, of course true, but there are so many other options and possibilities that can be achieved.

As a hairstylist, I am always looking for new ways to update and enhance my clients’ images. Long-gone are the days that we have to wait and wait for your hair to grow out to achieve a specific, longer look!

Let’s be realistic; most of us have tried just about everything possible to change-up our hairstyles through the years. Before I was in the industry, I permed, coloured, high-lighted and changed my haircuts almost weekly! Now my main focus is maintaining and preserving my naturally healthy, shiny hair.  Although I still like to experiment with my colour and shape, I now know the best options available for creating amazing looks, but keeping hair … Read More

Another successful trip to NYFW (fashion week) I’ll share the highlights & keep it short & sweet…………
What’s hot this season? Read on…
The clothing have a beautiful classic look with strong linear edges. It seemed most designers were inspired by the minimal. Beautifully hand crafted materials & soft tones of blue, red & gray were the hit this season.
The hair was classic. Ponytails, lopped ballerina buns & romantic curls all polished to perfection with the help of Aveda’s Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener & the hold of the Control Force hairspray.
The Make-Up was fresh & light with deep tones of peach for the cheeks. The lips were glossy with a hint of pink and for the eyes were a light shadow to give a ‘bright eyed’ look.
Stay tuned for your access to the next shows & fashion trends, coming fall of 2011
Besos,

Hola,

I just got back from one of my favorite places, NYC! I am happy to leave the heat & humidity, but it was all worth it, as my journey was the start of a new adventure.

What the “H” am I talking about you ask? Well I was in Hot ass, Humid ass, Manhattan to train for the ‘2010 Fall Fashion’ Week!!!!!

I can hardly hold back my excitement. I wish I had a lot of cool stuff to share with you, but the truth is what I learned would probably not appeal to you, LOL. It might even appear ugly to most people. Let’s not forget that most fashion & hair trends always start that way.

I had the opportunity to learn from Jon Reyman, an amazing stylist & veteran to Fashion week. He will be heading our team for this year’s back stage madness.

New York – The city that never sleeps! My grueling Saturday schedule is over and I’m, catching the red eye to NYC! I have to admit my energy level is low and I’m wondering how I’m going to get inspired… this worry is soon put to rest, a 10 minute walk on the streets of Soho immediately gets my head buzzing and my energy is back! I am surrounded by amazing architecture, style and fashion – this is just what I needed! The Aveda academy is full of inspiration and just being there gets me excited – here’s a little taste of the photo shoot! My model, Lisa Ramos is absolutely gorgeous, she walks in and I snap her up. The hair transformation takes place.
