Gila Rut Salon

This weekend I had a great day changing up the look of my guest Penny.

A few weeks ago Penny had expressed that she really wanted more volume and longer hair.

It used to be that I would start sharing timelines of how long it would take to grow and what products could create more volume in the hair.

Not anymore…. I just asked, “when would you like to do this?”

With the Great Lengths Extension System we were able to achieve longer, fuller hair and a beautiful sun-kissed highlighted look in just one day!

See our transformation happen…….

Runway shows and fashion magazines are showing extreme lengths in hair designs and we are surely set to follow these trends into the fall.

Until next time!

Have you ever looked through a magazine and saw a longer hairstyle you absolutely loved, but knew your hair could never look that way? Maybe your hair is either too fine, or not strong enough to get that long?

Well, now you can achieve the most luxurious hair and not have to wait for it to grow! How, you ask? The latest and greatest advance in hair lengthening!

My valued guest Jennifer decided to go for it, so we had a full consultation to discuss her desired look.

We chose the appropriate length and colour and then set the plan in motion. A week later Jennifer would finally get the hair she had always wanted and it would only take a day.

See her transformation….

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

As a 46 year old Salon Owner, wife and mother of a 2.5 year old, I am always striving to look and feel great. I almost feel it is my obligation to look the part, but where do I look for an updated image? I am lucky enough to have a team of amazing make-up artists and stylists that are looking out for my best interest. About every 6 months I get a gentle (or not so gentle) nudge that it is time for an image update.

I have also found my inspiration from an outside influence. ~ Where, you ask? An un-likely source J-Lo. Yes, Jennifer Lopez. I admit it, I watch American Idol every week. Two reasons: one, I do like to watch the upcoming musical talent. Two, I LOVE to see what Jennifer will be wearing and even better, how her hair and make up will be … 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,
Karla
