How to Get These Holiday Hairstyles

Wow, Holiday Hair and here’s How-To! It’s that time of year again. The holiday season is in full swing. From holiday parties to friends gatherings, you want to make sure your image is ‘Wow’, especially for all those photos! From head to toe there is fun to be done! HAIR needs to be hydrated with a protein rich deep conditioning treatment (PK Intense Hydrating Conditioner www.pksalon.com)

• A faux-bob is a fun look for medium to long lengths. Start with hair set with a curling iron, or hot rollers, tight or loose waves/curls. Then clip up a section of hair starting above corners of eye’s and create a horse shoe section. The hair that is left down, lightly tease from the underneath and spray with hairspray. Then roll hair under using your hand as a roller, keeping it loose and pin inside the roll. Then release the top section and tousle the loose hair on top of the rolled section, and pin randomly.

Skin is can be very dehydrated in these cold months as well. A treatment based skincare regimen is imperative to keeping skin healthy hydrated and protected. Starting the season with a basic facial or PK Glycolic treatment will get your skin clean, clear, and Ph balanced. Before makeup goes on, an eye cream and moisturizer with SPF is a must. Other serums and spot treatments can be used as needed. A Primer is the next step to beautiful glowing skin. It acts as a base for your liquid or powder foundation. It also fills in any fine lines and wrinkles, while creating a humidity resistant barrier on your skin for a smooth, silky look without the shine or smudges. Make your day time look party ‘Wow’ in a snap…..add a bright bold lip color to a natural face, or accentuate the eyes by with a fun, jeweled eyeliner. To make the eye ‘pop’, smoke it out with a black or grey liner or shadow then balance the look with a nude lip. Don’t forget your Nails! A perfectly polished manicure and pedicure will make you feel ready for any party! The CND Shellac or Vinylux polish will last a full week on your fingers and toes. Your hands will be wine glass ready, and your toes will be ready for a peep toe pumps! Classic French is always a stylish look and will go with any color in your wardrobe. Bright red with a sparkle is fun and flirty. Or try a metallic like silver or gold for an extra dose of party sparkle. For any party, come get PK Ready!

Gorgeous Looks for the Holidays and Special Occasions

Wow, Holiday Hair and here’s How-To! It’s that time of year again. The holiday season is in full swing. From holiday parties to friends gatherings, you want to make sure your image is ‘Wow’, especially for all those photos! From head to toe there is fun to be done! HAIR needs to be hydrated with a protein rich deep conditioning treatment (PK Intense Hydrating Conditioner www.pksalon.com)

A sprinkle of highlights will add a pop to any color or an all over glossing treatment will make natural color silky and shiny. Making your daytime look party ‘Wow’ can be very simple! There are many quick tricks you can do with just a ponytail.
• Top knots are very sophisticated and regal. Start with a pony up high on your crown. It can be very sleek and smooth or wispy and flyaway for a more whimsical look. Then divide the pony in two sections, spray with hairspray and smooth with hands. You can braid each section loosely, or just twist, then coil each section around the pony and secure with bobby pins. You can do this same technique with a lower ponytail as a starting point.

FROM THE MST ARTISAN, PK'S UNIVERSE "Paul kenneth Salon Gives Back To The Armed Services"

We are so excited to to support ‘Operation Re-Invent’ and support the women that have served our country.  We will provide complete make-overs to these women so that they can join the workforce again. Below is an outline of the project that The Paul Kenneth Salon & Spa will support fully.  We plan to have up to 10 women a month in our salon to council on hair color, makeup, and hair care products.  Our Team looks forward to this substantial impact on our community and give back.

MISSION:

mentoring

Our women will be assigned professional, well-compensated mentors—life

coaches, some successful veterans now civilians—who can give them a solid

base to navigate the bureaucratic maze and reconnect to their new civilian life.

The bond with these mentors will

be deep, up close and personal.

This bond will create a relationship

that is significant to their daily life,

careers and social support.

Our highly trained mentors will be

role models that offer targeted

guidance, support, direction,

evaluation and, when needed,

tough love.

The mentors are invaluable resources to women veterans recently separated

from the service as they take the journey to civilian life. Our mentors’ wisdom

will provide a forward track to building a happy, healthy and productive civilian

and family life.

PATHFINDER:

career development/job placement

We will offer a robust educational and career development/job placement

program specifically developed for

OPERATION reinvent that is as high in

quality as any offered by recruitment/placement and follow-up firms.



First, our women veterans will be assessed for their skills, military

background and experience levels, career goals, and personal inclination

for various types of jobs via a host of career and personality tests such as

Myers-Briggs. We will make sure that these women’s ambitions,

aspirations, and translatable skills are fully explored. Together we will

determine the best path to meet their individual needs.



Next, a clearly defined, individualized action plan is developed. Forexample, the plan may include working towards a college degree.

P

ART II----

PROJECT:

makeover

Our goal is to create a modern

professional image for our women

veterans. New outfit, new look. All

geared to make a great first

impression, to boost morale and

engender confidence. No doubt,

this is the most visible and media

friendly component of

OPERATION

reinvent

. And one that is highly

attractive to both national and local media, which, in turn, shines a spotlight on

the importance of embracing our returning women veterans.

PROJECT:

makeover is unique because we partner national brands and

retailers with local community venues to support and implement the three

elements of the program:



Professional make-up session



Professional hair styling



Clothing, shoes and accessories

How it works. Our relationships with national retailers and name brands

combined with select local venues (beauty salons, branch stores) ensure that

participating sponsors bring their ‘A’ game to make over the women veterans

FROM THE MASTER ARTISAN, PK'S UNIVERSE, "The Amazing, Life Changing, Dr. Lew Comes to Paul Kenneth Salon & Spa"

 'Psy-Cosmetologist' is an excellent resource. Its insightful and thought provoking.  Dr. Lew is leading the way with his idea that 'Specializing' is the differential edge to create a successful future.  My staff is so excited to the next level with these creative concepts. A must read that will change your tomorrow.

Dr. Losoncy has been called 'The motivational psychologist for the beauty profession." In his three decades with Matrix he has inspired tens of thousands of hairdressers throughout the world by bringing motivation, encouragement, people skills, teamwork and excellence within a message of humor and optimism.  His energetic message reveals the deeper, human purpose of hairdressing.  Although Dr. Lew's mission is for the beauty profession, his 25 books have sold over a million copies. He is the co-author of "ON," with Matrix's GM Colin Walsh, and his more recent books include, "if it weren't for you, we could get along." "Salon Psychology," "Early poppers: the secrets of self-starters,"

"Having Dr. Lew come into The Paul kenneth Salon and Spa  has been life changing." says Kathryn Merritt

FROM THE MASTER ARTISAN, PK'S UNIVERSE, The Hottest 'Knot' Look For Long Hair?"

Spring 2013 brings in an easy to do and easy to wear updo.  The Looped Updo is what Salon Owner and Celebrity Stylist see as one of the hottest trends of the season!  With the right products just about any guest can create this look at home.  First a guest needs to have hair that is collar bone length or longer.  So this look is reserved for those with longer hair.  To keep long hair strong and shiny, try Long and Strong by Paul Kenneth Professional along with Spa Md Shampoo and Conditioner.  They add extra strengtheners to help prevent split ends and give long hair lots of body.  Next to create The knotted/Looped Updo, start with dry hair.  Part your hair in the center or into a deep side part, another hot trend for this spring.  Squeeze a small amount of Smoothe by Paul Kenneth Professional, a flexible holding hair groom, into your hands and gently work thru dry hair lightly scrunching with your fingertips as you go.  Although this cream is traditionally used to blow dry wet hair, it also works great to create this new spring 

trend.  You don't need to apply a lot, just enough to add the texture you need to achieve this look.  While the product is still slightly damp, work  hair back into a very low ponytail and secure with a hair band.  Next, form the ponytail into a 

small to medium size loop and wrap part of it around the hair band to conceal it.  Pin loosely into place.  This look is supposed to look a bit undone and imperfect.  For a light hold to keep everything in place and to tuck in loose ends, mist on a few pumps of Flexible Hold Spray.  This spray is easy to work with and gives hair more hold as you layer.

FROM THE MASTER ARTISAN, PK'S UNIVERSE, What Blonde Bombshells Are You?"

 

ROSE GOLD

Taylor (similiar to Blake Lively's warmed-up marigold shade is perfect for transitioning from winter to Spring. Paul Kenneth, Taylors colorist, mixes golden, honey, and apricot hues to create the multidimensional color. He finishes with nearly ivory highlights around the front to brighten her face. Because the lowlights underneath are prone to fading, he recommends frequent conditioning masks, like PK Spa MD, Rich Repair 60-sec Treatment (a favorite among his busy clients).

 

VANILLA BLONDE

If you want to go baby blonde like Michelle (similiar to Michelle Williams), be prepared to make a similarly major commitment. Paul Kenneth recommends touching up roots every three weeks. Ask your colorist for a bright golden hue with pale highlights—and because bleaching the hair this often is damaging, consider keeping your hair short to prevent breakage.

 

BLUSH BLONDE

Even women with very fair skin can pull off blonde hair without appearing washed out—just look at Suzanne (similiar to Emma Stone). The trick is choosing a hue that will add warmth to the cheeks, like this blush blonde. "She has warm tone blonde undertones with flecks of gold highlights all over," Paul Kenneth says. To maintain it, ask for a strawberry toner to use between salon visits. This will fill in the gaps where color has faded and keep hair from looking brassy.

FROM THE MASTER ARTISAN, PK'S UNIVERSE, ''Holiday Hair Ideas Continued"

GO DEEP and DARING

A deep side part makes any style more sophisticated. To make a clean part, apply styling cream to damp hair and, using the pointed end of a rattail comb, draw a part that lines up just beyond the arch of your eyebrow. Blow-dry hair straight, then spritz all over with a bit of shine spray and smooth with your palms. Then twist hair on the top of your head and stick in chop sticks to secure for added affect.

CREATE ROMANTIC CURLS  

Even straight hair can hold these curls. Prep damp hair with volumizer, and blow-dry with a round brush. Next, wrap sections of hair around a medium-barrel curling iron, stopping an inch or two from the roots. Place the curls randomly so they don't look like old-fashioned ringlets.

DO A SLICK TWIST

1. Run a few drops of shine serum through damp hair and blow it straight with a paddle brush.
2. Brush the hair straight back so it's slick against the scalp, then gather it into a low ponytail just above the nape.
3. Tie the ponytail with an elastic and wind it around the base to create a bun.
4. Tuck the ends underneath and hold them with bobby pins.
5. Stick a few more pins into the bun in various spots to secure it.

.

FROM THE MASTER ARTISAN, PK'S UNIVERSE, ''Holiday Hair"

 

 

DRESS UP A LOW PONYTAIL

A ponytail can be fashionable—not merely functional. Here's how:
1.start the french in the middle of the head in back with slightly damp hair, continue down to the nape of the neck, staying close to the neck and wrap to the front of the face with the braid.
2. Tie the braid at the ends of the hair and push downward and pull out slightly to get a bit of a loose look in the braid.

 

 

 

GET SIDESWEPT

You don't always have to play it straight when you have chin-length hair. For an elegant change, start by creating a deep side part, then take a two-inch section of hair at the center of the hairline (where bangs would be) and roll it away from the face around a medium-size hot roller. While that cools, wrap just the ends of the rest of your hair around a half-inch-barrel curling iron so they flick down and a bit outward. Take out the hot roller, guide the front section into a low swept bang leaving a hint of the eye , and mist all over with aerosol hair spray.

 

 

 

GET SUPERMODEL WAVES

To get the look, curl your hair in large sections with a one-inch-barrel curling iron, starting at the middle of the head, leaving the top with a straighter look. That way, the waves will look more natural. When finished, use your fingers instead of a brush to separate the curls.

FROM THE MASTER ARTISAN, PK'S UNIVERSE, ''Thank You and Happy Thanksgiving"

Here in the United States, Thursday we celebrate the annual holiday of Thanksgiving.  A special day we set aside to reflect back on the past year and give thanks for everything we have been blessed with while remembering our past and history.  Because today is a day of thanks, we would like to offer a sincere, “Thank you,” to each and every one of you.

While we have mentioned it several times here on the blog, we always like to re-iterate the point on Thanksgiving Day especially…  we are truly thankful for the incredible opportunity we have to get to work with so many wonderful people, not just here at The Paul Kenneth Salon, but guest that we touch everyday.  Every year we have the opportunity to actually change peoples lives through beauty. This industry is one of the last of the industries that allows us to touch people.  We have had the great opportunity to work with the guest that has their hair growing back from chemo, the children that cut off their hair for 'locks of love', models that are showcased in magazines across the world to Paul McCartney on his tour through Boston. We have been truly blessed at The Paul Kenneth Salon.

So while it may or may not be “Thanksgiving Day” for you as you read this, depending where in the world you are located, I offer you our sincere thanks for all of the interactions we have had over the past year(s), as well as for everything you do to help the millions of guests you touch each and every day to enrich their lives and full potential through the power of beauty.  A very Happy Thanksgiving day to all of you!

FROM 'THE MASTER ARTISAN' PK'S CORNER PRESENTS,The NEW Freshen Up Dry Shampoo''

Here's a new product that you won't want to miss!

Freshen Up is a dry shampoo that boosts body and bounce in second day hairstyles.  

Do you feel like your hair needs washed daily, but doing so is causing your color to fade quickly or drying your ends out?  Dry shampoo is the perfect solution!  Wash and style your hair like normal on day one... then on the second day, spray this aerosol right at the roots and around your hairline, approximately 8-10 inches away.  It will absorb any surface oils without making your hair look powdery, so your hair looks fresh and revitalized!  The scent is great too.  

Benefits of Freshen Up dry shampoo include:

• Save time!  Skip a day of washing and drying your hair
• Revive and refresh a style easily
• No wet or sticky feeling
• Extend your color and blowout for a longer-lasting salon look
• Eliminate any odor with a fresh, clean scent

Like all of Paul Kenneth Salon & Spa Products, this one is made specifically by a well known chemist, so you're getting a unique formulation that was tested by our own master stylists.  It's the perfect solution for fine hair, long hair, hard-to-style hair... anyone who wants to skip a day between washing and styling their hair!
