Top Five Fall Hair Trends!

21 Sep

Summer is over, but that doesn’t mean you have to fall out of style! Let Meleesa The Salon give you the 411 on this year’s Tope Five Fall Hair Styling Trends….

 

1. Woven Braids

Whether piled high or loose and low, braids quite a commotion on the fall catwalk. Giving the traditional braid a modern twist, incorporate a hand woven fishtail technique. Start by spritzing Bumble and Bumble dry shampoo or Does it all spray all over to give workable texture. Then pull hair back and divide into two sections at the nape of the neck. Take a small section of hair from each side, criss cross them over the gathered strands, and add to the opposite side. Continue loosely braiding, then secure with an elastic rubber band.

 

2. DEEP SIDE PARTS

While there was no shortage of center parts on the fall runways, it was the side swept version, artfully accentuated with soft, romantic curls and flapper girl styles that topped our best of list. And the deeper, the better: A side part minimizes a large forehead, plays up pretty eyes, and gives rounder faces the illusion of an oval shape. Which direction you swing toward, however, is entirely up to you.

 

3. Chunky Waves

Before Bedtime, mist just washed, damp hair with bumble and bumble tonic lotion and a volumizing aerosol spray. Then twirl one-inch sections of hair into spiral braids and let them dry overnight. The next day, after hair has completely dried, wrap one-inch sections of hair around a medium flat iron, after spraying each section with the Bumble and Bumble Spray de Mode, alternating the direction each spiral. Let them sit for about thirty seconds or so to heat up thoroughly, then drop the piece of hair and let sit without touching. When you have completed the whole head, shake them out and run your fingers through the hair lightly to get a really nice, loose, ropy wave and it’ll hold all day. Finish with Bumble and Bumble Classic Hairspray or Spray De Mode.

 

4. HEADBANDS

Models were strutting down the runways in fuzzy, feathered halos. To pull off this hair trend, stick with styles with a little padding over plastic topped with classic bows or feathers. Top off this season’s braided woven look, deep side part with a swingy twenties flair, or the soft chunky waves with one of these Blair Waldorf-style headbands.

 

5. SLICKED-BACK STRANDS

There’s no hiding behind your hair with this look! But while this pulled back style puts your face in the spotlight, it’s totally wearable. To get this look at home, use lots of gloss to create a “patent leather texture.” We suggest Bumble and Bumble Shine Spray, defrizz, the new and awesome Gela gel and to finish the Classic Hairspray.

Perfect Bridal Hair and Makeup

13 Aug

Everyone has seen those treacherous wedding photos from the 80’s and 90’s. Big hair, big sleeves, BIG mistake! Weddings are a special event that you want to look back on and enjoy the memories, rather than cringe at the bad hair and makeup you chose.

Many brides make the mistake of not thinking hair and makeup are an important part of getting married, but they will regret that decision in 10 to 15 years! Meleesa the Salon offers many different packages and VIP treatments to not only pamper you on your special day, but to create that timeless, beautiful, and unique look you want.

You want a salon that specializes in weddings and can cater to your needs. Packages have options that can include hair ranging from blowouts to updos, airbrush makeup, airbrush tanning, and permanent or temporary hair extensions to create length!

Our stylists will create an amazing customized look for you by meeting with you in a complimentary consultation to discuss your dream look. Bridal hair and makeup trials are also available so you can see what works and what doesn’t.

Meleesa the Salon is well connected in the Bridal community in Los Angeles and Orange County and can even introduce you to great photographers or dress makers.
