Rooted from our fascination with the Vampire Diaries, we decided to do a special blog post about the main female characters of the show and the hair styles we love. Plus we've included a few tips and tricks to achieve the looks!

Hair Color 101, Back to Basics

The treatment used for this demo was NutriFuze™, our "Hair Diet" treatment that gives the hair an infusion of nutrients to leave the hair soft, vibrant, and healthy.

Your client was born a brunette but always wondered what it would be like to be a flashy red head. Months later, she has had her fun and is ready to dim down that red light and go back to brunette. Now what?

Fall Hair Color, Plum & Raspberry Tone Formula

Fall Hair Color, Plum & Raspberry Tone

We came across this inventive Multi-Fall hair color on behindthechair.com and just loved it! This rocking dye was created by Kristin Pellegrino, head of Candy Salon in Cherry Hill, NJ. She created a harmonious balance of colors that represent the Fall season with raspberry, grape, tangerine and brown tones. Let's take a look at the formula to achieve this look:

Boca Cosmetics Group’s Boca Academy Excites and Motivates Stylists During Olez® Training Seminar

Boca Cosmetics Group, manufacturer of Olez® and pioneers in the hair industry, recently welcomed Flamingo Beauty Supply, at their state of the art training center, Boca Academy. The education focused company hosted the daylong event which featured hands-on training on Olez’s five unique treatments.  Olez® utilizes groundbreaking technology and the finest natural ingredients to repair, nourish, and improve client’s hair. The product line includes: INCEPTION -Apple Stem Cell Therapy, O2 -Hair & Scalp Detox, Essence of Youth - Hair Anti-Aging, NutriFuze - Hair Diet and Advanced –Smoothing System (Smoke and Toxin Free).

In addition to becoming skilled in product
application, the attendees were instructed on how to communicate key features and benefits of the Olez® line to clients.  These never seen before services enhance salons’ existing offerings. By identifying client’s hair concerns, salon professionals learned how to integrate the products into their existing services menu. One example, O2, which cleanses and detoxifies the hair and scalp through a spa like experience, can be used in conjunction with a color service to enhance the results of the color, a treatment that the company calls “premium color service”, a service that provides greater results.  

Mixing Hair Colors- Fall Red Head

Retouching hair color can be tricky, but not if you have O2 on your side. To achieve this color we simply did an O2 Detox treatment prior to coloring to ensure maximum absorption of color.

If you love this color here's the formula:

1 ounce 6RR Red Crimson

1 ounce 5RV Medium Red Violet2 ounces 20 VolumeMix and apply!


Remember to detox the hair prior to coloring and enjoy the new color!

Why detox? Removes build up, color absorbs better, lasts longer, adds shine and more!
