Consult a true professional to guarantee the perfect hair color for your skin. Tired of looking at yourself in the mirror trying to figure out whether your skin undertones are pink or peach? Having some difficulty looking at the veins in your arms to determine whether your skin is cool or warm? A pro can take one look at your skin, eye color and natural hair, and tell you what hair colors would complement, rather than exacerbate, your undertones.

Professionals are licensed and trained in the chemistry of hair; science is a determining factor in your color experience.  Just as doctor must be licensed in order to practice.  Would you go to the cleaners for strep throat or ask a doctor for accounting help?

Pictures on the box can equal seeking a color correction. Pictures on hair color boxes can be deceiving; most boxes will call out the color (blonde, brown, black and red) and the shade of that color (light, medium and dark).   These are the colors but depending on your natural color and knowing the science behind color formulation this can be a disastrous situation. Someone with Black hair cannot put a blonde shade on without turning orange.  Professionals know the right processes that must be followed to achieve the desired out come or if it is a possibility. Many times home coloring ends up with undesirable results and the person seeking a professional to fix the unwanted shade or tone. This falls into a color correction. These are extremely costly.

Color corrections fall into four categories too light, too dark, too warm, or too drab.

Color corrections also are very costly and arise from at home coloring or communication gaps of desired results between a professional and yourself.

The science proves certain colors are not attainable  depending on your natural shade.

True: tint does not lift or lighten previously colored hair

True: any time color is mixed with a catalyst it is permanent

Maintain your color with the right shampoo and products.  When making an investment in your hair color following your professional recommendations are a must. Follow the recommended products to enhance the longevity of your investment.

Get it Right the first time by your Professional.  This will be more cost effective and the best investment you make.  Hair is the ONLY accessory you wear everyday.

Concise Oxford Dictionary, image is described as “the character or reputation of a person or thing as generally perceived”. A first impression that is based on non-verbal communication goes a long way in influencing this perception and influences their decisions . Within seconds of someone meeting you, based on a single observed physical trait or behavior,a person will assume to know everything about you (as is explained in the 2003 book Social Psychology by H. Andrew Michener, John D. Delamater, and Daniel J. Myers).

When communicating your PR non-verbal sets the stage for perceptions.  Public relations and building positive successful branding for your self or business is the key to success.  Image consultants build on enhancing your Public Relationship presence and character through a variety of different tools.  Accentuating, Balancing and Camouflaging.

These are the “ABC’s of Image.” for your PR.   Your image is more than your appearance — so much of what you do and say contributes to the impressions you make. An image consultant serves in many ways as a valuable resource for your PR, helping you become more poised and polished, guiding you to your own authentic style, and instilling the sense of success and confidence that comes with knowing that your own Appearance, Behavior and Communication are beyond reproach.  You are your best PR for your, business, home or social life.

Research from Marcial Losada and Barbara Frederickson  supports “Effects of Positive Attitude on Flourishing”.

Research supports:

*It takes 2.9 positive feelings, expressions, or thoughts to counter act 1 negative.

*Frederickson’s broaden-and-build theory based on a 28 day study expresses positive levels greater than 2.9:

*Reflect in positive attitudes

*Directly linked with better repertoires in relationships,

*Flexibility

*Resilience in adversity

*Greater social resources

*Optimal functioning

We feel best when we look in the mirror and like the Image that reflects back at us.  The simplest way to interject is by investing and caring in some thing we wear everyday:  Our hair!  Professional styling diminishes the “bad hair day” affect by gracefully maintaining a shape over the maturity of 4-6 week period.  Costing out a polished Coiffed style and youthful color costs less than daily Starbucks coffee and the benefits are priceless.

“Bad Hair Days“ by Dr. Marianne LaFrance Professor of Psychology and of Women’s and Gender Studies at Yale University analyzes information on how individuals feel during a “bad hair day,” found:

* Individuals’ self-esteem increase self-doubt

*Intensify social insecurities

*Yields self-critical thoughts

The Yale study produced astonishing results:

*Lowers Self-Esteem Regarding Performance,

*Intensifying social insecurities-

Women tend to feel more disgraced, embarrassed, ashamed or self-conscious during a ‘Bad Hair Day’.

Men on the other hand, feel more nervous, less confident and are more inclined to be unsociable.

Specifically, results indicate that a ‘Bad Hair Day’ leads individuals to find more personal character flaws that go beyond their appearance

“Interestingly, both women and men are negatively affected by the phenomenon of bad hair days,” says Professor LaFrance. “Even more fascinating is our finding that individuals perceive their capabilities to be significantly lower than others when experiencing bad hair.”
We wear are hair everyday while an article of clothing range from once a week, twice a month ect…An article of clothing costs out more per month than what you wear everyday.  Your hair, good, bad or indifferent sets the Stage for the day.  Set yours for optimum success!

Feeling good about yourself everyday is a priority and essential to your broadening social skills, increasing your self-esteem and develops a positive attitude, which improves performance.  Investing in feeling good is essential for survival in the world we now live in.  Evidence supports and shows that ‘bad hair’ or mediocre hair causes one to be more negative about one’s self. Attitude changes as a response to communication of the message you see daily and hear for others for example “You look great today, did you do something?” verses “Are you feeling ok?’  Grab your positive attitude daily.  Ask the stylist to show you how to achieve results in styling daily.  Experienced and professional stylists will take the time and energy to ensure your success in maintaining your look.

The positive attitude is a winning tactic you can implement with simply obtaining the perfect style for your face shape, body structure, skin tone and lifestyle.  You’re never too young or old to learn how to look and feel good!
