Tigi's Bedhead and Catwalk at your service!

Philly's best styling team rallied together last week to test their feelings on Tigi, Bedhead and Catwalk. Hair styling is very personal and as stylists we want to know exactly what we are working with and how to give all hair types what is needed to have healthy and STYLED looks.

 The over all grade was A+ for the additional styling lines.

Of course we still work with Pureology, Redken, Devacurl and our namesake line ARS.

A few weeks back, the team and I collaborated with some amazing Philadelphia area retailers and the Philly Inquirer for a fall fashion spread.

(You may have seen it.) It was an amazing day filled with fashion, art, and style — and we were honored (and thrilled) to be included among the styling team! ARS Stylist, Erin Gallagher styled the hair for the shoot and I worked on the makeup.

Last night, the who's who of the Philadelphia fashion and retail scene — as well as Erin, Rachid, and I — came out for a special "Fall Fashion Event" at the Inquirer building in downtown Philadelphia. It was a panel discussion lead by famed Philly.com and Philadelphia Inquirer fashion journalist, Elizabeth Wellington.

Along with me, the pannel was composed of Ellen Shepp (from Joan Shepp) and Ann Gitter (Owner of Knit Wit) representatives from Theory and Alica DiMichele. 

Each of the designers styled the model — Malika Miller — to show a look that best represented their brand's signature style: Ann Gitter worked the theme of the shoot (monochromatic styling) along side the recurring texture trend. Ellen Shepp showed the crowd how to do the athleisure trend right before offering a word of advice. "Play with your look and try different things" she advised the crowd, "And, if at the end [of the getting ready process] you don't feel good leaving your house... don't."

Known for their mastery of minimalism Theory showed off a look combining texture and monochromatic colors while the Alica DiMichele team showed off the art of sexy.

In the world of makeup... It's all about berry colors on the lips this season; warm, cool, and everything in between. I recommend layering up; you can't go wrong with an ombréed lip and don't be afraid to go bold — deep reds are in!

Rachid, Lisa, Charlie, and I met up with the Christian Tipton and his team from Razor's Edge Barbershop for a lesson in a men's hot shave. (It's so important to stay current on the hottest trends and techniques.) Christian's razor sharp percision and undeniable expert-level mastery captivated us from start to finish and we're so excited to bring show you what we've learned. (Check out the gallery below.)

Some think barbering is a lost art and some guys think that only barber shops have good barbers. Not at André Richard Salon in Philadelphia. Starting in fall we will be doing hot shaves for guys. We are sharpening our blades and getting ready. Be on the look out. Meanwhile, here are some guys cuts that  we did this summer. Hope you're staying cool. Book  Online

Rachid went to France early this year to visit an academy where he had intensive training on balayage techniques and serious training in hairstyling. He visiting the academy for a refresher and update on the latest trends. When he returned he organized and facilitated training for the Andre Richard Salon team that zeroed in on how to perfect a look for a persons lifestyle, skin tone and face shape. The advanced balayage techniques zeroed in on the client for their specific needs, face shape, skin tone, hair length and texture. Also cutting to compliment the balayage placement and of course the clients face and life style.

Fight frizz before the real humidity sets in! All of our stylists who perform keratin services are certified and experienced. 

 Read More about the product used at: http://www.keratincomplex.com/about/the-science/

 What is keratin ?

Keratin is a protein and the major component in skin, hair and nails; in fact, the hair is mainly comprised of keratin-associated proteins. Keratin acts both as an external protective protein in the cuticle (the outer layers of a hair strand) and as an internal structural protein in the cortex (the inner core of the hair that helps determine its strength). Keratin is depleted when hair is damaged physically, chemically and/or from environmental factors, such as the sun. This keratin loss exposes the hair’s cortex, making it susceptible to additional damage, and causes porous spots to develop—much like potholes in a road. Replenishing lost keratin helps to correct porosity and smooth the hair’s surface. It restores strength and elasticity, giving the hair a more youthful, healthy appearance.

What is unique about Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy?

The innovative technology in our Smoothing Therapy treatments binds keratin to the hair. This process helps prevent humidity from penetrating the hair, thus locking out frizz. In addition, Keratin Complex Color Therapy incorporates this signature keratin technology into the hair-coloring process, which helps to make the hair stronger and smoother as it undergoes a color transformation.

André, Rachid and Stephanie were honored to be a part of a beautiful Mother's Day Fashion spread for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Jumpsuits - whether toe-touching, strapless, or cap

sleeve rompers - are among the most versatile of

this spring's fashions.

Yet despite the slip-on appeal of the all-in-one, we tend to ascribe age limits and height requirements when it comes to deciding who can wear them.

"Jumpsuits aren't appropriate for women over ___ ," or "You need to be at least ___ to pull one off."

Nothing could be further from the truth.
