Even I Tried This Back In The Day
Diesel has some really great campaign adds for their jeans right now. I especially loved this one when I visited their store in S.F. last weekend. Instantly it took me back to when I was 15 and my best friend and I would pull out the ironing board and take turns on each other using an outmoded method to get board straight hair. The end result would add maybe a whole extra inch of length, not to mention we were frying our ends beyond what we had already managed to do with our DIY supplies from the local hair supply store on a weekly basis. Thankfully we now have an endless supply of flatirons made from ceramic, and tourmaline resulting in a safer (not burning our faces)ergonomic way to straighten our hair. So with so many irons to choose from a lot of my clients have asked my opinion on what brand to buy, personally I’m a big fan of the Chi irons, but here’s a list of the Top 10 Flatirons, on the market.
1. Sedu Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline 1 1/2″ Flat Iron (The Bestseller)
2. Chi Original Ceramic 1″ Flat Iron (The Pro)
3. Solia Pink 1″ Tourmaline Ceramic Ionic Flat Iron (Middle name: Versatility..lol)
4. Metropolis Technology T-Iron Tourmaline Ceramic 1″ Flat Iron (The Mac Daddy of Techno)
5. Sedu Revolution Professional Nano Tourmaline 1″ Ionic Styling Iron (The Newbie)
6. T# Tourmaline Wet-to-Dry Flat Iron (1 3/4″) (The Powerhouse)
7. GHD 1″ Ceramic Hair Straightener
8. Ergo Prosleeker Ceramic Mini Flat Iron 1″ (The Sleek Seeker)
9. Hai Convertible 1-1/4″ Ceramic Flat Iron (The Multitasker)
10. Corioliss Tourmaline Ceramic Wet to Dry Flat Iron 1.75″ (Quicksilver)

In Bloom
Winter is a great time to accesorize your hair with a hat, but there are only so many rainy days before you feel like your hat is your new do. I’ve been noticing in almost every new spring catalog the return of the oversized flower. It’s pretty, romantic, and will go perfect with all those spring dresses we can’t wait to wear. The best way to wear this look is with volumized, toussled hair, almost like it fell off a tree and landed right on the front side of your head.
Set the Record Straight
I love getting to work for a salon that is an active promoter of local art and music. I was really excited when my friends and talented members of the band Santiago decided to have their record release show at Daredevils & Queens. The show will include 50 handmade covers by local artists. So if you love vinyl, art and good music then you have no reason not to be there, but if you can’t make it please drop by and check out the art, it will be on display in the salon for two weeks following the show.
The show is free and starts at 6pm on Sat. Jan 19th

Please leave me comments and let me know what you think.
Cheers!
