Costume Inspo for you Hallo-wieners out there!

The Fresh Perspective

Check out our latest photo shoot! This time around we wanted to keep it fresh, green and all things Spring. Shelmerdines Greenhouse was kind enough to let us use their space one beautiful Sunday. The ever so talented Michelle Panting was behind the camera, and our lovely models Ruth, Sarah and Danika were our muse. Take a look through some of our favourites! They’ll be up around the salon within the next week!

What do you want to see more of? We’re always dreaming up new ideas for photo shoot inspiration, and would love to create something based on your interests! Comment or message if you’d like to see anything specific!

Plants make us smile!

One moment in time

This Whitney Houston song has such great lyrics.  I just posted an excerpt of it, but feel free to click on the link to see the video and hear the whole song.  Happy Monday!

"One Moment In Time"**

Each day I live I want to be A day to give The best of me I'm only one But not alone My finest day Is yet unknown

I broke my heart Fought every gain To taste the sweet I face the pain I rise and fall Yet through it all This much remains

I want one moment in time When I'm more than I thought I could be When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the answers are all up to me Give me one moment in time When I'm racing with destiny Then in that one moment of time I will feel I will feel eternity

**an excerpt

Peace

Any of you on Pinterest?  It's another one of the many types of social media applications for your smart phone, lap/desk top, or tablet.  A place where you can place all your visual ideas, conquests, or wishes.  Search one thing, many things, and when you think that you've come up with something new? Nope.  It's been done. At least ten times...

I often wonder what will become of us in ten years?  What new aspect will the media bring upon us then?  What will we do when nothing is new anymore?  What type of services will we be able to use to expose each other with after the days of 'tweeting', 'gramming', and 'liking' are gone?  Will it even ever end??

We were chatting in the staff room a while back and the topic of our convo was how to gain inspiration.  Inspiration for our job specifically.  Hairstyling can be so broad and then yet so specific, and at times I think many stylists can feel like they're doing the same thing over and over again.

I give you Pinterest! Our boards cover all things fashion and beauty related.  If you're feeling like you are in a hair rut or not to sure what your next appointment should be booked for?  Check out Pinterest and see if anything there juggles your creativity.  I guess this is the new way to get inspired.  The internet will always keep us wanting more and finding more.

I love looking at hair and I pay attention to the styling of images.  The hair and styling of the images I've posted inspire me to be more natural and to embrace the beauty that we are born with. (obviously these women are practically models but who cares?...)  These women all possess a natural look that I'm drawn to and thanks to the internet, I will never really need a muse... :)

Peace

the fresh perspective...

Change.  It.  Up. What's new in your life lately?  New car?  New spring kits?  New hair?  It's funny, out of all the people who sit in my chair day in and out, I still get a wee tingle when someone comes in and wants a totally NEW do!  First I get a little nervous, and then immediately excited!  When's the last time you did something completely different?

When's the last time you asked your stylist to suggest something out of the norm for you?  Any of you readers that know me personally know that I love change and love to see the energy that a new hairstyle (cut or color) can give my client.  We have an instagram feed that we post mega changes and 'the daily musings of us' on.  I want to share with you one of my favorite change ups of all...

Our instagram handle is @freshairboutique and if you're looking for some inspiration or motivation check out some of our hair images.  Maybe you'll like something and might want to try...  Don't forget, as long as you're healthy, your hair will grow back.  Change.  It.  Up.  That's the fresh perspective...
