NYFW: Fall 2013 Hair Trends

The Fall 2013 New York Fashion Week brought many inspiring looks ranging from soft and romantic at Kate Spade, to straight and textured at Tracy Reese. My favorite looks, not only can be easily translated from high fashion to real life, but are very DIY friendly. Each look is perfect for the day to day wear, date night, or for the busy ladies on the run that need a look to take you from the office to a night out with zero stress.

The Edgy Chignon: Rag & Bone

This season, the side part remains a heavy favorite. In combination with the textured chignon this up-do is a perfect mix of masculine and feminine that can be dressed up or down with ease. It is a great day to night option for the girl on the go or for a night out with the girls.

The Beachy Half-do: Rodarte

This is my favorite look for 2013. Inspired by the California beaches, this wavy, undone texture is perfect for day to day wear.  If a spring curling iron isn't your forte a curling wand is an easy alternative get the loose curl without any major skill required. For an everyday look skip the rosette and do an inside-out french braid to dress up the textured loose waves for a fun, flirty feel while without being too polished.

The Romantic Side Chignon: Tory Burch

Similar to the chignon seen at Rag & Bone, this style is her fancy sister. The waved side part puts a modern twist on the vintage finger wave style while the chignon itself is just a pinned twist at the nape of the neck. It's simple, effortless, beautiful, and will instantly become a date night favorite.

The Straight and Textured Side Part: Tracy Reese

Inspired by the morning after a night out, this look is just screams cool girl chic especially for my girls with short to mid length hair. Luckily for you a long night does not have to be required with the right products at hand. The secret weapon for this look is dry shampoo. It creates volume and texture in one step with out feeling product heavy and who doesn't love extending a blow out for an extra day?

The Voluminous Roller Set: Kate Spade

Big hair was definitely back in Kate Spade's 70's inspired presentation. The large barreled waves with the slightly disheveled texture is great for a weekend away (think poolside in Palm Springs) or in. Set the curls in the morning and have it relax to a big blow out by the end of the weekend. You can tease as  much (left) or as little (top right) as desired. High style with little maintenance.

These looks are easy to do yourself, but if you need any help making your high fashion hair dreams come true come see us at Freddie B. Salon & Spa!

Your Wedding Day... Your Most Important Time to Shine!

     Who doesn't like to shine?  Well, on your wedding day, that's your most important time to shine!

The 2012 wedding season is now in full throttle.  From hairstyles to makeup, Freddie B Salon & Spa is every bride's beauty dream come true!

     This year, and every year, our salon stays current with the newest trends and techniques by hosting photo shoots, fashion shows and tons of educational events for all you forward focused beauty's!

    

This season, wedding hair trends include: chignons of every level, loose waves cascading up or down, and vintage/classical looks.

 Chignons are side sweeping, centered back or top chic.  They allow for tons of creative expression and can go very structured and smoothed to loose and earthy.  To make this your style must-have for your special day, add any type of braid, twist or lacing.

Loose waves are soft, flowy and ethereal and are all the rage for today's bride.  For a glamorous look, sweep the sides up and add your favorite type of braid.  For a more natural and native look, keep it down and add your ideal flower.

Vintage is always a brides sought after style.  If this is what you envision for your big day think up, like Audrey Hepburn or down like Dita Von Teese.  Take it up a notch by adding some pin curls, finger waves or a victory roll! 


 

The 2012 wedding hair trends can be customized to incorporate many of these style elements to create a unique look, especially suited to the bride and her style!

This years wedding makeup ranges from dramatic to natural and everything in between.  There are two really trendy dramatic looks and two very sought after natural looks.

There's the dramatic smokey eye with a soft lip.  Although this season the smokey eye doesn't have to be the traditional black, it can be done with all different color palettes!

The other must have dramatic look is the strong lip shade and vivid eye color.  Many of this years brides are choosing berry and flower inspired shades of lip color to accentuate their look, but they are still keeping a good amount of the focus and attention on the eye.




2012's natural makeup looks are inspired by the bride's unique look.


The unique natural look is tailored to the individual bride, keeping her every day profile but glaming it up slightly.



The vintage look is a soft neutral eye with strong liner; most brides typically pair a striking lip color to complete this look.

The go-to makeup technique this year is... Airbrush!  It's lightweight, flawless, water resistant and provides full coverage for hours.  It's a perfect addition to every bride's beauty dream, and at our salon that's what we love to do!

Every bride has envisioned their special day's look, and at Freddie B Salon & Spa we transform all our brides in to the shining stars they've always dreamed of!
