The Mocha Chocolate Brunette Moment: How to get Taylor Swift’s Iconic ‘90s Hair from the Opalite Music Video

Instagram/TaylorSwift

Taylor Swift’s Opalite music video isn’t just a throwback, it’s a full-circle creative moment rooted in spontaneity, nostalgia, and storytelling. As Taylor shared on Instagram, the idea for Opalite “crash landed” into her imagination during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, sparked by a playful comment and a room full of artists she admired. That same effortless, collaborative, very ’90s energy shows up beautifully in her hair.

The result? A rich chocolate mocha brunette , paired with a soft, lived-in cut and styling that feels timeless, cinematic, and unmistakably retro. It is polished without trying too hard and that’s exactly why it works.

Here’s how to recreate the look, from color to cut to styling.

The Color: A True ’90s Chocolate Mocha Brunette

Why This Brunette Feels So Iconic

Taylor’s brunette in Opalite isn’t flat or overly cool. It is warm, dimensional and reflective, the kind of brown that catches the light and looks even better in motion. Think mocha, cocoa, and soft espresso tones blended together for a glossy finish that looks incredible on film and real life.

When you think about Taylor’s description of the video: time-traveling back to the ’90s with friends, creativity, and curiosity leading the way, the hair makes perfect sense. The hair mirrors that energy, it feels intentional but relaxed. Nostalgic but modern. Polished but not overdone.

How We’d Create This Mocha Brunette with Schwarzkopf Professional Hair Color

To achieve this depth and shine, we love working with Schwarzkopf Professional IGORA Royal or IGORA Color10. The key here is a deposit-rich formula that enhances warmth and depth without pushing red.

Schwarzkopf Professional Formula (Always adjust based on starting level and undertone)

For a natural to light brunette base (Level 6–7):

IGORA Royal 6-0 (Natural Dark Blonde / Brown Base)
IGORA Royal 6-63 (Chocolate / Gold Brown)
Optional: Add a small amount of 5-1 (Ash) if the hair pulls warm
Developer: IGORA ROYAL Oil Developer 3% / 10 vol
Mix Ratio: 1:1
Processing: 30–35 minutes

This creates a soft chocolate brunette with just enough mocha warmth to feel rich, glossy and dimensional.

For darker bases (Level 4–5):
Lean more into 5-0 + 5-63 , keeping the developer low so you’re building richness rather than lift.

Pro tip: Finish with a clear or neutral gloss to seal the cuticle and amplify shine. That glassy, reflective finish is key a huge part of what makes this color feel so luxe.

The Cut: Soft ’90s Structure with Movement

The color set the tone, but the cut bring this look to life.

To really capture the Opalite vibe, the haircut needs softness and movement without looking overly layered or “done”.

How to Style It

Prep damp hair with a lightweight blow-dry cream or smoothing lotion, like Balm d’Or by Oribe.
Blow-dry using a medium round brush, focusing on lift at the crown. We love Ergo brushes for this, they smooth the hair cuticle while creating natural volume.
Add soft bends with a 1” curling iron, alternating direction and leaving the ends slightly out.
Break everything up with your fingers and finish with a dry texture spray. Skip anything too heavy or with a strong hold. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray is perfect here!
Finis with a soft shine spray to highlight the richness of the brunette. Davines This is a Shimmering Mist is beautiful for this step!

Think cool girl energy . Not over-styled perfection.

Why This Look Feels So Well Right Now

Taylor described creating Opalite as “a school group project but for adults — and it isn’t mandatory,” filled with new friends, metaphors, and fashion choices. That same ease is exactly why this hair moment resonates.

The chocolate brunette, the soft fringe, the movement — it all feels:

Nostalgic but current
Artistic without trying too hard
Timeless instead of trendy

Final Takeaway: Is the Mocha Chocolate Brunette Right for You?

Taylor Swift’s Opalite hair is more than just a color, it’s a mood. A reminder that some of the best ideas (and the best hair) happen when inspiration strikes when you least expect it.

If you’re craving a brunette refresh that feels rich, confident, and effortlessly iconic, this mocha chocolate moment might be your sign.

Ready to time-travel back to the ’90s with a modern twist? We’d love to create it with you!

A Dream Visit to the Davines Village, Parma, Italy

A Dream Visit to the Davines Village, Parma, Italy

Beauty and sustainability go hand in hand at Salon Le Volume, and that philosophy has created some beautiful business partnerships, like the one with Davines.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our owner to visit the breathtaking Davines Village in Parma, Italy, to take a behind-the-scenes look into how Davines, our trusted haircare partner. Davines combines luxury, innovation, and environmental consciousness into products that truly make a difference-for your hair and the planet.

Immersed in the World of Sustainable Beauty

From the moment she arrived, our owner was surrounded by the magic of eco-friendly haircare and forward-thinking design. The Davines Village is more than a production facility, it's a living example of how beauty can exist in harmony with nature.

Her gracious host, Lorenzo, took her on a tour through the Village's breathtaking koi pond-the heart of the space-lush botanical gardens, and serene greenhouses. Every nook represented the mission at Davines: balancing performance with sustainability. It was both inspiring and humbling to see where our favorite Davines products come into being-a reminder that every product we use in the salon carries a story rooted in care and craftsmanship.

Where Science Meets Artistry 

In the area of production and research, sustainability meets artistry and science. The devotion to details and innovation invested in every formula by Davines once again reaffirmed why we proudly use their products at Salon Le Volume. From nourishing shampoos to hydrating conditioners and styling products, each is designed with the dual focus of healthy, beautiful hair and minimal environmental impact.

A scrumptious meal and espresso at the Village on-site café ended the day — a very good way to reflect on such an inspiring experience.

Untangled Beauty: How to Keep Knots Out of Your Hair and Shine In

Untangled Beauty: How to Keep Knots Out of Your Hair and Shine In

Tangled hair isn’t just a minor inconvenience—it’s a full-blown mood killer. Whether you’re dealing with a few pesky knots or a full-on bird’s nest, tangles can lead to breakage, split ends, and more time than you’d like to spend brushing and smoothing out the knots! At Salon Le Volume, SLV, we believe beautiful hair should be manageable and stress-free. We’re here to give you the lowdown on keeping your strands silky, smooth, and tangle-free. Check out the steps below to learn how to prevent those unwanted tangles!

1. Start With Smart Washing

Your detangling routine actually begins right at the bathroom sink or shower. Avoid piling your hair on top of your head while shampooing as this can cause unnecessary friction and knots to form. Instead, we recommend gently working the shampoo (like Davines MOMO Shampoo ) into your scalp and let the suds cleanse the ends as you rinse.

SLV Stylist Tip: Use a wide-tooth comb in the shower after applying your conditioner. The comb will distribute the product evenly and break up tangles before they form.

2. Start Conditioning Like a Pro

Dry and dehydrated hair is a magnet for tangles to form. Our SLV stylists recommend using a hydrating conditioner (like Davines MOMO Conditioner ) that suits your hair type, and we also recommend to not be shy when applying leave-in treatments (like Davines OI Hair Butter ). We recommend looking for products with ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, or argan oil for long-lasting slip and shine.

SLV Stylist Tip: We offer deep conditioning treatments with K-18 that strengthen your strands and minimize future knots.

3. Ditch the Rough Towel Dry

Rubbing your hair with a regular towel can rough up the cuticle and cause friction.

SLV Stylist Tip: Use a microfiber towel or a soft cotton T-shirt and gently squeeze out the moisture. This method reduces frizz, too!

4. Brush Smarter, Not Harder

Not all hair brushes are created equal. Use a detangling brush (like the Wet Brush ) or wide-tooth comb, and always start from the ends, working your way up. This method will avoid unnecessary breakage. Brushing from root to tip drags knots downward and makes them worse.

SLV Stylist Tip: Keep a mini detangling brush ( Mini Wet Brush ) in your purse or gym bag—your future self will thank you.

5. Protect Your Hair While You Sleep

Tossing and turning at night creates friction, especially if you’re sleeping on cotton pillowcases. Our SLV stylists recommend switching to a silk or satin pillowcase, or wrap your hair in a silk scarf before bed.

SLV Stylist Tip: Loose braids or twists can help contain longer hair and prevent tangles overnight.

Photo Credit: picture obtained from Canva with a paid Canva subscription

6. Style With Tangle Prevention in Mind

Certain hairstyles, like high ponytails or top buns, can actually encourage knots—especially if your hair is fine or curly. Our SLV stylists recommend using styles like loose braids, buns, or twist-outs that allow your hair to rest without tangling.

SLV Stylist Tip: Always, always use a heat protectant (like Davines OI All In One Hair Milk ) when styling with hot tools. Damaged hair equals tangled hair!

7. Add a Brazilian Blowout

If tangle prevention is at the top of your mind, a Brazilian blowout may be a fit for you. A Brazilian blowout is a hair treatment process that one of our SLV stylists performs which will straighten and smooth your hair!

The Brazilian blowout process uses a keratin solution that will protect your hair strands. Since the Brazilian blowout process smooths out the hair strands, this will reduce the friction between the hair strands and the potential for tangles. If you want to learn more about the Brazilian blowout process, you can read our blog What is a Brazilian Blowout?"

Final Thoughts from Our SLV Stylists

Tangles happen, but with the right habits and a little SLV stylist wisdom, they don’t have to be your norm. Prevention is easier and less painful than dealing with the damage later. If you need any personalized product recommendations or a fresh detangling-friendly haircut, our stylists at Salon Le Volume are here to help your hair live its best life—smooth, strong, and stress-free!

Frisco’s Hidden Murals: A Colorful Summer Treasure Hunt

Frisco’s Hidden Murals: A Colorful Summer Treasure Hunt

Join me on a sun-soaked treasure hunt through the heart of Frisco, where art comes alive around every corner. With summer in full swing and the days stretching long and bright, there’s no better time to embark on a creative outdoor adventure. Whether you're flying solo, wrangling little explorers, or gathering your crew, spend the afternoon chasing color, character, and charm as you track down these one-of-a-kind murals sprinkled throughout downtown.

Our adventure kicked off at one of Frisco’s favorite local gems— Didi’s Downtown . From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the vibrant and iconic train mural created by the incredibly talented Patrick Ganino . His bold, colorful work brings life to the walls of downtown Frisco, and once you start spotting them, you’ll find his signature style everywhere— Didi’s Downtown, Nack Theater, Apple Blvd., Lottie Birds, Imagine Park, OliveUs, The Patios at The Rail , and Towers at The Rail are just a few of the spots showcasing his talent.

We strolled and hopped from building to building, discovering new art around every corner of Main Street. Two murals completely stole our hearts: the cheerful “Smile” mural tucked away just off Main Street, and my personal favorite— the “Back to the Future” mural at Imagine Park (total nostalgia moment—yes, I’m an 80’s kid!).

We spent time running through the grassy fields at Imagine Park, relaxing at the picnic tables, and of course, snapping some fun photos inside the big bold “IMAGINE” letters . It was the perfect place to unwind—parents could kick back and relax, while the kids can run around and have a blast. And all the while, you’re surrounded by Ganino’s incredible artwork.

After a morning full of art and adventure, we were starving! So we made our way over to Haystack Burgers and Barley , a local favorite with something for everyone. Between the cool AC , the crave-worthy burgers , and those crispy onion rings , we were in food heaven. And don’t even get me started on the Haystack iced tea —a delicious mix of lemon, pineapple, and orange that’s just what a hot Texas day calls for.

So if you’re looking for a little old-school fun with a creative twist, head downtown! Explore the artistic treasures of Frisco , and wrap it up with a burger you won’t forget.

Where to See Bluebonnets in Frisco This Spring

Spring in Texas is all about bluebonnets, and if you’re like me, you look forward to seeing those vibrant fields of blue every year. There’s just something about driving past a sea of wildflowers that makes you want to pull over and take it all in (or snap a million photos). If you’re looking for a great spot to enjoy the bluebonnets in Frisco, Monarch View Park is the place to go.

WHY MONARCH VIEW PARK?

BEST TIME TO GO

A GREAT SPOT FOR FAMILIES & PHOTOS

GO CHECK IT OUT

Honestly, Texas bluebonnets don’t stick around forever, so take some time to soak it all in while they’re here. And if you stop by Monarch View Park, let me know what you think! I’ll be over at the salon, probably talking about how bluebonnet season makes me want to switch up my hair color (anyone else get that spring refresh itch?).

The Art of Dry Cutting: A Technique for Effortless, Lived-In Hair

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 20:58:07 GMT

The Art of Dry Cutting: A Technique for Effortless, Lived-In Hair

Hair by: @millabellevue

What is Dry Cutting?

Dry cutting is a specialized technique that uses the hair in its natural, dry state as a guide. Unlike wet cutting—hair lies flat and compressed—dry cutting allows for greater precision, making it easier to see how the hair naturally expands, moves, and falls. This method enables highly detailed work, particularly for shaping, texturizing, and weight distribution.

One of the core techniques within dry cutting is the John Sahag Tapering Method , which involves vertically tapering the ends of the hair with shears. This approach follows the natural grain of the client’s hair.

What hair types can it benefit?

Dry cutting is highly versatile and can be used on nearly all hair types and textures. Whether a client has fine, thick, curly, or straight hair, this method allows for customization—certain areas can be softened with tapering or texturizing, while others remain blunt for structure.

Dry cutting requires specialized shears that are sharper than traditional shears, as dry hair tends to dull blades quicker. These scissors are also designed with angles that prevent snagging, ensuring a smooth and effortless cut.

The Transformation: What Clients Love About Dry Cutting

• A Lived-In, Organic Look –

Dry tapered cutting allows the ends to intertwine naturally, creating a shape with longevity.

• Effortless Bounce & Movement –

Clients instantly notice how their hair moves more freely.

Final Thoughts: Another Tool in the Stylist’s Kit

Whether a client receives a dry cut, wet cut, or razor cut, each technique serves a unique purpose. Dry cutting is simply another tool in the hairstylist’s arsenal—one that enhances shape, movement, and the overall hair experience.

After Hours Salon AI Phone Assistant Setup Experience and Recommendations

julianna@salonlevolume.com (Kristina Bynum) — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 13:56:19 GMT

Should You Consider an AI Phone Assistant For Your Small Business?

At Salon Le Volume , we love building relationships with new and existing guests in our vibrant Frisco, TX community . We always strive to answer the phones and speak directly with guests who call during our open hours , but during off hours, we were sending all calls to voicemail and often getting missed calls with no corresponding voicemail.

There is a ton of information on our website about hair care services , insights , methods , and products , and giving people access to hear some of that information verbally during our off-hours could help us achieve an even higher level of customer service and experience.

We all see that everyone is hyping AI and its potential impact on small businesses in all types of ways, but we knew that we would have to experiment with it in order to tell if it was really good enough to be trusted to handle our after-hours calls and add some value over a simple voicemail system.

Contents and Topics - Jump To Topics of Interest

The AI Chat Agents We Tried: My AI Front Desk, Hey Rosie, Curious Thing, IsOn24, and Synthflow AI

At first, we were thinking we would try to get an AI chat client that integrated with our Vagaro hair appointment booking system , so our Google search was centered on finding chat agents that worked with Vagaro. We were searching for things like "AI phone assistant for hair salon that integrates with Vagaro." Unsurprisingly, MANY chat agent providers seem to overstate their ability to integrate with third-party providers like Vagaro. They will state that they work with Vagaro when all they will really do is send a text with a link to your Vagaro booking page (once it's a link, it could be a link to anywhere, so there is no specific "integration" with Vagaro).

Even still, this search did lead us to several good candidates. We looked at My AI Front Desk , Hey Rosie , Curious Thing , IsOn24 , and Synthflow AI We started zeroing in on My AI Front Desk, even though it's not currently showing up on the easy-to-find "top 10 lists" (such as this very well-put-together one that we did enjoy reading). My AI Front Desk has a simple workflow, and we bounced to it after we tried a trial of Curious Thing's "Lucy" chat agent when we couldn't figure out how to get Lucy to ask permission before sending a link to a caller during an interaction (maybe it can do it, but we couldn't figure out how and permission is definitely needed).

Our Journey: The AI Chat Agent Evaluation Process

"Lucy" by Curious Thing: Why We Went Another Direction

Our initial searching and weighing of factors led us to try out "Lucy" by Curious Thing. If you want to check them out on the Curious Thing YouTube channel , they have a good walkthrough of how to do the setup using their online interface, as well as some cool demos of the results, so you can see what to expect.

We got our very own number assigned right away and started doing the setup. They were also on point with setting up a demo/onboarding call to talk through the features and setup, which was very helpful. We did the initial setup and then started calling our demo number and trying it out. We were mostly impressed, but we did notice that it was a little laggy (ANY lagginess is almost unacceptable these days with how good the products have gotten overall), and we also noticed it was mispronouncing the name of our business right up front in the greeting (not cool!).

I'm sure they have settings to change the pronunciation, but it wasn't immediately obvious how to do it. We were brand-new to the process overall, so we were probably a little impatient. What made us move on was a very simple flaw/choice: They did not include an option (at the time of our evaluation) to prompt the caller for permission to send a text message. It just went ahead and texted out a link to book an appointment if someone mentioned appointments or bookings without asking them for permission first. For us this was a no-go, so we moved on...

My AI Front Desk: Our Final Selection

My AI Front Desk (which is what we settled on in the end) was actually the second AI phone assistant we evaluated. Since we were focused a bit on the texting workflow, we were immediately impressed with the straightforward setup interface that showed the texting process and had a clear yes/no option for asking permission before sending a message (we toggled this to yes!).

As we worked through the rest of the setup, we found that all the "little" things we wanted to do had simple and easy solutions. For example, what should you do when a caller says no to receiving a text message with a link to our booking system? A clear answer for us would be to politely ask for some more details and then state that the information will be sent over to a guest services coordinator (which it is doing now!).

We also found a simple/easy location to adjust the pronunciation of certain words and names - for example, the name of our salon. We prefer the French pronunciation of the word "volume," which sounds a bit like "vuhloom," and the popular balayage service also had an unfortunate sounding pronunciation until we adjusted it.

The voice itself needed to sound professional and friendly but also have slight imperfections to make it sound real and relatable so that someone will briefly engage and start the process of sharing information about the service or appointment they are interested in booking. We found the PERFECT one for us, and this wasn't easy - we listened to more than a hundred AI-generated voices across all the platforms mentioned above. Our current greeting is below if you want to give it a listen.

Other AI Phone Assistant Options: Our Impressions

We were pretty happy with what we saw and experienced with My AI Front Desk, but we also knew that there were a lot of options out there. We didn't want to leave any potential performance or impact on the table, so we circled back to some of the other top ranking services.

Hey Rosie

Hey Rosie seems to rank very highly and come up in a lot of the online searches for this type of thing. From our perspective, it seemed like their setup options were only offered at a very high level (see insights and recommendations below). After doing the detailed setup with My Front Desk AI, the thought of just putting our website link in and then "trusting" that Rosie would just know exactly what to do didn't sound good to us.

Dialzara

We looked briefly at Dialzara , which is sometimes ranked at the top of the "best-of" lists for AI phone assistants. The setup looked way too basic (just a single text/input block where you use keywords to signify things like texting workflow or form/information intake workflow. The tool may work very well, but I would need to pay for the onboarding service, since it wasn't super clear how to make it behave as we wanted.

IsOn24

There are two services that we are still very interested in and will be looking at further as we continue to evolve our approach. The service called IsOn24 looks very attractive and talks about something called "latency booster" (attractive because we've already seen a little bit of lag in response time on our current service).

IsOn24 also offers a lot in the way of texting responses, so potential clients can interact with the AI assistant via text message, asking questions and getting responses. We did a trial with them, and it wasn't immediately obvious how to quickly replicate our existing implementation that we spent around 2-3 hours customizing and inputting, so we decided to put this one on the back burner/maybe list to continue evaluating as we have time.

Synthflow

We were also very impressed with the potential of a product called Synthflow, because of all the products we looked at, it seems like their calendar features would actually allow clients to book specific appointments with specific stylists. It could also do a one-way sync with our existing calendars to mostly avoid double bookings. There is a really detailed YouTube video with a walk-through of how to set this up using Synthflow as a provider , and it shows what looks like pretty extensive calendar options that may also suit salons with different providers/stylists having separate calendars .

For now, we have decided not to try to fully book appointments using the AI phone assistant. In our estimation, it will require too much time for the client to want to interact with an AI bot to patiently book the appointment, and most providers out there only give lip service to having a calendar option (at least for the complexity of a hair salon with multiple services and multiple different providers/stylists ) .

Additionally, since Vagaro (our appointment booking system) doesn't have a very open API, it requires a custom implementation to get anything beyond just a one-way (outgoing) sync, which would result in manual steps to get the appointments booked into the Vagaro system to ensure no future conflicts or double bookings.

Is It Too Good to Be True? Industry Recommendations and Insights from a Business Owner's Perspective

One insight we had from what we've observed is that many of the current crop of AI phone assistant products are letting their "business vision" get in the way of what the product really needs in order to function well.

The primary example is that it is clear that they desire to have a VERY simple setup process. They want you to be able to just include a link to your existing business website with product and service descriptions, and then they figure out everything from there with nothing else needed from you. Of course, as a busy business owner, this sounds attractive - the AI is so smart that it will just scan my website and figure out everything that it needs to do and then my implementation is done!

In the end, we found the old adage to still hold that if it seems too good to be true, it is. Some products, such as My AI Front Desk, have an interface with a medium level of complexity, giving you just enough control and influence over the setup to have it behave like you want it to.

Achieve Taylor Swift-Inspired Hair Color

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 23:53:00 GMT

Achieve Taylor Swift's Hair Color

When it comes to iconic beauty, Taylor Swift’s effortlessly chic hair is always a source of inspiration. At Salon Le Volume, we love creating signature looks, and when we were asked for Taylor Swift-inspired hair color, we were thrilled to bring it to life. Here is how we achieved the perfect blend of lowlights, bright highlights, and a soft, natural finish just like Taylor’s stunning locks.

The Vision:

Taylor’s hair is the epitome of timeless elegance. Her multi-dimensional blonde combines depth and brightness for a natural, sunlit effect. To replicate her look, we focused on creating soft lowlights for depth, delicate highlights for brightness, and a seamless blend to achieve that lived-in, natural finish.

The Process:

Step 1: Lowlights for Depth

To add dimension, we incorporated lowlights throughout the hair, creating a neutral, slightly beige tone to mimic Taylor’s natural depth.

Our Schwarzkopf Vibrance Lowlight Formula:

8-11 (20g) + 8-0 (10g) + 8-46 (30g) + 6 volume developer

Step 2: Bright Highlights

Next, we added brightness to the look by carefully placing highlights to frame the face and scatter light throughout the hair. We aimed for a clean, neutral blonde that enhances Taylor’s natural glow.

Our Highlights Formula:

Schwarzkopf BlondMe Premium Lightener 9+ with 6 volume developer

Step 3: Root Melt for a Seamless Blend

To ensure the highlights transitioned beautifully into the base, we used a root melt technique. This step softened the contrast between the lowlights and highlights, creating a natural gradient effect.

Root Schwarzkopf Melt Formula:

8-11 (20g) + 8-0 (10g) + 8-46 (30g) + 6 volume developer

Step 4: Glaze for the Perfect Shine

The final step was glazing the hair for that signature glossy finish. The glaze toned the hair beautifully, enhancing its warm and golden undertones while adding brilliant shine.

Schwarzkopf Vibrance Glaze Formula:

9.5-1 (38g) + 10-4 (2g) + 6 volume developer

The End Result

Stunning Taylor Swift-inspired blonde hair with soft, dimensional lowlights and highlights that seamlessly blend together. The glaze left the hair with a radiant shine and ensured the color stayed fresh and vibrant.

Frisco Through the Eyes of a Hairstylist: A Love Letter to Summer Moon Coffee Co.

Kristina is a hairstylist at Salon Le Volume and is sharing her own personal insights as she has experiences in Frisco, TX.

As a hairstylist in the vibrant city of Frisco, inspiration comes from more than just behind the chair—it’s found in the heartbeat of our community. One of my favorite spots to recharge, reflect, and connect is Summer Moon Coffee Co . , nestled on Legacy Drive.

From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the inviting aroma of their signature wood-fired coffee. But what truly wins my heart each season is their Chestnut Latte , a perfect blend of warmth and sweetness that feels like a cozy hug in a cup. Whether you’re starting your day or savoring a mid-morning pick-me-up, this drink has a way of making everything feel just right.

What makes Summer Moon extra special, though, is the upstairs seating area. Tucked away from the bustling café below, it’s a serene space ideal for meetings, brainstorming, or simply unwinding. The fireplace , surrounded by comfy chairs, adds a touch of coziness that feels worlds away from the fast-paced energy of the behind the scenes work at any hair salon.

As hairstylists, we thrive on creativity and connection, and places like Summer Moon fuel both. Whether it’s a team meeting, a coffee catch-up with a client, or some solo time to plan the week, this café offers more than just great coffee—it’s a little haven in the heart of Frisco.

Next time you’re nearby, stop in, grab a Chestnut Latte, and take a moment to enjoy the warmth of Summer Moon Coffee Co. It’s more than a café—it’s a reminder of the simple joys that make our thirving city so special. Stay tuned for more of my favorite Frisco finds in the next post!

Small Steps, Big Impact: How Our Salon is Reducing Beauty Waste with Green Circle Salons

Small Steps, Big Impact: How Our Salon is Reducing Beauty Waste with Green Circle Salons

In an industry known for beauty and transformation , it’s easy to overlook the waste left behind. Foils, hair clippings, excess color, and product containers often pile up in salons across the world. But at Salon Le Volume, we’re committed to ensuring that beauty doesn’t come at the expense of the environment. That’s why we’re proud to be part of Green Circle Salons , a program dedicated to reducing waste in the beauty industry and promoting sustainable practices.

What is Green Circle Salons?

Green Circle Salons is a certified B Corporation that helps salons repurpose and recycle up to 95% of their beauty waste. From hair clippings to used color tubes, every little bit counts. The initiative transforms what would otherwise end up in a landfill into something new and useful — like hair booms used to clean up oil spills or recycled aluminum for new products.

Every foil, every strand of hair, and every ounce of leftover color represents a step toward a cleaner, greener future.

Why It Matters

The beauty industry produces a significant amount of waste each year. Traditional salon practices often result in unnecessary waste, but thanks to Green Circle Salons, the material that can be recycled are collected, separated, and sent to specialized recycling facilities where they are transformed into something new.

Our Commitment to the Frisco, Texas Community

While global change is important, we believe in starting with our own Frisco, Texas community . By reducing our waste, we’re helping to create a cleaner, healthier environment for our neighbors, clients, and team. Each client who sits in our chair becomes part of this effort — simply by choosing a salon that is making an effort and has put processes in place to recycle.

How You Can Support Our Mission

Every time you book an appointment with us , you’re helping support this initiative. If you’re curious about how Green Circle works or have questions about our recycling process, we’re always happy to chat . We believe that awareness leads to action, and together, we can create lasting change.

At Salon Le Volume, we’re striving to make a difference one piece at a time. Small steps matter. Together, we can redefine what it means to be beautiful — inside, outside, and all around us.

The Ultimate Guide to Cowboy Copper Hair Maintenance: Keeping Your Radiant Hue Alive

julianna@salonlevolume.com (Kristina Bynum) — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 18:15:32 GMT

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Cowboy Copper hair. We will deep dive into the world of Cowboy Copper and the art of preserving and maintaining that stunning, fiery hue.

In the world of beauty trends, cowboy copper has galloped into the spotlight. If you're new to the topic you might be asking what makes the difference between Copper hair and Cowboy Copper hair. True copper hair is often associated with vibrant, fiery hues that lean towards orange or red. Cowboy copper is a rich, dimensional hue that combs earthy warm natural brown hues with a sun-kissed orange edge. Some say that cowboy copper evokes the charm of the open range and that it isn't just a color - it's a vibe. Think burnt sienna or warm terracotta.

Look at the difference between the two shades (picture taken at Salon Le Volume after we applied the formula shown below to the color swatch hair).

Now let's get a little technical! Cowboy copper can be achieved on any shade of hair, whether you are blonde, brunette or a natural red. To achieve the cowboy copper color shown above, we started with a natural level 9 blonde hair swatch. We used one of our favorite Schwarzkopf Cowboy Copper Formulas : Igora Royal 8-77 (20g) + 7-57 (10g) + 7-65 (10g) with 20 volume developer for 35min. If you're interested to achieve your own Cowboy Copper look, come visit us in our secluded and convenient location right off of Legacy Drive in Frisco!

Essential Maintenance Tips:

Copper hair, with its rich and warm undertones , is a striking choice that exudes confidence and elegance. However, maintaining this unique shade requires diligence and a tailored approach to hair care . The vibrant red and orange tones demand specific attention to ensure they remain as captivating as the day you walked out of the salon. Whether you've recently embraced this bold color or are a long-time copper enthusiast, these tips will help you keep your hair looking vibrant and lustrous.

1. Consult with your hair colorist to come up with a personalized maintenance and service plan : Different hair types and conditions will likely need specific and tailored service and maintenance plans . You and your stylist may decide on some at-home mask treatments or even some periodic in-salon hair treatments that allow you to have a professional apply the best and latest technology while you also enjoy a luxurious escape from the day. You can also set plans and expectations for root-touch-up due to natural hair growth and recolor/redepositing to keep your color looking bold and vibrant - this timeline is typically in the range of 6-12 weeks for permanent color and 4-8 weeks if using a hair gloss service to achieve your look.

2. Specially Formulated Shampoo and Conditioning Products: Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners designed for color-treated hair to prevent the premature fading of your radiant copper shade. At Salon Le Volume we recommend Beautiful Color by Oribe or Davines Alchemic Copper shampoo and conditioner .

3. Washing Techniques: Using a gentle color-safe shampoo and conditioner is critical, and it is generally also recommended to regulate the frequency of hair washing ( generally 2-3 times per week ) even for permanent hair coloring techniques. Permanent hair color doesn't "wash out" like Demi-Permanant hair coloring, but it can fade over time if your hair care routine doesn't consider the specific needs of permanently colored hair. In addition to regulating frequency, you should also use lukewarm water since hot water can strip the natural oils from your hair and lead to premature color fading.

4. UV Protection: If you spend time outdoors then you will also want to s hield your hair from harmful UV rays, as they can cause the copper pigments to dull and lose their radiance. Incorporate UV-protective hair products and stylish hats into your routine, especially during prolonged sun exposure . We recommend using Oi Milk spray by Davines or Invisible Defense by Oribe.

5. Turn down the Heat: Minimize the use of heat styling tools and always apply a protective serum like Hair Alchemy Fortifying Treatment Serum by Oribe or spray like Melu Hair Shield by Davines before using them. Excessive heat can damage your hair and accelerate color fading.

6. Color-Enhancing Treatments: Integrate color-depositing conditioners or masks into your hair care routine to rejuvenate and intensify the copper tones between salon visits. These treatments can help revive the brilliance of your hair color, adding an extra level of richness and depth. Davines has a great option for a shampoo, conditioner or mask in Alchemic Copper or Alchemic Red that have color-enhancing elements to their products.

Caring for your captivating copper hair is a commitment that pays off in the form of head-turning, gorgeous locks. By following these maintenance tips, you can ensure your vibrant copper shade remains the talk of the town. Embrace the glow and vibrancy of your hair and let your copper mane shine with unmatched radiance and allure.

Whether you are channeling Western vibes or simply wanting a flattering, on -trend color, cowboy copper might just be your next go-to shade. We also offer high quality hair extensions that can be color matched to new color explorations like Cowboy Copper. Are you ready to saddle up for this trend? Let us help bring your cowboy copper hair dreams to life!

Achieving a Lived-In Ombré Look: A Colorist's Step-by-Step Breakdown

Achieving a Lived-In Ombré Look: A Colorist's Step-by-Step Breakdown

Transforming hair can be a rewarding process, especially when the results leave the guest glowing with confidence. Recently, we had the pleasure of creating a stunning, lived-in ombré look for a guest who wanted to refresh her style while keeping her hair healthy and dimensional. Here’s a detailed look at how our colorist achieved her beautiful transformation.

Step 1: The Pre-Color Cut
Before diving into the color process, we started with a dry cut , removing 4 inches of length. Since the guest wanted to cut off a total of 7 inches, this initial cut allowed us to save both time and product during the color application.

Step 2: Preparing the Hair

Healthy hair is the foundation of any beautiful color. We began the service with the K-18 Molecular Repair Mist , a game-changer for preventing damage during the bleaching process. This step helps ensure the hair stays strong and healthy throughout the service.

Step 3: Applying the Color

The guest requested a modern twist on the classic ombré look—a more lived-in style with subtle dimension at the ends.

Here’s how we achieved it:

• Bricklay Foil Pattern:

Using a bricklay technique and Schwarzkopf BlondMe lightner, we alternated between thicker weaves and a few slices to ensure maximum coverage while maintaining a soft, blended effect.

• Teasing for a Seamless Blend:

To enhance the natural transition between shades, we teased sections of hair before foiling.

• Tip-Outs for Dimension:

After every few foils, we went back to the unfoiled sections, weaving and teasing them for tip-outs. This step ensured no strand was left untouched, resulting in a dimensional, blended finish.

Step 4: Processing and Toning
Once the foils were processed, it was time to refine and enhance the color:

• Root Melt:

We applied an equal mix of Schwarzkopf Vibrance 5-0 and 6-0 at the roots, blending it through the midshaft for a soft, natural gradient.

• Global Toner:

For the lengths, we used a custom blend of Schwarzkopf Vibrance 9-0, 9-5,4, and 9-65 to create a balanced, luminous tone with warmth and richness.

Step 5: The Final Cut and Style
To complete her look, we removed an additional 3 inches, giving her a total of 7 inches off. We then added long layers and face-framing pieces to enhance movement and frame her features beautifully.

The Result
The final look was a stunning, lived-in ombré with soft dimension and natural movement. By combining precise cutting techniques with a tailored color process , we achieved a style that feels fresh, modern, and effortlessly chic.

If you’re considering a transformation like this, let’s chat about how we can create a look tailored specifically to you. Head turning hair results is just an appointment away! Schedule your consultation with the expert hair stylists at Salon Le Volume .

Game Day Glam: Hair Inspiration for Frisco Texas Legends Fans

Fri, 08 Nov 2024 16:55:33 GMT

As Frisco’s very own Texas Legends kicks off the season, it’s time to celebrate with styles that look great on and off the field. Whether you’re cheering in the stands at Comerica Center or streaming the game, here are some hair ideas to get game-day ready!

Effortless Waves for a Casual Vibe

Channel laid-back game-day vibes with effortless beach waves. This look is perfect for indoor events, easy to style, and holds up well throughout the day. For a hint of team spirit, consider adding a temporary splash of blue or orange with colored hair spray!

How-To Achieve this look:

• Start with a heat protectant and use a curling iron for loose waves.

• Finish with a texture spray to keep the waves looking natural and tousled.

Here are some products we recommend for this look:

Game-Day Braids: Sporty and Practical

Braids are a great way to keep hair out of your face while cheering on Texas Legends. Try a single French braid down the center, double Dutch braids, or a boho-inspired fishtail. Braids are easy to maintain and can handle a day of excitement without falling flat.

Pro Tip:

• Add some hair accessories in Texas Legends colors—think blue, white and orange hair ties or clips! (Check out the Amazon links below!)

Sleek Ponytail for an Active Look

If you’re heading to an energetic, packed game day, keep it simple with a sleek, high ponytail. It’s low-maintenance, stylish, and perfect for an all-day outing. A slick ponytail pairs well with both casual and sporty outfits, letting you transition easily to a post-game celebration.

We recommend this product for your sleek look:

Updos for the Ultimate Fan

If you want to stand out, try a messy bun with a pop of blue or orange. It’s comfortable and keeps you cool during warmer days at the stadium. Add a temporary blue or orange clip-in extension for a little extra flair, or rock some hair glitter for a festive touch!

Navigating the Gray: Choosing Between Full Coverage and Blending

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 23:18:30 GMT

Discovering silver strands in your hair often starts a personal journey. Whether you’re ready to embrace the beauty of natural gray or prefer to color it, we’re here to assist you at Salon Le Volume .

When you begin to see some gray in your hair, deciding between full coverage and blending can be a crucial step. In this blog post, we'll explore when each approach might be the right fit, helping you make an informed decision that aligns with your lifestyle and preferences.

Gray Full Coverage: Benefits of the Bold Transformation

When we talk about “gray full coverage,” we’re referring to covering 100% of the gray with an all-over, one-dimensional color application. This technique usually requires an appointment every four to six weeks to maintain its appearance as new growth comes in.

Bold and drastic transformation - Choosing gray full coverage provides a uniform, intense color change that hides all traces of silver.
Consistent and even color - If you prefer an even hair color without variations, full coverage ensures that each and every strand is the same shade.
Complete concealment - Gray full coverage is often the preferred choice for those who desire to completely conceal gray hair and maintain a youthful appearance.
Artistic expression - If you view your hair as a canvas, gray full coverage can empower you to experiment with bold fashion statements in a wide range of shades. Full coverage color allows for creative, impactful looks.
Quick transition from gray - If you’re transitioning from mostly gray hair to a colored look, gray full coverage provides a swift and comprehensive change.

Gray Blending: Benefits of the Natural Transition

Rather than applying all-over color, gray blending is a technique that involves highlights, lowlights, babylights, balayage, or a combination of these methods to create a unique color. Your stylist will select multiple shades of hair color and blend them with your natural gray for a gradual, natural-looking transition. Instead of the gray being fully covered, it is incorporated into the color pattern for a softer and lower-maintenance look. Gray blending can be a stop on the way to an all-gray look, or you can continue to maintain its appearance over time.

Natural transition - Those who prefer a more natural and gradual transition from gray to colored hair often opt for gray blending, as it allows you to maintain some of your natural gray while adding subtle tones.
Low-maintenance - If you desire a hairstyle that doesn’t require much maintenance or frequent touch-ups, gray blending may be more suitable for you because regrowth won’t be as noticeable.
Subtle look - Looking for a soft, understated appearance? Choosing gray blending means having a gentler contrast between your natural gray and the colored sections of your hair.
Age-positive approach - Many people choose to embrace their natural gray hair as a symbol of wisdom and experience. Gray blending can be a way to celebrate and highlight the natural beauty of aging.
Less expensive - If cost is a factor for you, gray blending tends to be more budget-friendly than gray full coverage. It typically requires less frequent salon visits and, therefore, is usually less expensive.

Gray Blending: It's A Great Option for Men Too!

Gray blending is an excellent option for men looking to embrace their natural grays while maintaining a polished, youthful look. Unlike full gray coverage, gray blending softens and diffuses the appearance of gray hair, creating a more natural and subtle transition. This technique involves adding lowlights or adjusting the tones to seamlessly blend grays with the existing color, offering a sophisticated, low maintenance solution. It's perfect for men who want to keep some of their silver without committing to frequent touch-ups, allowing for a refined style that works with, rather than against, the natural aging process.

Which Choice Is Right for Me?

Ultimately, the choice between gray full coverage and gray blending depends on your desired aesthetic, personal style, and maintenance preferences. There’s no right or wrong choice as you embark on your journey toward embracing the gray or coloring it–and you can also change your mind at any time! Whether you opt for the bold transformation of full coverage or the natural elegance of blending, the decision is uniquely yours. Make the choice that resonates with you, and allow your gray to shine in its own distinctive way.

Not sure which option is most suitable for you, or want to discuss your options? Schedule a consultation with the expert stylists at Salon Le Volume . We’ll talk about your desired outcome, expectations, and hair history to help you determine the best approach.

Embracing the Journey to Natural Gray Hair

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 19:43:24 GMT

Our hair color will inevitably change as we grow older, and each of us gets to decide how we’d like to navigate that journey. Many choose the natural route and forgo salon services altogether, letting their natural silver shine through. Others prefer to color their hair, add highlights, or blend the gray with their existing color. All of these choices are valid and beautiful, and we can help you achieve the look you desire here at Salon Le Volume .

This blog post is intended for those of you who have mostly or entirely gray hair. If you’re at the point where you’re starting to notice your first grays and are curious about your options, click here - we have another blog post just for you .

Whether you’re seeking a way to make the gray more uniform or prefer to color it, we’ve got you covered! Read on to learn about what it means to go full gray, how to enhance your natural hair color, and the products that can support you along the way.

Benefits of Going Full Gray

At Salon Le Volume, our vision is to help you reflect your inner beauty on the outside. We’re passionate about helping you feel confident that you’re the best version of yourself in this moment–even if that means you want to forget about color services and visit us less frequently!

Gray hair is often associated with wisdom, experience, and self-acceptance. By choosing to go full gray, you can embody these qualities and usher in a new era of your life.

Having fully gray hair means you can choose to decrease or skip the salon visits and color treatments. It can be possible to achieve beautiful gray hair without any maintenance or salon appointments!

Embracing gray hair can also be a way to welcome timeless beauty and a sense of self-expression. When you transition to gray hair, you’re not just changing your hair color - you’re taking a journey toward accepting yourself as you are and appreciating all that you have to offer the world.

Below, take a look at one of the recent transformations we had the pleasure of providing at our salon. We completed a full head of baby highlights twice on her hair to lighten her natural hair color enough to mix well with her grays. We then did a shadow root and glazed her hair with a silver toner. The results came out beautifully, and we love the dimensionality!

Achieving Gorgeous Gray Hair: The Salon Le Volume Process

Our expert stylists will start by conducting a thorough consultation to understand your hair history, desired outcome, and expectations. We’ll discuss the transition process and the approach we would need to take to achieve your desired results. You’ll learn about the maintenance required to keep your style looking fresh, and we’ll also address any concerns or questions you may have.

Depending on your current hair color and texture, we’ll determine the best approach to transition to gray.

One option is to gradually lighten your hair to reveal the natural gray strands. Another is to blend your natural gray with your existing color. We can also use advanced color techniques and high-quality hair coloring products to achieve your desired shade. A few color treatment options include root melting, highlighting your natural hair, and toning your hair.

No matter the plan we develop, our goal is to create a beautiful, natural-looking result that complements your skin tone and enhances your features.

Maintaining Gray Hair

In general, transitioning to gray requires a new approach to care and maintenance. Investing in high-quality home haircare products can be just as vital as visiting the salon to achieve your desired color results. Below, discover a few products we highly recommend for gray hair:

Image Sources: Oribe/Amazon and Davines/Amazon

Oribe Bright Blonde Shampoo for Beautiful Color - This shampoo illuminates blonde and silver hair, brightening natural highlights and correcting brassiness. It’s perfect for those who want their hair to be shinier and healthier.
Oribe Silverati Shampoo - This product is specially formulated for gray and white strands and helps your hair look brighter and more vibrant. It eliminates dullness and yellow tones, protects and strengthens the hair, and makes it feel softer to the touch.

Salon Hair Products Simplified: Protect, Style, Finish

julianna@salonlevolume.com (Kristina Bynum) — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 13:45:53 GMT

Welcome to Salon Le Volume, where we turn hair dreams into reality! We understand that the world of hair products can feel like a maze, with rows upon rows of options that leave you wondering, "Which one is right for me?"

Whether you’re a hair care newbie or a seasoned pro, it can be overwhelming to figure out exactly what your hair needs. But fear not—we’re here to simplify your journey. By focusing on three essential steps—Protect, Style, and Finish—we’ll guide you through the basics with our top three products that we absolutely love and highly recommend.

Ready to unlock the secret to salon-perfect hair? Today, we’re highlighting three of our favorite Oribe products that do just that– Protect, Style, and Finish!

Protecting Your Hair

The first step to beautiful hair is protection. Whether you’re combating UV rays or the heat from your styling tools, safeguarding your hair is essential. Our go-to product for this is the Oribe Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray .

This miracle in a bottle not only shields your hair from the sun and thermal damage but also adds a gorgeous shine. Shoutout to my thick-haired girls; you’ll love how it cuts down on drying time. Consider this your first line of defense for keeping your locks healthy and radiant.

Style with Confidence

Once your hair is protected, it’s time to style. We recommend the Oribe Gel Serum , a staple in our salon. This product is as transformative as it is effective. It starts as a gel that you work through your damp hair. Then, as you apply heat, it magically turns into a silky serum. The result? A radiant finish that holds your style in place. It’s perfect for adding shine and ensuring your hair stays exactly how you want it, no matter the occasion.

Why Our Salon Loves, Uses, and Recommends Davines Hair Care Products

julianna@salonlevolume.com (Kristina Bynum) — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 12:23:13 GMT

Have Some Hair Troubles? Looking For a New Hair Care Line But Don't Know Where to Start? Keep Reading!

Are you having some trouble with your hair? Looking for a clean hair care line that can help you fix hair dryness, add moisture and volume, help with oil control, and isn't harmful to the environment? Well, look no further!

How Do I Choose the Right Hair Care Product for Me?

It can be a little overwhelming to try to figure out which products to use for your hair since there are so many options out there. We carry a hair care line here at Salon Le Volume called Davines. One of the reasons why we like this brand so much is because their products can be used on any hair type. Whether you have thick hair, thin hair, wavy hair, straight hair, or curly hair, Davines professional products will be great for any hair type! Click the link below to watch the interview with the owner of SLV, Kristina, as she discusses more in depth why we love Davines and our best-selling products .

Clean Hair Care Line, All While Helping the Environment

Another reason why we like Davines so much is because it is a family-oriented company that focuses on sustainability and helping the environment. They are based out of Italy, and they focus on ingredients from local farms. We had the chance to go to Brooklyn, New York where the Davines Style House is, one of their training centers, and were able to get immersed with the company and learn about the brand.

Check out the links below to watch a few of our Instagram Reels on our visit to the Style House!

We also learned about how to be a Green Circle Salon. We now recycle all of our foils, hair clippings, color tubes, and excess color. We separate it all out and then ship it off and it gets recycled, rather than going into the waterways and landfills.

By being a Green Circle Salon, we have saved 81 pounds of waste so far! It’s great for us to be able to make an impact like that on the environment.

Best Selling Products

Davines OI Line is our best seller. A great thing about the OI Line is that the products have Roucou Oil in them which is going to be a UV protectant. This is great because so many of us spend quite a bit of time outdoors, and having sun protection for our hair is a great way to help keep our hair healthy and strong and maintain its color.

We sell a lot of the OI shampoo and conditioner because it’s not only great for all hair types, but they also add a lot of moisture and shine to your hair which a lot of us struggle with. You can use these products every day or as often as you would like.

Another best-selling item from this line is the OI All In One Milk. It’s a great detangler and is also anti-aging, so it’s going to repair your hair.

Another popular product is the SOLU Shampoo. It’s a clarifying shampoo and we use a lot of this at our salon. It's great for clients who use a lot of hair products. It’s also great for us to use on clients if we are doing a coloring service and need to get rid of any buildup. Our clients love this product for this as well.

Overall

In addition to some of our best-selling products we mentioned above, we have more Davines products we sell at the salon that are just as great. Davines is a clean, environmentally friendly, professional hair care line that works for all hair types.

5 Steps to Refresh Your Hair Between Washes

julianna@salonlevolume.com (Kristina Bynum) — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 17:16:10 GMT

Today’s blog post is all about refreshing your hair on day two or three after shampooing. You’ll learn exactly how to protect and style your hair for a fresh, healthy look.

You can also check out the full informational video as well!

Step 1: Blow-Dry

For this step, we recommend using the Oribe Mystify Restyling Spray. We love that this spray reactivates the products that are already in your hair while also providing heat protection. Plus, it contains ingredients to nourish and strengthen your hair, which is great if you frequently restyle it between washes.

Image source: Oribe/Amazon

Start by lightly spraying the areas that you plan to restyle. You can apply this product to the entirety of your hair or focus on specific areas, like your bangs, before blow-drying with a round brush and concentrator nozzle attachment. This provides lots of shine and refreshes the look of your hair.

Step 2: Use Dry Shampoo

Next, you’ll need dry shampoo - our favorite is the Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo. This product instantly absorbs excess oil from your hair and scalp, giving it the appearance of being freshly washed even days after your last shampoo. It can help maintain the vibrancy of your color and the overall health of your hair .

Image source: Oribe/Amazon

Pro Tip: You don’t have to wait until day two or three after shampooing to use dry shampoo! You can also use it on day-one hair to absorb oil as it’s produced.

Simply lift sections of your hair and spray the product underneath, aiming at the roots. This will freshen up the look of your root area and absorb any excess oil.

Step 3: Apply Heat Protectant

Before restyling with heat, we like to use the Oribe Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray. This provides the ultimate heat styling protection–up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit! It also functions as a dry conditioning spray, leaving your hair silky soft and frizz-free with its smoothing and revitalizing ingredients.

Image source: Oribe/Amazon

Just like with the dry shampoo, lift your hair and spray the product throughout.

Step 4: Create Beachy Waves

Now that we’ve fully prepped our hair, it’s time to style it into soft, beachy waves using the 1¼” Bio Ionic Long Barrel Styler. This is a high-quality professional curling iron with a long barrel that’s great for getting even coverage on long hair. It has Nanolonic MX technology that helps seal the cuticle, lock in moisture, create long-lasting curls, and add shine.

Image source: Bio Ionic/Amazon

For loose curls, we recommend alternating between curling sections toward and away from your face. This makes the style look softer and more natural.

Pro Tip: When curling a section of hair, start by leaving some of the ends out and then work your way up toward the scalp, wrapping the hair around the barrel of the curling iron. Hold for several seconds, and then twist the hair as you slowly release it.

The size of your sections will depend on the thickness of your hair, but each section should generally be around one to two inches. Divide your hair in half, placing each half over one shoulder. Start curling pieces at the back of one side and work your way forward, toward your face.

After you curl one section of hair, the next section should go in the opposite direction. If you curled the first section away from your face, curl the next section toward your face.

Once you reach the last section (the one closest to your face), curl it toward the back of your head for a face-framing look. Then, repeat the process on the second side.

Step 5: Complete the Look

It’s important to let your hair fully cool to set the curls. Avoid touching your hair while it’s still warm from the curling iron!

While your hair is cooling off, you can use a finishing spray - we love the Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray. It’s lightweight, gives your hair a nice shine, and keeps it from growing and getting frizzy in humid weather.

Image source: Oribe/Amazon

Spray it throughout your hair, being careful not to touch the curls yet.

Once your hair is completely cooled off, gently rake through it with your fingers to break up the curls. This will give your hair a nice tousled appearance with the curls flowing back and forth, so the hair isn’t all going in one direction.

And voila - in just five short steps, you’ve got a relaxed, beachy look that’s perfect for second- to third-day hair!

MAINTAINING YOUR HAIR COLOR

Thu, 02 May 2024 17:34:09 GMT

Keep Your Hair Color Vibrant & Healthy Longer

Use a Professional Color-Safe Shampoo and Conditioner

After having your hair professionally dyed, wait 3 days (72 hours) before shampooing to allow your hair to seal in the color and slow down the loss of hue. When it's time to shampoo, it's very important to choose products specifically formulated for color-treated hair to prevent fading. Oribe has a great color protecting line called Beautiful Color . Products from this line is a take home MUST for our guests to ensure their hair color and investment is being taken care of at home!

How to Wash Your Hair

~Make sure to rinse your dyed hair with cool water to help preserve the vibrancy of your hair color. Hot water can open up the hair cuticle and strip away color and moisture.

~ Limit the frequency of washing: Try to wash your hair less frequently to prevent color from fading too quickly.

~Use a great Dry shampoo like the Davines Hair Refresher to help extend the time between washes. This wonderfully light and hydrating dry shampoo absorbs the excess sebum (the natural oils produced in hair follicles), and gives immediate body to the hair.

Protect from UV Rays

Just as you protect your skin with sun lotion to guard against the harmful rays, Sun Exposure can cause Hair Color result to Fade. Here are some tips for reducing the effects of the sun on your dyed hair.

Protect your hair with a hat or cute scarf.
Utilize products containing UV filters when spending time outdoors like Oribe Invisible Defense which adds light moisture without weighing down your hair.
Deep condition regularly: Treat your hair to deep conditioning treatments to keep it moisturized and healthy, which helps prolong the life of your color.
Use a mask like Davines Oi Hair Butter , which provides beneficial antioxidants for the ultimate nourishment of your hair, creating a soft bright look.

Avoid Heat Styling

Minimize the use of hot tools like curling irons to avoid excessive heat styling.
Use heat protectant products before styling with any hot tools.

Schedule regular salon visits: Pre-Book your professional color maintenance appointments in advance to help refresh your color and keep it looking vibrant and fresh.

Illuminating the Truth: How Lighting Influences Hair Color Results

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 23:22:19 GMT

How Your Hair Color Looks Depends on Which Light You're In

In the world of hair coloring, achieving the perfect shade is an art form. From vibrant reds to subtle blondes, every hue requires precision and expertise. However, there's a crucial factor that often goes unnoticed but plays a significant role in the final result: lighting.

Photos of Same Hair Taken Minutes Apart with Different Lighting

(Hair by @brushedbeautybyAvery)

Lighting can make or break a hair color transformation , subtly altering the way hues appear and how the overall look is perceived. Let's shed some light on how different lighting conditions can affect hair color results. Because understanding the impact of lighting is essential for both hairstylists and clients alike.

Effect of Various Lighting Conditions on How Your Hair Color Looks

Natural Sunlight :

The gold standard for assessing hair color is natural sunlight. Its full spectrum of light reveals the truest representation of hues, allowing for accurate assessment and adjustment. However, it's essential to consider the time of day and the direction of the sunlight, as these factors can influence how colors appear.

Fluorescent Lighting :

Commonly found in salons, fluorescent lighting can be deceiving when it comes to hair color. Its cool, blue-toned light can wash out warm tones and make colors appear cooler than they actually are.

Incandescent Lighting :

Incandescent lighting emits a warm, yellow-toned glow that can enhance warmth in hair colors. While this can be flattering for certain shades, it may also mask cooler tones, leading to an inaccurate perception of the overall color.

LED Lighting :

Becoming increasingly popular in salons due to its energy efficiency and versatility is LED lighting . However, the color temperature of LED bulbs can vary, impacting how hair colors are perceived. It's crucial to choose LED lighting with a neutral color temperature to achieve the most accurate results.

Ambient Lighting :

Ambient lighting, such as overhead fixtures or decorative lamps, can create a subtle yet significant impact on hair color appearance . Soft, diffused lighting can provide a flattering glow, while harsh, direct lighting may highlight imperfections or create unwanted shadows.

Tips for Optimal Hair Color Results:

- Always assess hair color in multiple lighting conditions to ensure accuracy.

- Educate clients about the influence of lighting on hair color perception.

- Invest in quality lighting fixtures with adjustable settings to create optimal working conditions.

In conclusion, lighting plays a crucial role in how hair color results are perceived. By understanding the influence of different lighting conditions, both hairstylists and clients can achieve the desired outcome with confidence and precision. So, let's illuminate the beauty of every shade and embrace the transformative power of light in the world of hair coloring.

Hair Extension Elegance: A Guide to Proper Care and Maintenance

Fri, 08 Dec 2023 19:51:50 GMT

When it comes to elevating your hairstyle, hair extensions are a game-changer. However, achieving and maintaining that flawless look involves a commitment to proper care. Let's delve into the art of caring for your hair extensions , ensuring they remain a luscious, long-lasting addition to your beauty routine.

Detangle with TLC

Gently does it! Start by combing your extensions with a wide-toothed comb or a specialized extension brush, beginning from the tips and working your way up. This prevents unnecessary stress on the hair and keeps it tangle-free.

Wash with Care
Use a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo to cleanse your extensions. Hold them at the top while washing to prevent tangling. Conditioning is key, focusing on mid-length to the ends. Remember, less is more – avoid overloading with products.

Avoid Heat Overload
While heat styling can transform your extensions, excessive heat can also lead to damage. Use a heat protectant spray before styling, and opt for a lower heat setting on styling tools. Air-drying is a gentle alternative.

Nighttime Rituals
Protect your extensions during your beauty sleep. Tie them into a loose ponytail or braid to prevent tangling. Consider using a silk or satin pillowcase, which minimizes friction and reduces the risk of breakage.

Mindful Styling
Experimenting with different styles is part of the fun, but it's crucial to be mindful. Avoid styles that put excessive stress on the roots, as this can damage both your natural hair and the extensions .

Regular Trims
Yes, even extensions benefit from regular trims. This prevents split ends and keeps the hair looking fresh . Visit a professional stylist experienced in handling extensions for the best results.

Storage Matters
When not in use, store your extensions in a cool, dry place. Consider using the packaging they came in or invest in a breathable storage bag. This protects them from dust and prevents unnecessary tangling.

Protect from Harsh Elements
Just like your natural hair, extensions can be affected by harsh weather conditions. If you're exposing your hair to sun, wind, or salty air, take preventive measures. A hat or a loose braid can be your extensions' best friends.

Professional Check-ins
Schedule regular check-ins with your stylist . They can assess the condition of your extensions, address any concerns, and ensure they are blending seamlessly with your natural hair.

Love and Patience
Last but not least, treat your extensions with love and patience. The care you invest will be reflected in their longevity and how stunningly they enhance your overall look.

Remember, the key to maintaining the beauty of your hair extensions lies in consistent, gentle care. By incorporating these tips into your routine, you're not just caring for extensions – you're investing in a radiant, confident you.

A Guide to Popular Hair Coloring Techniques for Stunning Transformations

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 21:33:05 GMT

The world of hair coloring is a vibrant canvas for self-expression and style. With various techniques available, finding the right one can be both exciting and overwhelming. Understanding the nuances of each method is crucial for achieving your desired look.

Here are some popular techniques and their differences:

Balayage: The Art of Sun-Kissed Highlights

This technique involves hand-painting highlights onto the hair for a natural, sun-kissed look with softer, less noticeable regrowth lines. It involves hand-painting the hair in a way that mimics the way hair naturally lightens in the sun, hair color resulting in a softer, more gradual color transition compared to traditional highlighting methods. Balayage is popular because it requires less maintenance than traditional highlights and can complement various hair lengths and textures.

Foiling: Precision and Definition in Highlights

Foiled highlights is a hair coloring technique that involves coloring sections of hair using foils to separate them from the rest of the hair. This method allows for precise and controlled application of color , resulting in more defined, uniform highlights. Foil highlights are commonly used to create a more dramatic contrast and a uniform pattern of color throughout the hair. This creates strands of color applied throughout the hair to add dimension, brightness, depth, and contrast. Unlike balayage, foil highlights typically create a more structured and defined look.

Ombré and Sombre: The Beauty of Gradual Color Blends

With ombre, the hair is darker at the roots and gradually lightens towards the ends, creating a striking, gradient effect. As for Sombre, this is a softer, more subtle version of ombre, blending the colors more seamlessly for a natural transition.

Color Melting: Seamlessly Blended Multidimensional Tones

Hair color melting is a technique that blends multiple hair colors seamlessly for a smooth, natural, and multidimensional look. It involves using two or more different but complementary shades that gradually transition and "melt" into each other. The colorist applies the chosen colors strategically, ensuring they seamlessly blend together without distinct lines or harsh contrasts. Hair color melting is popular for creating depth and dimension, as well as for achieving a more natural and organic appearance compared to traditional color blocking techniques.

Babylights: Enhancing Texture and Depth

Babylights are delicate, fine highlights that mimic the natural hair color of young children, creating a subtle and soft look.

Root Smudging and Glossing: Perfecting the Finish

Hair root smudging and glossing are two different techniques used in hair coloring to achieve specific effects.

Root Smudging is a technique used to soften the contrast between the hair color and the roots, creating a seamless blend. It involves applying a semi-permanent color or toner to the roots and feathering it down slightly into the rest of the hair for a natural-looking transition. Root smudging is particularly beneficial for those looking to maintain a low-maintenance hair color and disguise any noticeable regrowth.

Glossing, also known as a hair glaze, is a semi-permanent treatment that adds shine and enhances the hair's overall appearance. It involves applying a clear or tinted gloss to the hair, which helps smooth the hair cuticles and create a reflective surface, resulting in a lustrous and healthy-looking finish. Glossing can also be used to refresh and revitalize the existing hair color, add depth and dimension, or neutralize any unwanted tones.

Vivid Hair Color: Bright, Bold, and Intense Color Shades

Vivid hair colors are often non-traditional or unconventional, such as vibrant blues, pinks, purples, greens, and other neon or pastel hues. These colors are often used to create striking, eye-catching hairstyles and can be applied to the entire head or specific sections of the hair for a bold and expressive look. Vivid hair colors often require lightening the hair first to achieve the desired vibrancy and intensity.

Color Correction: When Your Hair Color is less-than Desired

Whether you have experienced a DIY mishap or received a less-than-desired outcome from a salon, it’s crucial to approach a color correction with patience and care. It could involve addressing issues such as overly dark or light hair, unwanted tones, or uneven color distribution. A professional colorist will use specific techniques and products to neutralize, adjust, or change the existing hair color to achieve the desired shade or tone. A color correction service can be a complex process and may require multiple salon visits depending on the severity of the issue.

Understanding the different coloring techniques of hair coloring you will be able to communicate what desired look you are wanting with your stylist. You will be able to confidently ask for exactly what you want and achieve the lustrous locks you’ve been dreaming of!

What is a Brazilian Blowout?

julianna@salonlevolume.com (Kristina Bynum) — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 12:35:03 GMT

Check out our Brazilian Blowout video on our Instagram! Follow us on Instagram @SalonLeVolume.

A Brazilian Blowout is a hair treatment process that your stylist performs which will straighten and smooth your hair . This process utilizes a keratin solution that protects your hair strands, which will then keep the hair strands protected from outside damage. Once the keratin treatment is complete, the stylist will wash your hair and blow it dry. The stylist will also use a flat-iron because the heat from the blow-dry and flat-iron will then seal in the product. The result is smooth and frizz-free hair. For more inspiration on styles to try, check out these Valentine’s Day Hairstyles to Steal the Spotlight.

A Brazilian Blowout is not permanent, but the treatment will typically last around 3 months.

What are some perks to getting a Brazilian Blowout?

The process can be finished in as quick as 80 minutes, and the treatment lasts around 3 months. This treatment is great for all types of hair! There’s also no waiting period to wash your hair, exercise, or even put your hair up in a ponytail after the treatment. If you plan on getting a color service on the same day as a Brazilian Blowout, then the color service should be completed prior to the Brazilian Blowout to help extend the color and lock it in.

Hey Rosie

Incandescent lighting emits a warm, yellow-toned glow that can enhance warmth in hair colors. While this can be flattering for certain shades, it may also mask cooler tones, leading to an inaccurate perception of the overall color.
