Corpus Christi Hair Salon Model Exposé – September 2010

Posted on August 31, 2010 by Ginger

The Fall season is just about to start, officially beginning on September 22, 2010.  This is the perfect time to make a change into the Fall colors with a transition color or jump straight into an all new color.

Fall is the time for warm tones and colors.  Butter Cream Blonde and Honey Blonde are excellent transition choices for a subtle change in hair color with highlights, lowlights or all over color.  If you are looking for a more drastic and immediate change in your hairstyle then the Earthy tones are perfect for you.  Browns, golds and reds offer a broad selection of tonal ranges that will fit any skin tone and style.

For a barely there update for your Fall look you can also choose to go with golden, copper, auburn or honey highlights and lowlights.  The change will be hardly noticeable, but the added warmth and dimension will make a definite difference in your Fall look.  Don’t forget the added power of dimensional color to any hairstyle.   These subtle changes can add the perfect contrast in tones to give your style that added depth and texture.

September’s Model:  Kristy

Kristy’s original style was a medium length cut on virgin brown blonde hair with a straight and fine texture.

Her service was New Color with a single shade of Honey Blonde and a Classic Bob cut.  Her Honey blonde is the perfect color and style to transition into the Fall season.

What brought you to Dragonfly Hair Salon?

A friend recommended Dragonfly to me so I did a Google search in Corpus Christi to take a look at the website.  It looked really good to me especially when I compared it to other Corpus Christi Hair Salon websites.

How would you describe your visit to Dragonfly Hair Salon?

It was really great.  Ginger was really friendly and even though I was not able to explain exactly what I wanted, she got it just right and it looked really good.

What would you say your favorite thing about Dragonfly Hair Salon was?

My favorite thing is that I only had to describe what I wanted in general terms and  Ginger was able not only to get it right the first time, but also made it look really great for me personally.  I also really liked that the salon was clean.

Tell us what your photo shoot was like.

The photo shoot was really fun.  I’ve never done anything like that before and getting my hair and makeup done was a lot of fun too.  I was surprised the photos came out so good and made me look so pretty.

Why is your appearance important to you?

I want to look good because first impressions are the most important.  If you are looking for a job and you don’t look good then people are going to think that the job just isn’t important to you or that you don’t care.

What would you tell people thinking about giving Dragonfly Hair Salon a try?

Corpus Christi Hair Salon Model Exposé – August 2010

Posted on August 2, 2010 by Ginger

Dragonfly Hair Salon Corpus Christi TXAugust.  The peak of summer and the hottest time of the year, in Corpus Christi.  And the most popular time of the year for blondes to come out and show that most desirable of shades.  All around, women are sporting that perfect blonde.  But what is the perfect shade of blonde?

It is many things to many people.  Some like the warmer blondes while others prefer the platinum ultra blondes.  Surprisingly some even prefer the less than perfect orange and brassy blonde that Corpus Christi seems famous for.  Regardless of what you think the perfect blonde is, that shade is possible for you with a visit to the salon no matter what hair type you have or what your base color is.

One of our favorite blondes is the butter cream blonde.  This is a dimensional blonde that combines the attention grabbing ultra blonde shades with a soft butter cream blonde to give depth and dimension.  Multiple shades are a must for blondes.  Without the contrasting tones, the color will seem flat and lack movement.

While this is our favorite blonde shade, understand that it is a mean feat to achieve this result from any base color.  It requires three key elements.  Specialized knowledge, a high technical skill and quality hair coloring products that provide consistent results that can be anticipated on any hair type or color.

At Dragonfly Hair Salon this is a single process color service as it should be.  Combining blonde shades in a single process requires our master colorist to lay out a plan for your finished result before any color is even mixed.  The application requires a very structured and meticulous technique that will keep the colors where they belong, avoiding unwanted splotching and bleeding that will ruin a perfect blonde.  We use only premium hair coloring products made by Schwarzkopf and Goldwell without exception.  You will never find us trying to save a buck at the expense of your perfect blonde.

This month’s model:  Tristan

Tristan begins with naturally wavy hair that is medium texture.  Her base color was medium brown.

Her service was dimensional butter cream blonding – ultra blonde with butter cream highlights1.  This dimensional blonde was achieved using Goldwell Oxycur Platin and Topchic Highlift Blonde color in a single process.

Her cut is a shoulder length style with long layers.

1 - Lowlights is often a misnomer for hair that is of a darker tone or shade than surrounding hair.  However, this is not the proper use of the word.  Highlights lift color from the hair cuticle and lowlights deposit color to the hair cuticle.  In this instance, blonding a medium brown to butter cream blonde would be highlights.
