As we go into Fall, are you looking for more low- maintenance color?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If so, have you considered getting a balayage vs traditional foils?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Balayage is so much easier than traditional highlights because you don't have to worry about getting your roots done every four weeks or having awkward lines of demarcation in your hair once the highlights grow out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With balayage, you'll be able to have gorgeous sunlit effects on any length of hair while maintaining healthy-looking locks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What type of color are you getting right now? Have you thought about switching it up? Let me know in the comments!Read moreRead less
For anyone that met Jean Pierre Nadjar, it’s with great sadness that I’m sharing this post 5 years and several months since he left his home in Virginia to be with his loving family in Paris. JP passed away in his sleep peacefully this past Monday, August 16th, 2021. The many lives he touched during his career & his life living in the US. are way too many to count, certainly. I will share my story of meeting JP when I was 16 years old.
It was the summer of 1980, I responded to an Ad in the Washington Post classified while looking for a position to work in a hair salon. Currently, I was assisting stylists @ a salon close to home and my high school, Mt. Vernon. I was interviewed by the manager of JP’s salon, La Moustache’ on North Lee street in old town, Alexandria. JP was present for the interview but didn’t speak much, he listened and the manager conducted the meeting. Within a week, I was called to come back to La Moustache’ and work on a trial basis at first, that summer I worked as the receptionist learning the scheduling, etc.. The salon was probably one of the first, upscale salons in Old Town at that time, very different from the current status with at least 1 hair salon each block of the historic cobble stone streets of Alexandria.
Once the summer was over and I was back at school. I started working a few days after school and weekends assisting JP. & the creme of the crop, very talented hair stylists. After many months and getting to know Jean Pierre, I would mention my father and family from time to time till one day JP asked what is your fathers name.?
When I replied, Grover Lawson, he told me he was my father’s hairstylist and my brother, Chip for many years. He also, remembered meeting me as a young girl in my nightgown & robe when my parents were having a party. My sister, Beth and I were allowed to say hello to some of the guests and we had the opportunity to speak French with a real Frenchman.. before being scooted off to bed.. lol!
I learned as much as I could absorb while working with the Master, JP as he was called by an enormous clientele and co-workers. It was the beginning of a dear friendship and working relationship that lasted for almost 40 years.. I have been a stylist for 38 years, crazy!! I still love it and one of the many reasons was a result of the time I spent working, watching and understanding what it meant to serve the community as best I could.. I will always remember Jean Pierre and be forever grateful for the foundation he provided for myself and many others. His spirit was always gentle and sweet, I do not ever recall him saying anything bad about anyone. He was a wonderful soul and man. May JP, Henri Nadjar rest in heavenly peace for now & always. 💗💗☮️🙏🕊🍀Read moreRead less
Have you ever felt this way?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You look at the pictures on Pinterest and Instagram, and you want that hair, but every time you stare at your flat iron or curling iron, you don’t even know where to start....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know I make it look easy - but I’ve had a lot of practice!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But don’t worry, I can help you out. At every appointment, I show you the tools, products, and my technique to achieve salon hair at home.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
