Flawless Hairstyle For a Brides Fairy Tale Day – Aurelio Salon in New Jersey

To a bride, finding a flawless hairstyle for their fairy tale day can be a headache. Some tend to imagine that a dramatic change is necessary in order for them to achieve the perfect look. Tying the knot comes with planning that can take a significant amount of time, but with the right steps and preparation (maybe some Advil) your hair will be flawless.

1. Create a relationship. To begin, you want to build a hair relationship with your stylist. Be sure to make regular appointments in order for them to get to know your hair. Over time they will learn your personal style/personality, hair type, and face shape – all of which will contribute to your wedding day hair.
2. Always, always, always do a practice run. It is an additional cost, but it is money well spent. This allows you to see what your hair will look like the day of and if there is anything that needs to be adjusted. Bring in pictures of looks you do like, but also bring in pictures of styles you do not like. By doing so, this will help you and your stylist communicate. Take pictures of the finished product and wear the style for the day if possible to see how it holds up.
3. Give yourself plenty of time!  Give yourself plenty of time! Give yourself plenty of time!
4. Be Yourself. Make sure you feel like yourself on your wedding day. If you stray from what you’re comfortable with, trust me, most likely you will be uncomfortable in your own skin. If you are known for having short hair – keep it! Bridal hair doesn’t always have to mean long hair.
5. SPEAK UP! If you are unhappy with the direction of the style or pins are pulling to tight where they have been placed, let your stylist know. They are there to help you and it is much easier to adjust the style while working – changing things around once finished is not so easy.
6. Once you make a choice don’t change it, most of the time it does not work out.   Many times a bride will do a trial run and love it! On the day of the wedding they come in, they have a totally different look they want. The stylist creates the new look and the bride does not like it , now they are stressing because of time.  In the end it is the style they had during the trial that the bride ends up with.
7. Think of the weather. Keep the time of year in mind. If it’s a hot time of year go with an updo. Very few people love the combination of humidity and hair.

Being beautified on your big day should be relaxing for you and keeping these tips in mind will help you know that you will love the results of your hair.

Aurelio Salon Unique Goldwell KMS Formula in Howell and Toms River NJ

Our Stylists at Aurelio Salon in Toms River NJ created a brighter vibrant violet on our client Korina.  When Korina came to the salon she was a natural level 6, with color on her ends.  Korina wanted an ombre.   After consulting with her they opted to go with a darker violet on top to a brighter more vibrant violet on the ends. To achieve this outstanding color our stylist had to not only make adjustments for the differences in color in the hair but had to create a unique formula for Korina used Goldwell Color.  If you would like to have this look please stop in and ask our stylists!

First we had to address the ends by using Goldwell Oxycur Platin Lightening Powder on the ends then applied a glazed using a mixture of Colorance color to create an even canvas for Elumen.  Colorance is a demi-permanent hair color that not only protects the hair, but even repairs the hair structure. The healthier the hair, the more beautiful and shining the color result. We then conditioned the hair with Rich Repair 60 second treatment. Using Elumen, randomly placed and painted it on throughout the ends for dimension in the hair and applied Elumen from roots to midshaft. Because of condition of the hair Elumen lock and treat was applied at the sink to seal in the color.

Goldwell NYC Event – Highline Ballroom

May, 2014 (New York, NY) The Aurelio Salon staff had the pleasure of attending The Goldwell NYC event at the Highline Ballroom, last night. In attendance, sitting second row, was our salon director Daisy, managers Melissa and Ariel, Salon educators Natalie, Kristina and Nicoletta, and Stylists Tim, Jessica, and Emily along over 500 salon owners, hairstylists, distributors, and fashion gurus.

While the Highline Ballroom is well known, it did not impress. The seating was tight and the food a disappointment and it seemed that they did not have enough staff to service the needs of the guest.  Luckily the show more then made up the disappointment of the venue.  Patrick McIvor took the stage as MC, Introducing industry icons like Simon Miller representing KMS California, Nick Arrojo for Arrojo NYC and John Simpson for Goldwell.

As the models for Goldwell walk the catwalk we were wowed by the amazing cuts and color, platform artist John Simpsom enticed to attend the up-coming Color Zoom event in Berlin.  John walked us through some formulations and techniques that were used on the models and taught us how we can use some of the techniques in the salon. He then followed up by introducing the new Kerasilk Keratin Hair Smoothing Treatment, launched this year, and showing how it took unruly frizzy hair and makes it more manageable, softens curly hair and smooths frizz.

Next up was celebrity hairstylist Nick Arrojo and his team.  After a little info on all the models and the color used on them they did a hair cutting demo with Nick showing his classic razor cutting skills.  The presentations were ended after Simon Miller and KMS army took the stage demonstrating the amazing uses of KMS product along with a live performance.

The night ended with the an amazing final presentation as the models took the stage for one last time showing of some great Avante-garde hair.  After the show the models came off stage and were walking around providing photo-ops.  The staff was also able to mix and mingle with the guest artists and discuss tip and techniques that can be used in the salon.  Photo-ops were also taken advantage of as well with them.
