Winter Hair Trends

December 20, 2021 by admin

It’s winter, the snow is falling, and winter hair trends are calling! If you’re looking to change up your look and keep the season on your side, then visit Beauty Lounge and try out some of these amazing winter trends that are sure to leave you feeling like an icy queen.

Winter Colors

Silver Fox

An iconic winter hue that has been popular over the last few years is silver! Silver hair can come in all shades and tones of silver or grey. We sometimes even see silver purple or silver-blue shades. To achieve this look it requires a very light start. For example, if you are going from brown to a sliver, it will take a few bleaching sessions to lighten it to the point that the silver will shine through. If you are aiming to complete this process quickly, your hair already must be lightened to a white blonde. All the beautiful brunettes who aim for this there’s nothing to fear. Going to a specialist, like the hairstylists at Beauty Lounge RI, you can absolutely achieve this look in due time. Going to a professional, especially for a look like this is crucial in maintaining healthy hair. Trying this process alone can risk a lot of damage that would take time to come back from.

Icy Blonde

A signature winter color is a blonde, but not any old blonde bombshell, an icy blonde. Using cool tones and bright white highlights produces the perfect icy blonde shade. This brilliant blonde can be achieved through a consistent hair lighting process. Much like the silver, your hair must be lightened in steps to achieve blonde while maintaining the health of your hair. The great thing about an icy blonde style is the vast color scheme that can come from the mix of cool and warm blondes. Not one icy blonde is like the next and the shades are always tailored to best-fit clients.

Ash-blonde is like Icy blonde but is less vibrant and a bit duller for blondies who want the light look but don’t want it to be too bright. Using cool tones of brown, grey, and blonde, are the main contenders when trying to achieve this look. A toner is utilized to strip any warm tones from the hair leaving it to be a cute cool subtle look.

Deep Red

There is something breathtaking about red hair in the wintertime. The contrast of a bold red and the white winter is such an eye-catching moment. If there is any time to try red it’s in the winter. Red is a strong shade that requires less lighting and preparation. There are unlimited options when working with red. If you want something richer in a color you can aim for a deep red, burgundy, or even dark auburn. You can rock a bright ruby red or incorporate red highlights and lowlights to achieve a dimensional red look. It’s important to note, like any of the other shades, red is a commitment. This shade is perfect if you plan on keeping it through the winter months and even into spring. Unlike the blonde, red doesn’t take much to achieve a beautiful shade, but it can take a longer time to completely get the warm tones out when you’re ready to go lighter. Regardless, this process is easily achievable with the right set of professionals behind you.

All these beautiful winter color trends take time to achieve and must be met with patience. With the proper maintenance at home and in the salon, these shades remain long-lasting and leave your hair healthy with a one-of-a-kind flare.

Styles

Our tried-and-true winter hairstyles are still trending this winter. When it comes to cold weather, long locks are favored over short low maintenance styles. Long layers are great for someone who wants to keep their length but wants to add volume or depth. This cut gives clients the length without the blunt, straight cut at the ends. These long layers can be paired with a curtain bang that helps shape the style around the face. Mullets are back in as well. Long mullets are trending right now and have a variety of lengths, layers, and shapes to match your style.

With all of this to your strands, one of the most underrated styles for the winter is protective styles. If you are dying your hair or regularly styling it with heat tools, it’s necessary for your hair to recover from damages. Even if you rarely change your hairstyle or hair routine, protective styles are a must in the winter. Our hair is stronger when it’s together versus in a loose state. The winter months can be very hard on hair, drying it out and leading to breaking and more damage. Using styles like updos, buns, and braids, paired with a leave-in conditioner is essential in the winter months.

Enjoy the winter with a new look and remember to maintain your hair health overall. Professional stylists at the Beauty Lounge will guide you every step of the way. Contact the professional stylist at Beauty Lounge RI to start your winter hair journey today!

Is your hair looking for a refresh after a summer full of fun? Get ready to head into the cooler, cozy months with some of these fall 2021 hair trends!

Style Trends

Bangs made a comeback this year! Specifically, curtain bangs. These bangs are light, airy, and look effortless. They sweep across the forehead and frame the face like how curtains frame a window. The best part? Curtain bangs look good on everyone!

If you like layers, the shag haircut is for you. This cut is reminiscent of the 80s and defined by many choppy, textured layers that add depth to the hair. This style of cut looks great on short, medium, or long hair!

Dare to cut it short, try a bob! Although a bob cut can sometimes be looked at as being conservative, there are several styles of bob that can make you look confident and stylish including the French bob and the hairline bob. A bob works well with straight or curly hair!

Is your hair not quite short but not quite long? If your hair is caught somewhere in the middle, create texture and depth for your hair by adding airy layers!

Color Trends

Latte Blonde – Imagine watching the leaves fall as you grip a warm coffee mug on a crisp autumn morning. A latte blonde hair color reflects the warm tones in your cup, like coffee with creamer.

Chocolate and Chestnut – Start with a dark brown base and add light brown highlights on top to give your hair an elegant yet warm look.

Crisp Apple Cider – There’s nothing quite like the color orange in autumn. Auburn is a beautiful hair color that mimics the changing leaves. Vary the shades used to create a multidimensional hair color.

Burgundy – Just in time for Halloween, consider a deep, reddish-purple hair color for those that prefer a dark, sultry look.

Are you ready for a fresh, fall look? The Beauty Lounge can give you the hair of your dreams! Book your appointment today!

Highlights 101

July 15, 2021 by admin

The act of adding highlights to the hair has been traced back as far as Ancient Greece. In the 6^th century BC, Ancient Greeks would add lighter tones to their hair by applying a concoction of olive oil, gold flakes, lemon juice, and pollen before letting their hair bake in the sunlight. Thousands of years later, although the process has developed, the trend continues to thrive. If you are looking for a way to create the illusion of depth in your hair, highlights are the way to go!

Traditional Highlights

Traditional highlights are applied using foil. The hairstylist will section off the hair, apply coloring product, and wrap the hair in foil. Wrapping the hair in foil allows for the coloring product to completely saturate the hair and ultimately produce a more developed result. The foil method was revolutionary to the history of highlighting hair. It was originally introduced in the mid-1970s and continues to be the most popular method today.

Babylights

Babylights are very similar to traditional highlights. In fact, they are accomplished by using the same foil method as traditional highlights. The main difference is the size of the highlights. Babylights are compromised of smaller, thinner sections of the hair that are closer together. This allows the highlight color to blend more naturally with the base color.

Balayage

“Balayage” is a French word that means “to sweep.” Often misunderstood as a style of highlights, balayage is actually a technique that was introduced in France in the 1970s. It is done by freehand painting the coloring product onto the hair in a sweeping motion. Balayage is used when a natural transition is desired from the roots to the ends of the hair.

Foilyage

As the name implies, foilyage is a method that combines foiling and balayage techniques. The coloring product is applied to the hair using the balayage’s freehand painting but is then placed inside of foils to help the color process fully. This method maintains the subtle sweeping look produced by the balayage method but with more dramatic coloration caused by using foils.

Ombré

“Ombré” is another French word meaning “shaded.” Unlike balayage, ombré is a style of highlights, not a method of applying highlights. While traditional highlights focus on applying a lighter color to the roots of the hair, ombré highlights appear as a quick transition from a darker color at the roots of the hair to a lighter tone at the roots. Ombré is usually better for those who wish to make more of a statement rather than achieve a natural look.

Sombré

Sombré is a similar style to ombré, the main difference is the duration of the color transition. While the ombré transition is quick, the sombré transition occurs more gradually. This results in a more natural look as the hair slowly changes from a darker color at the roots to a lighter color as it progresses towards the ends of the hair.

No matter which highlights you choose, the Beauty Lounge can help you achieve the look you’ve always wanted! Schedule an appointment today!

Summer Hair Color Trends

June 10, 2021 by admin

The past year provided many people with the opportunity to embrace their natural hair colors. As people head back into the hair salon, we are seeing more and more choose to maintain natural hair colors. Take a look at these hair color trends for the summer of 2021!

Bright Blonde Is Back

No matter what you choose to call it – honey blonde, sunshine blonde, buttery blonde, yellow blonde – there’s no denying that this vibrant version of blonde hair is making a comeback this summer. If you’re looking for something a bit more subtle, platinum blonde is another popular shade that remains a consistent trend.

50 Shades of Red

There is no doubt that red will be one of the dominant hair colors in the summer of 2021. From strawberry blonde to brick red, natural auburn to deep wine, any shade of red can be found in the top picks for hair colors this summer!

The Best of Brown

One of the more natural hair colors that people are choosing to stick with this summer is brunette. Now, obviously brunette comes in a wide variety of shades. Some of the more popular shades people are going with this summer include chestnut, caramel, hazelnut, and dark chocolate. These classic colors can be touched up in any number of ways with highlights, babylights, Balayage, foilayage, ombre, and more!

Multidimensional Jet Black

Again, going along with the natural hair colors, jet black is a striking hair color trend that will take the summer by storm! Multidimensional highlights are achieved by combining 2-3 shades of a similar color, creating illusions of volume and depth.

Dare to Be Different

While the natural hair colors are calling to some, others are feeling the desire to express themselves more vibrantly after a difficult year. Some of the new hair color trends we will be seeing this summer include peach, amethyst, and pastel pink.

Highlighting a New Trend

Face-framing highlights are the perfect way to add a touch of fun to your hair this summer. You can choose to use a natural color like blonde or a more eye-catching color like blue. No matter what you choose, face-framing highlights, also referred to as a “money piece highlight”, will create a great sense of depth and contrast in anyone’s hair.

No matter which color you choose to go with this summer, the Beauty Lounge is here to help you get the perfect summer look! Start the summer off right and schedule your appointment today!

If you’re looking for a simpler look, get your natural lashes tinted and save yourself the hassle of applying mascara every morning.

SKIN

The cold days of late autumn and winter can dry out your skin. Revitalize your skin by treating yourself to a spa day! Opt for treatments that will hydrate your skin, especially your hands and feet. At the Beauty Lounge, our facial treatments will keep your face looking bright and fresh despite all the cold weather!

Fall Hair Color Trends That Will “Leaf” You Speechless

October 31, 2018 by admin

Leaves don’t have to be the only thing changing color this fall.

The transition away from summer inspires darker colors to match the cooling temperatures. At the Beauty Lounge, we offer fall-inspired hair colors and techniques that are as trendy as a pumpkin spice latte. These are our favorite hair colors, inspired by our favorite parts of the new season.

RED VELVET

Second only to eating the cake itself, Red Velvet is the sweet hair color for those who want to add more red into their current color. With a variety of shades, you can choose anything between standout and subtle. We love this trend because blondes and brunettes alike can take a bite and enjoy.

TOASTED COCONUT

This hair color trend is made for those who aren’t ready to let summer go. This low-maintenance ombre is ideal for brunettes who want to go “bronde.” It can also be stunning with auburn or blonde hair. No matter the length of your hair, this color is the perfect way to say goodbye to summer.

FLANNEL

Inspired by everyone’s favorite fall clothing, “Flannel” is the perfect fall hair color for anyone who loves sweaters and drinking hot apple cider. The combination of burnt copper, auburn, deep red, and mulled wine hues create a warm, cozy color. Our favorite part about this color is that the variations of each of the shades can be changed depending on if your skin tone is warmer or cooler.

COLD BREW

In New England, we drink iced coffee all year-round. Why not match your hair with your favorite drink? The “Cold Brew” hair color trend is inspired by the swirling of milk and flavor into your coffee. Lighter hair colors should focus on the highlights to create a golden tone whereas darker hair colors would use neutral-toned highlights. We love that you can be inspired by your favorite coffee flavors to create a beautiful, rich color.

Feel inspired yet? Schedule your appointment with the Beauty Lounge for all your hair care needs.
