Should I “Let It Go?” by Amy B.

It’s time to think about shedding that heavy head of hair for Summer.

Diva Salon Spa West Mount Royal stylist April Jones says, “every woman wants to be sexy, but what kind of sexy are you? Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn? Are you sporty, classic or funky? How open to change are you?”

Hmmm? Great questions every hair stylist should ask before liberating you from your beloved mane.

Let’s take a walk through “Pixie History”

Are you ready to go short? Why not? You are in great company if you stroll through the history of amazing short styles. My favorite is Winona Ryder who has NEVER had a bad hair day!

1) Modern Pixies

Bring pictures for your stylist. Your stylist will make sure that your chosen haircut is right for you and easy to maintain based on your hair texture, type and density. What is your favorite feature? Tell your stylist! Your cut can be designed to enhance your eyes, cheekbones or lips.

TIP: Place your thumb over the celebrity’s face. Do you still want that cut? Maybe you really want their career, money, clothes or boyfriend!

2) Asymmetrical Pixie

I loved my hair when I left the salon… Your Diva stylist will ensure you can style your hair at home so you look great until your next salon visit. This means the right products, tools and expert styling tips.

How much time do you spend styling your hair? Another great question your stylist should ask to determine the best cut and products to maintain your style.

3) Architectural Lob

I can’t quite let it all go… April Jones says an expert stylist will ask lifestyle questions like, “Do you ever wear your hair up?” If the answer is yes, then maybe you need to hang on to a bit of length. If the answer is, “Yes, I wear my hair up every day (because I can’t style it),” then it’s probably time to make a change.

4) Off-Kilter Bob

Don’t forget colour… Colour enhances a great cut and complements your complexion so make sure to consult with your stylist about the latest trends in highlights or fashion colours. If your are nervous about going down the colour road, your Diva stylist can offer an Aveda Glossing Treatment that adds gorgeous shine and condition. Another alternative to permanent colour is an Aveda Deposit-Only Colour Treatment that lasts 6-8 weeks. It’s a great way to experiment without the commitment.

It’s just hair… Let It Go and have fun this summer!Audrey-Hepburn-pixie-haircut-134154340359
