C is for...

CUTS!!  This was just too easy...this is what we do best.  We cut hair, and we love it.  

You wake up one morning.  You get ready for work or school or whatever.  Your hair is not cooperating.  You call 828.262.3324.  We CUT your hair.  All is right with the world.  Ok, ok...I'm kidding.  

But seriously, a good hair cut goes a long way.  Think of the times you want your hair cut...before family pictures, before the first day at school or any job, for an interview, for your grandmother, for your significant other, for YOU.  A new, fresh cut can turn your day around and give you a new look.  

A fresh cut will revive your color, give your hair volume and maintain your favorite style.  When growing your hair out you need to maintain healthy locks by getting a trim.  When your hair feels like "it just won't do anything" you need a cut!  All of the stylist have been trained in many aspects of cutting, from razor cutting to curly hair.  Bring in pictures of what you want and be honest with your stylist.  Tell them what you don't like, tell them what you do like.  Trust the stylist to give you the proper cut for you. Be honest with yourself as well...Are you going to style the cut the way it needs to be styled?  Are you going to maintain the style with regular trims?  Is this cut for you?  Most importantly, enjoy the experience.  From the time you walk in the door till the time you walk out, relax!  The shampoo is the best part, and let your stylist style your new 'do for you.  They can show you how to make your new haircut easy to live in.  

So, we hope to see you soon in our chair...our blades are new, our shears are sharpened and we are ready to CUT!!!

B is for...

...Bumble and Bumble, Blow Outs, Bio Ionic, Bangs and so much more!  I couldn't decide what to go with so John says..."B is for Brushes."

A good boar bristle brush is imperative for healthy, shiny hair.  Brushing your hair every night, like Marsha Brady, will help distribute the natural oils in your hair evenly. This helps with regrowth, split ends, removing hair that is trying to shed and stimulates your scalp.  A happy scalp produces healthy hair.  

We carry several different lines of brushes and tools.  We have all sizes of round brushes, teasing brushes, oval brushes, paddle brushes and styling brushes which are all boar bristle, and a ceramic line called Bio Ionic.  Bio Ionic brushes are not boar bristle, they are made with Volcanic minerals that force moisture into the hair instead of removing all the moisture, resulting in shiny, beautiful, bouncy hair.  Boar bristle brushes smooth the cuticle down on the hair shaft better than any other material.  Several of the brushes also have nylon bristles mixed with the boar bristle.  The boar bristle brushes we carry are the Marilyn brush, Monroe brushes, Denman brushes and Creative brushes.

If you have never been to the Salon for a blow out, you should call and make an appointment right now. One of the stylist will show you which tools to use, what products will give you the best results and tell you how to achieve this look at home.  Ashley is pictured above, she was a client at 101, she has since moved away, but her hair was styled with a round brush by Jezabel.  So, go ahead and give us a call, we  will set you up with the right BRUSH so you can have beautiful, healthy hair!!!  Ciao...

The ABC's of Haircut 101

Happy April Fool's Day!  I felt that today was the perfect day to being a new blog post and a new series of hair how-to's, funny remarks by our stylists, clients and ideas behind fabulous hair.  Since we are new to the blogger world, I thought we would begin again very simple...like with our ABC's!!  Check back tomorrow to see what "B" stands for!!

A is for ALL OVER COLOR!!

Haircut 101's basic color service is an all over color.  Although, it is anything but basic, our stylist will customize and mix the perfect shades for you.  All over color is applied from roots to ends to color all of your regrowth, grey hair and give you the tonal value and depth you desire.  At Haircut 101, we use Wella hair color.  Wella won "Favorite Permanent Hair Color" with Koleston Perfect, for the 2nd year in a row at the Behind the Chair's Stylist Choice Awards and "Favorite Bleach Lightener" with Wella's Blondor.

There are different application methods varying by stylist, but you will never be dissatisfied with this service.  Your favorite stylist will chose to use Permanent or Demi-permanent based on the condition of your hair and what type of coverage you need. But, please ladies and gents, do not be disillusioned by those box colors, the color never actually washes out of your hair.  

So, call the salon 828-262-3324, book your consultation or your color appointment today!  Your hair will be shiny, bouncy and healthy when you leave 101.
