 Things You Should know at the Salon

NewBeauty 14 hours ago

We’d all like to think our hairstylist is a magical genie who is perfectly capable of granting any sort of hair wish. But truthfully speaking, our go-to stylists are only human, and can’t transform your tresses with the flick of a magic wand. And yes, you may think you know the ins and outs of everything hair, but maintaining appropriate salon etiquette is key to ensuring a great appointment for both you and your stylist.
Not only is seeing eye to eye crucial, but it can also help you achieve those wondrous (and not to mention realistic) results every time you pop into the salon. So, if you are looking to brush up your salon etiquette, here’s five things you can stop saying altogether. Yes, that even includes asking for discounts.

Please Don’t Lie
There’s probably nothing a colorist hates more than lying about previous dye jobs you may have had in the past. Whether you’ve done henna, a semi-permanent color or highlights, Shaun Surething, co-owner and lead stylist at New York–based Seagull Hair Salon, says there is definitely still existing color in your hair, making it extra important to be honest about your past color history.
“Lying about having no traces of color in your hair will result in unpredictable results in the salon,” says Surething. “Even the most well-trained colorists can sometimes not see an old gloss that will affect the outcome of your new color.”
Even worse comes lying about using box color, which can really affect your color outcome, especially if you plan on going lighter. To avoid unwanted and awkward color overlap, be sure to tell your stylist about any box color products you may have used in the past, even if it was three years ago.
“Don't ever try to lie about using box dye or at-home color in hopes we won't find out when you want to go lighter,” says Tiffany Chiapparelli, lead educator for amika. “We are lifting your hair from any color you've had, so there is no point in lying about it.”
But Don’t Hold Back Either
Complaints at the salon can be tricky, but there usually is a way to air your grievances without sounding like that nagging woman everyone dreads. Experts like Chiapparelli stress the importance of speaking up, especially if your results are not to your satisfaction.
“Don't be shy if there is an issue that you notice mid-appointment,” she says. “We want you to be happy—so please speak up!”
Don’t Think Your Results Are Going to Look Like the Picture
Visuals can be more than helpful when it comes to showing your stylist exactly what you are going for, but some experts warn against relying on celebrity hair photos, as they can create unrealistic expectations. Just because your favorite songstress went blond, doesn’t mean you’ll get the same dramatic bleached effect. "If you bring in a photo of a hair color you want, keep in mind that photo might have been edited, and there may not be a way to create that color in real life,” states Jackie Ferrara, senior colorist at Pierre Michel Salon.
Similarly, the same concept also applies to haircuts, as different facial shapes and features can make any chop look different on anyone. “We all have different head shapes, face shapes, features, hair texture and even hair color,” says Nicole Contrastano, senior expert stylist from Pierre Michel Salon. “One haircut can take on a whole different look on someone else.”

Don’t Show Up Late, and Demand to Be Out On Time
Another way to tick off your hairstylist is showing up late, which can seriously throw a wrench into his or her schedule. A stylist’s schedule can book fast throughout the day, and showing up extremely late can throw off his or her workflow, really affecting your results.
“We can't make miracles happen and rush to give you the best appointment when we don't have the allotted time,” adds Michelle Lee, co-owner and master designer of Salon Eva Michelle in Boston. “Stylists naturally want their clients to be happy with the service, but if we feel rushed and we can't make it the best, it's a double-edged sword.”

Don’t Be Resistant To Change
Change is always synonymous with a new cut or color, so experts recommend keeping this in mind when booking appointments, especially for haircuts. According to stylist Amerah at Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa, clients should always remember that all haircuts require some sort of change, even if you are coming in for a trim.
“Don’t say you want a haircut, but then proceed to say you don't want the hair to look shorter,”Amerah says. “Anytime you cut hair, it only gets shorter.”

In addition, Chiapperelli finds that you shouldn’t give your stylist mixed messages either, as backing out of changes you’ve agreed to makes the process more unnecessarily complicated than it should be. “Don't tell your hairstylist you are ready for a change and then decline every one of our suggestions—it sounds like what you really need is a margarita and a good therapy session,” she adds.

Girl Regrets Sending Her Dad to Buy Her Pads

From Redbook
Things we daughters might rely on our dads for 1) tough love 2) fixing a flat tire 3) teaching us how to ride a bike. Asking your pop to buy you pads and/or tampons, however, does not typically make the cut.
Tia Savva from Bedford, England learned this the hard way when she requested her dad pick up a pack of Always. His response: Always what?? And so begins the hilarity.
All the while, a woman started staring at him. Still, this didn't shut the conversation down. Tia added, "I need the night-time ones, should be purple packaging. Scented and with wings please."
Deep in the black hole of confusion, he responds: "WTF are wings? How will I know if they're scented, will I have to smell them?" Cringe.
And then it got even worse.

"Do you need any creams?" her dad asks, to which Tia naturally snaps back with, "What the f--k? Why would I need creams?" It wasn't long after this awkward exchange that Tia finally put an end to the convo. But not before we had a good chuckle.

 People's 2016 World's Most Beautiful Woman

People 17 hours ago

(People magazine)
Jennifer Aniston may be one of the most gorgeous stars in Hollywood, but she was still humbled and “very, very flattered” when she first heard the news that she was being named the Most Beautiful Woman in the World. “I thought, ‘Oh my God,’ ” she tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “There was this sort of very excited, teenage-y kind of moment.”
The actress, who says she’s learned to embrace her appearance over the years, insists she feels her best when she’s healthy and strong.
“It’s funny, it’s a really quick transition from not a care and now all of a sudden, we’ve got to really be mindful of what we put inside our bodies,” she adds. “And how we sleep and take care of ourselves. You can get away with a lot in your 20s.”
For more of Aniston’s revealing interview, including beauty tips and secrets she’s learned over the years, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE on newsstands Friday.
Aniston, 47, was first motivated to start taking care of herself early on in her career after an agent told her she didn’t get a part because she was “too chubby.”
“I was like, 'What?!’ But my diet was terrible,” she says. “Milk shakes and French fries with gravy [laughs]. It was a good thing to start paying attention.”
Now the actress mixes it up by exercising at least six days a week for about an hour each day and watching her diet. But that doesn’t mean she won’t indulge in her favorites. From chips and guacamole to her husband Justin Theroux’s pasta carbonara, which they make together every couple of weeks, “I’m not as strict as I was,” she says. “It was always sort of a monitored watch. Then I thought just give yourself moderation.”
Besides cooking and exercising with her husband, Aniston says just being married to Theroux brings her the greatest joy. “He makes me laugh. He’s so interesting and so interested,” she says. “He’s unbelievably talented in more areas than one and he’s just a good man.”

As for her natural look, the actress gives full credit to her glam squad for teaching her “everything that I know! Whatever was happening before was just unfortunate,” says the star, adding that she now knows how to contour her cheeks and blow out her hair. “When I was in my 20s, my face was almost a complete circle. So I really needed contouring. And now I’m slowly chiseling away, wishing I had that round face back.”
If she could magically try any new look and instantly go back, Aniston says she’d be game to check out a pixie cut. “If I knew I could instantly push it back. I’m very curious to see what I would look like with really short hair,” she says. “But I’ll never do it. Never. I’m a long hair girl. It’s like a security blanket.”

So how does Aniston define beauty? “Inner confidence. Peace. Kindness. Honesty. A life well-lived,” she says. “Taking on challenges and not feeling shame for things that haven’t gone the way you felt they should have. And not feeling like a failure or allowing people to critique your life and make you feel like you’ve failed at something. That’s just toxic noise.”
