What a great month! Make your appointment with Rachel K. at Gemini Salon!!

Lovely Hairs!

I haven't updated in a while! I haven't been taking as many photos as I used to, because unless it is something really different, I feel like my clients can get a pretty good idea of my work from what I have. However, every now and then I'll update it still! Like today! :)

 Christy (before and after!) Christy is someone I work with at the clinic. Love her!! She has been seeing a lady for a while that she couldnt get a hold of to do her roots, so she came to me. On her hair, we did full weave of blonde and light brown in Christy's hair. I love this color!! It's sooo pretty! We also added layers to change up her look a little.

 Morgan's bridal hair! The reason she's in 2 different shirts is because we took photos when she came in for a practice updo, and when she came in for her bridal photo updo.  I don't know why but I didn't save all the photos from the first time, so I just took some again the second time. Oh and the one taken of the front was taken in the mirror, so the bun is on the right side but it looks like it's on the left in that picture.  She wanted a side bun and a braid, and this is what we did! Morgan has the best hair ever!! So great for updos!! And she's a darling girl! I am SOOO happy for her to get married!

 Kaylie (before and after!) This girl is absolutely darling!  She came in and was trying to describe what she wanted. It was so different than what people usually want, and from what she had, that I ended up googling pictures to make sure she would be happy lol! She wanted black (we went with an off black/brown) on top and blonde underneath. She liked the more punk look. She had cut her bangs and hair herself before so I also had to fix that up a little. We had a fun chat about all the Nick and Disney shows lol! I know I need to grow up...but it's too fun! :)

My Favorite Products!

People always wanna know either what I use on my hair or what my favorite products are. I carry most of these products in my salon.  If you are interested in purchasing any, contact me. They are all professional products and have to be bought by someone licensed.

 Favorite Hairstyling Products:

Big Sexy Hair: Back comb in a bottle. AMAZING for backcombing.  I use this when I want lots of volume, especially when doing formal hair. Spray on hair before you start backcombing.

Big Sexy Hair: Big Sexy Hairspray. My all time favorite hairspray. Does not leave white residue and it holds really well.

Redken: This is a pomade that I use. I'm not sure exactly what it's called, I just know it has a 03 on it. I don't like gels much so I used this for mens client.  I also use it for formal styles to hold the curl. It doesn't harden like gel or hairspray does so it steal leaves movement while holding.

  Favorite Shampoo and Conditioner:

 

Redken: All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner. I love this shampoo and conditioner. It makes your hair very soft.  You should always have a couple brands, because your hair will get used to one and then it doesn't work the same.

Enjoy: Luxury Shampoo and Conditioner. This shampoo smells so good. It is much more expensive, but you don't use as much of it. It has a cleanse sensor in it which is cool, so the shampoo wont lather until your hair is clean. So you keep rinsing with water until it lathers. 

*When I clean my hair...I always shampoo TWICE. So I'll use any kind of shampoo the first shampoo and then my redken or enjoy the second shampoo. Also remember that hot water fades color and that some shampoos will too. If you color your hair, buy a good product to make it last.*

 Favorite Leave in Conditioner:

Biolage: Hydratherapie Leave in Tonic. I love this stuff. The only leave in conditioner that's made a difference to me. Use in your hair while it's wet (after shampooing and conditioning) 

Favorite Heat Protectors:

Lisap: Unisystem heat protector. This stuff smells SO yummy which is why it's my favorite one. It makes the hair shiny as well. Use before applying any heat.

Moroccan Oil: This is an oil that works wonders. Hands down my completely favorite product that I recommend to EVERYONE. It helps dry the hair faster, it protects from heat, it calms friz, it detangles, it makes the hair shiny and super soft. You can put it in while hair is wet and when it's dry. It seriously works wonders. TRY IT!

Megan and Jen!

A couple of people I work with from my other job (U of U dermatology) came in to the salon.  I seriously love the people I work with there SOOO much!! I'm glad they're clients too cause they're all SO great! Here are their pictures :)

 Megan (before and after!) Megan is an MA at the clinic. For her hair, we did an all over color and we cut her a line more dramatic than what it was before. She hadn't had it colored in a while so it was really exciting to do something new!! :)

Jen (before and after!) this is one of my supervisors at my work! She hadnt had her hair hilighted in a while and wanted it a little lighter for the summer! We did a partial weave of blonde.  We also added side bangs and layers...which she didnt have either of! So fun to try new things :))

My New Blowdryer!

I'm always trying to keep up on trying new products and having stuff that's good quality. However, a lot of beauty products are extremely expensive.  A blowdryer is one of them and I've been putting off buying a new one for a while! I've been getting complaints about my blowdryer (which is REALLY out dated haha!) and I finally invested in a new one!! I'm so excited I had to share it!

I do like Joico KPak products! The straightener is AMAZING! And I've heard great things about this blow dryer! SOOOO excited to use it :))
