Today March 20th is not only the first day of spring but it's also National Live Happy Day. With spring a symbol of new growth in our gardens and trees, a cleanup of our closets and homes why shouldn't it be a symbol of growth in ourselves. 

  

National Live Happy Day is really a day to remind you to put the negativity aside and replace it with positivity.

Quote from http://actsofhappiness.org/:

"Acts Of Happiness, It’s as simple as a hug. A kind word. Helping a neighbor. Holding a door.

Acts of Happiness are small things—with a big impact. They’re every day, thoughtful expressions that others do for us—and that we intentionally do for others.

So, come on! Make someone’s day—and yours—a little brighter."

At the salon we have a wall in the back room that has inspirational and positive quotes, these are important for us because it reminds us every day who we want to be and what we want to strive for.

So what are you going to do, not just today to bring happiness to yourself and to others!

 Again even the smallest of things can change someone’s day.

Talk about a chic rainy day look! We just love the trench paired with her low pony (you'll see our tip below on how to create this look from 3/14/14). Don't let the rain discourage you from looking your best. If you are looking for a quick way to cover up those locks than we recommend using a wide brim hat, pairing it with a jeans a cute oxford and a vest and what rainy day look isn't complete with a pair of Hunter rain boots all we have to say is FABBBB!

With spring upon us it means we can rid our closets of those large puffy coats that cover our cute outfits, the hats that flatten our hair and and the mittens that cover our fresh manicures. We become butterflies shedding our outer shells to reveal the beautiful things we all are.

 Then reality hits and we realize that the over sized coats cover our comfy clothes not cute outfits and who are we kidding, the hat hid all the growth we have been putting off from our last appointment and the gloves come in handy because we all know none of us have been having regular manicures. So spring is not only a time to clean the house but to clean yourself up.

 The question on everyone's mind is "where do we start"? So that's why we are here to help you in creating the perfect most polished spring and summer looks.

Lets start from the top and work our way down:




The trend on the runways this year that we all love is a low pony tail, it's one of those things that you can wear from the office, to that business luncheon and to the PTA.
Its a casual yet refined.

Our tip: is gently move the pony from left to right before securing at the nap, it'll loosen to create the soft frame without losing the shape. 

Another runway favorite of ours is loose waves.
The loose wave is a timeless look that really flatters mostly everyone! You can wear it short or long and its a great look for cocktails at the Top Of The East or a casual lunch with your best girlfriends!

Our Tip: Keep waves random and tousled for a carefree feel, if you pair this look with an ombre, it  give your locks so much depth! 

For these very casual elegant looks we suggest going light on the makeup! Mascara and lips are any easy application that are great for anyone on the go! A natural/ nude lip color can go a long way and will enhance what you already have, if you want to go bold, a great red lip stain will be sure to make you pop! Again keeping the eyes very subtle with a great mascara will give you that runway look!

Now to the nails! A manicure is one of the most easy ways to change your look up. It doesn't take much time and you are sure to wow with a great color! This season the look is white, a white nail will draw slight attention but wears well with anything. If you are looking to get into a color, navy blue! It wears well and looks great with jeans and a leather jacket or a floor length gown for that charity event you have coming up!  These helpful hints are here to get you ready for this coming spring.
