Short Wedding Hairstyles - Gorgeous Choices

wedding hairstyle

A woman's wedding day is one of the most important days of her life, therefore, finding the right choice in a short hairstyle will go a long way in helping her to feel confident and lovely. Like every other decision that will go into how she presents herself, choosing the right short wedding hairstyle should be a reflection of her inner self.

Short hairstyles are a wonderful way to frame a bride's face, draw attention to the eyes, and highlight lovely wedding jewelry.

It should be noted that changing to a short hairstyle for a wedding should not be a last-minute decision, rather the bride should have already been wearing her hair in a short style for some time, and be comfortable with it. A bride should be happy, comfortable and confident with her hairstyle before her wedding. All of a sudden changing it before she gets married can lead to feelings of regret.

There is a lot of choice within short wedding hairstyles, to give the overall desired effect. For example, short hair can be curled, so that delicate curls frame the face, and around the neck. Adding small clips, pins, and other hair adornments can make for a pretty overall effect when sparkling through the curls. Similar to an updo for brides with longer hair, smoothing the hair back with mousse or gel is an effective way to draw attention to her face, eyes, cheekbones, and jewelry.

Deciding on a hairstyle that is understated and timeless is a better choice for a wedding hairstyle than going for a very bold or trendy look, unless that is the bride's usual style.

Another consideration for a short hairstyle is how the veil is going to sit on her head. A veil with a jeweled headband may look better with a smoother hairstyle, and a sleeker overall look. A more simple design of headband and veil may look better with the curly hairstyle.It's a good idea to take into account the overall look of the hair, jewelry, and dress and how they will all work together.

Sleeker hairstyles look very dramatic with sleek, understated wedding dresses.

With whichever short wedding hairstyle a bride chooses to go with, it's important to have photos taken in advance with the veil and jewelry that are to be worn on the day. That way a bride will be able to achieve the desired effect for her official wedding photos. At the end of the day the most important thing is how the bride feels comfortable and at her most beautiful.

How to Look Beautiful For Women

women hairstyle

There are some things that boys can't blog about, so here's some tips from the girlfriend on how to keep looking young even as the years go by. Enjoy reading!

Hair
- Use anti-ageing shampoo. Prevention is always better than cure.
- Wear a sun hat. (Unless there's sun protection for the scalp. Even if there is, the greasiness will destroy your lovely hairstyle.) So be sure to choose a style you'll love wearing.
- Update your hairstyle regularly. Get an age-appropriate hairstyle. Schoolgirl bangs can give an instant face-lift. Sideswept bangs can add a touch of girlishness. There are so many hairstyles out there, there'll definitely be one that suits you.
- Use hair masks weekly if your hair suffers abrasive treatments like colouring. Even swimming chlorinates hair. So do take care of it and give it weekly pampering.
- Stack your diet with hair-loving protein and nutrients. And don't crash-diet, as it'll affect how your locks look.

Eyes
- Invest in a good eye cream. As the delicate skin around your eyes is thinner than the rest of your face, it more often than not is the first place where crows' feet show up. Retinoid creams can help to keep fine lines from deepening into wrinkles; consult your dermatologist.
- Apply eye masks regularly. Once a week would be my recommended minimum. If your budget permits, twice a week would do quite nicely. For me, I make sure to also put on an eye mask after I take off my contact lenses to prevent fine lines. As I don't wear contacts everyday, this is feasible budget-wise. Find a skincare routine that works for you. Just don't neglect your eye area.
- Mascara opens up your peepers and beautify you almost immediately. Many ladies also get a bit of a boost from false eyelashes to get that doe-eyed look. Go ahead and mesmerise the men out there. Just take care when you remove your eye makeup. Many women tug at their eye area to get that last bit of mascara and eyeliner off, and also just tear off their false eyelashes. Such force is not de rigeur for removing eye makeup. In other words, be gentle with your eyes.
- Wear UV-protected shades as squinting not only strains your eyes, it crinkles the thin skin around them. Big, wraparound shades provide maximum protection.
- Get enough sleep so that your eyes look well-rested. If you have puffiness, apply eyecream chilled overnight in the fridge (I know many ladies know this already. Good for you!).
- Don't cry the night before! You'll get puffy eyes. Poor girl.

Face
- Sun protection. Cannot be emphasised more. My boyfriend doesn't understand why I have to apply sunblock for a 5-min trip to an indoor place. But us girls all do, so let's ignore them ignorant boys.
SPF must be 15 or higher, and ensure that your sunscreen says "broad spectrum" on its label so that you'll get dual protection from UVA and UVB rays.
- Exfoliate weekly to restore that radiant glow and get baby-soft skin.
- Choose products that are suited to your skin type, sensitivity and moisture level (dry to oily). If you are not sure of your skin type, an easy (and usually free) way is to consult the girls at makeup/skincare brand counters at department stores.
- Invest in proper skincare products -- cleanser, moisturiser, eye cream, and sunscreen -- and cultivate proper skincare habits. For example, don't wash your face more than twice a day, and don't exfoliate more than once a week.
- It'll be good to get facials done by professional, certified beauticians once a month or every 4-6 weeks. You can choose to do your own facials too! The Internet is a great source of facial recipes and tips, and it makes for a fun girly activity you and your gal pals can bond over.
-While you're getting your facial, don't forget to throw in a eyebrow-tweezing session. Some beauty salons include eyebrow-tweezing in their facials. The correct brow shape can open your eyes, brighten your face and make you look happier, all without makeup. Just refrain from overtweezing as the hairs won't grow back as fast as they used to.

Teeth/ Smile
- Go for regular dental checkups, at least once a year. Coffee stains teeth so you might want to cut down on your daily caffeine dose. And don't smoke; not only does it stain teeth in a way that makes coffee seem harmless in relation, it increases your risk of lung cancer among many other diseases you can get from lighting up and puffing away. AND it makes you wrinkle. So STOP smoking.
- Ensure you get enough calcium in your diet to keep your teeth and gums healthy. The body stops stocking up on calcium in the bones after 30, so if you still have time add more calcium-rich foods (such as leafy green vegetables and dairy) into your diet.
- Brush properly. We actually don't need to scrub furiously at our molars. The place to pay attention to is the gums. Dentists recommend holding the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle and lightly brushing it against your gums, to get plaque and stuck food out. Oh, go light on your gums as brushing against them too hard will, yes will, cause receding of the gums. And your teeth may as a result drop off more easily.
- Scrape your tongue. It's a quick and easy way to clear away bacteria and debris settled on your tongue. Your tongue should look pink and not have a whitish layer on it. Plus, scraping your tongue (just use your toothbrush) could be the solution to clear any bad breath problem you may have.
- Dazzle others with teeth-whitening procedures if your budget allows you to. It does wonders for self-confidence; if you look good, you'll feel good and if you feel good, you'll look good. Bling!

Lips
- Use a lip balm, better if with sunscreen, as the skin covering the lips are extremely thin and vulnerable to UV damage, as well as dry weather.

Neck and decolletage
- They're most often neglected in all the focus on the face. But this is exactly why the neck area is often the giveaway spot to revealing your true age. So if you want perfection all over, use a good neck cream and moisturise away. Don't forget sunscreen for the neck too. Simply put, pay attention to the neck area as well.

Same goes for Hands!
- Hands, like the neck, are often neglected. But that's not very wise because not only is the skin on our hands thinner than the rest of our body, the hands are also most exposed to the sun.
- Use a hand cream (better if it's with sunscreen). Try pushing the dishwashing to the dishwasher or the man. If not, use gloves to protect your hands.
- Occasional manicures to pamper yourself don't hurt either!

Body
- Again, moisturise and use sun protection. And for glowing, radiant skin, your diet plays a great part so make sure you have lots of antioxidants in it.
- That's for the external part. The internal part is to exercise and workout regularly. Don't leave out weight-training too; even a little bit can do wonders for your body.
- It's best not to sleep in an air-conditioned room. Not only is it not friendly to the environment, it also dries out skin when you're least aware of it. If your workplace is air-conditioned, drink lots of water to counter the water loss, as well as moisturise your skin with a good body lotion.

Feet
- Pedicures are a great idea. Or you could DIY and use a pumice to scrub off the dead layer of skin on your soles. You could also do feet masks; apply a generous layer to your feet and put on socks overnight.

Laughter
- Julia Roberts has laugh lines but we don't care cos she has a GREAT smile. Plus laugh lines show that you've lived a life well-lived. Laughter releases tension and minimizes stress so you don't unknowingly walk around with a crease in your forehead. Watch comedies, play with your pet, spend time with loved ones. Enjoy your life and it'll show.

Bad Hair Color? Benefit With These Six Easy Tips!

hair color

Most women that I speak with are having good hair color days and critical hair color days.

The critical days can be easily corrected with these tips. I have found most women benefit from these tips, whether they do their hair at their kitchen sink or have it done in the salon.

When needing to cut cost(s), some of you will consider the Drug Store products for "at-home" use rather than the salon. Often times you genuinely believe this is the least costly way for hair color, but you end up finding it much more expensive if you mess it up. When you don't get just the right shade...or the ends are darker than you wanted them, you will need to call the salon to fix them. Yes! The Box does typically cost about $12.95, however, you could mess it up!

You will know what I am saying if you have ever tried to cut your own hair at home. You might even have sad memories of watching the big gash you made grow out. With bad hair cuts you can change a part, or your hair style, until it grows out. But when bad hair color shows up, much more vividly than you wanted, it demands being fixed.

Some will say "Oh! It's not the money, it's finding the time." Often we seem to find the right time for everyone else but not find time for ourselves. This can change with the following.

Others will say, "Well I spend the money and I have my roots done every month, but my hair always seems to look dried out." This can be fixed with small changes.

Tips for Good Hair Color Days:

These easy steps will help you get the most complementary results with hair color, whether you're enhancing your natural born locks with a bottle of color yourself...or going to the professional.

Time:

First, take some time for yourself to relax and simply care for just you. Second, if going to the hair salon, book your appointment early in the day or late in the afternoon (before and after the crowd). You won't have to wait because the professional isn't running late, which could happen in a busy salon.

Money:

Take into consideration the full cost of the hair color service before you schedule it. Explore the exact service you want. At first, choose a simple process that will fit into your budget and your way of life. This can always change when your available budget changes. If you do choose to go the "at-home" way, be sure you follow the directions closely and don't change your hair color more than 1-2 shades the first time. Also, save the box top and remember your shade for the next time.

Process:

When you know what you want you will save time and money. If you have never colored your hair before, it will generally cost a lot less if you're only wishing to add an "all over" luster. It will cost much more if you want to go from dark brown to light blonde (see the professional for this). Highlights and Lowlights will also cost much more than an average one process color. Corrective ...bring a big check. The free consultation will eliminate the guess work about the processes needed for all hair color services.

Free Consultation:

Always go to the salon for a free consultation before you do your hair color or decide to do your hair at home. During this time with the professional, you will find out just what shade of color will most compliment your skin tone and the exact cost of the service ...and just how long it will take. You get all of this valuable information for free. This could save you a lot of money and a lot of heartache.

Hair Condition:

The good and the bad of it. If you were born with beautiful healthy hair, it will generally keep the over all shine and health through out your hair color services. But, if you have dry or ultra thin hair to start with, you could have continues dryness after hair color. If your hair is dry after color try, these simple steps, before you color your own hair or have the service in the salon.

• Condition every week with a rich treatment or conditioner. If you feel it will make your "fine hair" more limp, rinse with warmer water. Also, choose the treatment that is non- oily.
• Before you color your hair, use a treatment and rinse it out, and dry your hair. You can do this yourself or ask the colorist to do it. This will help retain the moisture in the hair shaft and protect it from the color chemicals.

After your hair color service use a "leave in" conditioner. This will help retain the moisture until the next shampoo. Almost all professional companies that sell in the hair salon, or beauty supply, sell these products.

Last Word:

Beautiful hair color doesn't have to be difficult. Always start with small steps and then move into the more involved processes. This will help alleviate the stress color mistakes create and keep you in your hair color budget. Remember... all you are looking for is beautiful hair color this may take time.

Hairstyles For Chubby Women - Exploring Do's and Don'ts

women hairstyle

Every now and then, one can see many women exploring the fashion related writings to find a suitable hairstyle for them. And they tend to find the very desired hairstyles galore.

But what if the same hairstyle-hunt is done by some chubby women? Would these chubby women be lucky enough to find some suitable hairstyles?

Even if you take a number of pauses to count all the hairstyles for a chubby women, you may come to see that you have got very few clues.

However, by the time you happen to finish the following lines, you may have many such clues.

Say No To Short : Refrain from getting your hair shorter in length. Unlike long hair, the short hair makes chubby or round face look extra chubby.

Long Never Means "Too Long" : But "long" doesn't mean here to give it a below-shoulder length. Anything touching your shoulders or just above them will be enough to do a wonder.

Say No to Straight Hair Straightway : However, keeping long hair doesn't mean that you will keep it as straight as a stick. Better you give it a curly look. The "curly" type makes a fascinating match with a chubby shape.

Layers, If not Curly : But it could be a possibility that you might not be able to digest a "curly" one. So getting your hair layered can be the best solution. But it is always feasible to have the layers at the front only.

Pretty Pony : Even I have seen many chubby women going for ponytails. Though it is amazing to see whenever they use this particular hairstyle, they do not forget to prefer high ponytails.It looks nice with any type of fashion apparel.

Unique Updos : Apart from ponytails, if you love updos then it is one of the best options to frame your chubby face. But wait... There is something more you have to use with it. The updos should not pull whole of the hair bunch up on the head. It may make you look chubbier. So make sure some curly strands are falling down only to cover you cheeks. This will make you look slimmer.

Use Hairspray : It is ironical that many times chubby women, a sheer contrast, may develop thin hair. Then it becomes tough to retain the layers for long time, so it is advisable to use hairspray, one of the mostly used hair care products. The sprays holds it carefully.

Excellent Extensions : Further, the thin hair is probably the most unwanted thing for a chubby face. Why? They expose the chubbiness even more. So to defy this thinness, you may try to make your hair look a bit "chubby". Strange it sounds! Try hair extensions. Remember please, the fuller your hair, the slimmer your looks!

Bobcut Too Buries Chubbiness : Most people think that getting a bobcut done on hair is always adventurous for a chubby women, so do I. While sporting a bobcut, you successfully end hiding your chubby looks on the face. It is great to see the tips of your hair covering whole of your face and touching your chins.

Perfect Bridal Hairstyles For A Beautiful Winter Wedding

bridal hairstyle

Many people choose to have their weddings in spring or early summer and the most popular month to tie the knot is June. That being said, many people do choose to marry in winter despite the weather. However, sometimes it can be harder to look your best during the winter months. The chances are you won't have much of a tan anymore and for some of us the cold weather and central heating can cause skin and hair to become dry. Therefore, if you are planning a winter wedding you need to start your hair and beauty regime now.

Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. Extra moisturisation can keep hair and skin looking good during the winter months and ensure that you look radiant on your big day. If you are planning a winter wedding and looking for the perfect hairstyle, here are some ideas and inspiration.

If you have fine, short hair, the cold winter air can cause static for fine hair. In order to keep your hair neat try a sleek wedding hairstyle. This is achieved by parting the hair on the side and using a little styling gel on slightly damp hair to lock it in place. Use your fingers to gently style hair away from the face. If needed, gently spray with hairspray. To make this look a little more interesting try adding a pretty flower comb or a sparkly barrette to compliment your gown.

Long hair can also suffer from dryness and static in the winter chill. The best way to avoid any hair disasters is to opt for a coifed, wavy winter wedding hairstyle. Make sure your hair is freshly washed and divide it into sections, curling each section gently with a curling iron. Use your fingers to separate the curls and finish with hair spray to keep your style in place. If your hair is really straight then try using a curling mousse before drying.

A winter wedding is a great occasion to do something unique with your hair style. The winter weather means that you can opt for more elaborate wedding fashions and experiment with rich and different colours. Try accessorising with feathers or an intricately designed barrette to really lift your wedding style.

Shiny accessories such as crystals or pearls go perfectly with a wintry setting, especially if you are looking to create a winter wonderland effect. Adorn your hair with delicate crystals or pearl hair accessories that will look beautiful sparkling in the light. Simply attach pearl beads to ordinary grips for a beautiful winter wedding hair style. This can work with an updo or a loose style.

Whatever wedding hairstyle you opt for, make sure you are completely happy with it and you are sure to dazzle at your winter wedding day!

Styling from wet will help to create the best looking styles. Run the gel or wax through your hair and work your fingers to create defined shapes and pointed ends.

Do You Have Long Hair? Here Are Some Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for You

bridal hairstyle

All brides would like to look their best on their wedding day. This is precisely the reason why they go on diets, visit the spa, have hair treatments and do other things prior to the wedding to make them look their most radiant on their big day. One of the biggest factors to looking your best as a bride is selecting the perfect wedding dress and pairing it with a suitable hairstyle.

In most cases, brides say that they intuitively know when they've found the perfect wedding dress. The cut of the dress should first clue you in as to which bridal hairstyle would suit your best. If you are wearing a bridal gown with a strapless bodice, you will show off its cut by wearing an elegant updo. However, you can still wear your hair down as long as it is styled elegantly. For those who are wearing gowns with short or long sleeves or a particular neckline, there are also hairstyles for brides which can be worn to showcase the cut of the dress.

Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Long Hair

Aside from the cut of the dress, another factor that you need to take into consideration when deciding which hairstyle to wear is the length of your locks. If you have short hair, you can have it styled in a contemporary manner as it highlights the bridal jewelry or accessories which you are planning to wear.

If you have long hair, then there are plenty of romantic hairstyles that will suit you. You can basically wear them in a stick-straight style or with romantic curls, as well as in sleek updos or loose, flowing hairstyles.

Stick-Straight or Romantic Curls?

First, let's compare stick-straight hairstyles with romantic curls. If you have always worn your hair in its curly, natural state and you would like to look different on your wedding day, you can have your long hair straightened out temporarily. By taming your curls, the frame of your face and the elegant cut of your dress will be highlighted.

Meanwhile, romantic curls have always been a favorite hairstyle option for both brides and their bridesmaids. Whether you are planning to hold the wedding reception in a formal evening affair or as a charming daytime event, you can use a romantic, curly hairstyle which perfectly suits the occasion. When making a selection between the two, just make sure to consider the natural texture of your hair and talk with your stylist about whether a particular hairstyle would work for your locks.

Sleek Updos or Loose Hairstyles?

Next, how do you take your pick from sleek updos or loose hairstyles? Again, the factors that you need to consider include the time of the day that the wedding will be held; the season of the year; the theme of your wedding; the cut of your dress; and the length of your hair. The good news is that if you always wear your hair long, you can easily transform your locks into a sleek updo or a loose, flowing hairstyle.

A final tip to keep in mind is that you should always have a practice session with your stylist days prior to the wedding. By doing so, you can make certain adjustments with your hairstyle in case your initial choice does not look as good as you imagined it would when paired with your gown and bridal accessories.

All About Cute Men's Hairstyles That Work

Cute Hairstyle

The adage that hair is an individuals' crowning glory is most commonly used among women. However, it is quite false to think that it works for the ladies alone. Men can benefit quite a lot from having a glorious mane to flaunt. Deciding on what cute men's hairstyles is best for someone takes a number of factors to be carefully considered.

Men of the present generation are becoming more wary and fussy about their own locks. Whether brown-haired or black locks, there are definitely certain hairstyles a guy can choose from.

For lengthy hair, one can choose from a number of options. The classic and simple ponytail never loses its charm. One can also go for braids and dreadlocks. Another great choice is to just let the hair down. Doing this can give out that plain Jane look or a classy and clean appearance by just adding an exquisite hair accessory.

Short hairstyles are also cute. Whether it is a medium fringe, which works with a lot of layering, or a cropped cut, the most important consideration is the effect of the hairstyle on one's overall facial appearance.

In determining the best hairstyle to suit an individual, ample consideration should be placed on basic things like one's facial structure. Certain styles are more attractive on round faces than on longer ones. More so, there are specific styling techniques that help put one's asset in the center of the whole view. The individual's practical needs should also be noted of. Basically, the wash and wear styles are more preferred by men because of the convenience in maintaining them.

Hairstyles are the perfect addition to complete the desired look. With the right hair styling techniques, one can achieve even the most unique overall appearance. The whole task might be quite a handful at first, but nothing can go wrong with continuous practice.

Prom Hairstyles for Long Hair

For high school students, a prom night becomes one of the most important events in their high school life because it is the night where female students turn into young adult women while male students turn into young adult men. Since the night is very important for both girls and boys, they certainly want to look gorgeous during the night. For this purpose, girls usually choose the best prom dresses.

If you go to a salon they will be able to create the curl if your hair isn't curly enough. They will most likely use hair clips, a blow dryer, and a 2 inch brush to do this.

After you get your hair done, you will need to maintain it. Wear a scarf when you sleep to avoid messing your hair up. In the morning use a pomade, gel, or spray to give your hair the hold and shine you desire. That's it - with these tips you can get your Halle Berry on in no time!

Hairstyles For Winter Weddings

The perfect hairstyle will literally be your crowning glory on your wedding day. It is important to choose a "do" which complements your bridal gown style, veil, and your bridal jewelry. Take a look at these trends for elegant hairstyles for winter weddings.

Winter weddings are inherently a bit more formal than summer ones. At no other time of the year do people dress as festively as around the winter holidays. This feeling of elegance should extend to your bridal hairstyle as well. Leave the messy beach hair for the summer months, and opt for a cold weather hairdo that is polished and sophisticated. You will also want to opt for fabulous crystal bridal jewelry and a sparkling headpiece to coordinate.

The ultimate in bridal chic this year is a smooth low updo gathered slightly to one side. Have your stylist make it very polished with a serum or pomade to combat the dry flyaway hair that plagues most of us during the winter months. A low side part will add to the style of this elegant bridal hairdo. The perfect finishing touch is a fabulous little cage veil with a feathered accent. Pair with crystal bridal jewelry such as dazzling chandelier earrings, and wear with a slinky silk wedding gown.

Braids are back in style for brides. A low braided bun is a very romantic hairdo for a winter bride. It is a nice variation on the smooth low sideswept updo. Because the wrapping of the braids will add a nice texture, keep the front of the hair simple and position the bun in the center, not asymmetrically. For bridal hair jewelry, either tuck a jeweled comb into one side of the braided bun, or decorate with a scattering of sparkling hairpins. This would be a beautiful hairstyle to complement a romantic lace bridal gown.

The classic French twist is also making a comeback, as brides return to more elegant hairstyles after several years of messy 'dos. One of the great things about a French twist is that it does not require long hair like many other updos. Medium length hair works just as well for this sophisticated style, as long as it is not too layered. Since your hair will be entirely off your shoulders, take the opportunity to showcase some really spectacular bridal jewelry, like long crystal drop earrings or a multi-strand pearl necklace. Tuck hairpins or a small spray of white feathers into the side of the twist to finish it perfectly.

Brides who wish to wear their hair down this winter should opt for a very smooth hairstyle. Large soft waves with a shiny finish (think Veronica Lake, minus the hair falling over one eye) are ideal. A statement making jeweled headband is the ideal accessory for this hairdo. If you plan to wear a veil, consider a double headband because you can anchor the veil's comb between the two bands for more security. This youthful and radiant wedding hairstyle is lovely with a satin or taffeta ballgown or a more simple A-line gown with a touch of beading. The effect will be timeless and elegant - definitely a winning winter wedding hairstyle!

Long Hair and Updo Hairstyles

Cute Hairstyle

You have straight hair and you are ready for an updo or "long hair" service and you go to a full service salon and what - they don't offer "long hair" service. Guess its not so full service after all. So you go to another beautician and they don't know what to do either. Why is that? Some of the reasons hairstylists don't offer "long hair" or updo service is because:

None of their clients have long hair
Never learned how
Takes too long
Learned, tried it, but got out of practice and forgot
Too confusing

To the hairstylist, watching is easy. But when you are actually doing the work, it becomes confusing. It's hard for a hairstylist to get and keep clients. If you are able to offer total hair services, including long hair, then you'll be keeping new clients instead of sending them away. One way to help you get over some of the points listed above is to practice on a wig or mannequin. When you are in-between appointments, this will offer you practice to gain confidence and allows you to display your work to your customers.

If you are good at long hair, then you need to be the hairstylist that your competitors send their customers to. Advertise that you do long hair. There are plenty that don't do long hair and this approach may get you the client list you need.

Let the bridal shops know you are available, along with the formal dress shops. Girls going to prom always want fancy hairstyles. Offer your services free to the bridal show as a promotion for your business. This helps you gain more updo customers and helps the bridal shop. Win-win.

You can also create a photo album of the mannequins you have been practicing on, or on customers. This will give prospective customers your ability and creativity level. Another idea is to work with a clothing store on their special event or sale days - and offer your services to attract customers. You can make these books up inexpensively with a digital camera and color copies. Have them bound with some of your business cards and ask if you can display them at the bridal shops.

Complimentary cards are very good, too. You can offer a discount on the back of the card. When a client gets their hair done, then give them some cards to hand out when they are asked where they got such a cute hairstyle. This works especially well at high schools before proms and dances. As always, if they don't need long hair services, they will probably pass the card onto a friend.

How much should you charge or expect to pay for long hair or updo services? Well, its different all over the country, but in general, the price should be at least $5 over the normal hairstyle whether it's a shampoo and blowdry. Be prudent in your pricing as if you get a client that will only require 15 minutes for a braid or a quick updo, then you may not want to charge more.
