Recreate the Look: How to Ask Your Stylist for These Popular Styles

Browsing through your Instagram feed, it happens: you see a hairstyle that captivates your inner fashionista. After a week of studying this new ‘do, you officially decide it looks perfect from every angle and you simply have to have it. You book an appointment at Inscape Beauty Salon and count the minutes until it arrives. At last, you find yourself seated in a plush salon chair and gleefully present a photo to your stylist. Your stylist studies it and instantly translates the style into a slew of technical terms. Rest assured, experienced stylists can always explain these terms. However, understanding this hair-specific lingo and being prepared with photos can certainly help you feel at ease before undergoing a drastic change:

Bob with Bangs

There are endless types of bobs, however, and it is important to understand which one you are seeking. Inverted bobs will leave the locks in front drastically longer than the back while a “lob” is a cut that leaves your hair at around shoulder length. To get the trendiest bob style, ask your stylist for precise, blunt lines and includes a heavy, equally blunt fringe.

Long Pixie

This year, the long pixie is all the rage and for a good reason: it requires very little maintenance and looks fantastically chic. To recreate the modern pixie look, ask your stylist for an asymmetrical undercut with tapered edges and long, layered bangs.

The New 70’s Shag

To get the look, ask your stylist for plenty of soft (not choppy) layers. The 70's shag generally had a length that extended to the collarbone but the more subtle, contemporary twist leaves plenty of room for a customized length. To complete the shaggy ‘do, advise your stylist to cut wispy bangs that graze the eyebrows but are longer towards the sides of the face.

Color Melt

We've all seen it taking over Pinterest and Instagram: the impeccable hair color that almost imperceptibly showcases three different hues. You can’t quite tell where one starts and the next begins, but it isn't an ombre, a balayage or a sombre. This trend is known as a color melt. Unlike the previously mentioned color trends, color melting consists of three different shades. If you want to recreate this look, ask your stylist to subtly blend three different hues in the same color family.

Curtain Fringe

Bangs are back! This year the focus is on the curtain fringe which is a much more low-commitment look than the blunt bangs noted over the last few years. Ask your stylist to cut your fringe the shortest where you part your hair and angle them down subtly on each side.

Rose Brown

Blondes had all of the fun last year with the rose gold trend, but rose brown is rising in popularity. To achieve this highly sought after hue, being armed with a photo is key as the intensity of the color can vary greatly. In either case, this shade is achieved by mixing bleach with brown and red shades.

Copper Reds

Copper red hues are having a moment in a big way. From muffled down strawberry blondes to full on fiery red, the key to nailing this style all comes down to the tone. If you’re aiming for a copper red color, stress the importance of adding warmth to the color to attain the latest trends red.

Icy Blonde

Daydreaming about long platinum strands? Platinum is here to stay and it’s cooler than ever. Icy blonde hair features no brassy hues, making it more reminiscent of white hair than of honey blonde shades. This transformation, depending on your base color, may take some time. Be sure to advise your stylist that you are seeking a cool-toned white blonde and again, pictures are worth a thousand words when it comes to re-creating a hairstyle.

Au Naturel

One of the biggest trends of 2018 from the posh runways to busy streets is embracing individuality. If you want to own your natural locks, this doesn’t mean you have to skip the salon. Instead, ask your stylist for a trim and rejuvenating treatment to improve the health, texture or manageability of your organic style.

Summer Hair Trends in Fashion Hotspots: Miami, New York and Los Angeles

Each year, Fashion Week events in Paris, Milan, London and New York set the pace for emerging trends in the prestige world of designer fashion, premium cosmetics and lavish hair. These cutting-edge styles influence everyone from Instagram moguls to A-list celebrities and the rest of the world quickly follows suit. While not everyone is bold enough to pull off the neon orange eyeliner or ultra-couture gowns, the hair styles spotted on these runways are surprisingly practical. From Miami to Los Angeles, the fashion hotspots across the U.S. are offering their own twist on these fresh-off the runway hair trends:

Miami

No city in the world does summer quite like Miami. With pool parties galore, endless sunshine and beautiful beaches, it comes as no surprise that Miami hair salons have their own take on the hair styles spotted on fashion runways. Here, humidity often plays a key role in the style that fashionistas opt to wear during the summer months. Fortunately, hair salons in Florida have embraced one of the most notable hair trends as seen in Paris and Milan: embracing individuality. Instead of trying to tame wild curls or waves, many fashion-savvy individuals in Miami are sporting more natural locks. This means tousled beachy waves and loose natural curls are all the rage. For a day at the beach, a low-slung ponytail embellished with a thin ribbon or a simple halo braid embrace the latest fads while helping to beat the heat. As for color, harsh ombres appear to be on their way out while more natural balayage and baby light styles are taking the center stage throughout each Florida hair salon.

New York

New York City is one of the great fashion capitals of the world. Although runway shows in the city draw in jetsetters from the opposite ends of the globe, there is a substantial difference between hair styles that are popular on the runway and ones that are raved about on the busy city streets. Much like in Miami, the styles that hone in on simplicity are key for the summer of 2018. Chin length bobs, finger waves and adding a small amount of product to embrace the natural texture of hair are all top choices for beauty icons. For the more daring fashion enthusiasts, neon hair tones ranging from yellow to blue are also still seeing an influx of interest after their bold presence at the Jeremy Scott fashion show earlier this year.

Los Angeles

For a destination most commonly identified by the outside world by its laid-back vibe, Los Angeles’ top summer hair trends are surprisingly more complex than those in other regions. One of the hottest trends in L.A. for the summer is a haircut which has been dubbed “the French girl” cut. A classic bob cut to lip length and paired with short, blunt bangs, dozens of celebrities have been seen sporting this minimal maintenance hairdo in recent months. This is still L.A., however, and beachy waves, big curls and otherwise textured hair still has its place in 2018. When it comes to color, L.A. is following suit with top Florida hair salons and perfecting subtle sun-kissed balayage and baby lights methods.

From Miami to L.A., the summer of 2018 is full of trendy styles that can accommodate any personal flair. Contemplating a chic new cut or color? Book an appointment with one of our trendsetting stylists right here in Davie, Florida.

9 Things To Avoid When Looking For A New Hair Salon In Florida

So you are dissatisfied with your hairdresser for whatever reason and you are now in the hunt for a new hair salon but, the worst thing you can do is to rush this decision. Do you rush to see a new doctor or dentist, or do you do your research? Well guess what, the health of your hair matters too. Your hair is your glory ladies, it can either make you look great or like a dud.

If you care about the health of your hair in wanting it to shine and give you the best possible glamorous look and so, here are the Top 9 Things To Avoid When Looking For A New Hair Salon In Florida:

1. The worst thing you can do is to choose a hair salon based on price. Quality hairdressers and service are not cheap and so if the prices seem too good to be true then chances are, the quality of the service is far discounted too.

2. Never step into a salon that's unregistered from the State of Florida, you are asking for problems.

3. Do not choose a hair salon because it is popular on social media. Ae you aware that likes and followers can be bought? The images displayed on their site may not be their work.

4. Avoid selecting a new hair salon where it's like everyone that goes in comes out looking like they shared the same mould. The worst thing is everybody's color and style is the same. At Inscape Beauty Salon, color is our speciality. With L'ORÉAL Expert Colorists, your hair will thank you.

5. Never choose a new hair salon where the hairdressers have way too much down time, to eat, go through magazines, talk on the phone, they will forget about the color they put on your hair.

6. Why choose a hair salon where you can never get an appointment and it's not because the salon is busy but, the hairdressers spent more time away than they do at the salon.

7. The worst thing is to go into a salon and there is a Puppy roaming free. He's cute and cuddly but it's unhygienic. Attention will be in the dog, not you.

8. Do you think you deserve quality service when it comes to your hair? Never choose a hair salon where doing a consultation, is not a priority because, it is.

9. Red flag if customers complain that the hairdresser doesn't know the difference between taking off two inches and ten inches. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
