hair how-to: frizz-free curls

Keep your curl with this foolproof (and frizz-proof) recipe:
1} Spray damp hair all over with Tonic Lotion. 2} Work Defining Creme through hair. Start at the nape and move toward the front of the hair.
3} Squeeze while letting air-dry.
4} Once dry, don't touch (one of the biggest causes of frizz!) Pin It

how-to: Ombre Nails

You may have noticed the ladies of Salon K are having a major love affair with the ombre hair trend! Well we can now spread our obsession to our nails! We can thank Lauren Conrad for this trend, she was spotted in LA with a red to pink ombre.
So what exactly are ombre nails? It's a manicure using 5 different polishes of the same tone that graduate from light to dark. Paint the darkest color on your thumb and finish with the lightest color on your pinky. Make sure you pick colors that truly show a graceful progression from one shade to the next so the ombre looks intentional (not like you randomly threw colors on). We want to try it this weekend!

Hollywood Redheads

From siren to strawberry redheads have been popping up all over Hollywood. Hayley Williams and Rihanna have gone with the bold siren red. Looks great on them but it's definitely not for timid!
When we think of redheads we can't help but think of Christina Hendricks. We've said it before and we'll say it again, we LOVE her color!

Isla Fisher always looks lovely with her natural auburn waves.

With all eyes on the royal wedding we couldn't help but notice Princess Beatrice (how could we not with that pink bow fascinator?!). When you look past her amazing hats your will notice her more amazing auburn locks. Her natural-looking ombre keeps her hair fresh and fun but still proper.

New to the redhead scene are Drew Barrymore and Blake Lively. Drew is a color chameleon but we hope she sticks with this red for awhile, it looks great with her skin tone.

Blake lively debuted her red hair last month and proved that she can do no wrong! She colored it for a movie so expect to see her signature blonde locks back in no time.

Met Gala 2011: HAIR

The Met Costume Gala brought out Hollywood's hottest celebs with the most amazing dresses and HAIR! Here are a few of our favorite 'do's of the night. Starting with Blake Lively (who never seems to disappoint) who's blonde locks are perfectly smooth with the right amount of bend and curl.


Gwyneth also kept her hair down but went a little more beachy. We love showing off our natural texture, especially come summer time.

Keeping hair down seemed to be a big trend of the evening. Michelle Monaghan updated her look with blunt bangs, her dark hair looks gorgeous against that highlighter pink dress!

We LOVED Ginnifer Goodwin's pixie cut!

Dianna Agron kept it chic and simple with a beautiful pulled back pony. This is a great look for after the pool this summer.

Royal Wedding Hair

Ok ok you are probably sick of hearing about the Royal Wedding but we couldn't help but give a little shout out to Racoon International. Richard Ward Salon & Metro Spa styled Kate Middleton's hair for her big day. When working with Racoon, Richard Ward had this to say: "When we decided the time was right to provide hair extensions in our salon, we selected Racoon International as they were streets ahead on professionalism, backup, and training. The system enables our stylists to create wearable and desirable styles."
Whether you're looking for a full head of nice long hair or a few extensions around your face to blend some breakage, Racoon is the way to go. We do free extension consultations at Salon K so stop in and we can tell you more about them! Pin It
