YES!! This summer just won`t quit! Thank goodness! I mean we are getting away with wearing shorts out there still! CRAZY! Anyway, hopefully you are all enjoying this amazing weather and taking it in for all that its worth. I have a great question to answer today for a guest who has been quite patient in waiting for my reply! Let`s get to it!...
"I have short, relatively thick, grey hair. My stylist left my current salon. Because the owner feels “short cuts are easy”, I have been assigned on the last two occasions to new hairstylists. Neither gave me the look I like/asked for: quite short and funky/spiky. I think short cuts are tough to do. My hair likes to grow forward and I have 4 cowlicks to contend with. This last cut gave me what I call a “Caesar-like” look. Can you recommend me to the best stylist Evoke (Eglinton & Yonge) has for short hair? I’d like to take Sara up on her enthusiastic recommendation and thought I would take advantage of your Q&A blog to find the right stylist for me".
I can for sure! I would recommend that you check out Ergys Tafilica as your go to guy! He is AWESOME when it comes to creating short, textured looks that have an edge to them. Ergys is our senior most stylist at the Yonge and Eglinton location and has worked for the company for 8 years now. He is stylist to Rick Campanelli of ET Canada has earned a reputation for being and industry leader with his eclectic collection of Trendsetting edgy cuts that set the bar for cutting edge fashion. A real people person with a penchant for change and progression, I think you would not only have a great time being in Ergys` chair but also really love the finished product! Hope that helped and please let me know how it goes Lorraine! Thanks again for your question and sorry for my tardy response!
So I was asked a very basic question the other day which I thought was a great one. I was asked what I thought was the trendiest look out there right now. An awesome question because I really feel like the latest video we put out there as a salon kinda answers that question for me all at once! Here is the exact question and our video answer!...
"Hi my name is Jessica, I live right here in Toronto and I have started to see quite a few funky cuts on the street. I am the type of girl who loves to do edgy looks and was just curious what you thought the latest trend was for cuts?"
I think this video will definitely answers Jess` question well! Check it out and email me your questions at dimauro.jon@gmail.com!
Remember Docs? What about the Plaid shirts we used to tie around our waists? Or do you remember Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, hole, and so on and so forth! I remember a lot about the nineties, and all of it I loved! However, the one thing I remember most, is the thing I was so attached to... My undercut. Oh yeah, I used to LOVE my undercut! I rocked it for like two years! Thank goodness it`s made its comeback because it`s such a cool look. So edgy and trendy, I love it on both men and women and in all its variations. Check out this amazing version below done by Ashley Nurisso at our Bloor location the other day.
Over the last three months I would say that I have about 6 guests that I have personally introduced some form of under cutting to. Men and women alike, this look attracts and inspires both. I remember having my sides and back buzzed to a 1 or 2 maximum! that`s pretty short folks! I would then leave the top much longer and slick it back with a Dippity Do medium hold gel. On winter days I remember my hair freezing on the way to 9 o`clock homeroom!
Anyway Under cuts are back HUGE, and you may have noticed as many stars and musicians are starting to adopt the look (Rihanna). I think it`s a look that might be around for a little while considering that we are just now seeing people begin to be daring enough to take it back old school! Speaking of school, that to me is an indication of just how long I think this trend will last. I think this will for sure be this spring and summer`s hottest trend, leading us right up till back to school.
Have fun with your hair and rock this look because it won`t be around that long and then you will have to wait another 20 years to get it back! So pulled out that old plaid and those doc`s. Clean the dust off those cassettes and bring it back, because we really loved the 90`s for all they were! A rockin good time with great music, relaxed clothing, and some damn good hair gel!
