Why The Blog ?

Hello,

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Finding Everyday Beauty was created with my valued clients in mind. But it’s for everyone!

salon is a gathering of people under the roof of a host, held partly to amuse one another, to refine the taste, and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation … either to please or to educate.  

Finding Everyday Beauty is an extension of this..  An online salon, with emphasis on finding real everyday beauty in all of us while having fun doing it! Monday posts will be style inspirations.Wednesdays are all about promotions!!!  don’t miss those posts…they will be for you!  Friday’s posts will be for the fun of it.

I will show you styles, hoping to inspire you to try on your own at home or with me at the salon. I will answer questions, update you on trends,  new services, promotions, schedule changes and much more.

In the mean time some new addition to my color arsenal, Organic Hair Care Systems and let me know if you want to give it a try.  Scarlet extensions, another great product that makes changing your look a lot of fun is coming soon. Please feel free and get in touch with any questions, comments or ideas about the blog.

Summer lovin ‘

Yes, I do love summer!  Bring on ….  the sun, longer days with no routine, summer reads, and trips away.  This past weekend marked high school graduation’s in our town, those babies will soon be off to college, and less than two weeks until to the end of school year for everyone ( Thank God ).

I can’t wait!

For today a couple great looks going into the summer …. the high bun for whiling away on the beach or a night on the town.  And the textured layered haircut that gives wave to your hair when left undone ( yes even when it’s straight ), and when styled you have a great summer look!

Every summer has a story. ♥

Hair passion.

Monday is here & this is a great look to try on this week.  The side swept pony is refreshing, has passion, & style.  It’s easy to do, check out Foxy’s how-to video below.  She is using clip-in extensions but you don’t need them to get this look.  Follow her lead, get to work, and look great while you do it!

The most beautiful makeup for women is passion….

Weekend love.

I hope you have an awesome Memorial Day & weekend.  Hopefully you are headed out-of-town, hanging out with friends or just relaxing.   Today is my last day at the salon for the week and I’m looking forward to letting my hair down with some girlfriends.

As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation’s wars.

The beauty in everything.

 I am feeling inspired by these looks today & this poem.

Beauty

And a poet said, Speak to us of beauty……

We have seen her leaning over the earth

From the windows of the sunset….

She shall come with the spring

Leaping upon the hills

And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.

It is not a mouth thirsting

Nor an empty hand stretched forth,

But rather a heart inflamed

And a soul enchanted.

It is not an image you would see

Nor the song you would hear;

But rather an image you see though

You close your eyes and a song you hear

Though you shut your ears.

It is not the sap within the furrowed bark,

Nor a wing attached to claw,

But rather a garden forever in bloom

And a flock of angels forever in flight.

Beauty is life

When life unveils her holy face.

But you are life and you are the veil.

Beauty is eternity gazing

 at itself in a mirror,

But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

Kahil Gibran

Orb, Verrazan, & Rosie

Whether you are barside or at the races placing bets … mint juleps, hats & hairstyles … that charm will be making an appearance today at the 139th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Here are some sure bets for your hair with or without the hat.

Oh & gotta love Rosie.
Have an awesome weekend.
XO Carey

Man Style

Oh yes, sideburns have no boundaries.  Race car drivers, politicians, comedians, musicians, athletes, and heart throbs alike sport this look. I’m not sure which one I like the best, but they all get points for the super manly quality added to their hairstyle by working the burns.

Life is too short to be little.  Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor.
~ Benjamin Disraeli

Have a beautiful weekend. It’s a great time to test out growing in these looks.

A one dimensional view.

Unknown-2

Mirror mirror on the wall…

Your friend and/or your enemy.

After years of watching clients sit in my chair, talk about their hair, their frustrations with it, the things they like, don’t like or don’t want to change. There is always a moment when you notice how a person sees themselves in a one-dimensional mirror. How this flat perspective can be deceiving to the person on the other side.

First, most people do not get this flat view, or see you when your chin is down or when you’re looking at yourself with a tilt of your head, focused on things you don’t like. With mirror’s and photograph’s we build our ideas of how we look and yes to some degree they are true.

This view is hardly ever animated with a true smile, a look of happiness, compassion, or eyes filled with moment. Which is how the rest of the world gets to see you. From the side, from the back, from all the angles and more than that … you … caught in a moment; whatever that moment may be. These moments are always a perspective mostly unseen by you.

I’ve never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.

I wrote this post ages ago not ready to publish it when I saw this video it completed my thinking.

We all have wanted them.

” I am thinking about bangs?”

“Side swept, straight across, heavy bangs or light?”

I’m not sure, I have just been thinking about them, What would look best?”

We have all wanted them. Most of us have tried them at least once, bangs were a hot topic this week in the salon. Maybe because of Michelle Obama or spring is making people antsie for change. I love bangs and I say go for it! But unless your Taylor Swift they usually work like this. You get them cut, you love them for at least the first two weeks, and then your trying to figure out ways to brush them back with the rest of your hair.

Suggestions Bobby pins are cute, head bands, alot of hairspray, embrace & enjoy them they still look great.
