ISO’s Metal.lux Collection

In celebration of having fabulous ISO educators at Studio 9 Salon this week, I thought I would share ISO’s latest color collection with you, Metal.lux. I was very impressed with this color line, and I even have one of their reds on my hair right now. ISO says: Warm, gold tones melt sensuously into the [...]
Updo Season… are you ready?

Well, I’m exhausted. Do you know why? Its May. From the beginning of April to the end of October, it is officially updo season at Studio 9 Salon. Most of my days are filled with updos, curls, or formal makeup. BUT I LOVE IT! Updo’s are some of my favorite hairstyles to do. We get [...]
Geek Chic
I’ve been following the “Geek Chic” big, dorky glasses look for some time. I finally gave in and decided to try it. I bought a pair (that wasn’t as big as my own glasses from 1995) and wore them around Chicago. Other Chic Geeks: Have you tried this trend yet? What do you think of [...]
Kelsey’s extensions
When I asked my sister what she wanted for her birthday, she said, “I just want long hair!” I laughed to myself and had the perfect idea: Hair extensions! Kelsey’s hair was recently just chopped off to shoulder length. She hadbeen trying to grow her hair out for years, but her ends were completley dead [...]
Lauren’s Extensions!
I am such a fan of rockin’ my short hair, but there are times where I wish I could change it up and play with different trends, and this weekend– I did! I took tracks of bleach blonde human hair, colored them to mach my hair, and glued them into my pixie cut for a [...]
Seriously, wear a big bow.

Lindsey’s funky new lowlights
One of my clients, Lindsey, said to me on the first day we met: “I will always be changing my hair when I come in.” We had a talk today about it, and I love Lindsey’s way of thinking! She says that if she is going to come in and pay for a change, she [...]
Celebrities do the new Rocker Shave
Ever since I saw TIGI’s Rockaholic looks in Chicago in March, I have been waiting for someone to rock their hair out and shave a random piece. I just never thought it would be Cassie or Carmen. Maybe Rhianna or some rock person, though. …Not a trend I’ll be doing anytime soon… But I’d love [...]
HOT NAIL COLOR
Can you pull this off? You sure can! Its almost summer! And it is so fun to have Neon Yellow Nails!!!! Although it is kind of trippy to type really fast with them on a black keyboard… It’s a color from China Glaze that I borrowed from Gena– called Celtic Sun from their INK collection [...]
Prom Season
It’s that time of year! Prom season! The dresses, the shoes, the makeup, the diamonds, and of course… THE HAIR! I remember when I was looking for amazing up-do’s for my formal dances. I could not find a good website with a prom gallery. So I’d like to give you my top 26 (Couldn’t choose [...]
Scene Hair
A little over a year ago, I was introduced to “scene hair”, or “emo hair”. A MySpace trend. I see the style a lot in younger girls now, and I think it is fun and flashy. Not just for MySpace anymore. The scene haircuts (that I have done) are about long, thin, pin-straight length, and [...]

However, consider your lifestyle and personality before you choose which blonde you will have the most fun with. Highlights can be a great [...]
