A Guy's Point of View– Long hair VS Short hair
(In response to Lauren’s recent post, Long Hair: Is it the Ugly Truth?) As someone that also seen The Ugly Truth, I have to agree with some of the things said in Lauren’s interviews with men. (By the way, As for my hair preferences, I like brunettes and red heads over blondes. I prefer someone [...]
Lindsey's Updo
This is Lindsey, the Maid of Honor from a Studio 9 Wedding Party last weekend. I was lucky enough to get my hands on her hair and have some fun! (And she was a Delta Zeta, as was I– hey sister!) Her request: A bit of height on top, a lot of fun, and off [...]
Lydia– My Fabulous Blonde
Lydia is a client who found me on facebook! How exciting! She said she has admired my work and really wanted me to do her highlights for her next touch up, and to work my magic. Her old stylist had put a medium amount of blonde in there, and really spaced out her highlights, so [...]
Inspiration 7/15
Sometimes, it is fun to mix things up. I know when you have that sassy angled bob, you start to get sick of it after getting it cut 5 times in a row. Your stylist probably does, too. Why not funk it up a little bit with some more layers throughout and around the face, [...]
InStyle's Best Haircolor in Hollywood
When I saw In Style’s Best Haircolor in Hollywood on their website, I had to share the results with you guys. Do you agree? Who do you think has the Best Haircolor in Hollywood?
Rebecca's makeover.
A Laurendoeshair.com reader from Denver recently e-mailed me with questions about her hair, and the new look she’s dying to have. She wants Taylor Momsen’s hair (you all know Taylor, she plays Jenny Humphrey on The CW’s Gossip Girl.) When I featured Taylor on Laurendoeshair.com a while back, Rebecca commented and asked me if that [...]
Maggie's major haircut!
My good friend Maggie came into Studio 9 the other day for a touch up… Then we decided on some more dimensional color with some strawberry blonde lowlights. She had dimensional blonde already but it was pretty bright and golden. We decided to soften it up a bit. And then she suprised me when she [...]
Jennifer's Updo
Another Updo to show! It’s still wedding season, ladies! This particular bridesmaid had a few ideas in mind: She had a lot of hair and was told to wear it all up. She wanted curls and loops and she wanted all of them on top of her head. The tricky part to Jennifer’s hair was [...]
Kelsey's highlights– part 3 of 3
This is the final blog about Kelsey’s highlights– I swear!! (She got them done Monday, we just had to shoot some photos of it.) The first time she got them done, she got very fine, natural looking highlights… and this time, we still dd very fine highlights but a ton more of them to really [...]
Kelsey's Highlights
As previously posted in this post, my sister came in to Studio 9 the other night to change up her color a bit. Kelsey had natural dark brown hair (looks even black to the untrained eye) and she wanted to lighten up her look a bit for the warmer months to come, without going an [...]
My favorite blonde
My favorite blonde in Hollywood (or New York, in this case) is Kelly Ripa’s. Her base is a gorgeous honey golden blonde, with highlights and lowlights. The three colors are beautifully blended, and the brighter are reccommended brighter towards the face, and sparingly throughout the back and underneath. The slices are very thin to blend [...]

It features Presentations and Hands-on classes with JOICO/ISO, PRAVANA, and GOLDWELL/KMS CALIFORNIA. Being a salon that uses JOICO color, some of the girls and I spent most of our time there.

Trying to look younger?
So I know we are all dreading it. Our first gray hair. (I have none!! <– my little brag of the day) Or for some of my readers, the gray roots that will start to show in just a few days. (Hi mom–sorry!) The best advice that I can give to you when being concerned [...]
Please Please Please Reconstruct
I know I’ve emphasized this topic a lot on Laurendoeshair.com, but I keep getting reminded of it daily at the salon. As we all tend to go lighter in the summer, the bleach that lightens the hair does indeed damage your hair. Sorry ladies, but it’s true. Sure, we have amazing color lines out there [...]
Find your best Haircolor
As found in Marie Claire Magazine: Is Blonde Right for You? If at least two of the following apply to you, it may be time to look on the bright side: You were blonde(ish) as a child. “If your hair was fair when you were small, especially by summer’s end, you probably have the right [...]
What does your hair color say about you?
Natural or colored, your hair shade affects how the world sees you… and how you see yourself. Alot of our self-image is based on the perceptions of other people. You partially view yourself through others’ eyes and act accordingly. That’s why the color of our hair tends to stereotype us. Here’s the deal of what [...]
Jaclyn's Highlights
Two weeks ago, I posted about Jennifer’s new look. Last night, I highlighted her twin sister, Jacyln, too. She told me that she liked Jen’s hair, and to do the same thing. I used this as an oppurtunity to learn the new color line that we are comparing to Redken, which is i.Luminate, from ISO, [...]
