Lives changed this weekend.

Posted on January 27, 2015 by ingridhairinspiration

This past weekend was the Long Beach ISSE show. A beauty industry gathering I look forward to every January. This year I traveled with my girls master stylist and Kevin Murphy educator Kristy Jarvis, my extremely talented little sis, Lindsey Fuentes, our Canyon Salon top Nail Artist Terry Viscara. I’ll refer to us as the “beauty gang” we roll to these events, classes, pop up events, photo shoots together. These girls are always down! We met the owners and dear friends Christy Calafati and Nikki Corzine there later and all had the best dinner at “555”.

Kristy Jarvis studied with the famous celebrity stylist Ted Gibson. A major shift transpired over two days in her career than set her on fire ! That fire was so bright it could’ve lit up the world!

We came as one person , and at the end of the weekend, we left with our passions ignited And feeling inspired and educated to our cores.

Thank you to Mike Johles from LA shear and Aaron Johles from Ibiza Hair for all your support , help and love! Nina Kovner for simply being a passionista and spreading the love, Jericho for teaching me things I never ever knew!! ( 7 minute Blowdry ) and haircut techniques so simple with great impact! To Editor in Chief of American Salon , Salon Today and Modern Salon, Stacy Soble. She took time for me to hear our story of the Canyon Salon raising awareness about domestic violence , shooting a documentary, our huge fundraiser in April, and what is “Ingridhairinspiration” ?

Thank you to the many new friends I made, the vendors that sold me a truck full of supplies! To the makers of Patron, SARK cards , The Hyatt , every single person that poured their love into the 2015 International Salon and Spa expo!

All of you brought it together and gave us the best weekend of 2015 thus far!

Little effort leads to a whole new look

Today I was on my way home from the salon. A colleague of mine asked if I could help her out with a little girl’s bang trim as she was running behind with a color correction. I of course said yes! Working as a team is integral to salon success and an overall supportive vibe felt throughout our high end 5 star Canyon Salon. minutes later in walks this rad girl ( not little) perhaps in her late teens , with gorgeous one length, long red hair .

Of course not what I was expecting, and of course I’m thrilled.

She came in looking one way and 10 minutes later she left with an entire new look.

The power a small change can make in ones image is staggering.

New Years Preparation

Posted on December 31, 2014 by ingridhairinspiration

Last few days of 2014 — New Years Prep at The Canyon Salon

It’s been fabulous getting my clients all set up with their new look for 2015. Many changes. Lots of prebookings for new hair color to start the new year fresh.

Then there’s me. The stylist seems to be the last one to get their look pulled together.

I squeezed in to see my facialist Miss Kelli McCauley from the Canyon Salon literally in between clients. My first go at Dermaplaning. Topped off with oxy-glo. Wow! What a difference ! Photos to come. It’s late, but had to post, as we only have one more day in 2014. Are we all prepped with a pulled together image to embark our new year?

Is your house clean, organized, Christmas lights down, new hair, clean skin, groomed brows, thank you cards sent? Vison board created?

We better get to work.
