Little effort leads to a whole new look

Posted on by ingridhairinspiration

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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I brought in the new year cleaning and organizing my home. Stumbled across many things I have been looking for. Ever dust off your book case and actually look at the library you have put together over the course of your life in your very own home?

I am a book collector, an avid and passionate transformer. My collection of books blows me away. What would it be like if in I weren’t able to leave the house for a week and do nothing but read all my enlightening books?

I’ll answer that. Full of knowledge in home organization, home decorating, chakra healing, hair color formulation ideas, updo ideas, business savvy…You get it.

I fell asleep with a stack of magazines last night, tearing out pages of new haircuts and color ideas for my clients.

Embrace the beauty of each day, it is a gift. You can have everything! Your mind has ALL THE POWER! Consider your utmost dreams a reality; If you believe it is so.

I am off to go read some books and tear pages out of magazines of images that I love and tape them all over my walls!
