Jet Rhys (whom I absolutely adore) of Jet Rhys Salons in San Diego, California is an amazing hair guru who can help anyone who’s had a bad hair cut.  Come on, you know you’ve had one.

You’ll never have to worry again after you’ve read the lovely Jet’s tips for dealing with A Bad Hair Cut: The Aftermath – What are we to do?

Jet says to always “come prepared to talk about the style you are looking for” with your stylist.

It that trick still doesn’t work, Jet has other great suggestions including:

If you hate it, say it!
If you are unhappy with a cut, say something to your stylist before you leave the salon. Give them the opportunity to get it right.  Every stylist wants their clients to leave the salon happy with their look.

If the cut is beyond repair Jet shares some tips to get you through until it grows out:

Accessories:
Even the worst haircuts can be camouflaged with the strategic placement of some cute barrettes or a headband. (more…)

I’m a huge fan of “weekend warrior” type trips and one of my favorite destinations for a quick weekend get-away is Las Vegas! There’s literally something always going on: a party is always brewing, there’s a steady stream of amazing artists coming to perform, and I’m such a regular at some of the spas the staff are always shocked to realize I actually live four states over.

My normal Las Vegas bundle of goodies includes the bare essentials needed for staying fabulous on the go.My signature day-time look is both perfect for lounging in the spa, shopping, and lunching with friends: Karina headband in conjunction with a low pony and adorned with a hair flower.

As simple as it sounds, these three combined create an easy look that screams effortless beauty. For a pony, I recommend Smoothies Accordion Metal Free Pony.

If you manage to get it wet while enjoying spa services or lounging poolside, the fabric dries quickly and won’t snag your hair. (more…)

Besides being tall, slender, blonde and incredibly beautiful, Whitney Port on The Hills wears incredible hair accessory trends. Throughout her time with Lauren and the gang, Whitney has worn her hair in a dizzying array of stunning hairstyles adorned with a wide range of eye popping headbands, clips and related hair accessories.

On the most recent episode shown on Monday, 4/14/08, Whitney wore a skinny white headband studded with tiny Swarovski gems, most likely from Celebrity Stylist Lisa Freede.

The headband has a chic shimmer that is not overpowering and works beautifully to hold Whitney’s hair back off her face while adding that something special.

Note: The Lisa Freede Headband like Whitney’s (in all colors from white to chocolate) is available in the HairBoutique.com Marketplace.

It would not be surprising to discover Whitney is wearing a Lisa Freede design since her friends – The Hilton Sisters – often wear the Lisa Freede hair accessories designs.
