The nail polish application will stay smooth, shiny, and free from chips, with the only need to reapply within 14 days as the nail grows out naturally. CND Shellac is truly the best way to enjoy a manicure or pedicure because you will not have to worry about wasting your money on a salon procedure that only lasts for a few days afterward.

When it comes to quality, time investment, durability, and a beautiful finish
, CND Shellac hits the mark across the board and is now available for all nail services at Studio 1 Salon & Spa!

To rock the style of J. Lo, big, bold, and
beautiful hair extensions are back in action. She has a new soft brown color with highlights, and she is wearing her hair long, loose, and gorgeous. If you are going to spring for hair extensions, make sure that you get them from a professional salon so that they look just as good as the real thing. There is no bigger faux pas than wearing shoddy looking hair extensions that only look obvious and cheap.



2. Rhianna: Female Faux Hawk

This is the perfect time to channel your inner punk because the female faux hawk is more popular than ever. If you are ready for short hair, you can shave the under section of your hair, dye the longer locks on top, and wear them spiky to create this fun and flirty look. It is best to dye the top portion of your hair to a shade that is obviously lighter than your natural hair color to get the edgy two-toned effect of this hairstyle. Yes, it really works...


3. Kristin Cavallari: Sophisticated Updo

Kristin showed off her long, sleek neck with this beautiful updo style, making her look sophisticated and polished. This is perfect for all of the ladies out there who want to shake the California girl surfer style for a moment and look elegant and classy for a night out on the town. The key to this look is making sure that the top is full of loose waves to still hail the California inspiration, making this messy updo the best of both worlds for either the red carpet or a fun date night!



4. Christina Aguilera: Walk Like an Egyptian

This is a fun style if you want to try something different because Christina Aguilera has introduced the new blond bob. The ends of this bob are choppy and stick straight so that it appears to have a Cleopatra inspiration. This is a chic and edgier look that you can wear with bangs across your forehead or even side swept fringe. Take a walk on the wild side!


5. Megan Fox: Classic Hollywood

Megan Fox is the hottest starlet of the hour, and she wore her long dark locks in gentle waves to emulate classic Hollywood beauty. If you want a little bit of a retro touch to your hairstyle, use the inspiration of Fox to bring you back to the 40s or 50s in the style of your hair. This is best paired with an edgy and modern dress and accessories to merge two classic styles together!

Trendy New Fall Hairstyles for 2010



Believe it or not, summer is almost over, and that means that fall is upon us! So what is a girl to do? The answer is simple: a quick makeover with a new hairstyle that will transform you for the upcoming season!

Hot Fall Hairstyle Trends

Long Tresses
All of the long haired ladies out there can finally rejoice because very long hair is back in style! Of course, if you currently have a short do, you can easily get extensions to maximize your length and create long beautiful waves as a new fall hairstyle. For a beautiful wavy look for your long gorgeous hair this fall, try the Pravana Beach Wave Collection to give you natural and soft looking waves that will prevent your long locks from looking straight and stringy.

Sleek and Straight
If you are not feeling the loose, tussled waves this fall, sleek and straight hair is another trend to take note of. Of course, it is important to protect your hair from excessive heat styling and straightening by using the Bio Ionic Retex Hair Straightening System for the best results to keep your tresses healthy and beautiful. This system will also work to eliminate frizz so that you can have long and sleek hair as the cooler weather rolls in.

Rocker Bangs
This is a fun fall hairstyle inspired by Rihanna, so why not try bangs to spice up your existing look? Rhianna wears hers textured and side swept with a short cut, but bangs will also work well with long and beautiful hair, or you can even wear them flat ironed in a straight fringe. If you truly want to jazz up your look, you can try a whole new hair color with extensive choices in the full Redken color line.

Go Short!
Even though you may feel that you need longer hair for colder weather, that is not always necessarily the case. Short and textured hairstyles are hot this fall with a punk inspiration, which will also look beautiful when paired with a warm scarf or cute knit cap. In fact, if you want to get out the door in an even shorter amount of time every morning, short hair is where it's at because you can just add product and go. Does life get any better than that?

Braid Inspiration
Another simplified look for the fall is any style of braid, and the sleeker the better. Why not try a traditional long braid down your back, or even a stylish side French braid for your regular office look? This is the perfect choice if you woke up late or are even having a bad hair day because you will look polished and sophisticated through one simple hairstyle.

So where do you even begin? As we roll into fall this season, you can be fully prepared to revamp your entire look by making a simple change in your hairstyle to give you a dramatic transformation with less effort on your part!
