5 Minute Fall Updo

This fall, we all want a quick fix to looking fabulous. Here is a 5 min Fall Updo that will get you out the door quickly and catch the attention of everyone you see!

You will need:
-bobby pins
-1 small elastic hair tie
-Oribe Superfine hairspray

STEP 1: French braid starting from hairline and work your way down the head. When you get to the end, secure hair with elastic.

STEP 2: lightly pull apart braid to make it not as “tight” which will create a softer and thicker braid.

STEP 3: take the end of the braid and start twisting the braid around to create a “bun look” secure with bobby pins.

STEP 4: lightly spray your finished look with Oribe Superfine

Why Vaughn-V76?

BIG NEWS! Sorella has made the decision to launch a new haircare line. This was a big pill for us to swallow as we pride ourselves on being “Oribe exclusive”, but we couldn’t resist! First, lets talk about the collection. Vaughn-V76 is geared toward men and is coined as a men’s grooming line; this collection includes shaving gel, before and after oil, and even a bar of soap. These products are so great; we can’t help but use them on a daily basis! Our personal favorites are the Brightening shampoo and conditioner. These products have a natural fresh scent and a very subtle purple color that’s perfect for blondes. This line includes a total of four cream/gels that have been best sellers in stores. We found this a bit surprising; that men seem to be moving away from the pomades, and instead loving gels and creams for a more natural look.

PARTY OF THE YEAR!

Signature drinks, dancers and dancing, yummy food, gorgeous people, fancy space… yes please! Join us for Sorella Salon’s biggest party ever! We are celebrating many occasions: 1, the new salon is open; 2, its marks our ten years anniversary and 3, it’s christmas!

Balayage to bring in your Fall Look!

Balayage highlights originated in Parisian salons. This technique involves hair stylists literally painting pieces of hair with a color brush, and results in a natural look. The stylists chooses which strands of hair to highlight, using a smaller color brush for precision. Low-lighting can also be performed this way. 

Balayage is French for “to sweep” – and the trend is sweeping across salons! It’s a hair highlighting technique you’ve probably seen on your favorite celebrities & models and didn’t even know it! 

“Hair Painting” techniques- like Balayage– require the least amount of maintenance (meaning not-so-obvious- root grow out and longer time between appointments)! 

Many celebrities are opting for balayage highlights. A variety of looks can be created; for example styles consisting of curly layered hair where the tips of the layered curls are tinted in dramatic color- just by using a color brush to paint the ends of the hair with out needing any additional tools. Traditional balayage doesn’t use foils! The new technique of balayage is a healthier way to highlight your hair, and is a must-do style for the modern woman!
