Jenna Herrington's Ombre Hair Color Art

Our newest salon stylist member, Jenna Herrington, is off to a great start.  Here's an example of her work on a client requesting the Ombre hair color.  There are many ways to achieve this look (darker color level transitioning to a lighter level of color).   This line of demarcation can be bold and distinct to gradual...completely depending on the individual desires of the client.  Jenna Herrington can achieve many different Ombre color results and here you can see a picture of a client requesting a brown base to the new growth with a strong transition to red and blonde tips/ends of hair.  Jenna is available for appointments and can be reached at (909) 291-5320 via text or voicemail.  ~ Jenna Herrington @ Salon Sovay

Hotheads Hair Extensions, PM Shine treatment for Vavavoom Volume and Shine

Here is a client of mine who is getting married in a few days.  As you can see, she has pretty long hair and we simply wanted to warm it up with a color shine and add some volume to prepare her for the big day soon.  We accomplished this with a bang/fringe trim, a PM Shine treatment in 7RB, and volume was added with Hotheads Hair Extensions 6 pack (mini pack) in No.07.  Application of the extensions took approximately 20 minutes start to finish.  They are "permanent" but I recommend maintenance visits every 3 to 4 months.  These extensions can be reused up to 3 times.  Hotheads Hair Extensions are human hair, adhesive weft extensions that are applied without the need for tools or heat. I use them often with clients and have even worn them myself in two different shades, depending on what I fancied that season.  They are beautiful, fast, and cost effective.  ~ Sovay Reeder @ Salon Sovay

Perm results at 1 week to 6 months after service...different looks you can achieve!

I'm posting some great photos of a client who had her hair permed by me in the summer of 2011(or we can call it a body wave, as well).  These photos represent different styles she was able to achieve post-perm about 1 month afterwards and a great sexy beach blow out I was able to achieve 6 months after the initial perm/body wave service was performed.  Just some quick notes about about the perm...we used larger rods on the top of her hair for a focus on volume (not curl) and used smaller rods on the sides and bottom to achieve curl and wave.   Her " baseline" or natural hair is as straight as a board and she was extremely frustrated about her lack of options.  Solution...a perm, of course :)  ~ Sovay Reeder @ Salon Sovay

Always a good time for a lash perm and tint...even in the chilly months!

Well, as I have mentioned before, I have never seen such a surge in lash perm and tint requests during the colder months as this is such a popular service, traditionally, in the warm summer months. I can only conclude that "pretty" is always in fashion and demand...even in the chilly months in Austin, Texas. Here's a recent lash perm and tint on a new client who had received lash tints previously at other area salons but had never tried to eyelash perm service before. Needless to say, she was very pleased...and you can see why. I've said this before and I'll say it again, this is the most underrated facial beauty enhancement you can get that is not invasive and requires zero maintenance on a daily basis. ~ Sovay Reeder @ Salon Sovay

Eyelash Perm with Sovay @ Salon Sovay

Here are some amazing before and after shots of a lash perm. I like to include before and after pictures of clients with all different lengths of lashes to give you an accurate idea about how your lashes might look like with this service. ~ Sovay Reeder @Salon Sovay

Eyelash Perm and Eyelash Tint

Typically May/June/July/August is the "season" for lash perms/tints but, for some reason, January is full of lash perms this year, 2012.

The reason lash perming is so popular in the hotter months is simple...there is nothing better than beautiful, curled, dark and thick lashes without any makeup at the beach and pool. A lash perm and tint can accomplish this. I'm not sure why I have had so many requests this month but I think it's great and love passing on before and after pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Pretty Perm/Body Wave in Austin, Texas

With this client, we really wanted to be careful about the amount of wave to put in her hair. I definitely wanted to err on the side of conservative as opposed to "Shirley Temple" curly. There was a simple reason for this. This was my suggestion and advice for her...not the other way around. I always come up with radical suggestions for my clients and, subsequently, freak out a little bit when they say, "Ok...let's do it!" Well, this was the case here so I really wanted to make sure my suggestion came out perfect and conservative. If it hadn't, I don't know how I could have forgiven myself. We both survived the outcome and welcomed this victory. I used bigger rods for the front (bangs/fringe area - green rods) and slightly smaller rods everywhere else (orange rods). ~Sovay Reeder @ Salon Sovay
