Hair Trends for Winter 2013/2014 by Fern Framberg

Short Cuts Are In 
With temperatures falling and over-sized scarves abounding, women are opting for shorter, layered and more textured hairstyles.  

Stylist Piet says, “Thanks to the Jennifers (Lawrence, Hudson and Anniston) we’re seeing everything from swept-back pixies to boyish crops and  piecey A-line bobs. When humidity is not a factor, more women are willing to take the plunge and go shorter.”

Waves Rock Mid-Length Locks
For those who prefer the versatility of mid-length locks, softer, looser, wavier styles offer a fresh alternative this season.  Easy, breezy blow dries are replacing the super-straight styles that took way too much time and effort to create.   

Vartan says, “Softer styles add a more youthful look.  If you haven’t had a roller set before, now is the time.  Lifting hair off the scalp plumps up thin hair, adds height and fullness and takes years off your age,” he says.

Bang It Out
Assymetrical bangs -- choppy, chunky, fringed or swept forward across the face -- are a great way to update any look, Vartan points out.

Holidays Call For Polish and Shine:

Hydrate and Condition Your Hair  Now!
With the holidays drawing near, styles call for more polish and shine.  Regular conditioning is key to keeping hair healthy and hydrated.  Gels and oils tame flyaways, while adding texture and gloss.


Warmer Haircolor Tones, 
Light Up Your Complexion

When it comes to color this winter, the freshest looks are darker, deeper and a little redder.  Shades of cinnamon or ginger add warmth, depth and dimension to hair.   

Michael says, “Warming up your haircolor diminishes dull, winter pallor and make your skin glow.  “I like to think of haircolor as permanent makeup – not only does it add heft to the hair, it brightens skin tones,” Michael notes.
Apres Holidays:  
Lighter, Brighter Colors, Lift Your Spirits!
Once the holiday season ends, and the dark days of January commence, Vartan suggests lightening up your haircolor to fight off winter doldrums and banish post-party blahs.  

“If you’re blonde, go lighter; if you’re brunette go brighter.  If you’re red, go a bit bolder,” he says.  “An extra shot of color will brighten your perspective and help you ring in the new year in style.”

Nifty Shades of Gray
Who said gray is for old ladies?  This season, the silver fox is hotter than ever.  

More women are embracing their gray because it makes a statement about who they are. Today gray hair connotes confidence, security and independence.  But, there are some rules you need to follow to keep gray hair looking glamorous.  First, a great cut is key. Make sure it flatters your features and works with (not against) the texture of your hair. Second, conditioning is critical.  A deep conditioning treatment every week or two nourishes hair, fights flatness and frizzies, and maintain brightness. Third, because gray can turn yellow, the experts at Vartali recommend a violet-infused shampoo to combat brassy tones.  (by Fern Framberg, photo: Olan Montgomery)

Meet Mika Geudelekian

Mika, a rising star in the Vartali pantheon, started working in the beauty business when he was just 19.  Now, with six years of styling experience under his belt, this native New Yorker brings his passion for beauty, his fashion-forward eye and pleasing personality to work for our clientele.

Mika believes the most important part of any cut begins with the consultation.  “I love creativity, and I enjoy coming up with ideas for a style.  But the client has to be happy, and that means collaboration is a must. “  He says,  “It’s my hair while you’re in the chair, but its all yours once you leave the salon, so the end result has to stand on its own.”

Mika’s clients are young and active, with busy lives and little time to spend in the salon.    They need looks that offer low maintenance care and multiple styling options.  Most want a cut they can wear straight or wavy, styled or natural, up or down.

Now, as the holiday party season begins, Mika  is doing more updos.  “Not uppity updos,” he adds.  “These are freer, fresher and more modern.  I’m doing French knots, chignons, romantic braids -- tucked or looped -- and low-slung ponies, with loose tendrils or side curls.  Hair ornaments and accessories are big right now. I’m using headbands, clips, pearls and even feathers to add glitz and a little fun to party looks.
Next time you visit the salon, have a chat with Mika about a new style direction. (by Fern Framberg)
