Going back to the 1950's, scarfs have been worn to cover hair sins like dark roots, dirty hair and now more increasingly in 'celebrity world'.... hair weaves.

Besides, they look really great! There are an abundance of different colors and prints to choose from and they can be tied in several different ways. You can look ultra chic with a silk designer scarf or just simply mah-va-lous dah'ling when you add some of the Jackie-O inspired sunglasses.

I've been inspired by Japanese hair stylists for years.  At hair shows many of the platform artists are flown in and while many can't speak English (to explain their techniques) just watching them at their craft leaves me spell bound. 

The Japanese artists are the ultimate perfectionists and are masters in their field, able to capture the look of American Caucasian hair which is not easy given the limitations of commonly course, straight hair texture, transforming the Asian models hair by using advanced cutting skills to give more movement and texture.

You can see how a similar shape can result in two wholly different 'looks' from the sweetness of "Hello Kitty" Anime'  to the bold rocker styles as Jrock, etc.  

Both trend setting and wearable since they translate extremely well to American hair in both texture and color.

"I’ve recently seen more and more girls playing around with hair accessories. I first noticed this trend on The Hills (Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port often sported unique headbands) and even more so on Gossip Girl where the headband has been a trademark of Blair Warldorf."

Our salon is expanding our boutique area and adding "Charlotte's Consignments" to the mix.  It got me thinking about making some hair accessories such as Ribbon head bands to display in the boutique now that ANYONE can put their items up for sale.  I love the look!
