A NEW HAIR TECHNIQUE

“Brides planning to colour their hair before the wedding should visit a salon at least one week before their wedding,” recommends, John Beeson, pictured, Regional Colour Director, Vidal Sassoon Salon Toronto. “Brides seldom want to try something drastic or new for their wedding day.” At Sassoon’s, the clients consult with the stylist and colourist to discuss cuts, styles, colours, their natural hair texture, bone structure, and face shape and complexion.
  A new quick and simple foil technique called Colour Balance that is exclusive to Vidal Sassoon, works with all natural hair colours and accentuates the cut, making the shape look stronger. A glossing treatment conditions the hair while adding shine. For a bride looking to achieve a more dramatic look, the technique can also be applied using a more complicated sectioning pattern.

THE CANADIAN HAIRSTYLIST OF THE YEAR AWARDS
Canada’s top hairstylists were crowned on November 12, 2006, at the 18th Annual Contessa Awards at the Metro Convention Centre in Toronto. The colourful evening included a fashion runway presentation featuring contemporary designs and the latest cutting-edge hairstyles. Frank Dicintio of Salon Gaboa in Woodbridge, Ontario, was the big winner of the night that included the 2007 Canadian Hairstylist of the Year, Elite Master Hairstylist of the Year and Makeover Colorist of the Year. Dicintio’s collection of ethereal beauties included tribal, geometric, sculpted and softly razored styles, all beautiful and dramatically different. To see more visit www.salon52.ca.

UNVEILING THE BRIDE
The bride's crowning glory! As soon as you have selected the headpiece for your dress, shop for a hairstylist. If you have a hairstylist you like and who knows the texture and color of your hair, you will probably be happier having that person do your hair for your wedding. If you are shopping for a new hairstylist, ask what their bridal services policy is for new clients.
  Most stylists will take the time to give you a proper consultation to discuss their service packages. Hairpieces and extensions can be added to short or fine hair to create various effects. Wigs are often used on warm days. 
  Have your hair done in the salon two or three months before your wedding to make sure you will be happy with the results. Let your hairstylist know if you are planning to take off your headpiece or veil at your reception, so that your hair maintains its style. Go through a mini-rehearsal with your stylist in taking off your headpiece
  Many hairstylists will make house calls before the wedding and meet you at the reception for touch-ups. Remember not to color your hair the day before your wedding in case you need more than 24 hours to fix it. Above all, if you are not all that cosmetics-conscious, rely on professionals.
