Redken came to Andre Richard Salon in Philadelphia to give an updated approach to balayage and babylight highlights. 

Balayage became known sometime in the 1970's and over the past 10 years has been a rising trend. We began teaching balayage and ombré techniques at ARS in 2010. Babylights is a foil technique that takes a lot of time but the results are natural like a babys blonde!

We believe that education is the foundaton of our success and keeps us the best salon in Philadelphia.

Redken sent in a top educator from NYC. Arielle helped us with placement and also focused on which Redken lightener to use for the desired result.

The team focused on technique and instead of using live models we used professional mannequins to maintain the classroom atmosphere. We were able to ask questions and focus on the technique. 

The best part of hands on is we get our hands in there and feel what we are learning.

Our rising talent is always encouraged to learn and jump in.

The best part was the group collaberation at the end to discuss what we learned in class.

Check out her balayage and lob. As a nationally recognized style expert and the founder of TrendHungry.com, Jessie Holeva has made a name for herself with her effervescent attitude and on-point style advice. A regular on Fox Good Day Philadelphia, she thrives on helping real women with real budgets discover their style. 

Hair color corrections are not for the stylist who is the faint of heart. Same goes for the person who needs the hair color correction. They take lots of time and can not be rushed. After all a correction is not a basic hair color service, they are carefully calculated and sometimes the desired result is not achieved in one visit. Sometimes a correction can take one process and sometimes they take several processes. Hair color corrections should always have a detailed consultation. Usually they are charged by the number of processes that it takes to obtain the desired result. The client should be prepared to disclose all the previous processing so the stylist can be fully equipped with the proper knowledge to perform the service successfully. 

ARS welcomes PR maven and social media gem Patricia Maristch to Expert Corner!

From Laverne Cox to Rose Byrne to Kim Kardashian, The Lob, short for long bob, continues to dominate the celebrity hair trend for 2016. 

 According to Drea Richard Baldini, owner of Andre Richard Salon in Philadelphia, this versatile style is popular choice among customers. “Everyone loves [the lob] because it can be swept up in knot, or worn sleek,” she said.  “All hair types and styles can wear it beautifully.” But, be sure to hone in on the kind of lob that works best for you before going under the shears. “Make sure you bring a picture of what you want so your stylist knows exactly what you are looking for,” Baldini said. “Sometimes a client uses different terminology and the result can be disastrous.”

A requirement to be a hair stylist at André Richard Salon is to participate in all education workshops held at the salon. We pride ourselves in being voted best salon for hair color and will stand by our work 100%. 

This week we had Redken Educators Ryan Morgan and Ryan Rodgers in the salon to cover advanced blonding services in the Redken lightner family.

We discussed highlift blonding cream, base breaking, timing and lifting capacity of their powder lightners, how to use the blue oil lightening systems (no more orange!), and most importantly how to choose what product to reach the ultimate blonde goal.

 We are still  ahead of the blonde game in Philly. Wanna play?

A few weeks back, the team and I collaborated with some amazing Philadelphia area retailers and the Philly Inquirer for a fall fashion spread.

(You may have seen it.) It was an amazing day filled with fashion, art, and style — and we were honored (and thrilled) to be included among the styling team! ARS Stylist, Erin Gallagher styled the hair for the shoot and I worked on the makeup.

Last night, the who's who of the Philadelphia fashion and retail scene — as well as Erin, Rachid, and I — came out for a special "Fall Fashion Event" at the Inquirer building in downtown Philadelphia. It was a panel discussion lead by famed Philly.com and Philadelphia Inquirer fashion journalist, Elizabeth Wellington.

Along with me, the pannel was composed of Ellen Shepp (from Joan Shepp) and Ann Gitter (Owner of Knit Wit) representatives from Theory and Alica DiMichele. 

Each of the designers styled the model — Malika Miller — to show a look that best represented their brand's signature style: Ann Gitter worked the theme of the shoot (monochromatic styling) along side the recurring texture trend. Ellen Shepp showed the crowd how to do the athleisure trend right before offering a word of advice. "Play with your look and try different things" she advised the crowd, "And, if at the end [of the getting ready process] you don't feel good leaving your house... don't."

Known for their mastery of minimalism Theory showed off a look combining texture and monochromatic colors while the Alica DiMichele team showed off the art of sexy.

In the world of makeup... It's all about berry colors on the lips this season; warm, cool, and everything in between. I recommend layering up; you can't go wrong with an ombréed lip and don't be afraid to go bold — deep reds are in!
