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?

We appreciate you and love you more for it. Here is a peek at what we did this spring. Balayage is still relevant in Philly. At least in 2016 it is.

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!

Rachid, Lisa, Charlie, and I met up with the Christian Tipton and his team from Razor's Edge Barbershop for a lesson in a men's hot shave. (It's so important to stay current on the hottest trends and techniques.) Christian's razor sharp percision and undeniable expert-level mastery captivated us from start to finish and we're so excited to bring show you what we've learned. (Check out the gallery below.)

Some think barbering is a lost art and some guys think that only barber shops have good barbers. Not at André Richard Salon in Philadelphia. Starting in fall we will be doing hot shaves for guys. We are sharpening our blades and getting ready. Be on the look out. Meanwhile, here are some guys cuts that  we did this summer. Hope you're staying cool. Book  Online

Rachid went to France early this year to visit an academy where he had intensive training on balayage techniques and serious training in hairstyling. He visiting the academy for a refresher and update on the latest trends. When he returned he organized and facilitated training for the Andre Richard Salon team that zeroed in on how to perfect a look for a persons lifestyle, skin tone and face shape. The advanced balayage techniques zeroed in on the client for their specific needs, face shape, skin tone, hair length and texture. Also cutting to compliment the balayage placement and of course the clients face and life style.

Take a look at some of the work the team produced.
