With the fall wedding season in full blaze, and homecoming dances right around the corner, here's a great new tool you can add to your line of up-do gadgets!
In November, I am getting married! My fiancé and I are planning a traditional wedding -- big church, lots of guests, huge bridal party and a big bash at a downtown hotel afterwards.
I just recently tried Aveda’s Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener, the newest addition to their Smooth Infusion line. Usually, I’m devoted to specific products when it comes to fighting humidity, but I decided to try out this new product on one of the most humid days the Chicago summer has seen and give it a test drive.
I don't think any of us have quite recovered from the energy and excitement of one of the beauty industry's biggest events of the year!
Ever since January 1, 2000 The Eiffel Tower lights up with flickering lights every night at 10, 11 and midnight. Word is that the Parisians think it’s tacky, but it is a spectacular sight and we watched it avidly during dinner at Les Ombre, a gorgeous glass enclosed restaurant located in Paris’ museum of indigenous art—a very Aveda kind of place.

After a summer filled with brightly colored sundresses, streaky blonde hair and flashy sandals, fall is upon us. As the weather changes, so does fashion. And as we all know, fashion and beauty go hand-in-hand. When your clients start pulling on sweaters and wrapping scarves around their necks, it’s time to talk about new hair color.
For this week's bridal updo, we had the chance to visit some good friends of Modern -- and they're neighbors too! Bonnie Conte and Shyla Kenrick are co-owners of Avalon Salon & Day Spa in Deer Park, Illinois, only 15 minutes from the Modern offices. When they heard about our wedding trials, Shyla jumped in with an offer to try her hand at taming Laurel's hair. The result was one of the coolest styles we've seen yet. We asked for avant garde and she delivered!
A hairdresser for 20 years, Shelly Devlin never heard of NAHA for the first 10 years of her career. Then she met Luis Alvarez and his team at Aquage. That meeting set the stage for this past year's first-time entry in the famed contest for hair stylists.
On the heels of NAHA 20, celebrating North America's own amazing hairstylists, come the finalists for the British Hairdressing Awards. Sponsored by Hairdressers Journal International, BHA is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
We were tweeting and updating our Facebook fan page live from NAHA 20 this past weekend and we got great responses from people who weren’t at the show but followed us live. If you missed out, here’s an excerpt from our posts.
It's a question many are asking: how do I get new clients in this economic climate? Here's one owner's advice on how to give people the incentive to come to see you.
