Makeover: Liz Before and After

Fringe by Carrie selected Liz as their makeover candidate!  We've got some great photos to show you, with Before and After photos.  Liz received a hair cut, top panel highlights, and an eyebrow wax.  

BEFORE

BEFORE

The consultation consisted with learning about Liz's hair care routine, how she likes to wear her hair, and what would flatter her skin and face.  Liz asked for her hair to be "thinned out" in the back because the hair is thick and takes awhile to dry.  Liz wanted to go lighter and wanted a color that would not show any obvious lines of demarcation.  What is the line of demarcation?  The line of demarcation is the line of new hair growth showing.

Cutting

Drying

Carrie's solutions:  Liz likes to wear her hair in a pony tail for work and she enjoys it straightened.  Carrie gave her a long side bang and layered the hair to frame her face on both sides.  Carrie also explained using thinning shears does not create the correct texture to help with the "thick hair".  Instead, Carrie added extra layers in the back to help create movement but also alleviate some of the time used to dry the hair.   

AFTER

For color, Carrie lightened Liz's hair for about 8 minutes, using a top panel partial highlights pattern.  

AFTER

The nice part about Carrie's choice is that it is the perfect choice for non-committal color.  If you're not sure you'll like color, or you just want a small change, this would be great.  It was only a few shades ligher then Liz's natural color and will blend in nicely with any new hair growth.  We will check back in with Liz in a few weeks to see how she is enjoying her color and how her new hair growth is blending with the highlights.

Carrie used a flat iron on Liz's hair to create soft waves.

Columbus Hair Show

Over the weekend of October 23-24th, Team Fringe was at the Columbus Hair Show!  The whole team was there, enjoying product demonstrations, snagging some freebies (I only found candy), and enjoying some classes!  It was a very educational experience for us all!


Marchelle went down on Friday night for Paul Mitchell model call, she worked behind the scenes and was even on stage cutting hair!  She did a fabulous job and we have some pictures to share with you!

This is Marchelle styling the model's hair.  The Paul Mitchell styles this year are short layered cuts.


For the Women: the Paul Mitchell products that were popular is the new Avapuhi Wild Ginger line (all natural!).

For the Men: the Paul Mitchell products are water-soluble.  This means you can put the product in before work, then wet it down and restyle it before going out and it looks great!


The products are all natural, fun to use, and smell pleasant.  Has a very flexible hold, does not stiffen or crunch.

Team Fringe talks to PENTA Cosmetology Students

The students listening quietly.

Team Fringe visited with PENTA Cosmetology students on Monday September 17th and spoke about the training Carrie went through and how she grew her business.  Marchelle spoke about Paul Mitchell and how she has grown to become a National Color Educator and how she continues to set goals for herself.  Chris touched base about how Team Fringe uses the web to market our business.


The students were very quiet and listened intently during the presentation.  Lots of questions were asked about ways to market themselves, the types of salons they wanted to work with/for, the type of education available, and the benefits of Paul Mitchell products.


Marchelle captivated the students with her personal experiences and her determination to succeed in this industry.  Carrie provided much needed wisdom into opening up your own salon and how to run a business.  Chris talked about the many types of marketing and ways to promote themselves.

Team Fringe touched base with the students about Martino Cartier and Maryanne & Friends which we talked about in a previous blog here.  Breast cancer has touched many lives including those personally known to Carrie and the rest of Team Fringe.


The presentation was a success and Fringe has been asked to return to provide a hair cutting demonstration in a few weeks.  We hope you are looking forward to that demonstration as much as we are!  There will be many pictures of the demonstration for you all to see!
