2008

John Simpson of Lewis Salon put down his thinning shears and took up his coloring brush instead, creating this look, as one of several in a colo collection that he said allowed him to re–igninte his creativity. Simpson recently won the Best Haircolor award from the Professional Beauty Association during the 19th annual North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) – the color at left is from his award-winning collection, in which he wove different “stories” of texture and color.

Simpson, a stylist from Pittsburgh, PA, will be one of the people presenting a variety of techniques, cuts colors and more on TheCuttingEdgeHairShow.com
He used brilliant blondes, matte browns and many more techniques to create “something that not only inspires others” but also re-inspired him to get creative with his work. His collection features several photographs of different cuts, color, and style combinations. He showed that often, amazing looks can be created without specific use of shears – hair can be colored and styled expertly!
In the journey from the idea, through the creation of the line, and finally to the award, he said his biggest challenge was to make sure he actually followed through and “did it!”

Add “salons” to the list of places teens and tweens are hitting up these days in their quest for cool.

MSNBC recently reported that 16 percent of teens who have visited a spa have received hair-removal procedures, according to The International Spa Association, while everal salon owners across the country told the “Today” show that the number of children ages 12 and under coming seeking beauty services has dramatically increased during the past three years

One salon owner in Minnesota says the majority of her younger clients are accompanied by their parents, grandparents or nannies, which means they’re not coming in by themselves, asking for something crazy that would require, say thinning shears or radically-colored hair dye! 

“We find that they (are influenced by) their mom and friends, or are highly influenced by magazines or television,”the salon owner said.

Some places even offer services to teens that instruct them on how to style and take care of their own hair, so they can get the look they want on their own.

One teen visiting a salon says she only comes about three to four times a year, but only to get her hair trimmed and highlighted to keep it “healthy and nice looking,” and she always talks “with my mom before I visit on what I should do with my hair.”

Still, there’s at least one teenager who thinks that “Many of the celebrities in the tabloids affect many young girls and women, whether it be a hair style or what a girl’s size is in clothing. Hollywood is trying to show America a beauty that is fake and negative (to) people who don’t look like that.”
