I hadn’t even prepared for Christmas, how can I begin to start to think about New Years. Well, we at the salon have successfully survived the Christmas rush, so 2010 here we come!

Naturally as a girl you first think, what am I going to wear? Ha! So I have the dress, hopefully it isn’t ridiculously cold where I have to cover it up with my Arctic Parka!

Okay so we have the dress covered, shoes and bag can be found in my overflowing closet, so now what next? HAIR! What kind of hairstyle do I want? I’m thinking a New Years Eve blowout will do the trick! Face it ladies, your blowdry always looks better when it’s done by a professional.

Miracles Salon is hosting a New Years Eve Blowout Party–champagne, chocolate and strawberries all day long! We will be open from 9am-9pm for you to come get your New Years Blowout, so be sure to make your appointments soon! For the ladies that don’t want a blowdry, make your requests: up-dos, down-dos, goddess curls, waxing, make-up and more! Make sure when the ball drops, you and your hair are still looking good. Get those kissing lips glossed and the hair coiffed, 2010 here we come!

All we do is wash and go, let it just hang there and hope that the layers will give us volume; or we just put it in a ponytail! WHY ARE WE GROWING OUR HAIR OUT??(Except of course when we are growing it out to donate to a great cause like Locks of Love)

Lets face it, short haircuts are easier to style, always look good and there is something for everyone. Obviously not everyone can have a pixie haircut, but anything above the shoulders will do. Try something that is just shy of being able to be put up in a ponytail. If you can tie your hair back, it defeats the purpose of getting a sexy short hair style.
short hair cuts
I know that cutting your hair off is frightening, so be sure you are ready. Look at pictures online to find styles you like and even styles you don’t like. If you give your stylist an idea of what you do and don’t like, it will give them a better sense of what you are looking for. Be open to ideas from your stylist, and most importantly, make sure you are on the same page before those scissors come out.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I ever get it right. The expensive “junk” I buy him always ends up in a drawer at his house that I never end up seeing. The plethora of ties and colognes he hates the smell of always end up here, along with the fancy gadgets my simple father never uses.

I understand we all don’t have fathers to buy a thoughtful little gift for; but we have boyfriends we would like to father our children, husbands who have given us children, and those nice men in our lives who we would like to call our fathers. All these people in our lives deserve a nice gift on June 21st, right? Something a little bit nicer than a tie or a grill set! special-men
