Besides braids, try a sleek ponytail, or messy, sexy waves to shake up your style. Or, for a bolder change, try adding bangs to really revamp your look! But no matter what you pick, own it and rock your unique style. There is nothing sexier than a woman with confidence!

If you’re ready to for a sexy, trendy change, stop by Salon True, and talk to our stylists about what is the perfect sassy solution for you this season.

The center part is an easy, low-commitment way to quickly change your look. But, if you’re ready for a more radical change, and want to infuse your hairstyle with a bit more glam, pick up the latest issue of Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, or Vogue. Flip through the pages and soak up the latest trends, colors, and ‘dos. Then, ask your stylist at Salon True what trend would be best for you!

If you need to see it to be convinced, check out Julia Roberts’ hair on the cover of Vanity Fair’s April 2012 issue. It’s a great example of how you can look super hot and sexy with just a little change.

Here, at Salon True, we’re happy to advise you as to what color highlights will work best with your hair color and complexion – and we can make them as subtle or as bold as you like. Our ultimate goal is to get you looking and feeling your best!

NO INHIBITION – coming soon

Celebs like Drew Barrymore, Rachel Bilson, and Lauren Conrad are totally rocking the gorgeous ombre look, and you can sport it too, if you like. Our Salon True team is ready and willing to bring stunning, ombre coloring to you!  If you’re not ready to make a color switch, hop on the “braids” train. Twist and turn your locks into a messy, upswept, braided do, for a chic look like that worn by Kirsten Dunst and Mandy Moore.

Here, at Salon True, we love educating ourselves in the newest styles and trends because it empowers us to expand our craft, and also empowers you, our valued client, with self-confidence and a radiant new look.

We are all ready for Spring, so, if you’re ready for a new look, schedule your appointment today, and get ready for a welcome change!

Each evening, we went out to eat and had the pleasure of trying all different types of cuisine – Italian at Coco Pazzo Café, Asian fusion at Sundra, and delicious seafood at Fish & GT Oyster. For lunches, we visited The Public House and The Rockit Bar and Grill. Besides enjoying the food, we reveled in people-watching; taking note of the Chicagoans’ unique style. Their hair was fresh, newly colored, with clean-cut ends – nothing too crazy or over-the-top, but nicely styled, and trendy.

When you’re fortunate enough to live in a beautiful, fashionable place – like Chicago – it’s easy to draw inspiration from it, and translate that vibe into an attractive, stylish look. So, do like the Chicagoans do, and look around your world and notice the beauty that exists all around you – the exquisiteness of a gorgeous sunset, the charming neighborhood in which you live, or your favorite city. When you get dressed in the morning and prep yourself for your day, allow your look to be an expression of your innate magnificence, and the loveliness that exists all around!

Our Salon True team is pumping up their education this Spring – attending workshops and programs to further hone their stylist skills – and I’m anxious to see what clients will take the plunge and radically change their look, and try out some of the new techniques and styles we’re learning about. For women, like me, who love their long locks, we still have fabulous options for you too! You can embrace spring by changing your hair color to something bolder that will make your features and personality stand out. For something fun, play with braids or sleek ponytails, or you could even add bangs – they will make your long hair seem a bit more fun and funky, and less blasé.

Whatever is calling to you this season, I encourage you to try something new and eye-catching with your hair, or even just with your wardrobe. Have fun and be bold!
