Stylist DIY

Call us Martha Stewart… we are going DIY at the salon today! When looking for a way to spruce up  your place on a budget we go with the only reasonable options. Glitter!

 

Here are a few simple steps to turning drab letters into fab:

1. Spray adhesive glue to the existing letters.

2. Place letters in a box to keep glitter contained while pouring a thick layer over each letter.

3. Dump excess glitter of letter and let dry for 10 to 15 minutes.

4. Spray a thin coat of hair spray over letters to keep glitter from falling.

 

Yes, of course our secret weapon is something found right in our salon! Though we don’t always use our very best hair spray on glitter projects, all price ranges will do, and it’s sure to keep your glistening letters in tact like never before!

Hair How Too: The Fishtail

Fishtail braids always look plain and simple… until you start to do one yourself. Here at Sirens we don’t just want to do your hair, we want to teach you how to do it too! Our stylist, Lauren, took us through step-by-step instructions on how to perfect the perfect braid:

1) Part your hair into pony tails (or keep as one large braid if desired). Take the first half of hair and slit it down the middle.

2) Take a small portion of hair from the outside of one of the two halves and lace it over on top to the other half of hair.

3) Combine the laced piece with the existing half and repeat the step above from the opposite half.

4) Continue pulling hair from the outer sides of the two halves and lacing it over to the opposite side.

5) Continue tightening hair as you lace strands to either side. Tie ends off with a small rubber band and admire the awesome work you just did!
