Our girl Karla had an amazing experience in the salon yesterday that we thought was share worthy. These are her words after working with a new client who reached out to us:

 

“The Internet is a powerful tool if used correctly. It gets your name out there and leads people(in my case) sitting in my chair. This client moves state to state with her husband every 10 months and never knows where she will end up next. She began looking up hashtags and different salons in Austin and found my work and loved what she saw! I know all my posts are probably annoying to some, but to me it’s advertising my art. Put it out into the universe, and it shall give back.”

 

Our work is our art, and even more so our livelihood. We are honored to let them be one in the same!

 

 

Stay dangerously beautiful, Sirens Salon

 

 

Makeing The Change

Posted on by Tagged , , , , , |

This past week we did the impossible… We cut our marketing directors hair!! A natural case of length loosing fear, our girl got into the chair and never looked back.

Taking off the dead ends allowed her hair to glow in all its glory! A common mistake we see in the salon is clients holding on to dead ends to preserve length. In reality, holding onto those ends only causes breakage and thinning.

By giving her one even length on the bottom and removing those broken bottoms she is able to grow her hair out in a healthy more natural way.

Don’t be afraid of change. And always remember, it’s hair, it will grow back!!

Not only was our time in London full of AMAZING hair classes and hands on experience, but we had the chance to see one of the worlds most renowned salons, too! Greeted with a jaw dropping escalator ride to the top floor, we dawned the beauty that is Harrods with fab cappuccino in hand.

1. What was your first thought when walking into Harrods?
Such extreme luxury in one place! Everything was above and beyond what I had seen at other department stores.


2. What was your favorite thing to see?
The Hammam. It’s an old tradition that no one really practices any more, and a cultural thing that other countries are so much closer to than we are in America.


3. What is something that you would want to implement from Harrods at Sirens?
The fluidity and professionalism for their clientele. Everything was very thought through from the moment a client calls to when they leave the salon. You could see a large difference in having a more personal salon like ours versus a 100 person staff. Things there have to be very direct to keep the operation running.

1. What was your first thought when walking into Harrods?
Wow. The entire place was decked out in gold decor. It was crazy to walk into!


2. What was your favorite thing to see?
The view of London you could see when we walked up to the nail salon was so fabulous. I couldn’t stop staring out the wall of windows.


3. What is something that you would want to implement from Harrods at Sirens?
I liked that we were inline with them when it came to serving our customers in a high end manner. We allow our clients the options to have drinks and coffee much like they did to us at Harrods.

The Magic And Myths Of Day(s) Old Hair

Posted on by Tagged , , , |

day_old_hair_by_sirens

Much like Matthew McConaughey is known for ditching the deodorant, we are getting in on the grunge look too! Don’t worry dolls; we aren’t ditching the smell blockers, just cutting the daily hair washes. That’s right, your own stylists are saying it’s time to stop shampooing so often, and here’s why:

 

By washing your hair daily you strip the follicles of their natural oils. Even the most organic and natural of products can cause distress. By washing your hair every couple of days you give your head a break and keep your color looking fresh longer! Bonus, having day(s) old hair allows for better and longer lasting styling/updos.

 

And now, for the myths to squash RIGHT NOW:

1. Won’t my hair be greasy? We suggest investing in some fab hats for the first week or two of your no washing project. But after that your hair will stay looking fabulous throughout! And for those days that need just a little help, we suggest Unite 7 Seconds Refresher.

2. Won’t I get lice? Though you might not believe it, lice is more prone to clean hair so not washing isn’t going to make you a target!

3. Won’t my hair smell bad? From personal experience, we have yet to smell any of our girls’ hair : ) But, when it comes down to it, Unite always has our back! Their Hair Perfume is perfect for an inbetween wash fresh smell.

 

For more info on day(s) old hair ask your stylist at your next appointment!

Corrected by Sirens

Sometimes new clients end up at Sirens looking for a solution to their current color woes. This is when we bring in the big guns and get down to the service in which we specialize: color correction!

 

Much like any other service, our stylists take time to consult and assess the current situation. Keeping budget in mind, they will find the best way to have you walk out confident in your new do. Something to keep in mind when going in for a color correction is that you might not leave with the exact look you are thinking. Fixing a problem can be timely and costly; it’s a process that we want to get right!

 

Hair integrity is also something we always consider with color corrections. As much as we want to achieve your desired look, we also want to make sure to keep your hair as healthy as we can in the process. It is very important for clients to be honest and upfront about any and ALL hair history. Chemicals and past dye jobs will effect the outcome of your color correction.

In this exact instance our client had untouched roots, a band of past black hair dye and ombre she was unhappy with. Our stylist, Lauren, worked to give her a cohesive look as realistically close to the blonde photos she brought in while keeping her budget in mind. After several closely monitored steps this new Sirens client left feeling confident and beach babe blonde all over!

We have been asking for weeks, and the cold is finally here! With changing leaves and added layers, we can’t wait to start rolling out the endless winter hair possibilities. From color to caps, we are bringing you our three favorite trends for this winter wonderland.

1. The Turban

Obviously this isn’t a new trend, but we are swooning over the chic turban look. From full head wraps to simple head bands, wrapping up your locks is the perfect way to add class to any look. Add a pair of oversized sunglasses and you are ready to rock it!

2. The Brimmed Hat

If you have not yet seen these hats out and about then we suggest you come shopping with us! The brimmed hat is happening and we hope it’s here to stay. From fedoras to wide-brims, we use these to cover up a not so perfect hair day and protect ourselves from that good old Texas wind.

3. The Merlot

Hello adventurous gals, we are talking to you with this winter trend! It’s being deemed the merlot, and the color is just as tasty as the wine. This year it’s all about being bold, and there is no better way to be bold than changing your look. Let us take you from your everyday look to a head-turning beauty.
