Celebrity Hair Style Inspiration

Today was a huge day for me!!  I had my first haircut and color in New Orleans.  Anyone who has moved knows that there is a certain anxiety related to finding your new stylist.  Rather than randomly select a salon near our house or my office, I asked around, and based on a recommendation from a friend, I booked an appointment with Christopher at Coloriage.  He was amazing!  I had a consultation with him last month and we talked about how I style my hair and what products I use.  He spent a half hour with me discussing what my goal hairstyle would be.  

This was my inspiration...

I love Julia's cut and color here!!!!  It's such a pretty combination of colors.  Her hair is warm and has a caramel tone that I think brightens up her face!!  And the texture around her face is fabulous.


I think Christopher did an amazing job of bringing this hairdo to life today.  He spent so much time making sure that each highlight was well placed.  I left feeling fabulous and very excited and relieved!  It's hard to see the true tone in this picture, and I didn't have time to have it curled, but in person you can see how well blended the highlights are.  

I think next time, I might be brave enough to have Christopher lighten up the front even more!

  5. Yes, we need a pic! :) I am glad it went well. It took me a LONG time to find someone that I like in Minneapolis. I've been going to my girl now for a year and it's such a relief to have someone I know and trust!!

  6. You look lovely! And I know exactly the anxiety you're talking about. Though I'm from Virginia, I now live in a different town and it took me three tries(and a really bad cocker-spaniel inspired haircut) before I found the fantastic stylist I now have.

  7. this is so weird! i used to get my haircut at coloriage back in 2004 and i am almost positive it was by christopher (it's been a while...). i had a terrible incident where some innocent done-by-a-friend-highlights turned my hair red. he did a great job of sorting me out! i hope you are enjoying being back in nola!

  10. I love your hair! It looks so pretty. When I was living in NOLA I never found someone to do my hair. It's always such a tough thing to find when you move. But you lucked out and it looks great!
