Salutations from Paris

As promised I am keeping my eyes and ears open to the sights of hair and fashion as I visit and revisit new and favorite Parisian haunts such as  Montmartre , The Effiel Tower , and The Arc de Triomphe . These visits have included many Metro rides and a lot of walking.  Parisians and tourists alike are sporting a variety of hats and scarves.  A popular scarf appears to be the striped scarf, tres elegant! Under most chapeaux Parisian hair appears to be strikingly similar to what I see and create myself back home in Oakland, California at Right Angle Salon .  I have noticed more women sporting short hair but what has really caught my attention is the attention to detail for one's entire look from the hat to the boots !  Men, women, and children wear an ensemble that strikes an elegant, coordinated effect.  My husband and I have been asked more than once for help from tourists - perhaps the Parisian look has rubbed off on us as well : )

Christmas Chic

It is the busiest month of the year in the salon and I am getting ready to go to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam for my 25th Wedding Anniversary!! Me pre Paris I am so excited!  I grew up in London and believe it or not went to Paris for the first time for a school trip when I was ten years old.  I am so glad my mum and dad said I could go.  I felt so grown up going off to Paris with our headmistress,  Mrs Gibbs, my favorite teacher, Mr Stretton and my school friends.  It was a magical time, seeing the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysee and Nortre Dame for the first time. I like to think that growing up in London and visiting Paris influenced me in my love for the beauty industry and the world of fashion.  London always on the cutting edge and the French always so chic. Speaking of chic I have added a link below for you of 20 holiday styles to view for inspiration! Top 20 Holiday Hairstyles - Daily Makeover Also here is a helpful hint, ...
