Wendy Wendy!

I love Wendy Williams, and I mean I have been a big fan of Wendy's since her days on WBLS in New York. She was always a mystery to me, I wondered how her hair was styled and what was her appetite for fashion behind the airwaves back in the day. She seemed to always be in the know and kept her listeners up-to-date on her weekend slumber parties or the craziest run-ins she would have with notorious celebrities.

Well when 2009 arrived and I found out that Wendy Williams was going to have her own show on the national level, I was a was so proud of this lady; but it was also an opportunity for me to get to discover the whole Wendy Williams experience. When Wendy aired for the first week I was like wow! First of all I didn't know that Wendy was such an 'Amazon' a beautiful 'Amazon', but a 'Amazon' nonetheless. LOL!
Wendy Williams hairstyles come up in conversation at my salon all the time, along with discussions about Oprah's and Beyonce hair. So this is what we're talking about in Macon,Georgia.....A lot of Georgians are not even familiar with Wendy because her radio shows were not in many southern states. Now since she's on air some of my clients opinions are split but they can definitely tell you about her hair.
Wendy was the complete opposite of what I always envisioned her style to be, it was better. I always envisioned Wendy to be an 'Around-The -Way-Girl', you know like the ones that L.L. Cool J described in his old hit. Like Mary J. Blige, Fergie, Foxy Brown, or Lil Kim. However she was like a sophisticated Around-The -Way -Girl, with her 5-6 inch heels, tight 'Jersey Girl Club' dresses, and diamonds that shine like hi-beams coming from a car.

Wendy's look is always great but, recently the hairstyles have been switching up too much. Like for instance, we're all used to her long blonde layers she is known to rock, either straight or wavy;but then she switched to the shoulder length cut with the caramel blonde hue. I was really feeling the shorter look, it made her look more realistic for 'daytime' television. But then Wendy went back! I was like, "why"?

So, Wendy Wendy, the next time you want to change your fabulous hairstyle for your loyal fans and spectators.......take a poll!

I know your a strong, independent, and secure woman but your look is forever changing, make it interesting for the viewers and take a poll for your next new look. I look forward to voting!

Love you Wendy Wendy!!!

Salon Talk.....Summer's Hottest Fashion!

Yeah, I know it's not officially summer, but it's sure hot enough at the moment to convince me otherwise. Summer 2010 is definitely going to be a combustion of many fashion fusions that will work well with your swagger. Here are some fashion pieces and hairstyles that I will be hot on the list with many of the clients that I see in the salon, upcoming Atlanta Bronner Bros. hair show, and even in the media.

1. "When in Rome"- as the old saying goes do what the Romans do or just rack up on some sexy Roman style sandles, heels, thongs, and slides. The Roman sandals are being fused with various fashions this summer. These sandals were a big hit last summer and their continuing their rain in summer 2010. So get Roman!

2. Long Cotton Dresses- these dresses are cute and sexy at the same time, their cute with whatever tank you can pair the dress with, the only thing about this cute fashion statement is to make sure the long cotton dress is not too long and it's also flattering to your silhouette.
3. 'The Aviators'- The Aviator shades have ruled for the last two summers along with some Ray Bans. The Aviator's are my favorite (I own a pair myself) and their a clean look that compliments any style clothing you may happen to rock. I also like the Aviator's because their unisex, so ladies don't be mad when your man borrows your Aviator's this summer...he can do that this season..lol

4. M.C. Braid Master- You can rock your braid style anyway you like it! Right now i'm really feeling the tiny cornrows, Mohawks, Susan Taylor, and Locs. Weaves are beautiful but don't forget to incorporate your braid patterns along with the sew-in styles.

5. Smell Fresh- Perfumes, body sprays, mists, toilettes,bronzers, and body creams. Ditch the heavy make-up and let your natural skin glow. Concealer is a great alternative to heavy foundations to cover blemishes, and Shea Butter is a great moisturizer to utilize for healthy glowing summer skin. Olive Oil and Coco Butter are great with light fragrances added to them

6. Let's Work Out?- Yes, i'm definitely out of shape and the winter blahs did not help too motivate me to lose the extra pounds. Like many of you who did not have a chance to lose the weight and gain the curves in the winter and spring seasons. This is a great time to workout during the summer evenings, the warm temperature along with plenty of water will help you to lose the pounds faster than in cool weather (think about a hot sauna after a workout...sweat helps with the loss of water weight). This is also a great way to keep the children in shape during their summer break.

7. Great Stores-

Salon Talk......Sex Before Marriage-"Let's Start a New Trend"


Sex
Before marriage- "Let's Start a New Trend"
Yesterday, I was at work having Salon talk; and a Hair client and I were talking about the many reasons that we're still single for such a long period of time. Being single at 32 years old is not the worst thing in the world; but it can become very discouraging if the pickings are far and few between. My Hair client made a valid clue on why were still single, she made the connection between morals and not comprimising. The reason she made this connection is because, there is a growing population of women that are becoming second-time virgins. That's right "Second Time Virgins" and life has taught them; not to sell the milk before the whole cow has been purchased.
Sex before marriage can be a raw deal for many women that feel like their moral values are not respected by a potential husband. Or even worse marriage may never become a reality if a man knows that he can have sex without an emotional committment. So many Guys are always reinterating their looking for a good-woman and yet the good-women that they may come across becomes yesterday's trash because sex is not a top priority to these moral validated women. Rather most men establish committed relationships with women who have questionable lifestyles, just because their willing to sleep with them. The down fall to those relationships is are unwanted pregnacies, affairs, and deception that can come about because women that are easily swayed to sleep with men before marriage, are really not in a strong mindset. I propose that we start a new trend and begin a new concept in approaching relationships, let's start our relationships off right and withold from sex before marriage, it's not only a commitment but it's also a statement that you want the best for yourself.

What's your take on this blog?....I want to know

Chilli Wants a Man but Needs a New Hairdo

Chilli Wants a Man but Needs a New Hairdo
Don't get me wrong, Chilli is one of the prettiest women in the industry, but her outdated hairdo is really starting to boar me on her new hit reality show 'What Chilli Wants'. There is a notorious list that Chilli created for the plot of the show that i'm pretty sure your familiar with...you know the one that list the many traits her potential sutior has to live. However, along with that list should come a make over to really string the fella's in ....I feel like Chilli's look is to sweet and not enough sassy. Pretty hair does not equal fashionably liked hair. Let's get bold Chilli with the hair!

A great potential look for Chilli could be similar to one of the cute mohawk styles that everyone is turning heads with or maybe even adding some hair to her coif to fill the mane out. In today's entertainment industry you have to come with it and be memorable while finding the balance in being yourself...Chilli's not alone within her quest to find romance. There is also Tionna Smalls, her Love Therapist.
Tionna is definately a risk taker with her ever changing wig choices....this girl is definitely creative with her hair styling choices and fashion. She is always keeping the audience wondering what hairstyle she will rock from episode to episode. I look forward to this new talent to do big things in the industry. The only thing that Tionna needs to improve is the texture of some of the wig choices....at times (to a trained eye) it's obvious that the textures of the wigs are Fly .....but can at times look synthetic.

'Chili wants a Man' is a complete hit with me and also a guilty pleasure to watch all of the break up's to make up's with her Love Therapist, Tionna. But after Chili leaves the next appointment with her Psychiatrist, she needs to set up an appointment with the Hair Therapist.
