Style?

When it comes
to hair styles, there are so many different options today to make
changes. You can change your color, add highlights, add bangs, add
layering and even add length or thickness with hair extensions.
Makeovers are becoming more and more popular as television shows
such as ABC’s Extreme Makeover outline how a makeover is done and
drastic changes that can be done.
Hair stylist, Gia Wood of Salon D in Dallas, Texas
specializes in makeovers and hair extensions and is considered
Dallas’ makeover specialist. She has hundreds of clients locally and
many clients that fly or drive in to Dallas for her services. One of
her clients flies all the way from Spain just to get her hair done.
Gia says, “I find that clients who are willing to drive or fly that
far just to get their hair done are the biggest compliment and the
proof of my success.”
So what is this makeover fuss all
about? Gia explains that most of her clients have either been the
victim of an inexperienced stylist or have simply not thought enough
about the change in hairstyle they wanted and they are now stuck
with something they hate. Gia adds, “Most of my makeovers include
color correction, which can be highlights, color, gloss or all of
the above. Makeovers also include a haircut and style, along with
makeup application. The total process can take around 4 hours to
complete.”
Gia says, "When dealing with color correction,
the first thing every client asks me is '...how damaged will my hair
be after a color correction?'" Believe it or not, color correction
is not as damaging as it used to be. The old way of stripping hair
color out with bleach is history. Modern day products allow hair
stylists to remove 'artificial pigment' only, meaning that it will
not open, damage, or split the cuticle of the hair in any way. This
allows hairdressers to remove the most intense colors from hair, and
allow it to be re-colored in the same appointment time."
Gia
will also offer suggestions for change in color and style to fix any
problems a client reports with their hair. “For example, if a client
has a brassy blonde color, I will suggest a bleach highlight or an
ash toner to offset the brass color.” She explains.
Getting
a successful makeover depends on the experience of the stylist. Gia
further explains, “My previous clients and even new clients trust my
experience level and let me do what ever I feel like with their
hair. Most of the time when I’m doing a makeover, I am usually
correcting another stylist’s color or haircut. I usually ask my
clients what or who they would like to look like and to give a firm
example of what they like and don’t like. And, even if a client
loves the way her hair looks, they may be looking for a change to
further improve their hair style.”
Photos of styles the
client likes are very helpful to hair stylists. Gia adds, “Clients
and stylists have different vocabularies. For example, Bangs. There
are a thousand ways to wear bangs.” Gia recommends bringing at least
three photos of the hair style you want so your stylist does not get
confused.
Gia also keeps a computer at her work station to
look up hair styles online (such as a past hair style of a
celebrity) if a client does not have photos or cannot remember
certain styles they like. The computer eliminates the need for bulky
portfolio books.
“Once the client and I have decided on a
style and color,” Gia explains, “We discuss what it will take to get
the clients hair to that hair style.” Most of the time the exact cut
and color are achieved in one day. But Gia mentions that some
clients that are growing their hair out may take several months and
appointments to reach their overall goal. Human hair extensions
(human hair extensions are attached directly to the natural hair)
are also an option for clients that don’t want to wait for their
hair to grow out.
Gia’s makeover experience is
well-documented on her website: http://www.hairbygia.com Many before
and after photo examples of makeovers, including hair extensions can
be seen for your reference. Gia is quickly becoming the talk of the
town with recent appearances on the television show “Austin Nights”
(Segment can be viewed on her website) for her hair extensions
services. She was also interviewed for the Number One best selling
E-book by Hair Resources, 2005’s Most Popular Hair Extensions and
participated as a Judge in their Nationwide Bridal Hair Style
Contest.
In short, if you are sick and tired of your hair
style and need a makeover, a trip to visit Gia Wood at Salon D in
Dallas, Texas may well be worth your time, money…and
happiness!
