A Closer Look at Shandy's Faves

As you you've already heard, Shandy is our featured stylist of the month- and with that comes featured products. These products were specifically chosen as her two favorites and for the month of December, and we are offering them at buy one get one half off! Now we just need to familiarize you with them, so you can see why they would be perfect to amp up your holiday (or everyday) hairstyles!

The products are Morrocanoil Hairsprays (Medium&Strong) and Root Boost. Both come from the luxury line MoroccanOil, which we very proudly carry in its entirety!

I had Shandy answer  couple of questions to further explain why these are here preferred products.

Q: What is it about the Morrocanoil Hairsprays and the Root Boost that stands out to you the most, and why should someone purchase them?
A: "The hairsprays and the root boost are great products for the person who doesn't like to feel products in their hair. The hairsprays are made to be buildable, so if you want a light hold just do a light mist once or twice. If you want something a little stronger, you just spray on a few more coats. With the root boost, it gives you great volume, especially if you're blow drying your hair upside down. People should by the products because they do exactly what they say they say they will do while still allowing your hair to feel like hair."

                                

Q: La Brezzas are your fave service to provide, could you explain what would be the ideal occasion for coming in to get one? And explain each style and what it would go with best.

A: "I couldn't tell you how many times people tell us they wish we could come to their homes every morning to do their hair. La Brezzas give people the chance to have their hair done for that special occasion-like the baby shower or bridal shower, or even something every day; like a woman with arthritis who has trouble styling her own hair. Either way, they can come get their hair styled, and leave feeling gorgeous.

There are four styles of La Brezza and each one can be adapted to meet your needs:

The Milano is our signature style. This is our big, voluminous style that is done with the round brush. This would be the perfect hairstyle for a guest going to a daytime wedding.

The Firenze is our completely straight style. This look is perfect for our curly haired girls who want that changed up look without spending hours trying to do it themselves.

The Napoli is our big, curly style. This style would be perfect for that girls' night out, when you want to look fun and flirty.

Last, but not least, is my personal favorite: The Portofino. This look is our loose, carefree, beach wave look. This look could really take you anywhere, from your sister's baby shower to that date night with hubby"

There you have it: we now know more about the products and you have been given an idea on just when you could possibly need La Brezza services! (from the looks of it, I'd say any excuse is a good one) No matter what the occasion, you should take full advantage of our sweet December deals on these products and La Brezza.

After all....'Tis The Season to be jolly (and beautiful)

Featured Stylist of the Month: Shandy

Here at La Bella, we like to consider our salon an intimate, yet upscale environment in which we take pride in personalizing the experience for each and every one of our unique and beautiful clients. Not only that, we are also an extremely tight-knit, family-like group who embraces each other for our own special talents, personalities, and style... after all, each one of us contributes a special ingredient to the recipe that is the La Bella Hair Studio Experience! Month by month we will be featuring a different hairstylist to offer you the opportunity to get to know us better, and to give us the opportunity to shine one by one!

The Featured Stylist of the Month for December is....

Shandy!!

Shandy is our newest team member! Though she started out on the track toward a career in accounting, Shandy stumbled upon her love of cosmetology while doing her cousin’s hair & makeup for special occasions. She attended Empire Beauty School and received her cosmetology license in January 2013. As one of our Junior Stylists, she underwent La Bella’s training program when she started here while assisting her fellow stylist and building a committed clientele. She has been a natural at getting to know & working with La Bella’s great team and awesome clients, and we have been very lucky to have her as part of our family.

Q: How long have you been in the industry?

I have had my license since January 2013.

Q: What is your favorite service to preform, and why? 

I love doing La Brezzas. It's so fun to have a client come in, who is just taking the time to pamper themselves. Sometimes it's for a special occasion. Other times, it's just for the fun of it. The other week I even had a client come in for a costume party. It is just so fun to see the confidence that comes from someone getting their hair professionally styled.

Q: What are your two favorite products, and why? 

I absolutely love the MoroccanOil Hairsprays and the Root Boost.

I love that the hairsprays are designed to be applied in layers, so that you don't get that super sticky, 80s feel when it's applied. Your hair still feels like hair. I like the Root boost for the same reason. It has great hold and really gives amazing volume, but the hair doesn't feel like there is a ton of product in it.

Q: How would you describe your personal style/niche? 

Country Chic, like Carrie Underwood or Miranda Lambert ....I love dressing up when the occasion calls for it, but on my down days, I live in jeans and t-shirts.

Q:What is your number one beauty tip? 

Always take good care of your skin and hair! Drink water, take vitamins, take your make up off before bed! Any new hair style or make up look will only look as good as the skin/hair that is underneath it!

Q: What is your favorite quote?

"Never Give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway." - Earl Nightingale

As always, we each had something special to say about Shandy--

Susannah: "Shandy is fantastic. She's eager to learn and quick to pick up new techniques! She's always pushing herself to learn something new. In addition, she's extremely helpful and reliable as a team member. I love working with her!"

Eric-Michael: "From the day I met Shandy I realized she had a hunger for knowledge and desire to work like none I've seen in a long time. It's because of that and her ability to be down to earth sweet and heartfelt with everyone she meets. It is because of those qualities that she has become an important member of our team. I see a very bright future for this young person and wish her all the luck in every endeavor she undertakes."

Jessie: "If you've had the pleasure of meeting Shandy, then you already know she is one of the sweetest people on earth! Along with a kind heart she is also generous, passionate about her work, and savvy. I love that Shandy is always seeking to learn and staying up to date with what is going on in our industry. Her desire to grow and compassionate attitude make her an imperative part of our team. I truly enjoy having her work at La Bella!"

Sarah: "Shandy has an amazing thirst for knowledge. She's always looking for new opportunities to explore her field further as well as take on new techniques in hair and makeup. She's also a kind and patient person with her clients and friends. What makes her a great friend and stylist is her ability to listen and really relate to people. Her country charm makes her really accessible as a person and makes her clients feel easy in her chair."

Shanti: "There are so many wonderful/special things to say about Shandy, I don't even know where to start. She is by far the most motivated person in our industry I have seen in years, and it is extremely inspiring to see her eagerness to be the best at anything she can. Not only does she go above and beyond with her work, she spends her down time researching the latest trends and techniques...Seriously, if you catch her at anytime she is not on her feet I can guarantee she is watching a Youtube video of some sort of new hair or makeup technique! She takes pride in her work, isn't afraid to ask for help, and in turn is always offering a helping hand. She has such a humbling personality which is nothing short of genuine sincerity, empathy, and there is not an ounce of judgement exuding from her. She is somebody we are all privileged to know and work with, and I have just loved being around her!"
