Honey, Strawberry, Beige, Golden. Blondes come in a multitude of colors and shades. Some blondes are naturally fascinating, but after a long winter, need a little revving up. Some blondes are brunettes, who want to answer the age old question of why blondes have more fun.

No matter which type of blonde you are, I would enjoy customizing a unique blonde look to compliment your beautiful features and skin tone.

I can add a sparkle of blonde to any hair color with a few foils, or you can go all in, and all over.

Whether you want to try a little or a lot, I would love to add more blonde, which may lead to more fun, in your life.

Being a stylist for 8 years, I’ve recently devoted the majority of my education to color. Through this I have taken away a variety of new techniques and skills. I’ve always been fascinated with blonde hair, and now realize this is where my specialty lies!

It’s that time of year when the weather is warming up, the sandals are coming out, and vacations are being taken. What better way to get ready then to treat yourself to a manicure, pedicure, or an eyelash tinting with Jackie!

At Chameleon we offer warm cream, spa, and Shellac manicures and pedicures. Take advantage of pampering yourself with an exhilarating scrub and massage, while relaxing in one of our foot spas. Then, top your pedicure off with a beautiful and shiny OPI polish. If you are looking to get even longer out of your manicure, try our Shellac polishes; which are cured under our UV lamps, ultra shiny, and free of nicks, chips, and smudges for up to two weeks! It’s the perfect way to start off a vacation or special event.

Would you also like the appearance of fuller, thicker, and longer lashes? Eyelash tinting is a great way to accomplish this task. A vegetable based dye is hand painted onto the lashes and then sits for ten minutes. When the dye is rinsed away, your eyes are left looking bright and refreshed. This service is a great way to spruce up lashes with fairer coloring and make your eyes pop with color. Lash tinting will last up to four weeks, and gives the illusion of longer and thicker lashes. Tinting is also perfect for hot weather and swimming, where make up is just not desired.

So get ready and kick off the summer right! Come in to see Jackie in our North Haven location.

I have always loved the look of thick, full eyelashes. They accentuate the overall appearance of the eye, making it appear more awake and youthful, as well as more glamorous. Eyelashes come in many varieties for different eye shapes and occasions. False lashes are becoming trendier these days, and it’s a quick and easy five-minute trick that allows you to add another layer to your look making you stand out in a crowd!

There are two types of lashes, a full set of lashes and small clusters of individual lashes. I prefer the full sets because they are faster and easier, and that helps me streamline my makeup routine. Read More »

Everyone is always looking for the “Best Salon”  We have complied three solid ways to choose the best salon.

1) The 7 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Choosing A Salon

2) Four Tips in Choosing the Best Salon

“The 7 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Choosing A Salon &

How To Avoid Them”

Mistake #1: You pick a salon based only on price.

The old adage is true. “You get what you pay for.” This is especially true when choosing a salon. If you want the best services you should decide to deal with a salon because of the overall value you receive, NOT because they are the lowest price.

Here’s why:

Value = Quality + Service + Price

It is impossible for any business in any industry to offer the cheapest price, have the highest quality, and provide the best service all at the same time.

You can get high quality and super service, but you can’t get both and still get the lowest price.

Salons have a lot of overhead, employees, products, leases, continuing education, etc. If their prices are “too good to be true” then they are cutting comers somewhere. Whether it’s in the quality of their services and products, or the customer service they provide, something has to suffer to give you those low, low prices.

Total value is all three: Quality, Service, and Price. Read More »

Behind the Hair

Several months ago Chameleon Haircolor Cafe & Spa researched ways to help our clients reduce and eliminate wrinkles.  We found  LED Light Therapy from LightStim to be an effective way to permanently eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.

What is LED Light Therapy?

LED Light Therapy is the use of specific types of light which give off energy that stimulates your cells, thereby increasing the production of collagen and elastin. In turn, this makes your skin firmer, less wrinkled, and younger looking. This is known as LED Light Therapy.

LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. Diodes give off energy in the form of light. These little diodes are compact, durable, powerful, bright, efficient, and when used in combination with LightStim’s patent pending engineering, produce rejuvenating effects on the skin.

LED Light Therapy is an Over-The-Counter FDA cleared for periorbital wrinkles!

Norvell products and sprays are the top of the line. In fact when we attended our training the educators told us that even if you don’t have the Norvell system (which we do) you should stick to that solution. I personally love it. You always look even and healthy. The active ingredient is derived from sugar cane and beets Read More »
