BEAUTY SECRET NUMBER 1: Protect your hair, as well as your skin, from the sun. Use sunscreen on your scalp at the part. Lip balm with sunscreen will work.
BEAUTY SECRET NUMBER 2: Don’t try to style soaking wet hair; get it 80% dry first.
BEAUTY SECRET NUMBER 3: To prevent wrinkles and sagging, always apply creams with firm upward strokes. Don’t forget to protect your neck too; it’s the first part to show signs of aging and yet it’s the most neglected.
MISTAKE NUMBER 1:
Selecting a stylist based only on price.
The old adage is true, “you get what you pay for.” This is especially true when choosing a stylist. If you want the best service, you should decide to deal with a stylist because of the overall value you receive. Not because they are the lowest price. Here’s why: Value = Quality + Service + Price
It’s 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.
TIP ONE: Choosing a stylist solely by price doesn’t work. The truth is when we invest wisely, we get what we pay for: great services and guarantees. Remember if you call the cheapest stylist you’ll get a so-so job, done with very little service, poor products and no guarantees. The lowest priced stylist is often no bargain at all.
TIP TWO: Make sure you see examples of a stylists work. Ask to see pictures and ask for references or testimonials. Make sure the stylist is straight with you. Often times the difference between leaving the stylist in tears of pain or tears of joy is simple communication.
I’ve been knitting for about 4 years now. I’m currently taking a Nihon Vogue Knitting program that entails a 8 year educational track. This program is taught in Japan, and the University level. Why take such a class? I’ve noticed there was a lack of consistency and structure in knitting classes here in the United States. Even patterns are inconsistent…and the pattern makers make large assumptions on the skill level of the knitter. For example, a pattern I’m working on, a man’s cardigan the cast-on is assumed that is will be a knitted cast-on, as opposed to a long-tail cast -on…thus your RS (right side) and WS (wrong side) are opposites….this is a big deal when dealing with button holes, etc. This program is known as a tailored knitting program: knitting garments that fit your body specifications. We learn to make our patterns to our body specifications…and by the details of the stitches and tailing methods, you achieve a custom fit.
