Fall Fashion & Color Trends

As Fall begins it journey through the changing of colors of the canvas of nature the same is happening in the fashion world. Some of the colors in clothing we are seeing this fall are Royal Blue, Deep Orange, Peach, Dark Teal, Deep Rust Red, Mustard Yellow, and Turquoise. All of them supported by coordinate of Black. Hair color and make up trends aim to accent these shades. Hair color has more Golden shades for Blondes, Vibrant Crimson Reds, and Deeper and Darker shades of Brown and Black.

Makeup also follows suit. Deeper lip colors in shades of Cherry Red, Deep Purple in more matte textures. Smokey eyes are still making a statement but now with more Brown tones. Green eye shadow is also being seen along with exaggerated eye liner. If those colors are too bold for you or just do not match your personality, go with gold colors on lips and eyes. Discover the new powders that highlight the face and diffuse skin perfections. Either way you go, try to have some fun with the new looks and make a change, even if it is just for a season!

Fad, Trend...or Classic Style?

As fashion evolves we often struggle with the decision to follow fashion or not. Understanding the categories of fashion is crucial to making a decision on your image.  Typical terms used are Fad, Trend, and or Classic. This blog we will discuss the "Fad" vs. Trend. 

A fad is any form of behavior that develops among a large population and is collectively followed with enthusiasm for a short period, generally as a result of the behavior's being perceived as novel in some way. A fad is said to "catch on" when the number of people adopting it begins to increase rapidly. The behavior will normally fade quickly once the perception of novelty is gone. 

Some people are considered a trendsetter because they start a fashion trend before most other people. So what is the difference between a fad and a trend. The difference is pretty simple. Fads are short-lived. Think of pet rocks and beanie babies. In fashion one fad that then became a trend that I think of is the mullet.

The mullet is a hairstyle that is short at the front and sides, and long in the back. The mullet began to appear in popular media in the 1960s and 1970s but did not become generally well-known until the early 1980s. It continued to be popular until the mid-1990s. Fads start with a personal discovery, followed by media attention and popularity, then followed by a mainstream of people. 

Trends on the other hand have staying power. They may take longer to evolve and build momentum but they have staying power. Trends can last years, and even decades. People may use the terms somewhat in the same manner, but respect that a fad is temporary, and a trend can be last for years, even decades. When people think of what's hot they label them trends, or trendy. 

Quite often what we consider a trend would really be better suited as a fad....

Summer Hair Care Strategies

Here we are right in the heat of things, between the summer sun,  chlorine, and the battle of attempting to keep your curly hair smoother or even straight during humid days. What to do?

Here are some tips:

Summer Sun can be brutal on Hair, especially on color treated hair. One of the best ways to help prevent fading is very simple, wear a hat! Also consider spraying in a leave-in conditioning treatment like Doyle Designed Healthy Hair Complex which contains a sunscreen to protect against sun damage. Chlorine is another culprit that can build up on the hair. My best tip is to think of your hair like a sponge. If it is dry compared to wet it will absorb more water and Chlorine. So wet your hair prior to entering into a pool or hot tub so that your hair is wet not dry therefore it will not absorb the chlorine as much. If you swim often consider using an anti-chlorine treatment system to remove build up. At Doyle Designed Salon we offer Anti- Chlorine treatments that include removing the chlorine build up and is followed by a deep conditioning treatment. Okay Curly Girls try to keep your curls moisturized during the summer months. Leave in conditioning balms like the new Doyle Designed Hair Care "leave in" balm will allow your hair to dry with less frizz and dryness.

If you are going to try to smooth out your curls by blow drying and flat ironing make sure to use a smoothing gel like Doyle Designed Smoothing then spray in Doyle Designed Thermal Protectant proceed to dry hair, then once you are ready to iron the hair again spray the thermal protectant on the hair in sections that you are putting an iron on. At the end apply a small amount of pomade of Doyle Designed Shine Repair to smooth out the fly aways!

Doyle Designed Salon Referral Campaign

Over the many years I have been in the beauty industry I have always believed that my current customers were the most important part of my success. Many people spend more money on marketing to new clients than recognizing and rewarding their inner circle of clients.

Recently Creative Age publications, a company that hundreds of thousands beauty professionals read every month in all segments of the beauty industry put out the question "What are you doing to give new life to your business this Spring?”

I have written articles for, and done photographic hair & makeup for their publications. So I decided that I would send in my idea for an April thru May recruitment campaign for new consumers, but referred by my current clients, and reward them with money and an incentive for the client who refers the most new clients a bigger reward to thank them for the referrals.

Below is the publication and the article which I am quoted in!
