Halloween Hair Advice - Be Scary, Stay Stylish and Don't Wreck Your Hair!

Do you have a Halloween party coming up that you plan to dress up for and have fun? As a salon owner and hairdresser for over 30 years it scares me how many people take their carefully colored hair and dye it green or pink using homemade concoctions that are supposed to wash right out. The next day they are calling me to repair the damage and color their hair again. Its expensive and avoidable. There is a better way!

This Halloween, take my advice and color your hair the safe way using professional semi-permanent hair color for less than $20.

We recommend Fudge Paintbox Hair Colors. They have great colors like Hot Chilli Red, Purple Haze, Goldfinger, Blue Velvet, Pink Moon, Pretty Flamingo, Corvette Red and Vendetta Red. For hairspray we recommend Fudge Paintbox Silver Glitter Hairspray, Rainbox Glitter Hairspray and Gold Glitter Hairspray for some Halloween sparkle. More

Metropolis Introduces Wireless Mini Flat Iron. Style On The Go!

Its always so disappointing when you spend time to look good in the morning only to find out later in the day that your hair is a complete mess. You may have tried mini flat irons or travel irons in the past and concluded they are not hot enough to do the job. I thought so too until I tried the Metropolis Wireless Mini Flat Iron. I am talking about a mini flat iron that puts out 400 degrees for 25 minutes before it needs recharging. This temperature is hot enough to straighten your hair without damaging it. At only 7.5 inches you can fit it in your purse quite easily. The best part is that it’s completely wireless. Just charge it up and take it with you. Metropolis offers a no-hassle warranty so if you buy one and don’t like it you can just return it no questions asked. At HairFlix, we offer an exclusive extended manufacturer warranty so that you are completely covered for 2 years. More
