Nikki Prendergast the Stylist

Do you have commitment issues when it comes to your hair?⁠
⁠
You have been dreaming about this cute haircut for ages but you know that you would have to come in every 4-5 weeks to keep the shape up.⁠
⁠
Not true!⁠
⁠
You can get this haircut to last 6 weeks.⁠
⁠
I always let my guests know that they can come in between to get their neck cleaned up. We need to keep you looking sharp! ⁠

Who is decluttering their house? 🙋🏻‍♀️ I know I am! ⁠
⁠
Selling your house and getting ready to move is exhausting. So I have been going through everyone of my cabinets.⁠
⁠
My bathroom cabinets were a disaster! Looking at my brushes just made me cringe. I can't believe I was hanging onto them!⁠
⁠
So let's take a minute to talk about your hair brushes. When was the last time you replaced them? 🤔⁠
⁠
While the time frame varies, even if you clean them regularly, you should replace them sooner than you think.⁠
⁠
Here is why...⁠
⁠
☆ Every time you brush your hair, the bristles are accumulating product, dead skin cells and oil. So when you brush your hair, you are adding that back into your hair. ⁠
⁠
❗️This can weigh it down, snag strands and cause common scalp issues like dandruff and eczema.❗️⁠
⁠
Take a look at the bristles. Are you missing any? If the bristles are fraying or melted, it's time to say farewell.⁠
⁠
How old is your hair brush?⁠

“Help, I want a change but I don’t want to cut my hair off!”⁠
⁠
I get this one a lot… You actually have quite a few options I bet you never thought about.⁠
⁠
→ When was the last time you had bangs?⁠
⁠
This is a great option and there are so many different types of fringe that you can go with. Search on Pinterest for:⁠
⁠
☆ Curtain Bang⁠
☆ Side Swept Bang⁠
☆ Full Bang⁠
☆ Piecey Bang⁠
☆ Baby Bangs⁠
⁠
→ Have you tried cutting your layers shorter or letting them grow?⁠
⁠
Layers can be tricky. If you get your interior cut too short, it can cause your hair to late flat to your head. It’s all about finding the right balance for your hair density and texture.⁠
⁠
→ When was the last time you tried changing up how you style your hair?⁠
⁠
Using different hair products, whether it’s shampoo, conditioner or styling products, will give you a different look. How about trying a different styling tool? Get yourself that new curling iron that you have been eyeing for awhile now!⁠

You guys, guess what....⁠
⁠
We did it!!! My husband and I finished the repairs on the house and got it on the market.⁠
⁠
It sold in less than 2 days.⁠
⁠
I learned some valuable lessons through all this. ⁠
⁠
→ Don't let stuff go in regards to your house. When you see something that needs to be repaired, just go ahead and do it.⁠
⁠
→ Purge crap you don't need on a regular basis! I can't believe the amount of crap we have. And I haven't even tackled the attic yet! 🤦🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
I have to say, now that the house is cleaned out and everything is organized, it's nice to have a clean space.⁠

Do you prefer a paper book or an e-reader?⁠
⁠
When e-readers first came out, I wasn't sure if I could give up my paper books.⁠
⁠
I love being able to go on vacation and not having to pack all the books that I think I am going to read. 😂⁠
⁠
It's also nice being able to grab my ipad or my phone and pick up where I left off on my kindle.⁠
⁠
But there is something about holding a book and turning the pages.⁠
⁠
I find it interesting that half of our guests bring in a kindle and the other half bring in paper books to the salon.⁠
⁠
Our girls trip is coming up! Now I just need to figure out where I put the darn thing, lol.⁠

Have you ever had a blow dryer blow up in your hand?⁠
⁠
I have 🙋🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
I was fanning my clients hair and my dryer started to sounds funny. It had this rattle kind of sound. Then it started to blow really cold air and then, BAM, sparks shot out the back. I screamed and dropped it. 🤦🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
Being a professional, I should have known the signs. But I just ignored them hoping I could get through the day. ⁠
⁠
Here are some signs that you might need a new hair dryer...⁠
⁠
☞ You hear a rattling noise⁠
⁠
☞ It takes a long time for your hair to dry⁠
⁠
☞ Been using it to long with the filter clogged⁠
⁠
☞ It takes longer to heat up⁠
⁠
☞ It switches from hot to cold⁠
⁠
☞ The wires are exposed⁠
⁠
☞ You cannot remember when you bought it⁠
⁠
Do yourself and your hair a favor, get a new hair dryer. You don't want your hair dryer to give you a haircut, do you?⁠
⁠
Send me a message if you want to know what my favorite hair dryer is!⁠
⁠

Want to know a secret on how to find the perfect picture for your stylist?⁠
⁠
You know that feeling when you are so excited to get your haircut? You are ready, have all your pictures saved to your phone and your stylist tells you that the pictures you picked out won’t work? ⁠
⁠
Want to know what to look for when looking for hair pics?⁠
⁠
✂︎ What kind of hair texture do you have?⁠
✂︎ What is the density of your hair?⁠
⁠
Your hair texture is the degree of thickness of each actual hair strand.⁠
• Coarse⁠
• Medium⁠
• Fine⁠
⁠
Hair density is the amount of hair strands per square inch on the scalp.⁠
• High (Thick)⁠
• Medium⁠
• Low (Thin)⁠
⁠
What does all of this mean?⁠
⁠
Search for:⁠
☞ fine thin short haircuts⁠
☞ thick coarse short haircuts⁠
⁠
Look for pictures that reflect your hair type. And keep in mind that color plays a big role. You can have the same haircut on a blonde and it will completely different on a brunette.⁠
⁠
So I’m curious, what kind of hair do you have?⁠
⁠

Why you need to try a deluxe deep conditioning treatment?⁠ ⁠
⁠
Deep conditioners are the secret to healthy, soft and shiny hair. ⁠
⁠
Don't you want to have:⁠ ⁠
❥ Tangle free hair⁠ ⁠
❥ Prevent damage⁠ ⁠
❥ Promote elasticity ⁠
❥ Healthier looking hair⁠ ⁠
⁠
Deep conditioners work by penetrating deep into the hair shaft, delivering nutrients and proteins to strengthen it.⁠ ⁠
⁠
At the same time, they provide a protective outer coating to safeguard hair from general wear and tear, as well as environmental toxins.⁠
⁠
I absolutely love R+Co concentrates! One treatment lasts up to 4 weeks 🙌⁠
⁠
The best part, there is a treatment for everyone!⁠ ⁠
☞ Fine hair need a lift?⁠ ⁠
☞ Crave a kick of color vibrancy?⁠ ⁠
☞ Dry strands thirsty for hydration?⁠ ⁠
☞ Frizz overshadowing shine?⁠ ⁠
☞ Brass dimming your blonde?⁠ ⁠
⁠
Which one do you want to try?⁠ Comment below 💋⁠

Everyone has thought about cutting their hair off at some point, right?⁠
⁠
But you are worried that you don’t have the face shape for it. Am I right?⁠
⁠
Well, you do!⁠
⁠
Pixie haircuts aren’t reserved for those with immaculate bone structure and flawless everything else.⁠
⁠
There’s a shape for everyone and anyone.⁠
⁠
✃ Oval Face shapes can pull off almost any pixie haircut.⁠
⁠
✃ Rounder faces look better with a side bang.⁠
⁠
✃ Square faces look best with a shaggy pixie.⁠
⁠
✃ Heart-shaped faces will want a shape with a soft bang.⁠
⁠
So when you're loading up your Pinterest board with pics, make sure you are searching for pics that have similar:⁠
☞ Face shape⁠
☞ Texture⁠
☞ Density⁠
☞ Color⁠
⁠
What do you think, should I cut mine off?⁠
