There is always something new going on at Salon Lisa Lisa!
One of our Salon team members, Shelly Marasco, is a brand new Stella & Dot stylist. I had a trunk show to support her new effort....along with my "Blueberry Naughty Girl" cocktails.  It was a lovely evening at the salon with friends!

This was such a fun "Girls Night Out "....It was a total success! Good times had by all who attended. Thanks for a great night ladies!

I found some fun flirty "Bobs" to show you, sort of a "Bob" collection as it were. I love this daring cut out on the sides. It can be bold or hidden, kinda fun!

Beautiful angled bob with ombre color techniques employed here, super fun and feminine and soft!

So many fun and "piecy" shattered Bob looks that are so popular right now, also really fun as stylists to do for our clients!

Toasting my Birthday at Cin Cin in Los Gatos. Definitely one of the best happy hour places in town. Great food, wine and drinks anytime!
Picture
This looks like a magical setting for an amazing party!  No pressure Babe...I'm just having fun...this is not a hint of any kind!
Picture
So many fun ideas rolling around in my head about how to spend my 50th Birthday.....Exotic destinations? Mello beach retreat? City excursion? Weekend away with Couples? Girls weekend? An amazing drive up the coast? Wine tasting? Fine dining? The list can go on and on, and I hope that it does because I have  now earned (at this advanced age) what shall be named from this day forward as Birthday Month! As it turns out, my boyfriend Scott  is in charge of the festivities so we shall have to wait and see where this month and he take me. I can't wait....it is sure to be an adventure....Scott is such an amazing planner!!

Picture
Another cool party vibe!

Picture
I love this idea...putting glow sticks in the ice...so clever!
Picture
Delicious hors d'oeuvres...I'm a big fan of finger foods! Easy to eat and socialize at a party!
Picture

I have so much fun planning my outfit, getting my nails and pedicure done, and primping for a special party or event! Check out these amazing nails....I've seen so many new cool ideas lately. It's crazy whats happening with nail art right now!

Can you believe these amazing eyes? 







"50" is going to be FABULOUS! Experimenting with new looks for your eyes can be a blast! Try bringing a favorite picture of amazing eyes with you to a makeup counter appointment or to a makeup artist for that special party or event!

Andrea Thomas pictured here at Salon Lisa Lisa  is a client of mine at home from Oberlin College in Ohio over the Holiday break. I had fun crafting this cut for her! 
Check out these super sexy flirty short haircuts! I love doing them and they are so versatile, worn tousled and down or up and edgy. 
Change is so much fun, and January can be such a great month to be daring and new with your look and personal style! Its so liberating to finally do it and just go short and have fun with it!

More fun party ideas. Hanging pictures from balloons for a special event like a '50th" Birthday could be really interesting. I can imagine many parties where this could work.

Picture
I Think rocking a stash for a party could be a silly fun time! I will chat and eat h'ordervres and sip cocktails all while wearing one...sounds like fun to me!

I have a new passion that I discovered over the holidays.....online shopping! I've been watching my boyfriend Scott do it for about a year and a half now...and of course my daughter Hannah is a pro! Packages arriving all the time. In talking with a few of my clients I have discovered some fan favorites. This little shawl here is an "etsy" find....don't go there if you are in a hurry! I love the casual vibe and it looks so soft and cuddly!

Carol Gianandrea, a long time client of mine has helped me with a list of fun online shopping sites. If you have any to add please feel free to do so in the comments section!

This bag is amazing and I really want to find this! It is said that it is probably a FRYE brand briefcase which means it is crazy expensive but excellent quality! Did I say that I really want this?
Picture
Another cool Etsy find...I think this is such a sweet and simple design...Love it!
Picture
Imagine this as a bunch of adults...this could be very funny and delicious! Who doesn't love a good party game?


These Strawberries have been soaked in your favorite Vodka for an hour and then dipped in white chocolate until set. I imagine 85% dark chocolate would work just as well! Talk about yummy party favors!

I couldn't resist sharing Socrates' visit with you. He brought his owner Joelle Chapman in for her hair appointment. There is no mistaking how much he loves his mommy!

Scott and Lisa at Scott's surprise birthday party
First can I say that I have been booking clients smack up to Christmas for weeks upon weeks now and I still can't believe the season is upon us! It is a full blown case of denial as I have had to look the other way (since before Halloween) averting my eyes from the copious amounts of holiday decorations screaming out at me long before they should.  Some of my amazing clients declaring with a light hearted smugness that they have finished their christmas shopping early! What? How can this be? Alright 2014....that wizzed by like an out of control train with failing brakes.....I for one am slowing it down to enjoy this holiday season and share with you some gorgeous trends in hair & beauty, fashion & fun things to do.....and some awesome holiday recipes I have found that I think you will love!

 I hope you will begin "anew" with me and visit here often as I plan to share with you what is fun to do around our local area for dining out and live music. I would love to hear of your great finds too.....lets have fun together!

Styles to consider this holiday season:

Pixie Cut with soft flirty fringe- This fun look is all about using a root lifter like Volume Fusion by Eufora when hair is damp. Blow dry it first with your fingers like I do in the salon, rubbing and drying your scalp first and the using a big round brush to keep it soft and just curving at the ends.
If you have curly hair or want that extra sleek and smooth look use a flat iron to keep it close to your head. Finish with some Sexy Soy Paste (one of my favorite products of all time) to texturize and tousle.

Blunt Angled Bob- This look works with both a side or middle part and is great styled super clean or if you like a little lift use Volume Fusion by Eufora at the roots before drying. This blunt cut looks great both finger styled or blown out smooth and then use Sexy Soy Paste scrunched at the ends showing off the cut and texture. If you want the look extra smooth and sleek then blow dry with a big round brush and finish with the flat iron and some Illuminate Shine Mist by Eufora.

Piecey Layered Long Bob- With hair damp and well towel dried apply Fixation Styling Foam by Eufora and finger style keeping the hair loose while drying and then scrunch toward the end of your drying time. Use a 1/2" to 1&1/2" curling iron and "skip" curl some of the outside layer of the hair. It is not necessary to curl every hair and in fact it will create a much different look if you do! Shake out and spray with Elevate by Eufora to seal the deal.

Mermaid Long Flowing Locks-For this look you can also begin with Foamation Styling Foam by Eufora on damp hair and finger style and scrunch as the hair is almost dry. Second day hair is great for this style as well! Using a big curling iron with large sections of hair and all curls going in the same direction away from the face and toward the middle in the back. Shake out these curls by forking your fingers through them behind you and finish with a few pumps of Illuminate Shine Mist on the ends and then tousle and scrunch some Sexy Soy Paste and you are good to go!

Dont forget about fun, easy, and sometimes "messy" up dos...they can be super easy to do and look less fussy than a sleek and perfect "salon" coif! Give it a go...You can do this!

Holiday Drink: Freeze coffee as ice cubes and toss in a cup of Baileys and Vanilla Vodka.

Isn't she sweet?....a pretty little beachy Christmas tree....Seascape anyone?








Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! I hope you take time to slow down as I plan to do (working on that) and enjoy your loved ones! Lets all have a fun filled and safe New Years....Scott and I will be dancing until the wee hours with a bunch of dear friends to the Houserockers at Los Gatos Lodge!! Lets all ring in an amazing 2015!

With Love,
Lisa
