Top 5 Requested Celebrity Hairstyles

So....face the facts....you may not sing like Rihanna or act like Jennifer Aniston, but that doesn't mean you don't want your hair to look fabulous like theirs! It's a fact, a lot of women look to celebrities for the hairstyle that they want to make their own. You look through ALL the "celebrity" magazines and pick out the best picture of your favorite stars hair and head straight for Beth and Company to make that dream a reality. You're not alone. Can you guess the top 5 celebrities that women look to for their hairstyle?

1. Topping the list this year was.....Jennifer Aniston! It seems that a lot of us girls want to look like the "girl next door". Jennifer's style is sophisticated, ageless, classic, easy going and sun kissed look. If you want you hair to portray that you are effortless, simple and non confrontational, then this look is for you!

2. Taylor Swift comes in second with the most requested style. Her curls are what everyone wants! They are sexy, fun and playful. Her style really shows her youth (without looking to young on a woman of an "older" age) and makes her approachable. Not only are her curls in high demand, her color is as well. Shes a "marshmallow" blonde that rivals the likes of Marily Monroe and Madonna.


3. Ah, the edgy Rihanna comes in third on the list! She sports the chic, edgy, fashion forward, rocking asymmetrical bob. Rihanna pushes the boundries with her style, music, hair style and hair color....and any lady replicating this style likes to stand out and make a loud statement!

4. Kim Kardashian makes the list at number 4 because of her beautiful hair color and style! Kim sports the sexy, soft waves that take you back to the Old Hollywood (think the 40's) glamour. She has a very simple, elegant style that looks low maintenance (but it's probably not!). Also, her dark locks really reflect the color of the seasons.

5. Last on the list is Victoria Beckham. Although "Posh Spice" looks different every time we see her, her dramatic bob is what women love! It's not only sleek and stylish, but also sophisticated, classic and trendy. You can wear your hair severe and sleek or textured and flirty with this cut. This hairstyle can change with your mood!

So, what style do you most want? It may be one of these 5 lovely ladies or it may be someone else. But whatever you decide make sure that you love it and wear it with pride! Your look is totally up to you....but it's always fun to have a compass to guide you to styling!

Spring/Summer 2011 Hair Trends

While it still seems warmer temperatures are far away (we still have snow on the ground!), fashionistas around the world are already preparing what is "hot" for Spring/Summer 2011. And while the hottest fashions may be out of reach, you can always think of the newest trends in hairstyles. They are easy to incorporate into any lifestyle and they are the easiest way to be on top of trend! Compared to what we saw for Fall/Winter, Spring/Summer looks are more modern, having very few retro accents. They also have many variations that leave them open to all women from all walks of life! So if you just can't wait any longer, here are a few of these hot trends for Spring/Summer 2011....

Volume, the bigger the better, right? Well, not necessarily. High volume hairstyles are still popular, but it is being used way more deliberately to create a more refined, modern look. Don't be afraid of volume (whether creating a hot updo, or a simple down style), but make sure that you incorporate it so it matches your life, face shape and hair texture.

Loose (almost bed head/messy) hair styles are a hot trend. To display your femininity a lot of women are looking for a simple, refined loose hairstyle. This hairstyle expresses the less is more idea while showing a relaxed carefree attitude that still carries a touch of glamor from eras of the past. No matter what your hair type or texture you can sport this hairstyle that highlights and frames your face perfectly creating a confident, bold, mysterious allure.

The updo hairstyle, whether used for a formal look or a casual day out look, is very popular! Whether the look takes a few minutes to create or something a little more detailed you can create a sophisticated hairstyle with a multitude of elements creating that unique look that fits you perfect.

Lastly (for now!), is the extreme side part. This trend carries over from Fall/Winter season, but still can add a fresh look for your Spring/Summer tresses. Used mostly for sleek, straight tresses, you can use on other hair textures as well. This is an easy adaptation you can use for a well defined, simple, fuss free hairstyle!

Happy Spring/Summer and Happy transforming to the warmer weather you!

Why Paul Mitchell Pro Tools?

You already know that you can go to Wal-Mart, CVS or any other discount store and buy an inexpensive hair dryer, straightening iron or curling iron, right? But just because they are inexpensive to begin with doesn't mean they are your best deal. They can end up costing you so much more in the long run. And not just money, but with severe damage to your hair! The danger with these cheaper model pro tools is they can scorch your hair (as they often have only one heat degree), or since some dryers don't have fan cages you run the risk of your hair getting pulled into the fan.

Gorgeous Winter "Glow"

You may be feeling the effects of the cold winter air on your skin and lips! With all the cracked, dry and chapped skin you may be feeling like you've lost that "glow" about you. Luckily, with a small change in your diet, and your skin care routine you can get that beautiful winter glow that everyone will admire!
How can your diet affect your skin? By adding nourishing, antioxidant rich fruits, vegetables and "healthy" fats you can moisturize and replenish your skin. All while providing your body with health promoting nutrients.
Fresh Fruits:
1. Berries: Choose what you like; blueberries, strawberries or raspberries. Berries are rich in flavonoids, which is an antioxidant that can help delay the aging process and strengthen collagen in your skin. They are also high in Vitamin C. Vitamin C will help maintain capillary walls, promote skin elasticity and plumpness.

2. Mango: Mangoes are high in vitamin A, C, and E. They are also rich in antioxidants. (Remember they are high in calories and sugar, so to avoid that winter bulge, don't overeat these fruits)
3. Citrus Fruit: To help cleanse your digestive system and clear the skin try grapefruits, oranges, lemons and limes. Citrus fruit is also rich in Vitamin C!
4. Kiwi: Another fruit high in Vitamin C and antioxidants. This fruit will help promote skin elasticity and smoothness!
Fresh Veggies:

1. Beets: Although Beets may not be in the forethought of your mind, they are full of antioxidants, flavonoids and aid in the digestive and immune systems functions. They will also help revive dull skin and promote renewal and repair.
2. Broccoli: When your mom told you to eat your broccoli, she knew what she was talking about. It is high in fiber, iron, antioxidants, foliate and vitamins A, C and B2. All of these attributes promote healthy skin, hair and nail. It also helps clean out your digestive system, liver and kidneys of toxins.
Healthy Fats:
These fats provide skin cells with nourishing moisture and oil which help prevent dryness and wrinkles. Try Salmon, tuna, flaxseed, avocado, walnuts and olive oil. But be careful as these are still fats so eat in moderation!

Skin Care:
1. Microdermabrasion: Try this treatment to get the dead skin cells off, allowing new ones to surface. It will make your skin smoother, glowing and help with those pesky wrinkles.
2. Exfoliate: EVERYDAY!!! Get those dead skin cells gone for good.
3. Moisturize: Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize....did you get the point? MOISTURIZE!!!! This includes your face, hands, feet and lips!
Don't accept the dull winter skin all season long. Fight back and do something about it today!!!

5 Quick Holiday Party Tips

It is definitely "Christmas Party" season, and I am sure most of you are booked every weekend until Christmas with something fun to do. If you're looking for something different here are 5 quick tips to help you look your best!
1. Try Red Lips: It may not be your everyday lip color choice, but it may be a good change for that special party. You can go for the matte look or super glossy. Whichever way you choose, it's a super bold look. So remember to keep the rest of your make up simple. Keep the lips your focal point and avoid unnecessary distractions.
2. Add some Sparkle: You can add sparkle to your eyes, cheeks, or whole face. But remember big flakes of glitter will make you look too "teeny bopper" and won't compliment your look. Try instead small flecks of glitter incorporated in your make up. It will add a little "pop" without being too over the top.

3. Try False Lashes: Don't want false lashes for everyday wear? No problem, just try them for that special party (parties). You can go crazy with them or keep them simple, but false lashes are the epitome of glamour....so work them girl!!
4. Add a Statement Headband: Headbands are an inexpensive way to make a dramatic statement. They can cost way less than jewerly, but can cause the same "wow" effect! Try this quick, easy tip to change your look without much money or effort!
5. Let your "hair down" with an updo!: You can pull your hair up to give a different look than you are used to. Make it messy, or just perfect and you can add class and elegance to any look. Try the side ponytail, messy bun, angled french braid, or a modern French twist! You can add curls or accessories to really change your look.

Although there are so many options for the perfect Holiday Party look, it's nice to have a few simple tips that can really make you feel your best at any party! Don't be afraid to look a little different than you do every other day. It's always nice to surprise people with a head turning look!!

False Eyelashes? Yes Please!

Long eyelashes are considered a sign of femininity and beauty. They can also make your eyes look bigger, fuller, more inviting and overall prettier. But a lot of us are not born with long luscious lashes. Thank goodness "modern civilization" provides us with "false" eyelashes and because they come in various styles, colors and sizes (when done correctly) no one will know you weren't born with them!
Since there are so many varieties of false lashes it's important to choose the right ones for your occasion. If you are going for a fun evening out you may want to try embellished ones with dazzling jewels, sparkling gems, feathers and vibrant colors. Play them up with fun, bright makeup! But if you are wanting them for everyday wear, you want to choose shorter lashes that match more your natural color. Try light, natural make up that will play up the lashes without being too obvious! It truly is amazing how many different looks you can achieve by trying fake lashes. You can go from naturally elegant or screaming your individuality with eye make up and lashes!

An important thing to remember is NEVER SETTLE FOR CHEAP LASHES! Cheap lashes are often made of plastic thus making them harder to apply. They can irritate the eye and will look extremely harsh and unnatural. Also, if you choose thick or heavy lashes you can weigh your eyelids down. Thus making your eyes appear smaller, which is a no-no.
False lashes are designed to accentuate your eyes, giving them a fuller appearance, so be sure to let a professional help you pick the lashes that are right for you! At Beth and Company we can help you pick the right lashes for your occasion, and we can help you apply them! We have a full stock of event lashes perfect for your Christmas and New Year's Eve parties, so come check them out! You will be so glad you did, your eyes will catch all the attention and no one will notice they are not your "real" lashes!!!
