Shag Me Baby!

The Shag is back! 

We are happy to report that the shag is back. Since hitting the runways in New York and Paris this winter, the rocker inspired haircut has replaced the beach waves popular on catwalks over the summer.

“The biggest difference between the 2015 shag and the shag made famous by Joan Jett in the 1980’s is its structure” says Anthony Marsalese of Antonino Salon and Spa in Birmingham, Michigan. “Although it’s still piecey and textured, it is more defined and much softer”. He continues with “shag’s in the past have been shoulder length with feathering on the top and sides and a full crown, but the new versions can be chin length or shorter and are much narrower”.

After receiving the modern shag, it’s important to style it with appropriate products to achieve the maximum effect. Moroccan Oil’s Root Boost and Hydrating Style Crème are good used together or a cocktail of Texture Maker and Volupt Spray by Sebastian are great when blow drying the hair. Finish the style off with pomade such as Oribe’s Rough Luxury or a soft, touchable hairspray.

All the stylists at Antonino Salon and Spa have been extensively trained on how to create the new shag. So, be sure to stop in or request an appointment to find out if the hair cut is right for you.

Men Take the Stage

One of the hottest hair trends of 2015 may surprise you…….

Alongside the “Lob”, and the “Pixie”, MEN are heading the runways in the world of beauty.

Anthony Marsalese, owner of the upscale Antonino Salon and Spa in Birmingham, Michigan, just returned from Intercoiffure’s Fall Atelier in New York City. The two-day event, held at the Waldorf Astoria, is by invitation only and is the premier event of the year in the beauty industry. Anthony has been a member of the prestigious organization for over ten years and hasn’t missed an atelier yet.

This year there was a “surprising trend” says Anthony, “two of the biggest presentations featured only men”. “Most people used to think of only women when they conjured a vision of Fall fashion, but that is quickly changing” said Anthony, “the day of the ‘metro-sexual’ is over and the idea of men visiting salons and spas has finally become mainstream and we’re finding more and more men now realize the value of looking and feeling their best”.

The percentage of male to female customers at Antonino Salon has doubled over the last few years as more and more men are beginning to color their hair and treat themselves to manicures, pedicures and other specialized spa services.

So, ladies, the time has come for the other half of the world’s population to share the runways and headlines in the fashion world.

And men, It’s time to step up, stay current and show the world that beauty isn’t just for women anymore.

All of the stylists at Antonino Salon and Spa are trained in men’s haircutting techniques and keep up to date on all the current men’s trends. Just another reason why Antonino Salon and Spa is the best salon in town.

The "Lob"-Read All About It.

“The Lob" (long bob) was a huge trend this summer and it continues to be the hot this Fall. “The beauty of this hairstyle is that with a minor adjustment, the hairstyle becomes customized and flatters all face shapes and hair texture”, says Anthony Marsalese, owner of Antonino Salon and Spa in Birmingham, Michigan.

All of the stylists at Antonino Salon have been trained in the most current haircuts and coloring techniques including the Lob. So, set up an appointment today and find out why we are considered the best salon in Birmingham. Call us at 248-258-5990 or send us an appointment request on-line and we’ll be happy to assist you.
