Love is in the Hair: Valentine's Day Hair Ideas

Charlize Theron's Golden Globes Headband 

1. Consider Romantic Adornments.  At this year's Golden Globes we saw the re-emergence of the headband as a etheral and romantic.  Nothing rekindles romance like coquettish and innocent hair.  To bring out the puppy love feeling for Valentines Day set your hair on hot rollers and using a mix of bobby pins and holding pins secure your hair to one side.  Set with a light hold hairspray and add a headband.  Sunny's has some great romantic headbands in stock starting at $20 & up.

Victoria's Secret Sexy

2.  Follow Victoria's Secret Lead.  When women ask what type of hair do men find sexiest....we always direct them to the blueprint of sexy:  Victoria's Secret.  You never see women with stick straight hair or super curly hair in their pages.  It's because men love soft touchable hair that looks flirtatious and effortless.  So grab some 14" clips in hair extensions and a curling wand and begin placing some random waves in your hair... let it set with light hairspray and then run your fingers through your hair and put on your demure sexy smile and a call it wrap.

Simply, Sexy & Stunning

3. Pony it up: Men love a good old-fashioned ponytail with a twist.  Pay homage to screen goddess Kate Beckinsdale with a custom made wrap around ponytail to give a little umph to your night.  Use your own hair to create a ponytail and then clip on your added hair and wrap the remaining hair around with a bobby pin.  Create some volume with strategically placed curls.

A Look We Absolutely Freaking Love: Lauren Conrad Tie-Dye Hair

Nothing gives better inspiration for great hair makeovers than a broken heart.  Lauren Conrad's recent heartbreak led her to flirt with her inner hippie and deliver this amazing look that we must declare we love!

While her stylist is claiming to have dyed Lauren's perfected blonde tresses, we happen to know for a fact that actually colored her hair extensions at the tips to create her new statement hairdo.

So... Sunny's Girls if this is a look that you would like to try on for the night, stop by one of our locations for a custom clip in consultation.  We can customize your clips in hair extensions to give the same effect.  Our custom clip in extensions service involving four custom dyed extensions and clips in begin at $160.

Mark Your Calendars!!!! Sunny's Atlanta is Moving August 1st

Any Atlanta Sunny's Girl worth her salt knows that shopping for hair at Sunny's is great but getting there is not!

We have loved being on Peachtree Road in the heart of Buckhead for the past three years but we hated the parking situation... we hated seeing our lovely Sunny's Girls risk their lives crossing the street or climbing two flights of stairs in the icy cold to change your hair...change your life.

So we have been tirelessly looking for a perfect new home, we listened to your feedback and one day we stumbled across the perfect location!

Located right down the street from our current store... is the most darling boutique space next to Spa Sydell and the future Aveda Institute at Brookwood Place!

Atlanta fashionista's will know that this space used to be Sage Clothing Boutique but as of August 1st it will be the new Buckhead home of Sunny's Hair & Wigs.

What we are most excited about is the amazing parking, accessibility and super cute new locale.

So.... we ask our loyal Sunny's Girls to help us spread the word and to be patient with us this July as we transition to our new space.

We can't wait!!!

Change your Hair!

We all want to try the edgy new hairstyles all the celebrities are wearing, lucky for them they have their stylists on call for maintenance as well as they can easily change up their looks.

However, we've come up with a couple tips and tricks you can try to change your life without changing your own hair.

For short edgy cuts:
Use Sensationnel 27 pieces to create a custom wig, the hair is short so you won't have much cutting to do and you can add color to front like our girl Rihanna.
You could also just purchase a Fashion wig, they are really affordable; one of our favorites at Sunny's is Bobbi Boss' Vivi.

For Asymetrical Cuts/Bobs:
If you want something more long term , try sewing in more affordable hair like Bohyme Textured Smooth or Bohyme Silky Straight and have your stylist use a closure piece so that none of your hair is out- that way you can cut and use as much heat and product without any damage to your own hair.

 If you're just trying to have fun for one night try a fashion wig, they are low cost, low maintenance and really fun to just let loose in.

For Long Lengths or  Color:
Experiment with brands like Bohyme, Indi Remy, Black Diamond or Sensationel Goddess since they are slightly more affordable than Indian hair. If you are a little gun shy you can always use clip in extensions to flirt with longer hair before making the commitment.

Before you make the commitment and change your own hair permanently, try these out and if you don't like it then you can take it out and your own hair will be the way you had it! But if you do like it, preserve your hair and enjoy your new look.....

Change your life and change the hair that you paid for!!

Hair Extension Tip: Nylon Coated Thread vs. Cotton Thread

 

We love nylon coated or wax coated thread for sew in extensions.  The thread is much thinner and strong than traditional cotton thread.  This ensures that you won't have any tracks that loosen over time.   We love it love it!  Make sure to ask your stylist if she is using wax coated or cotton thread!

Looks we Love: Taylor Swift Country Music Awards

Change your hair....change your...
1. Life
2. Sex Appeal
3. Image as a young innocent country singer

This is most definitely a look we love with Taylor Swift trading her trademark curls for a sleeker and svelte look at the Country Music Awards.  To Achieve Taylor's look we'd use the Lord & Cliff Clip In Extensions 3 pieces in color 18/24  in 14" to add some volume and run a flat iron over them and call it a day!

Trend setting with Roller setting!

People are always wondering how do you get those natural deep waves that last all day like the Kardashian's without having to recurl your hair every day?

Remember back to your younger simpler days... every time we had our own hair done  we'd go to bed with rollers? And no matter what we did we had volume for the whole day the next day.....well, if we apply this method to our hair extensions not only does it look full and flowy but something about roller setting makes 'weaves' look a little bit more natural.

We are aware of how uncomfortable they are so instead of rollers we can try using the bendable rods and before you go to bed, just:

• set your hair onto flexible foam rollers
• tie your hair down with a silk/satin scarf or sleep on  satin pillow case
•  in the morning just tease the hair with your fingers and you'll have that vampy full head of fabulosity!

Roller setting does a little bit more than hot curling...and takes your look throughout the day....try it and change your hair...change your life!

Sunny's TV: Episode 2 Styling Lord & Cliff Seven Pieces Extensions with Metowi

Rumor Has It... Serena is in High Demand

The New York Times has "time capsule" piece on the increased requests for "Gossip Girl" hair specifically Blake Lively.

With over 713,000 results for the search for Blake Lively hair... her toussled and effortless hair is making a cultural impact a la "The Rachel" of the 90's.

The NY Times reports:

For those who haven’t won the genetic lottery, Mr. John Barrett adds removable extensions of human hair similar to a fall ($1,200 to $1,500 per piece) and recommends a litany of treatments to maintain Ms. Lively’s look. Not including the extensions, just the cut, which costs around $500 at his salon, conditioning treatments and heat styling tally up to around $1,200 a month.

A small price to pay, some would say, to look like a star.


At Sunny's we have a much more affordable and realistic suggestions. 18" Lord & Cliff Clip In Extensions in 7 pcs. We the hair and spray with David Babaii Bohemian Beach Mist and scrunch the natural wave pattern in the clip in extensions and diffuse with a blow dryer on a low setting.

For more defined waves you could set the hair with the Beach Mist and braid in large sections and allow to air dry. Once the hair is completely dry while still in the braid wrap the bottom three inches along a 1" curling iron barrel.

To achieve Blake's stunning golden blonde tones try colors such as 6/16/12/613, 10/16/24, and 18/24
