Spring is synonymous with renewal and fresh beginnings, this should not only apply to your home but your appearance. If you’re ready to update your look, spring is the perfect time to experiment with some color and fresh vibes. Changing the color of your hair can be subtle or drastic depending on how much change you’re ready for and can instantly give you a boost in confidence. You only live once right? So go ahead, give Salon James a call before you can change your mind, you won’t regret it. Here are some of the hottest color trends to try this year.

Salon James Pastel Hair ColoringFaded Pastel
When it comes to these colors it’s more than a wash than a color. Soft lovely pastels such as lavenders, pinks, soft teal, and silvery gray are all very popular right now. If you are not ready for overall color, try adding subtle highlights or even peek-a-boo highlights to get started. These colors are a pretty choice for the spring and summer and can soften your appearance. For girls who are ready to dive in and take the reins with this trend, try adding a a couple different colors to up the ante when it comes to turning heads!

Coral
Coral is a beautiful peachy/orange/pink color depending on how you look at it. It’s almost like a soft blush or warm glow so it’s no wonder this color has made the list of one of the hottest hues this year. Popular because of its soft, yet bold color, this hue is known to be flattering with almost every skin tone and eye color making it a go-to choice for anyone who wants to experiment with color but unsure of where to start.

Copper Highlights
This color is warm, glowing, and is like a sunset in your hair. Piecey highlights of warm, buttery copper highlights will work for both blondes and brunettes alike, making it a popular choice for spring. If you have blonde hair, try giving your hair an overall strawberry color before adding copper highlights for a stunning look. Whether you choose multidimensional highlights or an ombre this color has a serious swoon factor.

Snow Bunny Blonde
Although we rarely have to think about snow in Baton Rouge, we get it, you’re still over winter and the last thing you want to think about is the cold, but this color is seriously gorgeous. A more powdery hue than its platinum counterpart, this color has subtle and unexpected hints of baby blue. Not to be confused with ashy, this beautifully saturated color looks lovely on paler skin tones but if you are ready to give this color a try and have warmer skin tones you can alter the color with more neutral or white blonde shades and add the bluish blonde as highlights.

It is often said that change is the only constant in life and we couldn’t agree more! Salon James of Baton Rouge has a wide selection of hair care services that are customizable to the look you are going for. If you are ready to update your look with a fresh new color visit Salon James online today or call us to set up an appointment (225) 636-2220.

Hot Stone Massage: Welcome to the Stone Age

Hot Stone Baton Rouge

Let’s be honest: We’ve all heard about the odd and exotic options for trying to relax. Whether it’s cactus massages from Mexico or being whacked by veniks in a Russian Banya, every part of the world has searched high-and-low for the best way to relax. Sometimes, the answers we’re looking for is right at our fingertips or, in this case, right at the tips of our toes. Allow us to introduce you to our Hot Stone Massage.

A hot stone massage, as the name implies, is where a collection of smooth stones are heated anywhere from 110 to 130 degrees and gingerly placed on pressure and stress points around the body. Sounds… dangerous, right? Most of the heat is trapped in the stone, retaining the heat for much longer while keeping it from scalding your skin. There is also a trained professional on hand to ensure that the rocks aren’t too hot for the recipient.

So how is that remotely relaxing or good for you? Think of it like the jets in a hot tub or heating pads - the specialist locates high-tension spots throughout your body and places a stone on it, sometimes adding pressure to each stone throughout the process, and loosening the tense muscle clusters. These focused points of heat target deeper muscles groups similar to a deep tissue massage without needing as much pressure to do it (and without the elbows).

Hot Stone Massage Baton Rouge
But it’s not the only way that a hot stone massage can benefit you. Studies have shown a host of benefits from regular hot stone massages, including the reduction of stress, anxiety, and promoting better sleep. That right - if you’re a bit of an insomniac, then getting stoned (at Salon James) may help you find the rest you’re looking for.

At Salon James, our spa includes a variety of ways that you and your loved ones can relax, including Hot Stone Massage. Scared to try it alone? We have rates to do it with a partner. To learn more about how Salon James in Baton Rouge can help you look better and feel better, visit our website or give us a call today at (225) 636-2220.

Hair-Style Appreciation Through the Ages

In the world of fashion, one of your greatest accessories and iconic looks is what sits on top of your head. Your hair, whatever color, cut, or texture, helps tell the story of who you are, where you come from, and who you are going to be. Throughout the decades, we’ve seen the styles change, some good and some bad, but we love to draw inspiration from the past to help pave the way for the future with new and exciting looks.
