HOW TO REMOVE HAIR COLOR STAINS
Getting hair dye on your countertops and floors isn’t something anyone does on purpose, but if you act quickly then it’s not a huge deal. Here are a couple of things that can help rub away those hair color splatters before they become stains. Take extra care with a specific finish on floors and countertops just so you’re not too rough and won’t risk rubbing away any of the gloss.
Baking soda and water.
Everyone should have a box of baking soda at home (it’s magical and versatile). To use baking soda for stain removal on granite, formica, or laminate, mix it with water. The ratio is usually a one to one, but simply add a little water at a time until you form a paste. This hard paste acts almost like a pumice exfoliator, which removes color without being too harsh on your finish. Layer the paste onto your stained area, allowing it to harden and soak up the hair dye. Once the baking soda becomes hard, you can then wipe it away from the surface with a damp cloth.
Our Stain Remover.
While our Stain Remover Wipes work wonders on your hairline, our product team put it to the test on countertops—it worked! Just tear open the package and rub the stained area in circular motions until it’s gone. Stain removal works best if it’s done quickly, but just in case you miss a spot that sits overnight, the solution should work just the same.

WHEN TO COLOR FIRST
YOU WANT TO LIGHTEN UP YOUR SHADE.
Frequently lightening your hair can stress out your strands and lead to damage. Because of this, we recommend that you lighten first and trim away the unhealthy ends afterward. After processing, your stylist can decide how much hair needs to be taken off based on the condition of your ends. Our hair color can only take you up or down two levels from your current shade, which helps to avoid over-processing.
TRANSITIONING TO A SUPER-SHORT HAIRSTYLE.
For shorter hairstyles like the trending pixie, or cuts that are six inches and under, it can be easier to dye your hair first. Removing length means there’s a lot less to work with; and while that can be a good thing for mid-length hairstyles, sectioning is challenging for super-short cuts. Applying your color before you cut makes it so much easier to section while coloring, and it prevents color overlapping from one section to another just below it.

Deciding on the right hair color is tough, but going red is like finally taking that vacation to the Bahamas or going on a Safari—it’s all about the adventure. The wonderful thing about red is that it doesn’t have to be shockingly bright; red can also be an undertone that adds vibrancy and dimension to your color. The best way to approach red is to go custom and tailor the shade to your skin tone, eye color, and lifestyle. If you're looking for a hue that's guaranteed to turn heads, these reds will inspire you to take the plunge. Just give us a call and chat with your colorist about your options.

Whenever curl-spiration strikes you already know what look you want. Summery beach waves are easy and fun to wear, but it’s as much about your technique as it is the tool you use to get them. There are different barrel sizes and materials to consider, as well as your choice of a curling iron or clipless curling wand. Each size barrel can give you a very different hairstyle, so it’s best that you look to the right size barrel and whether or not the barrel is pure titanium, tourmaline ceramic or coated.

MaryMe-JimmyPaul
The name says it all and we agree. We want these looks to marry our closets because who doesn’t love a good tease. Oh, behave. This collection draws a fine line, running in all directions, between culture, couture and creativity. With inspiration stemming from every decade following the 1960s, hairstylists brought life and volume to outlandish mashups of textures and fabrics emphasized further by the big hair.
Each look started with a seemingly common hairstyle like the ponytail, bun and classic updo, and took it up a few notches into a chaotic but perfectly set style. Each hair served a particular purpose in molding the final look. To create your own MaryMe-JimmyPaul style, tease every bit of your hair from the bottom up and pin away. Remember to be gentle with your tresses when teasing to avoid hair damage over time. A root lifter such as NuMe Root Werk or NuMe Fresh N’ Fab Dry Shampoo Aerosol can improve the set of your base look before styling.

Create the Curl of Your Dreams With the NuMe Megastar Hair Straightener
It might seem strange to use a straightener to curl your hair. With all the curling wands out there, why would you even consider a straightener if coiled strands are what you crave? Well, it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. It’s easy to create glam, gorgeous, glossy, cascading curls with a straightener -- as long as it’s thin and has rounded edges like the NuMe Megastar Hair Straightener.
In fact, beginners and those who are all thumbs when it comes to styling their hair find it easier and safer to curl with a straightener because fingers don’t touch the heated surface, just the outer coating.
