Salons Offering a Menu of Pre-Selected Looks
I’ll Have Hot Toddy Hair and Tyra Brows
Hair News Network

Donna Alberico for The New York Times
At, Uni K Wax Centers stencils are an educational tool for the waxers.
|
MANY women go to a salon to relax, but I find the experience exhausting. It’s not just the time-consuming appointments. It’s the vast array of products and services available and the decisions to be made about them, usually while I’m frantically tapping out office e-mails or on a cellphone conference call, pretending to be at my desk.
The new Fekkai Summer Style Blow Out Bar at the Frédéric Fekkai Fifth Avenue salon.
For the hair: flippy ends or stick-straight? For the brows: thick or
thin? For the nails: classic red or tangerine tango? Most often I
mutter, “Just do whatever you want,” with sometimes disheartening
results.
The beauty industry has sensed my weariness. In the last few months,
quick-service hair, makeup and nail salons have opened in New York and
other cities, each with a very limited list of pre-chosen looks
illustrated with photographs (and often cutely named). It’s a sort of
pick-one-from-column-A menu to which clients can point, say “I’ll have
that” and then get back to their texting.
At Blushington Beauty and Makeup Lounge in West Hollywood, Calif., ose from seven makeup styles, illustrated in a book in
which the same model wears each one, from the bronzed Simply Glowing to
the winged-out eyeliner of Cutting Edge.
The London nail-art bar Nailporn offers a dozen custom-painted
manicures. At Gotham Beauty Lounge near Bryant Park in New York, there
are four makeup options: Manhattan Mineral (light and natural), Lady
Gotham (sophisticated daytime), Gotham Glam (smoky nighttime eyes) and
the Marquee (for those going on camera).

The quick-decision factor isn’t the only appeal. With the guesswork
removed, clients ignorant of trends can be sure they are getting an
up-to-date look. And the limited variables keep the services fast and
relatively affordable. For example, at the new Fekkai Summer Style Blow
Out Bar at the Frédéric Fekkai Fifth Avenue salon, clients can get one
of five signature blowouts for $50; a standard Fekkai blowout is usually
$65 to $85, depending on hair length.
One fan of these businesses is Caprice Crane, a novelist, television
writer and screenwriter who lives in New York and Los Angeles. When
she’s feeling lazy in either city, she drops by Drybar, a blow-dry
outfit that’s an originator of the menu idea (it has an illustrated
booklet of style options named after cocktails). Drybar opened in
Brentwood, Calif., in 2010 and is to open its 15th store this week, in
Westlake Village, Calif.
“I just go in and cross my fingers,” said Ms. Crane, who is in her 30s.
She usually orders the Cosmo (loose curls) or the Mai-Tai (beachy waves)
and gets predictable results no matter which coast she’s on.
“There is a little bit of difference” between the stylists’ techniques,
she said. “There has to be. They’re not robots. But usually they can get
it in the general area of what you’re looking for.”
And some customers are willing to pay handsomely for predictability.
At Vênsette, a New York service begun by Lauren Remington Platt that
starts at $250 for day packages and $325 for evening packages, the
signature looks are as much a selling point as is convenience.
Book an appointment online and click one of the eight makeup choices
(among them, Sunkissed, C.E.O., Cat) and seven hairdos (Audrey, Siren).
Like a glamorous pizza-delivery service, Vênsette will dispatch to your
home a beauty professional it has trained for “flawless consistency,”
according to the Web site, to “guarantee the highest quality experience,
no matter which team member arrives at your doorstep.” the TLC television series “What Not to
Wear.” Plug in your skin tone, hair color and eye color, and the app
explains how to achieve any of 10 faces: Black Tie has bold lips and big
lashes; Holiday Party metallic highlights.
Most of these services are in the affordable-luxury range. Drybar
blowouts are $35 or $40; a Blushington full-face makeup application is
$40. For $35, Bb. StylingBar at Bloomingdale’s 59th Street store will
create a Downtown Updo, Uptown Updo or other style from its touch-screen
look book. At Barrett’s Braid Bar inside the plush John Barrett Salon
at Bergdorf Goodman, braids start at $45.
For salons, the established choices are good for business. When Uni K
Wax Centers, a Florida chain, began franchising in 2007, the company
added a $25 service called Celebrity Brows. Customers select a shape
from photos of 30 stars, including Tyra Banks and Vanessa Williams;
waxers use plastic stencils to recreate the star’s arch and thickness.
The stencils are, as much as anything, an educational tool for the waxers.
“You can train people to do legs or bikinis all the same way,” said
Noemi Grupenmager, Uni K Wax’s founder and chief executive. “But
eyebrows are a very personal skill.”
Ordering up another woman’s eyebrows seems mechanical to me, especially
if every other client is having what you’re having. At the three Uni K
Wax Centers in New York, about 80 percent of the Celebrity Brow
customers choose the same celebrity: Catherine Zeta-Jones — because her
brows are, well, middlebrow.
“They don’t have much of an arch, and they’re between thick and thin,”
Ms. Grupenmager said. “They are nothing very special.”

Monica Almeida/The New York Times
Blushington Beauty and Makeup Lounge in West Hollywood, Calif. |
The cookie-cutter feeling was in full effect recently when I bellied up
to Drybar and ordered up a poufy Hot Toddy (the only style on the menu
for shorter hair like mine). Around me, every Rapunzel-haired customer
seemed to have chosen the same Cosmo curls. I pointed this out to my
stylist, who charmingly agreed. “It’s like a little hair factory,” she
said.
Of course, patrons aren’t forced to conform to the menus — there’s
plenty of customizing and substitution. Still, it’s only a short leap to
imagine a party full of socialites in the same Vênsette Grace Kelly red
lips and Oscar French twist, and from there an entire nation of
look-alikes with nothing-special eyebrows.
Carmindy, of the makeup app, calls her highlighting technique being
“Carmindized,” and at Gotham Beauty Lounge, I overheard a stylist
pronounce to another customer, “You’ve been Gothamized!” Do women really
want to be -ized?
Even some proprietors are skeptical of the uniformity they offer.
At a press event when Nailporn opened in April, its owner, Sophy Robson,
was surprised to find the beauty-editor guests picking the same
manicure: animal-print spots on a pink-to-peach ombré background.
“Girls are funny like that,” Ms. Robson said. “A lot of them are happy
to have the same thing as their friend. Personally, I’m the exact
opposite. I want something different.”

How to chalk black hair
How To... Get Creative With Hair Chalking
We went to some of the top hair colorists in the country to get tips
on how to chalk your hair. If you have black hair, you'll want to use
vibrant shades of chalk to make the color stand out.
Rick Wellman is widely recognized as one of the most talented and innovative colorists. His experience spans more than 20 years, during which time he has become a key figure in the world of hair coloring. In 2007, Wellman teamed up with stylist Patrick Melville to open the Patrick Melville Salon at Rockefeller Center where they now welcome a loyal clientele including: Brooke Shields, Mariska Hargitay, Harry Connick, Jr. and Catherine Zeta Jones among others. Wellman offers these tips for chalking black hair.
Step 1: Wash hair
Shampoo hair with a clarifying shampoo. Skip the conditioner. Towel dry and comb out tangles.Step 2: Pick your colors
Hair chalking on dark black hair is a fun way to give strands an artistic, temporary color kick. Pick one or more vibrant colors of soft pastel chalk from your local art supply.
Step 3: Get creative
Apply chalk heavily to selected damp strands focusing near the ends
in an artistic fashion where desired. Steer away from hair chalking at
the root or scalp.Step 4: Be patient
Allow to air dry. Do not blow dry, as that will blow chalk off of strands and into the air.Step 5: Seal the color
Once hair is 90 percent dry, seal chalked strands with a hot flat iron several times until completely dry, locking chalk onto the hair.Step 6: Flaunt it
Now you are ready to go out for the weekend and flaunt your locks, but make sure to avoid getting caught in the rain and wearing white. Cobalt blue chalk looks crazy exotic on dark pigments. Hair chalking on dark black hair will only last two to three shampoos at most.Hair chalking tutorial video
Check out Kandee Johnson's video tutorial on how to get into the hair chalk trend. Kandee has black hair and her chalking looks fabulous.Hair News Network
