Mixing a little Pleasure with Business: Mari at Oribe Miami

On a recent vacation to South Beach, Mari thought it might be fun to go to Oribe’s Miami hair salon and check out the space and his talented group of stylists.  Before heading in for her beach-vacation-blowout, Mari read many positive reviews of Steven and decided to give him a try. They weren’t wrong! Steven, she says, was fun, fabulous and made Mari feel as though she was the only guest in the salon! For a bit of hold and softness, he applied of Oribe’s Crème for Style to Mari’s hair from mid-shaft to ends and meticulously dried and smoothed Mari’s locks to South Beach perfection!

Worst Hairstyles of the Oscars Past

Actors are constantly under pressure to look good 24/7, and we understand that sometimes, they might just snap under all that scrutiny.  But that's no excuse to rock a bad 'do at Hollywood's biggest night out.  Here's a look at what we think were some of the worst hairstyles of the Academy Awards over the last decade or so. We hope these celebs are long past their temporary lapses in styling judgement.


She was one of our picks for best hair in 2012, but in 2000 Angelina Jolie frightened a lot of viewers with her Morticia Adams makeup and stringy, below-waist hair.  Yikes! Not exactly glamorous.

Helena Bonham Carter is always a bit edgy, and we LOVE her acting...but this 2006 hairstyle has got to GO!


Such a gorgeous actress, but such bad hair.  In 2001, Kate Hudson was nominated for her role in "Almost Famous", a great film! ...This hair, on the other hand, was not.  Is she going for the poodle look?
  
Scarlet Johansson's messy updo at the 2005 Academy Awards is a definitie DON'T! We like soft, clean waves, not sloppy and frizzy.

Cheers!

Flashback: Oscars Hair 2012

The 2012 Academy Awards seemed to follow the trend of old movie star glam. Soft, loose waves dominated last year’s red carpet, from Angelina Jolie to January Jones and even Miley Cyrus.

So on Hollywood’s big night, Oscars 2013, will these stars go for similar styles? Will we see more updos and chignons this year, or a continued trend of touchable curls? We’ll be tuned in February 24th  to find out.


Mad Men's January Jones


Everyone else may have been talking about that leg, but we noticed her hair!

Sinister Pop: An Oribe Workshop



Last weekend was a great weekend with Oribe education in New York City. On Sunday, Mari and other stylists from around the country took a tour at the Whitney Museum of American Art to explore and draw inspiration from 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s Sinister pop exhibits. The following day was a full day of demonstrations by hairstylist Michael Angelo at Canoe Studios in Chelsea. Mari participated in a hands-on workshop with agency models and a professional photo shoot.  The photos below are her work, representing Pop art first, and then her take on “sinister pop”.

Before and After: Sarah



Sarah came to Mari the Studio with grown out highlights and fine hair below her shoulders. She decided she was ready for a bold change and brought in two photos of models with strawberry blonde and red hair. After a detailed consultation, Mari suggested a beautiful rich auburn to compliment Sarah’s blue-green eyes and fair skin tone, and a new style to eliminate her damaged ends, and give her hair bounce and movement.

The striking end result was a shiny, multi-toned, deep, auburn.  For the style, Mari cut Sarah’s hair into a flattering shape, adding long layers, to give the appearance of thicker, stronger hair in a modern bob.

Cheers!

Mari the Studio: Waxing Services Offered!




Did you know that we at Mari the Studio provide not only superior hair care, but also a clean, relaxed environment for discrete and fast waxing services?

The Studio provides a private room with a comfortable and sanitary spa bed and an easy to use, effective hard wax.  The wax is applied thicker than strip wax, left to dry for a few seconds and promptly peeled away. It is gentle on the skin, and also perfect for sensitive areas and removing dark, coarse hair. The hard wax will not adhere to the skin as much as strip wax, which makes it less irritating to the skin and superior to other waxes on the market.  The European-made formula is rosin-free and hypoallergenic, with a gel-like texture making it perfect for all types of hair. The result is minimal pain upon removal, and smooth, flawless skin. Hair growth will become finer and lesser over time.

We offer facial and body waxing services for both women and men. Please visit our website for a full list of services and prices.

Cheers!
