Massachusetts salon owner and internationally recognized industry expert in hair color, design and styling, Edward Blum, just returned from New York this week after working with the color and design team for fashion designer Donna Karan as she introduced her Fall 2010 collection during Fashion Week (February 11-18th).

 

Blum, who was a team colorist with the “dynamic duo” Christopher and Sonya Dove, was brought to New York’s Fashion Week by Wella Professionals as a colorist/stylist for Donna Karan’s models. Blum is co-owner of the prestigious Makeovers Salon & Spa, a state-of-the-art facility located in Easton with a staff of 80.  Known for his artistry and technical knowledge, Blum has been a hair stylist for 31 years and a salon owner for more than 21 years.  Makeovers Salon & Spa is his fourth salon and one of the largest salons and spas in Massachusetts.

 

“Donna Karan’s Fall collection has an emphasis on curves with gathered suiting, body hugging wraps and scarves.  Hair style and color is all about looking very natural and approachable yet at the same time, ultra chic and refined.  Any hint of brassiness in hair color is out.  To get the gorgeous, shiny, natural looking hair that the models are sporting is definitely an investment,” noted Blum.

 

Blum shared some of the fashion trends that will be seen this fall:

 

•       Hair color will be natural looking with glosses and glazes leading the way.  Hair styles will be sporty and slightly edgy.

•       Nails will be natural looking.  Gel nails and gel polishes will be all the rage.

•       Trends in body care will be bio-organic and very moisturizing.

 

According to Blum, “We’re really going to see a turn towards the natural and organic this fall and it will be reflected in hair style and make-up, even in spa treatments.”

 

Blum has worked alongside a number of greats over the years including Vidal Sassoon, Jon Louis David and Jaque Dessange. He trained with Alexandre de Paris and also served as the International Spokesperson and Market Leader for Wella Corporation for 15 years, providing hair design and styling for major hair shows in the U.S. and Europe.

 

He is a contributing writer to many professional beauty publications including Modern Salon Magazine, American Salon Magazine and Salon Today Magazine.  No stranger to the stars, Blum has been the stylist for “One Life to Live” soap opera’s Christian Alfonso and Judge Maria Lopez of the “Maria Lopez Show” as well as for Buena Vista Studios-Disney, New England Today, Boston Channel 5 and Channel 4.   He has won numerous awards and worked on many other stage, hair and fashion award shows over the last three decades. 

 

On the local level, Blum holds the Northeast Cutting and Styling Championship title and his salon has been honored 15 times with First Place Reader’s Choice Award in all beauty categories.  Additionally, he frequently serves as a consultant to many cosmetology schools in New England.

Older job seeker gets early holiday gift – a Makeover from South Shore providers

When it comes to finding a new job after 50, times have changed. Stellar credentials and years of experience get you so far in the job market. Competition with younger counterparts is tough and it takes more than great networking to land a job.

Many older job seekers are looking to “level the playing field” with their younger competitors and one of the ways they are doing so is by re-inventing themselves.

South Shore Skin Center of Plymouth and Cohasset collaborated with the Center for Progressive Dentistry of Duxbury; Eclipxe Hair Salon of Norwell, Holly Kouvo of Fitting Fitness In of Stow, MA and Coach DQ, Dawn Quesnel, a career life coach and host of Career Life Balance Radio, and held a Makeover Contest for women and men over 50 who had been downsized.

Carol Hedman, 63, of Cohasset has been selected as the winner of the Makeover Contest. Ms. Hedman had been working for a medical provider and held a second job with a dental provider and was downsized from both South Shore companies. After looking for work for several months, she thought she was about to receive a job offer from a Boston firm. Unfortunately, another applicant, who is 30 years her junior, got the job. Ms. Hedman then decided to enter the contest.

As the contest winner, Ms. Hedman will receive:

· A Cosmetic Dermatology Treatment

· Teeth Whitening

· New Haircut/Style

· A Fitness Consultation

· Career and Life Coaching Services

According to Ms. Hedman, “Feeling good about your appearance makes you confident and that’s important. I’m very excited about my makeover. I’m setting the foundation of what’s ahead…This next chapter and what’s to come.”

The Makeover Contest was held based on the success of a previous makeover on Scituate resident Dave Flanagan, 54. Mr. Flanagan underwent a full makeover which included Botox Cosmetic treatments to smooth forehead wrinkles and Sculptra for the deep lines around his mouth. He had his teeth whitened and an updated haircut. He also met with a Fitness Trainer who educated him about how fitness and nutrition would keep him at the top of his game, and a Career Life Coach to help him obtain his goals. The makeover worked and shortly after, Dave was happy to report he was back at work.

Dave’s success inspired South Shore Skin Center to hold a Makeover Contest to help other seniors who may have been faced with “ageism” in the job market.
