Sneak Peek of Smith & Cult | Nail Lacquers
ARRIVING SOON!
Dineh Mohajer, one of the founders of the American cosmetics company Hard Candy, is launching a new line of nail polishes called Smith & Cult.
Smith & Cult nail polish collection comprises of 30 versatile shades, including a top and base coat. The range is very luxurious and it arrives in beautifully designed circular glass bottles with a silver dented cap. As Dineh Mohajer explains, the shades are inspired by genuine experiences depicted by a woman in her diary entries, and their names are quite unique and representative of these adventures. There is even an illustrated journal named “Diary of a Beauty Junkie” that goes along with the collection. The journal tells stories about six of the shades that are inspired by diary entries of a beauty addict. While the shades will be available for purchase mainly in-salons, the diaries are not for sale.

Smith & Cult | Coming Soon
THE DIARY OF A BEAUTY JUNKIE
Smith and Cult’s nailed lacquer consistently delivers both flawlessly smooth coverage and brilliant shine. While custom tailored to provide high performance, the exclusive 5 free formula, is formulated without Dibutyl, Phthalate, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor.
Each shade is inspired by and representative of the experiences depicted by our heroine in her diary entries. We can’t help but relate to her as she shares her unedited thoughts and feelings during the raw, uninhibited conversations she carries on with herself. While the consumer and creator share an intimate relationship, the brand is also universally, almost without choice, relevant to us all.
Modern Salon | Oribe on the Road: Chicago 2014
By Lauren Quick | 07/22/14
Members of Oribe's creative team were in Chicago on June 30 for their On the Road series of hands-on demos and all-day classes for stylists. The program tours seven cities throughout the year.
Oribe Educators Kien Hoang, Louis Orozco and Ronnie Stam showed stylists several looks on stage, including one for them to recreate later in the day. The educators showed some wildly creative looks, but noted to attendees that "Hair art is great, but our clients want wearable hair" and encouraged them to focus on garnering some new techniques to take back to their salons.
The presentation started with the educators styling various roller sets, then there was a presentation with three unique looks from each Hoang, Orozco and Stam. The educators talked about where they get their inspiration and how they create mood boards to get ideas going.
Stam in particular had a lot of valuable advice to the stylists in the audience.
"Clients only know what we tell them," Stam said. "Encourage clients to do something different. To be successful, you've got to be different."
Stam went on to suggest some marketing ideas for salons. He said to consider stylist two receptionists exactly the same; that's something clients will take note of. Not only that—they might really like the style and ask if they can have it done, as well.
"Hairdressers are asking too much," Stam said. "Don't ask. Tell."
TREND FORECAST
All three Oribe educators agreed that fringe is on the horizon along with shorter hair. Think of everything from wispy fringe, to face-framing and even structured like Bettie Page. Versatility is key in styles now, so stay on top of your game.

Behind the Hair | Oribe Hair Care
When high-end Canadian department store Holt Renfrew—known for its curated selection of luxury goods—wanted to feature a trend report on summer hairstyles, they turned to Oribe Educator Kien Hoang. Kien shared a variety of his favorite warm weather styles, from braids to beachy waves, and provided step-by-step instructions on how to get them at home. Scroll through the slideshow above to see his must-have looks.
Hair by Kien Hoang
Textured Braid with Pop of Color
(Seen at Calla Spring /Summer 2014 presentation – Kien worked backstage)
Braids are very on-trend right now, and this is a flirty and feminine version. It’s a perfect style to wear out at night after a day of surfing…but it’s also easy to recreate that beachy texture with Oribe products. Using neon string in the braid gives the perfect pop of color for summer and turns your hair into an accessory.
Top Knot with a Twist
(Seen at ParkMoonChoo Spring /Summer 2014 presentation – Kien was the lead hairstylist backstage)
This takes your top knot or messy bun and makes it a bit more fun—while still being an easy style to achieve. It’s very feathery and light to mimic what your hair might look like after a long day at the beach.

Sleek Ponytail
A sleek high-shine ponytail looks chic each season, but it’s especially great for getting hair off your neck and back for summer. Plus, using Gold Lust as a smoothing agent gives your hair an extra layer of UV protection.
Beach Party Waves
Nothing says summer like messy beachy waves—especially ones with a little sex appeal. Make sure to keep some Côte d’Azur Hair Refresher in your bag to eliminate odors from bonfires and keep your hair smelling fresh for any close encounters.

Imagine you’re a chic Parisian girl who has just moved to Nashville.
To understand the character for Calla’s F/W 2014 look, imagine you’re a chic Parisian girl who has just moved to Nashville. How do you give a nod to your new home while honoring your roots? Ramona Eschbach, lead hairstylist for Oribe Hair Care, suggests adding a fun and youthful edge to Dolly Parton’s classic look. The key to modernizing big hair, according to Eschbach, is creating a low side part and keeping most of the volume to one side.
