1. Hair Cheat: Glossy Texture Without Frizz

This chic bun with a modern twist (literally!) is perfect for everything from work parties to a girl’s night out. The key to this look is maintaining ultra-glossy texture without any frizz, and here’s how:

• Prep The Pony: Starting with a high ponytail at the crown, apply Joico Blonde Life Brilliant Glow Brightening Oil into your hands and emulsify. Work the oil through the ponytail section to prep the hair, then twist the section repeatedly and coil around the base. Secure with hairpins. 

• Try This Net Trick: Apply Joico JoiMist Firm Finishing Spray to the the bun. Then, wrap it with a net and apply cool air using a dryer—this will set the look and tame any unwanted flyaways for a high-gloss effect.

2. Hair Cheat: Fix Hairline Flyaways

With dramatic updos—think snatched ponies, braids and buns—that pull all the hair away from the face, be careful with unwanted frizz and flyaways from the hairline. Instead of fixing the problem by piling on product or starting over, use this quick-fix!

Try This Tool: Richard recommends applying Joico JoiMist Firm Finishing Spray to a toothbrush and carefully brushing around the hairline. These small and firm bristles allow extreme precision around the face frame and seamless blending into any style.

3. Hair Cheat: Instantly Elevate Any Style

What’s one of our holiday-favorite hair trends? Embellishments, and here’s why! By adding an accessory—like chains, pins and bows—any simple style will instantly look more intricate and customized to your client’s personal style.

Consider This: For holiday season, order an arrangement of hair accessories and offer them to clients during their style consultation. Then, include the price of the accessory into their ticket! Or tell clients that they should bring in their own. This will show how dedicated you are to keeping them on-trend and is an easy way to improve client retention.
