Blue, PInk...Baby Shower or Hair Color?

Tonight I saw Bride Wars with one of my girl-friends. Whether or not you have seen this uber chick-flick, you have no doubt caught a preview, so it's no secret that in the midst of the "War," Kate Hudson ends up with some blue streaks. And I'm not gonna lie, I kinda liked it.

Long may be the days of us dipping some strands of hair into koolaid for a weeklong expression of teenage rebellion, while rocking out to Smells Like Teen Spirit, however, a sublte yet bold touch of color can be the ultimate accessory, not to mention look ridiculously awesome...if done right.

Let us not forget when Rachel McAdams showed up to the 2007 SAG awards donning bright pink highlights. I absolutely LOVED when she went through this phase. Picture how she would look sans pink in this photo...not so special anymore, huh? The color brings out her eyes, and emmanates that bubbly personality we all love in Wedding Crashers.
And to the brunettes in the room, have no fear - the pink will look absolutely fabulous with your coloring as well (See pic below).

When it comes to coloring, I am an all out advocate for professional treatments-especially if it's something like pink. You dont want to try this out on your own for the first time, with the post-rinse having you look like a Halloween Adventure employee. If I were to do something on my own, I would try some extensions. This is a sure-fire way to ensure you don't have to leave the house if the pink doesn't work for you as well as it does for Miss McAdams. ..and you can always return them for money, or use them for a future bachelorette party. Plus, extensions give you the opportunity to experiement with more than one color.

If you're up for the challenge, try Francesco & Giovanni Salon in Trooper, PA (near Norristown). As one happy customer said "For my 50th birthday I wanted pink highlights in my hair. Jen understood exactly what I wanted and the result was beautiful. Thank you Francesco & Giovanni!!"
