Fantastic Sams Summer Looks 

It’s been almost 8 weeks since I have seen my amazing hairdresser.  Of course she has been booked solid, so in the meantime my highlights have been in the overgrown stage and we have not been able to make our schedules work.  Guess what I did?  I cheated on my hairdresser last week and made an appointment at Fantastic Sams. I have been in desperate need of a color pick me up.

Disclosure: Thanks to Fantastic Sams for sponsoring this post. 

Here’s my before (with my crazy hair) and after with a fresh lighter look.  My Fantastic Sams stylist took my dark hair to a more carmel color and added a few  highlights to frame my face and on the crown.  I am loving this fresh lighter look.  And side note, I am wearing my favorite Pickwick & Weller tee ( I am obsessed with it).

If your not in the market for a color change why not go with a fun summer style to give yourself a whole new look.

Fantastic Sams offers kick your look up a notch styles.  

This summer is all about fun looks for night’s out or even a glam day.  Check out these tips from fantastic Sam’s style expert, Pam Kelly.

Braids are back – And oh, so versatile! Adding one or two braids to your prom hairstyle will add detail to the design. You can create an updo focused on the braids or simply incorporate braids as a cool accent for your half updo.

The half up/half down style creates an elegant and dressy look, pushing hair off the face and allowing your locks to flow in a cascade of curls. Try an aymmetrical style by pulling hair over to one side and over the shoulder for the latest red carpet trend.

Short hair – Short hair can be prom chic and versatile by adding waves or curls. Pull the sides back, secure with sparkly barrettes and create loose waves or curls on the top of the head. The more texture the better, so separate the waves/curls with your fingers for a tousled, sassy look!

Classic – try a French twist but leave a few tendrils around the face to avoid an overly styled look. It’s all about creating a perfectly undone look!

Don’t forget to add hair accessories.  Bobby pins are a girl’s best friend – use colored pins to keep your hair in place and sparkly ones to add a little glitz. For a full- proof way to add glamour to your look, try on a beaded or rhinestone headband which could add a diva touch!

Whether you’re going for curls, a top knot, ballerina bun or chignon, go glossy with Fantastic Sams Shine Spray!
