Color Cartel - Hair Color for Dudes, " SAY NO TO HIGHLIGHTS"

Hair Color for guys should be mandatory,
but not what you think

and only if you adhere to a few rules:


#1)Never ever (EVER) get highlights. They only work on Dennis Leary and only because he's got four to five C-notes tied up in the production of them. The reason? Hair is not long enough normally, therefore they look stripe-y...

#2) Color on Color is safest and best choice for most. Have light Brown hair? Use light Brown Color or 1 shade darker only > why? > adds strength,thickness, shine and depth to hair strands. Its easy & is a super common trick many high dollar LA Colorist's use to give the illusion of thicker hair. Every actor you see on TV and film uses this trick.

Best line of Colour to add strength and shine? Wella's Colour Touch Demi Permanent(no regrowth line)> does not lighten.

#3) Do not do it yourself, unless your g/f has tons of style and a Cosmetology License. Don't scrimp on your hair Dumb Ass...you want to get laid or at least have a shot with the ladies? If your last name is not Pitt or Beckham you don't have the latitude to screw around with your locks and take a chance it might look just OK. Girls spend 1/2 their lifetime looking and analyzing hair, so they are looking at yours. I'm serious,spend $40-$50 on your cut and $30-$40 on your Color AT LEAST.
Girls dig guys that have cool colour,cool cuts... hey, I didn't invent it, I'm just the delivery girl.


4) The one and only way you should go blond or "lighter" than your own hair colour is if you have more hair than Amy Winehouse. Lighter takes "away strength" and "weakens hair", as much as the Beckam/Pitt blond-boys make swoon.. you need to watch out for your own and I have to say that's a big NO for blond boy toys.




This blond is combed upward in a technique called "shoe shine" -
WARNING : DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME



5.)Subtle very very subtle - is the word for guys color (unless you are going the "purple route" which can have its charm).
This guy has very artfully had some lighter brown pieces put in his dark brown hair. Here in LA it would cost a minimum of $100. for the color. But it looks hot.

You get what you pay for

Just like in Cars,TVs,Golf Clubs and you can now add Hair to the list.

Handsome Hair for Hunks










A Man's HairCut is the single most important factor in their upkeep.
Over the years I cannot tell you how many of the younger guys made fun of me for my hair cut REPUTATION for 3 reasons...
  1. the price I charged
  2. the length of time it took
  3. the CARE CARD that went along with it.

In my eyes, in the entire world of hair there is no hair cut more difficult, it is the most crucial and critical as it is so close and tight to the face. A woman's cut leaves lots of room for error, not a man's.

If I had one solid suggestion to the men about their hair ? Find a very competant hair cutter, one that does not use clippers, using clippers is just because they have no "eye" for shape which is so very crucial, if you have a crooked head and they use clippers you will have a crooked hair cut -- the clippers follow the shape of the head.

There is a difference in a great cut, maybe not one you can explain....but one you can feel and one you can see. Promise. Find a great Hair Stylist in your area, there is one in every city in America I am convinced. You must put a little effort into finding one.





















with many requests from ( straight) men for "hair style ideas" & pictures.. razerburn was born
men should have a place to scope out a style and download a pic to show to the barber/stylist just like chick-a-dees
50% of my clients were men....
Men would be just as interested in photos of cuts mainly but also color.....
I get requests for how to cover the temples of hair sideburns up - if grey- i'll go over that quickly...
no long stories and try to stick to what i think you want -- if I miss...make a comment if you want to keep it private..just say so.
