A great hair stylist
will take your look from basic to beauteous.
I had the chance to sit down with Tina Silvers, an amazing stylist from
Long Island to pick her thoughts about hair.
SR: When did you decide you wanted to be a hair
stylist?
TS: When I was in the 2nd grade, my
mom decided that it would be a good idea to cut my hair like “Janet” from
Three’s Company (a shag haircut). Since
I was a fan of the show, I thought it would be a great idea! It was an absolutely horrible haircut and it
traumatized me. I made the decision to
cut hair at that moment.
SR: What is your favorite part of hair styling?
TS: Definitely doing color and updos. I really love a challenge and the opportunity
to be creative. I enjoy testing my
ability and putting it to the test. My
favorite is being able to take short hair and making it appear longer. I love that.
SR: What is your
favorite style of up do?
TS: My favorite has to be the “pin-up girl” up do. The hairstyles then were so beautiful. The 20s’ and 30’s are definitely my favorite
decades.
SR: What product would you say your clients
prefer the most?
TS: Thicker Volumizer by Rusk. People love volume.
SR: What product is your favorite for personal
use?
TS: Tamer foam by ISO. It’s an amazing anti-frizz foam.
SR: What important hair care tips can you give
us?
TS: Try not to wash your hair every day. I know it’s hard for some of us, but try to
only wash your hair every other day. Excessive
washing can remove the scalp’s essential
oils which are necessary for healthy hair.
Also, Deep conditioning is a MUST!
It is so important to deep condition at least once a week to repair dry
and damaged hair.
SR: What are the most common causes of hair abuse
you see?
TS: HAIR STRAIGHTENING. Whether it is chemical or with a flat iron
people damage their hair like crazy.
Chemically, over processed hair is so weak and can break so easily. I constantly see teenage girls that have
seared the ends of the hair completely off and the only way to fix that is to
cut it off.
Tina is an amazingly
talented woman that has been a stylist for 18 years. It was a pleasure to sit with her and I want
to thank her for time and tips!
