"I wanted to meet girls," the 25-year-old Breaking Dawn star joked on The Late Show with David Letterman Tuesday night. "That was the main thing."

A few years and one mega-hit vampire movie franchise later, Rob's plan seems to have worked out pretty well. Not only did acting land him his current girlfriend Kristen Stewart, but it also earned him the intense adoration of female fans around the world.

"It's not just teenage girls," RPattz told Letterman. "It's older [women] too. The older ones are far more passionate fans."

Featured Corner #2

As acolorist having someone leave without a makeup touch up to me makes no sense, Ihave always said if a client comes in as a brunette and leaves as a red headwith the same makeup as she came in with then we really haven�t done our job.We both work from the same palette and I must say I have been fortunate throughmy career to have worked with some of the best makeup artist there is and havepicked up many tricks but no one has taught me as much as my featured makeupartist Anna Conte.

For the past 15 years she has been ourmakeup /eyebrow guru not only for the salons as well a part of The Aveda CanadianCreative Team, with a clientele so devoted to her talents that you have tobook a appointment months in advance, why so popular? It�s her passion, gentletouch, fashion forwardness and servant�s heart. A born educator she shows herclients how to use and apply the products always even if it�s in a 15 minuteappointment and above all makes every person she services feel beautiful. Thiscolleague of mine shares with me almost my entire clientele and there has neverbeen a time any one of them brought a compliant to me in fact there eyebrowslook impeccable and there makeup finish is completely connected complimentingthem and hair color! Her favourite makeup artist and peer is Fulvia Farolfi ,one of mine is Ms Conte.




Patch Testing For Hair Color


HairColor sensitivities is known to be the third most common allergy afterfragrance and preservatives and I am not exactly sure nor an expert on why weare seeing more and more allergies towards hair coloring products today. It hasbecome more apparent to me that bringing back the patch test and making it amandatory policy in the salons is the safest approach for both client andstylist to do. There could be thousands of reasons why some people haveallergies towards hair dyes and some don�t, it is very possible to also suddenly becomeallergic maybe during times of stress, change of life, diet, medicines, water(plumbing) or simply a product formulation change.

A patchtest is a tiny patch of color product which we place onto your skin to test foran allergic reaction. I always dot either behind the ear, nape or in the crookof the elbow. I leave it on for at least 15 minutes and if there is an allergicreaction it generally takes place almost immediately, the area would feel itchyor redden and possibly a bit of swelling might occur. Now having said all thisplease keep in mind that even if you use non-debilitating non-aggressiveproducts things can change, so let new and long term clients know to ALWAYSmention to you that they are feeling something different on their scalp.

Recently I had a client who has seen me foryears and all of a sudden she tells me that she is feeling a bit of burning(this has never happened before) quickly I moved her to a cooler spot in thestudio which seemed to subside what she described as burning, she alsomentioned that lately she had been experiencing hot flashes and when I touchedher shoulder I could not believe the heat that was coming off her, hence peopleand things change. At the end of her service at the shampoo sink we finishedoff with a cool water rinse, her hair color was as always the same and noindication of sores on her head, could it have been because I acted fast incooling her down ? Might be but I do know for next time to take extra care inhow to approach this client who is suffering with menopause. I am a firmbeliever in practising the art of being safe after all we are servicing the generalpublic and with that comes many challenges, let�s eliminate this one by simplydoing a quick patch testing.

Crimson & Red Rose Hair Color


Adding Crimson-Red Rose shades into your hair color palette offersthis fall/winter an assortment of choices for all those red heads or wannabesout there. This fall/winter attention is on red hair colors with more blue/violet in them that will work withmost skin tones adding richness and a healthy glow and a bit of pow. My Crimson Reds are equal parts of red + violet, Red Rose is equal parts of red+violet+a dash of orange, and regardlessof any level  on a current brunette or redshade going either way can add an overall or dimensional fantastic look to agreat haircut.

I very rarely just do an all over solid color (tint, single process)on my clients even if I take a few slices of the hair and apply the same new-growth(root) color to those pieces and leave the rest out, end result hi-lited hair ina flash and not always do we have to refresh all the hair all the time. Anotherway I am loving using these tones  arecolor blocking whether vertically or horizontal sections layering these 2shades either together or with darker rich browns  and blacks commands attention. My beliefs onred hair colors and skin tones is this; warm skin is primarily complemented bycool hair color, cooler skin is primarily complemented by warm hair color,hence a dash of orange in our Red Rose,  remembering that it's all about balance and nothing is more regal then a festive red jewel whether on a finger, lip or hair color. 

The Braid


History has shown us that no matter what the currenttrend may be the hair braid is a classic and open for reinvention. And as theholiday and party season is approaching hair braiding is a great way to addaccessory to the hair, whether it�s a french braid, milkmaid braid, fishtailbraid, princess braid, hair pieces that are braids or plaiting braids they allare definitely something to consider offering something different to your clients instead of boring same old holiday upstyles.

So if we can start to look at that client who alreadyloves getting an upstyle (updo) and those who would look great in them we haveplenty of time to plant the seed with them. And have you booked solid forholiday hair and not only haircuts/blow-dries, we all need to be reminded fromtime to time to step out of the box having fun be creative so here is one ofthose opportunities to make an upstyle  the talk of the town.
