Here’s what Genevieve had to say (before & after photos below):
“Heather did an amazing job on my hair. I wanted someone to take charge and figure out a style that would make me look a little more professional. Well, I was definately in the right hands. Heather made me feel comfortable as she cut over three inches off of my locks and turned my only-wear-it-in-a-messy-ponytail-style into a beautiful bob that I can sport to work and out on the weekends.
I will be back in a couple of months when it is time for another trim and a full set of highlights.”
Here the client was looking to spice up her lovely long, straight locks into a shorter and more natural but fun layered cut. We topped it all off with some natural highlights and voila! It’s time for some fun in the sun!

Q:
How do I style a side ponytail with medium length hair? A:
The photo of Lauren Conrad to the left links to an article on welovebeauty.com where they explain how to create this look.
Or, if you’d like to see a stylist in action, watch the video below of FORD hairstylist, Johnny Lavoy where shows how to create this look with dry spray wax and humidity blocker finishing shield by Joico’s Design Collection. Then to finish it off, he uses a little bit of hair from a beauty supply store stating, “When you’re using extensions and stuff, you have to think of it as a hair accessory, don’t be ashamed to play with a little fake hair, it’s just like false lashes, it’s just like a necklace, you know it’s for fun, if you’re upfront about it, it’s just like wearing a hat really–”

Hills Inspired Side Ponytail
(Johnny Lavoy shows how to make a Hills inspired side ponytail as seen on Lauren Conrad and Miley Cyrus. To achieve the look Johnny uses products from Joico’s Design Collection.)
Here’s what Michelle had to say (before & after photos below):
“Heather has been making me beautiful for over a year now. She is the owner and founder of Cloud 9 Salon, an independent salon nestled in the heart of Lakeview. Throughout my tenure with Heather, I’ve had long locks, as well as my recent angled bob that’s well above my shoulders. And the best part is that I’ve loved them all.
Upon moving to Chicago 2 years ago, one of my biggest dreads was finding a new stylist b/c I have a hard time trusting people with my hair, especially highlights! But I gave Heather a shot and she has not disappointed. Both my highlights and lowlights have always looked really natural and received rave reviews from friends and colleagues…I guess that’s why half my friends now go to her!
Cloud 9 Salon is truly a diamond in the rough, as far as salons go, and I urge you to unpack your pick axe head over to Lakeview to claim your own treasure.”

Subject: Ask tristinstyling: How do I get hair like Eva Longoria?
Q:
I have long hair and want to know how to style it so it looks short but styled. How do I get hair like Eva Longoria in this picture? A: To get this look with long hair is easy. All you need to do is section the hair on your head off and roll and bobby pin. Then simply finish it all off with some hairspray and hair pins. Take a look at this Ford Models video which explains it all step by step.

How to: Make an Eva Longoria Bob
(Johnny Lavoy shows how to fake a bob with curled hair, which is a look made popular by Eva Longoria.)
Liz expressed to me that she wanted a more modern haircut that was fun and different. My suggestion to her was to do a trendy graduated bob with some layers and fringe. I did some interior and exterior texturizing to get her hair movement and shape. To style her hair I used a flat ironed to give her a sleek and shiny look.
Here is a Before&After photo of wardrobe stylist, Christine Matsunaga.
She expressed the need for something hip and new so I gave her some bangs, trimmed the rest of her hair down with some new layers to give it a softer look, and added just a touch of cherry highlights to give her that hip look she was longing for.
“Heather Hostetter who runs Cloud 9 is a wonderful Colorist and Hair Stylist! After working as an instructor at the AVEDA institute, she’s got all it takes to do hair right and she’s absolutely (if not the, one of) the sweetest people you’d ever meet too!
I’ve been working with her on photo shoots over the last few weeks so I get to see the before and after of it all! You know that Rawring purring vavavoom glamorous look you get after getting your hair done really well? Yeah… she has that power…
So just for fun, I did a mini makeover for client, Diana with stylist Christine Matsunaga at tristinstyling and look at what we came up with…
In the photo to the left, I curled her straight hair to give it volume and in the second photo to the right, I gave her a short layered haircut and Christine spunked it up with some product!
