Ballet Flats

I have a love affair with ballet flats — I love flat shoes! Don’t get me wrong heels are amazing. This girl, simply, cannot walk in them :)

You would think being a gymnast for all those years I would be able to balance in 5 inch stilettos, yeah… not so much!

SO… here are a few Spring shoe trends that are right up my alley!

Pointed Ballet Flats

T-Strap Ballet Flats

Ankle Strap Ballet Flats

Balayage & Ombre

Though it’s not a new trend, we have received a lot of requests by our clients to talk about this recurring technique. Balayage and Ombre highlights are a great way to achieve an effortless and tousled look.  The Ombre technique typically features a darker, thicker root, with a lighter colored end. The Balayage technique is a chunkier, all over beachy look. Are you a low-maintenance hair kind of girl? This coloring could be the perfect fit for you.

It is bohemian-chic, that appears to have a natural and controlled grown-out look. Celebrities such as Jessica Biel, Hillary Duff, Whitney Port, Giselle Bunchden, Jennifer Aniston, and more. The color is painted on by hand, giving it a natural look with a pop of color at the ends surrounding the face. The beauty of balayage is that it is customized to each person, their hair, and face shape, so no one person has the same look as another.

Lucky for you girls, we happen to do balayage and ombre techniques here at Jennie Kay a Beauty Parlour!

Call the beauty parlour or visit our website www.jenniekaybeauty.com to book your next ombre/balayage appointment!

Tangerine Tango

What better way to channel Summer (with recent 70+ degrees in New England, it happens to be closer than we think!) than with a bright, cheery, loud and playful ensemble or makeup look? A color you’ll see this year worldwide is the Pantone color of the year, ‘Tangerine Tango’. What is a Pantone color of the year? It is a color shade declared by the Pantone company which is mass-adopted by various industries (print, textiles, paint, and etcetera).

Tangerine Tango Fabric Palate

This attention grabbing color is sure to stand out against the rest, offering a wide spectrum of oranges, corals, and subtly neon.

Check out some of the spring runways’ and designers’ use of Tangerine tones!

Not daring enough to sport a bright orange frock? The thing is, you can incorporate this bright color in minor details, whether it be a simple accessory or lipstick color. Try a slightly more subtle grab at it, with tangerine nail polishes, and makeup hues…

Bliss Celebrations Launch

This past Thursday night, the Beauty Parlour team attended the launch of Bliss Celebration’s 2nd issue. The event was located at the Providence Public library. The library was transformed into a glamourous space; a purple and blue glow lit up the room, with seemingly stenciled designs and shadows projected across the ceilings and walls. Orchids, florals, and jewels were placed on complimenting decorative cocktail tables. Naturally, gourmet appetizers lined the bookshelves. We met new friends and reconnected with familiar faces. It was an excellent night! Be sure to pick up a copy, and keep a eye out for our ad on page 206 of the issue :) .

All That Glitters is Rosegold

A style we’re seeing on the runways this winter and into the spring is the color trend and tones of rose gold. Not only is the color prominent in the fashion industry, it has now made its way into the hair industry. First came feather extensions, then came glittery tinsel extensions, then came dip-dying various colors and spectrums, and now we are seeing girls everywhere incorporate a rose gold tint into their manes and it looks nothing short of stunning. Rose gold is being used in accessories, shoes, accents such as hardware. Somewhere amongt the family of strawberry blondes, brunettes, and redheads, the amazing aspect of this copper color is that it is easily mixed with the other metals. Rose gold extensions, and rose gold tinting in hair is a fun way to add a subtle or drastic look to one’s hair, whether you are a cool blonde, a deep red, or a chocolate brunette, the tones blend amazingly. The color looks great on virtually everyone, and it is the perfect balance of fun and bold for your hair.

This color has easily blended into daily style, fashion, and accessories with the versatility it holds in the ability to be worn in a casual or dressy, chic or funky way. Here are some other ways rose gold is making its presence known in fashion and beauty:

Curling Irons vs Curling Rods

Professional Tools  = Hot, Sexy, HEALTHY Beautiful Hair :) There will be no frying of the hair in my chair

Curling Rod is a clipless iron that creates a more beachy, soft wavy style also know as “lived in hair” or “bed head”  whether the waves are large or  small  depends on the size of the curling rod …yes size does matter (enzo milano are my FAVS) 


Marcel Curling Irons are what I prefer for a traditional curling tool (ahem… I mean it is the tool for the professional ) They heat up quickly and evenly unlike like the spring curling irons you may have in your home..this iron is AHHHmazing for so many different reasons

the 1″ size barrel is a must have…the style of curl  you can achieve with this tool is endless …soft romantic curls, a nice bend to the ends of the hair, or the most requested kardashian curl style…yup this tool can do it all!
