Ryan Teal in Hair Style Show Case Page 26

Look what layers can do for you!

According to Ryan Teal of Teal Salon in Portland Or, Layers ” are like what a screw or a nail is to a cabinet- you can’t make most cuts without them.” When done by a pro, they can give someone with fine hair more volume and can make big, fat hair look “skinnier” with more control.

Layers can also enhance your hair texture. “The more layers, the more texture you’ll get, including that bedhead, messy look,” Says Teal. “Product can make a big difference, too but the haircut has to be there first.”

In order to get the right layered look for you, Teal suggests brining in pictures. And when you come in for a consultation-some-thing you should have every time you visit your stylist — dont come in with your hair in a ponytail. “Drop it!” says Teal. “I’m looking at how your hair is hitting your face and I’m drafting a plan as I look at your eyes. This non-verbal communication is what enables a talented stylist to create a beautifully crafted cut.”

TRANSITION POINT

Variations on a theme

For this collection, the Teal Artistic Team of Portland, Oregon, opted to complete a study of faces with a sequence of transitional styling- a series where the model wears her hair versus the hair wearing the model. This experiment involved taking a pretty face and seeing what could be done hair wise, pushing how far one cut and color could be stretched into a variety of styles.

For each of the three models, The TEAL Artistic Team started with a highly textured look, which was created by applying handfuls of mousse mixed with curl forming lotion to damp hair. Take a look at the results!

For Kathleen, a ravishing red head, extra small perm rods were used as rollers to create the first look, which is just gorgeous pulled into a lovely up do. Wetting the hair and smoothing sections with a flat iron quickly creates a smooth finish.

This was an Interview I did about 3 weeks ago. Here is what it says if you cant read the small print.

THE BEST CUT ION THE WORLD WONT WORK FOR YOU IF IT DOESNT FLATTER YOUR FACE SHAPE.

Just like the rest of us stars don’t necessarily have the perfect facial shapes. They just learn- often through trial and error- how to make the most of their flaws and flatter their assets. It’s all about illusions with height, volume and angles.

FIGURE OUT YOUR FACE SHAPE

To determine your face shape, brush your hair behind your ears and clip your bangs out of the way. Then, look in the mirror; you can even draw an outline of your face on the mirror with lipstick. Now, analyze what you see.

Your facial proportions are what determine your face shape, which is divided roughly into thirds. If your an ideal oval, the area from your hairline to the top of the nose (between your brows), the top of the nose to the top of the lips and the lips to the chin should be nearly equal. Use a measuring tape to be sure.

The star descriptions that follow- with expert analyses and tips from RYAN TEAL of TEAL SALON in Portland, OR- will help you figure out what face shape category you fall into… and how much better you could look in a different style.

HEART

The HEART-SHAPED FACE Like Hayden Panettiere’s is wider than it is long, with a narrow chin and most of the width at the forehead.

WHAT WORKS:

Full waves toward the bottom widen her face at the chin area and divert attention from the top.

WHAT DOESNT:

Straight hair is less a flattering move. “It Plays up her chin more.” Teal says.

ALSO TRY: A soft fringe- nothing too hard- to de-emphasize a high forehead

Actress Monet Mazur’s face shape is a variation on the classic heart- her chin is more prominent and squared off, while her forehead is proportional.

WHAT WORKS:

A bob with angled side bangs creates balance, bringing the viewer’s eye upward away from her chin. Plus, the flipped-out ends widen the bottom area in the same way as Hayden’s curls.

WHAT DOESNT:

“Bangs are not a good idea- She has such a strong jaw, they create a sharp triangular effect,” says Teal,

ALSO TRY: a little curl or wave positioned at the bottom.

SQUARE

The SQUARE-SHAPED FACE Like Drew Barrymore’s has a prominent jaw and, like the heart, it is wider than it is long.

WHAT WORKS:

Texture and length help soften her face’s angularity. Teal also prefers Drew’s warm red color to her more recent bleach-y blonde

WHAT DOESNT:

According to Teal, Drew shouldn’t wear her hair straight. “straight hair laying flat on a square face makes the angles look stronger. The length is also not the best for her- it draws a straight line across her neck, which is not her prettiest feature.”

ALSO TRY: Sides that come forward to camouflage the face’s width, interior layers and, if you want to go shorter, hair that is chin length.

ROUND

You have a ROUND FACE Like Alexis Bledel’s if your cheeks are full, round and wide.

WHAT WORKS:

Longer hair that’s worn close to the head slims her face. Bangs also helps by making her high forehead seem less prominent.

WHAT DOESNT:

A wider silhouette is a bad idea. “A short, round face needs height and length.”

ALSO TRY: A low ponytail worn tight to the head. “this would look nice on her. She should also wear fringe to play up her beautiful eyes.”

OBLONG

The OBLONG FACE Like this has a chin that is too wide in proportion to the  forehead.

WHAT WORKS:

“I love her hair back. the fringe creates a nice oval shape that flatters her face beautifully. This is one of my favorite looks.”

WHAT DOESNT:

“Those horrible long extensions look like a beaver stuck to her head,”Teal says. and length is the surest way to make a long face longer.

ALSO TRY: Hair that’s shoulder length or shorter with fullness on the sides. “A long skinny face needs height.”

“STRONG HAIR

These images certainly are strong… In cut, color, styling and shape.  Even the finished photos fight to be noticed. Take a cue for this season’s upcoming looks and train your arsenal of skills to bring out your strengths.  Find inspiration from these over the top looks that you can use to separate your work from the rest.”

The biggest comment I get is,  “I would never wear that hair style!”  DUH.  I mean, come on, just because I am a hairdresser does not mean that everything I do needs to be wearable.  Does every painting or every picture need to be hung on your wall?

Let’s ask Dianne Arbus or Salvadore Dali?

I dare not compare myself to such artists,  but I do wish that clients as well as hairdressers could except our Art as Art, and except what we do behind the chair as our Craft.

Anyhow, for those of you who don’t know, we all practice Martial Arts in my family.  The Samurai influence came from that including  the fact that I am a video gamer.  I was playing a lot of War Craft, when the inspiration came to me.

(What was I thinking?)

Kacey - I have to say Kacey is a Pro.  That hair piece on her head was made out of chicken wire and it was jabbing into her skull, but she still pulled off this amazing shot.  I think she looks like an Amazon.  She stands like 6′ 9″ and with the hair she was like 9 feet tall.  This is one of my personal favorites.

Chris - Chris was our “pitch”  hitter.  We called him at 6 o’clock on Monday, when the male model we had booked was a “no show” and we were to be out of the studio by 8 o’clock.   Chris drove in 45 minutes to be here and pulled off this shoot in the bottom of the last inning with only minutes to spare.  Chris, by the way,  is a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs.

I think he looks like NEO and I am a nerd.

Candace - The inspiration for this shot was Afro Samurai, as in the new video game with Sam Jackson.  I saw the hair in a clip and wanted to recreate the look of a flowing Afro. DeAnnalyn tied the rope around the bottom which gives it the whole hair tie feeling.

This is wig made out of that cheap weaving hair (that you get from Sally’s Beauty Supply) that I backcombed and dipped in wood varnish.

Adazoe - I love working with Adazoe.   She is super hip, and even has her own vintage clothing store in Portland.  We used her last year and  decided to use her again this year. It is something about her eyes makes the character sing.  We met Adazoe on the set of an LG Flat Screen commercial and we became fast friends.

This is a recycled bit from last year’s shot that we sewed together, backcombed and dipped in wood varnish.

Meridith - David, the photographer,  found her on Model Mayhem.  She had little or no portfolio to her name.  Originally,  we were going to use her only for the Color Collection,  but when one of the models needed to leave in a hurry, Meridith stepped in and gave us this shot.  Personally, I think this is up there with some of the best stuff D and I have ever done.

This hair piece is made out of wefts secured to a piece of drywall sandpaper, than cut to expose the color.

Kasey - This is Kasey again,  the same model as in the first image.  Yes, that is her real hair. The sword in the shot adds to the intensity.  I like the pose.

Errienne - Was actually a Beauty School student of mine who we shot with last year. I like to tell her that we use her only to make all of the other models look prettier.  But really, she is beautiful.  In this photo, as well as in last year’s photo,  it is her right hand that makes me love her.  She does that thing with her index finger, and that I think is so real.

This was one of the tougher pieces to make.  I think it took me close to 50 hours.  That is actually hair that I created into a bamboo helmet.  Suffice it to say that it would  take almost as many hours to explain how I did it.

This is on page 67 of the magazine as well.  LeAnne Marshall made the collar.

Thank you for reading.

“FULL SPECTRUM COLOR

BEST OF EVERYTHING

Why have just one color when you can have them all?

Leave hair closest to your face natural brunette and have red or blond panels added to follow pieces at the curves of the head. In salons, wider than-normal hair painting creates a smart blend.

This Photo Shoot was done January 3rd, 2009 With our good friends Kelly Taggert, and David WInterhaulter. I dont know if any of you know what was going on in Portland in December and January 2009. We were under Blizzard like conditions. So Friday night Tuesday and i go pick up the Wardrobe from LeAnne Marshall one of Tuesday’s Hero’s since Project Runway. As we pulled up to her studio it started to snow. Luckily it finished about 1 am but the cold stayed. Well into the next morning.

So when booked booked the studio they failed to mention that there is no heat on the weekends. In fact the studio used to be a film storage locker so it seamed to keep the cold in. So for the first 3 hours we had to listen to everyone complain about how cold it was, and yes it sure was,  so i had no idea how to fix it. I remember a long line of people walking up to me and informing me how cold it was. (Duh i was there as well.) so i would go and turn some knobs and look official but in reality i was doing nothing. Finally David asked Mikayla and Janelle to stand just out of camera site with to space heaters so the models skin wasn’t blue anymore.

The model in this photo is Meridith, who David found two days before the shoot, she had only done some snap shots, but when she showed up she was a trooper. In fact this is one of my favorite shots of the weekend.
