Bumble & bumble has a range of products to get your curls looking top-notch. Since everyone’s curls are different, there are various techniques and products that our stylists recommend.
1. Defining Creme – Heather uses this product for curls that are of a finer texture. Sara likes to use it on curly and wavy hair for a soft hold and separation. Adam uses this one to make curls soft, sensuous, and touchable because it is an extremely lightweight product.
2. Calming Creme – Heather recommends this product to smooth and form curls that are of a medium to coarse texture. Sara says it’s a great product for extremely curly hair, and Adam agrees that it is best for unruly curls.
3. Holding Foam – Heather recommends the foam for a stronger hold for your curls. Sara agrees that this product offers a stronger hold, without being crunchy. She also says that it helps give body and volume to fine, limp hair. Adam will sometimes use the holding foam as a set for curls and says that it is good for people who like the benefit of a foam without the crunchiness.
4. Reactivating Mist – Heather says this is a great product for after and in-between shampoos to cut frizz and bring back life to curls. Sara often uses the mist to refresh curls between washes. Adam recommends using this product as a toner for curls after washing, and then following it up with the defining or curling creme when your hair is 75% dry. He also uses it on dry hair to separate the curls – just spray from 6-12 inches away and scrunch your curls.
For more suggestions and curl advice stop in and ask your stylist.

Adam finds inspiration in many things, but his strongest connection is with nature. He has a multitude of nature-related books at home, and at the salon Adam is our orchid whisperer (he has rejuvenated the orchids the rest of us have given up on). Adam sees the simplicities and complexities of nature: he can find inspiration in a simplistic water drop or in the complex texture of butterfly wings. Then he transfers these elements of inspiration into his work, specifically for makeup. Always striving to be classic yet inventive, Adam pushes himself to see what everyone else sees but think of what no one else has thought.

Retro – that is one word that definitely describes Heather. She loves, loves, loves fashion and music from the 50′s, 60′s, and 70′s and always incorporates the looks from those decades into her personal style. Heather is inspired when she makes people feel and look their absolute best. She melds her love of her favorite decades and her passion to help people look amazingly polished in order to transform haircuts and styles from the past into an updated version and then finishes with her H-Town signature in order to create the perfect look for her guests.
Call the salon today to make an appointment with Heather to get retrolized!
