Hot Haircolors At The Grammys
Katy Perry gets my vote for best brunette

I just returned from Philadelphia where I had a great time with Daneen - AKA Spoiled Pretty. I invited her to my suite to have a red carpet party for the Grammy's. I gotta say we had a blast - playing with hair color, gossiping about red carpet looks and of course sharing some tasty treats. Here's what I thought:
A Red - Adele. First of all I'm thrilled that one of my FAV new artists was recognized at the awards show for her amazing talent. I am now going to recognize her for her pretty red hair. I love the subtle redness that sets off her complexion so beautifully. If I were going to color it tomorrow I would keep the base the same but kick it up a notch with some lighter coppery highlights. Even as-is I think she looked pretty as a picture.
A Blonde - Carrie Underwood. Personally, I'm not a big country and western fan. I do like what I like however and Carrie Underwood made the cut. Congratulations sister - on hitting the mark perfectly with your gorgeous sandy blond. Her color is perfect with the trend we are seeing all over the red carpets of a turn away from a very golden blond to something a little more beachy/sandy. Oh yea and congrats on the Grammy girly!!!
A Brunette - Katy Perry. I have one thing to say. Devastating. I loved the deep brunette shade - so gorgeous with the pink lip and pink gown. In one night she worked both pin-up girl and music starlet. She looked so good I might kiss a girl and like it! Just kidding.
Did you have a Grammy FAV? LMK
Daneen - you are so adorable I can barely stand it! Total crush on you! It was fantastic to see you in the salon while you were in NYC for fashion week - I saw some of your posts on spoiled pretty - you covered a lot of ground - congrats on a successful trip! xoxo Jason

This not so much a comment, but a question. I currently reside in Northern London, and a graduate student, so money is an issue for me. I have been in numerous salons around trying to find someone who uses something other than L'Oreal. I don't know anything about L'Oreal.
I use to do hair myself, and got out of the business due to my ex being in the military. Matter of fact I went to high school with Ted in Killeen. But anyway can you help a girl out and tell me some options? Aveda is expensive for me, with a student budget, and a child to take care of, so I need some other options.
Thank you for your time, love your work.
