Is Hairstyles Makeover Suitable for You?

Women spend about $61 billion between the makeup counter and hair salon, and yet we all have stories of haircuts and lipsticks that have gone horribly wrong.

Now there may be a fix. You can change your look before you even spend a dime. That right, the computer hairstyle makeover offered in the net.

Red Carpet looks are all the rage -- from Jennifer to Anne to Rachel and more -- but how many times have you bought the latest "it" color only to see it's an "ick" color on you?


"Now it's my turn to try out a new look. Will I be a red head, brunette? Can I try out that season's red lipstick color or that dark smoky eye? Now's the time to find out," said one of the top hairstylist.

Pull back your hair, take off your makeup, and upload a picture … all for free. Then pucker up with a berry pink lip and check out the full palette of hair colors and looks from The Aniston long blonde braid to the Ginnifer sassy brunette with smoky eye and sheer lip, or the redheaded Rachel Evan Wood complete with the season's red lip.

"The makeover sites are the biggest trends right now," said Eleanor Langston, beauty editor at Self magazine.

Langston said the myriad of Web sites that let you try out all the latest looks are a great start to a new you.

But you can get closer to that Hollywood look, even if you don't earn a celebrity paycheck.

L'Oreal Professional: 100 Years of Inspiration

For 100 years, L’Oreal (founded by Eugene Schueller who initially sold his formulation of a hair dye and sold it door to door to salons) has inspired the world with its breakthrough products and services for and by the world’s greatest hairstylists. To celebrate the milestone, one of its leading salon brands, L’Oreal Professionnel, held a grand celebration at the very place where it all began – Paris, France.

L’Oreal has always been a staunch partner since we began the Hair Asia competitions two decades ago so I was delighted when Mr. Bram Timmer and Mr. Luc Marquet of L’Oreal Philippines invited me to join the celebrations as part of the Philippine delegation. Our contingent also included Charisse Hernandez, marketing manager of L’Oreal Professionnel, Pauline Juan, editor-in-chief of Preview magazine, Alex Carbonell and Paolo of Bench Fix Salon, Les and Dina Reyes with their daughters Celeste and Dina Marie, Jeof Moran, Robert Salazar, Teng Roma and Lourd Ramos of Emphasis Salon, Andrea and Anton Zulueta of Piandre Salon, Lorna Sandoval, Ino Amoyo, Raul Barrios, Jade Mercado, Zernan Olandez, Edwin Sales of David’s Salon, Maria Lyn Kho, Edwin Samot, and Phillip Tordjman.
