I know, I know, I just couldn't help myself!! Posting this crazy ‘crap’ hairstyle for you all to check out!!! Yikes! Some people just love attention, don't they? No matter how they do it…
At least the ‘art work’ is done well enough for us to work it out!
Hairstyles by Leonardo Manetti
Found these looks in a magazine and thought they were really cute, The whole session was with the same girl but with a different look for each outfit. The looks were very ‘rocker chick’ meets ‘rocker billy’ look, Love it, Thanks Leonardo!

Dove Palmer is Creative Director for Vidal Sassoon Advanced Academy in London, UK. He also ran the Masters Academy for them too and has made 3 DVD step by step videos as well helped in contributing at least 12 haircut pictures for the Academy Photo collection. I came across Dove's work on Facebook and instantly LOVED the exquisite work done by him. Funnily enough Dove turned out to have the same mentor as I did back in the day. Stacey Broughton (also from Sassoons) has been his mentor since he went to work for Sassoon's. I definitely spotted the Stacey traits in the haircuts.
I have so many different styles to show you that he has done over the years that I have decided to split them up into 3 slide shows so that we can make the most of showcasing his work. Dove's specialty seems to be on Asian hair, whether its because he tours to the Far East to do seminars so much (and for up to 4months at a time) or maybe its because his wife has so many friends that needs to utilise his craft, I don't know, but whatever it may be, I'm so happy to be able to show you his creative work on Asian hair. Here is part 1 of 3, I will show you the others at a later date so look out for more of his precision cutting : )
Thanks Dove for letting me share with my readers.
Davines Nou Nou Shampoo for Colored Hair..
For those who do use conditioner, Nou Nou also makes the conditioner cream for color treated hair. I have tried it and found it to be not too heavy, so it doesn't leave your hair too flat and soft.
Comes in handy travel sizes that I love, fillable bottles that you can use for a long time.
TRUE OR FALSE:
Q: Will rinsing the hair with cold water after a shampoo give you shinier hair?
FALSE!
A: Rinsing with cold water will have no effect on the shine of your hair at all! (So don’t torture yourself)
With the holidays just around the corner, I figured it would be a good time to promote my Texture Powder Styler…this unique product would make a great gift for anyone who has flat fine hair that needs more body or oily flat thick hair that needs de-greasing!
I thought it would be a good idea for me to wrap them nicely (as they can be an awkward shape to wrap oneself, including instructions) so that its all ready to go!
After afew trips and long Q’s to Michael’s and Jo-Ann Fabrics, I came up with this idea…
I used a gold coin to represent the lighter shade and a black coin to represent the darker, it looks simple but believe me it was hard to make it look Christmassy without the tackiness of it all, and with my first version, I tried to keep it all natural looking and it ended up looking like a sack made from Jesus' cloak!! I’ll show you just for a larf..
It had a round bottom so it just kept falling over!!
Anyway, once I was happy with my wrapping I ended up doing quite afew where they will be sold at Dekko Salon in San Francisco, CA. (sorry picture’s abit dark, it took forever!)
For online sales, if you like the way I’ve wrapped it, I can do some special wrapped orders but please drop me a line first at jules@jujuchan.com
Cheers!
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it.........
Oooo, sorry Mr. but this is one is a huge ‘Miss’ to me I’m afraid!! Just about everything is a No No. The frizzy perm on top of the blow dried into place bottom section, framing the face and looking overly feminine just does nothing for suitability. The shape is way too round, and then there’s the color..Yuck!
So when I go to the UK (England) I usually get soo excited and stimulated by all the different styles, whether in clothing or in hair, so you can imagine my disappointment this time when I didnt see my usual inspirations! I was hoping to come home with lots of pictures to show you of great hair, but alas, it was not meant to be, I managed to find 4 people who were willing to let me take shots of their hair. But never mind.. what I lacked in pictures of hair, I made up with pictures of great scenery and food : )
I found UK to be like everywhere else in the world this time and I think the world is becoming like ONE, you can find just about everything everywhere, not much individuality left in this world : (
So whether the world really is merging or whether it was just the fact that I was only in London for 3days and I was soo busy shopping that all the cool hair was just passing me by, I'm not sure! But enjoy anyway!
Every so often in Dekko Salon we get clients who really want to have full-on changes, so here we have Helen who came in to see Joni Shibata at the salon for her change.
Here’s Helen before her haircut:
The hair is in a long basic layered look with a softer swept over fringe. She wanted to have a much shorter asymmetric look, which was stronger, trendier and had some ‘pop’ to it, she brought in a picture with a slight bowl look and here was Joni’s interpretation of it using both scissors for the bluntness and a razor for the texture. Very cute and dramatic. Thanks Helen for letting us show it and letting us know how much you love it : )
Another messy updo that I love. An elegant, classy sophisticated shape combined with a loose, messy, couldnt care less feel! This is how ALL updo’s should be like!

Takeshi Kaneshiro:
Seems like there is a lot of lady fans out there so I couldn't resist putting together my own collection of his hair and different look, personally I prefer him with his longer locks but hey, with this kind of cuteness, who cares, He can come anyway he wants : )
Here's to keep you all happy for now, Enjoy!
The other week I spent a fun filled day working with some of the great staff at Hyphen Magazine (a non-profit magazine focusing on Asian-American topics, you can subscribe by following the link). What started as a simple article about me and my new JujuChan product written by Margot Seeto, then became more and then even more, ending up with a section about my top 5 Asian hair offenses, now, because pictures speak louder than words, we ended up doing a photo session to try to capture my looks.
Thanks to Andria Lo and Erica Jones (from Hyphen) who took this to the next level, who then introduced me to the photographer Patrick Gonzales Rafanan and his lovely assistant Lydia Ortiz, both from Soybaby. The make up artist on the shoot was Elaine Fujii who captured all the looks to go with the dreaded hairstyles, not an easy feat, I know. Also Thanks to Scott Klassen from Dekko salon who came along to help me with the hair, doing such a great job on our Taiwanese/Mall fringe look : )
It was an ultra fun shoot, I have never done a shoot where we needed to make sure everyone looked BAD.. quite hard I must say, difficult when your models put the bad wigs on and end up looking abit hip!! Not our idea, but we got there in the end..
Thanks to all our models from the shoot for having such a great sense of humor an allowing us to make them look bad and foolish, such great sports, so thumbs up to you all : )
Seanathan Chow, Ga Wa, Mary Ann Lumba and Tamera Enriguez.
Enjoy afew backstage shots from the day. The actual article is due out mid December so I cant wait.. Woo Hoo!
Patrick and Lydia setting up, Seanathan who did double duties:

Before’s and After’s – Ga Wa and Tamera:
Fekkai – Heat Activated Wave Spray:
I find some of Frederick Fekkai’s Hair Products to be great, this one is his heat activated Wave Spray which works by misting it onto the damp hair and using a hair dryer to create a tousled, ‘beachy’ look, by shaping it with your fingers while it dries.
I didnt love this one as much as some of Fekkai’s other stuff, I found it left the hair with abit of a dry and coarse feeling afterwards, with the hair frizzing quite easily. Some of his curly hair products gave my hair a much nicer softer beachier feel than this one did. Maybe this one might work better on finer hair?
Wanted to do a special post on my very good friend Stevie. I was lucky enough to meet Stevie during his younger days at MTV Asia, dancing around the offices as a Production Assistant.
Nowadays Stevie is a major celebrity interviewer and is based in New York, Hong Kong, LA, in fact he’s all over the joint interviewing just about every celebrity who is anyone out there! Check him out on Star TV’s VIP Access on You tube interviewing everyone, very coolly too, I might add!
Stevie is also a huge reviewer of music: www.wongiesworld.blogspot.com and media: www.wongiesworld.tumblr.com so you can check out and follow his thoughts,feelings and obsessions!!
OK, so enough Stevie promotion, I chose to have Stevie on my blog because he has the worst type of Asian hair ever!! That typical type of sticky out, swirly bog brush type of hair (sorry Stevie : () So we got him into Dekko Salon and got Scott Klasssen to do his magic makeover. Stevie's hair was just abit overgrown when he came in and Scott decided to give him a short tight cute haircut that can me either stuck up or flattened down depending on what mood Stevie was in…
I think we can all agree that Stevie looks sooooo cute, its unbearable!! Thank luv’!! And thanks to Scott for fighting all those cowlicks and swirls…

Another one by Keith Carpenter for Marie Claire, I know I have already shown you afew different looks from this article but I just had to show this last one becuase the shape is so crazy and so over the top, I love it!!! I wonder how many looks you’d get walking down the street with this one!
Thanks to www.style.com and Nat, I can show you some of my favorite hairstyles from
Fashion week, taken from London, Paris and New York, love all the creative artistic looks from woven hair to colored crazy hair.
Thought I would share some of my favorites from the Paris Fashion Week, there was so much inspiration all round but for me, it was the hair from NY, London, and Paris that was most interesting, anyway here are some happening stuff from Paris,well done to all the stylists for their brilliant work. For the full feature go to NYMag.com Thanks for letting me share my thoughts. Thanks to Nat xx
Here’s some sharp short hair for Balenciaga, and Betty Page for Christian Dior.
Woven Hair for Alexander McQueen and Knots for Gareth Pugh,
And finally we have frizzy hair at Limi Feu and diagonal parts for Haider Ackermann.
TRUE OR FALSE:
Q: Is it true that you can FIX split ends?
FALSE!!
A: Split ends cannot be fixed, you can only cut them off, once they are split, they are split, although they can be masked with treatments and other products, they are still split!
So here’s Katie who came to Dekko salon with her long overgrown hair, Katie’s hair is naturally curly at the back of the head and then the front and sides are pretty straight. She wanted to have something that could could wear curly or straight.
We kept Katie’s hair on the long side but decided to cut the layers to a medium length. With the front area, we made it much more definite so that the straighter hair could form a stronger look with or without blow-drying. I always think with this type of hair, its much better to have it straight on the front areas rather than the other way round of having it straight at the back and curly at the front, which would make it very hard to control. After the cut, we blow dried the hair straight, using a straightening balm to help smooth the ends more and to hold it in place. Here’s Katie after the cut, she definitely looks alot cuter don’t you think?
Thanks alot Katie for posing for me…
Hhmmmm, combination of a guy perm, mullet and asymmetric style?? (Oh, and lets not forget the ‘tash’) What do you all think?
I’m sort of sitting on the fence on this one, mainly because I see he’s tried very hard to be different and to stand out from the crowd, which I have to give him credit for, and even with all the combinations of potential disaster, he doesn't look TOO bad!!
