RUN AWAY WITH ME!!!

With the new film, based on the story about the all girl punk rock band The Runaways, I can't help but notice the punk craze surrounding our neighborhoods. So, for this piece our salon team researched the infamous band, the music...and the look! Fashionably speaking anyone can accomplish a "punky" look by wearing any t-shirt (loose fit, tight fit, flat color or printed, V-neck, scoop or cut-off if you feel like being truer to the genre). Wear the t-shirt with cool skinny jeans and sneakers and you're set! Now, the hair and make-up does not look that simple to accomplish...But it can be!


For those who dare...Joan Jett's 80's punk rock bangs. Start by getting a shag haircut at the salon, and after the bangs start growing out you can trim your bangs by just chopping small pieces of them. The beauty of it, is that they don't have to look perfectly straight! Of course if you want to simplify your life, just come by the salon and we'll trim those for you. Style the bangs with a straightening iron and keep the style by adding a molding product such as Oribe's Creme for Style. For extra shine and lustrous color get a gloss/glaze in a shade darker of your own hair color.
You can play with different tones and shades to create a radical, fun look; and if you are on the blonder side, try going for a golden blonde look like Cherie Currie's hot platinum hair with lot's of hi-lights.


To help you rock the complete Runaway look, Emma has put together step-by-step tips on how to recreate the make up from the movie with a more modern twist (Oh yeah, we got into it!) Kristin Stewart's look (originally rocked by Joan Jett) can be done by applying some navy blue and/or sapphire eyeshadow to eye lids creating the very popular "smokey eye". By using blue eyeshadow instead of plain black, you are giving a more colorful, fun feel, but still accomplishes the darkness needed to get the punk look right. Finish by applying black eye liner to the inside of the bottom water lines, to deepen the eyes and put on some black mascara. For the lips, a nude, pale opaque lip gloss will do the trick. Try Armour lip gloss in Eddie! Dakota Fanning's look demonstrates an edgier, yet girlier look. Use silver eyeshadow all over the top lids and layer them up with some dark gray eyeshadow on the outer crease, kind off going for the smokey eye again. Line the top and bottom of your eyes with eye liner connecting both lines to create a cat eye. Finish by applying a hot pink, or should we say Cherry Bomb lip gloss. You can try Armour lip gloss in Cat Club!
