TEXT ME

They say texting is the wave of the future. Okay, fine, so I'm exaggerating a bit perhaps. They say technology is the wave of the future, but in all fairness, texting is a major part of that technology. Well at least a major part of cell phone technology, which in its own right is a pretty big deal. Maybe now would be the time to get to my point.

There's nothing that screams "hey eighties!" or "nice acid washed jeans Zach Morris!" or just "ew" more than crunchy hair. Add to that delicious crunch the "wet look" and you're solid gold. A Solid Gold dancer that is, you just need your leotard. My point? Ditch it. Quick.

I see way too many guys (and no, girls, you're not off the hook here) with spiked up, or wavy, or I-can't even-find-words-sick-enough-to-describe-it hair like I just described. Your LA Look Gel just isn't cutting it any more, capiche?

Lucky you! T'eez has just introduced your saving grace...in an adorable little jar!

Welcome to the digital age. Edgy urban style is a flick of the wrist away with this wax/cream hybrid that'll leave your hair textured, not wet, and have your strands screaming "Text me!"

So, pretty much, you have no excuse (unless you're under the age of 12 and still experimenting, in costume or drag, do everything in your power to refute the norm, or just what looks good, in which case you're not very original at all, just like, emo or something, or can come up with another excuse that will work with me...)

Top 5 celeb meltdowns of 2007

Face it…none of us can resist the allure of watching a celeb trainwreck in action…it’s addictive (almost more so than those little eggnog cocktails we’ll all soon be sipping!) Here’s our list of the best (or shall we say worst!) celebrity meltdowns of 2007.

5. Owen Wilson- After being hospitalized in August, reports of an attempted suicide surfaced post-Kate Hudson split. We hope Owen’s heart and mind are healed up soon…we need him to make us laugh after all that “family time” this holiday season!

4. David Hasselhoff-It’s bad enough when you mix sloppy burgers with intoxication, but the ‘Hoff takes it to the next level in his infinitely popular YouTube video meltdown taken by his poor daughter who somehow witnessed the whole thing without vomiting. This little treasure brought to light the secret the “Bay Watch” alum and popular (in OTHER countries) singer had been hiding for far too long.

3. Paris Hilton- We can only imagine Paris’ mighty list of New Year’s resolutions for 2008…maybe actually going on her relief work trip she mysteriously cancelled? Finishing her memoir recalling her (too?) brief stint in the big house? Making a sequel to “One Night in Paris?” Okay, we admit it, we crossed the line.

2. Lindsey Lohan-Time for a Bridget Jones-esque year-in-review summary. Number of DUI’s: 2. Number of stints in rehab: 2. Number of pantyless crotch-shots, nipple-slips and irreversible damage to reputation: We lost count ages ago. Freshly out of rehab, we hope LiLo gets her life back on track pronto. And while we’re at it, we wish the same for her mom, dad and little sister (who needs all the help she can get at this point!)

1. Britney Spears- I’m sure this comes as little surprise to you, from her highly publicized custody battle to her shiny cue-ball make-under, the still-reigning queen of pop (that’s right, her songs are STILL topping the charts!) is still trying to come back from her MTV “comeback.” Will she get her act together in 2008 or will she take after her song “Oops! I Did it Again?”

The Fuss About Specialization

Finally, it's here! Omaha actually has a specialized salon, so why aren't YOU celebrating? What's that? You don't even know what specialization is, what it means to be specialized? Well that just won't do! How can you have the most amazing hair in Omaha (not that you can really compete with me) when you don't even have a clue about how cool the concept of specialization is and how great it will be for your mane?

Let me break it down for you. The idea for T'eez Specialization is based on the idea of going with one's strengths.We are very excited to be the first salon in Omaha to be fully specialized for many reasons. We feel that this is the next step in our evolution to give our valued clients the best of what we have to offer. The idea of going with the individual strengths of each stylist is based on the Gallup Organization’s Strengthsfinder and book, Now, Discover Your Strengths.

We feel the best thing we can do is encourage focusing on the area in which the stylist naturally excels. According to Strengthsfinder…

“When you see a strength in action, you see a person’s ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance in a specific activity. When you see him or her perform that activity, you think, ‘She makes it look so easy!’ or ‘He’s a natural!’

How can that be? How can they so consistently perform with such excellence? The answer is simple: It is easy for her. He is a natural.

Each is performing at such a high level simply by building upon how he or she most naturally thinks, feels and behaves: their greatest talents.”

If YOU had the choice of having two EXPERTS work on your hair vs. one person that could do both pretty well, what would you pick? Would you rather have a general physician work on your rare heart condition, or a heart specialist? Hey, this may be life or death, but it is your hair, which you wear every day, and that is a pretty big deal. So pop the cork on the bubbly baby, and shout it from the mountaintops! Specialization has arrived, and along with it the wave of the future in what Omaha and T'eez Salon has to offer for hair!
