L E T T E R F R O M T H E S TA F F Happy Fall Y’all! Wait… did I really just say that? Where did summer go? Is it just me or does summer fly by quicker each year? Although I am a huge fan of the summer months, I’m still a sucker for a beautiful fall season. Not much makes my heart happier than cozying up, pumpkin flavored everything, college football, and of course fall fashion! Each year, one of our most popular issues is the fall fashion and beauty showcase issue. This year we had over 90 entries submitted for hair and makeup, WOW! Congratulations to the winners and a round of applause to those not chosen. The talent that Oklahoma offers constantly impresses me. In this issue, we take you back through the years of impressive and not so impressive hairstyles. The History of Hairstyle Evolution lets you reminisce through the decades. We’re really excited to be teaming up with the Oklahoma Lottery to start bringing you some really great things. From September 7-October 12, you have

the change to enter and win a three night trip to Vegas; all you have to do is buy a $2 Poker Pick ticket! This month, we had the privilege of dining at The George atop the Founders Tower. It was an absolutely delicious dinner in an enjoyable environment with spectacular views of the city. I hope you soak up this September for all it’s worth. My piece of advice to you this month: “People need to be encouraged. People need to be reminded of how wonderful they are. People need to be believed in – told that they are brave and smart and capable of accomplishing all the dreams they dream and more. Remind each other of this.”

History of H

EVOLUTION OF HAIR TH ROUGH TH E YEARS

1920s:

1930s:

The Bob/Finger Wave

Here Come the Curls

Shorter than short was the trend. The Roaring ’20s was famous for its flapper style. Women would crop their hair between chin and ear level. The short bob would flow in uniform waves, creating the “finger wave.” This hairstyle was greatly popularized by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s wife, Zelda, which takes us back to the time of the flashy and dazzling “Great Gatsby.”

Boyish haircuts went out and length came back in. Women embraced their curves in every aspect, hair included. However, it was not typically longer than shoulder-length. Abundant sausage curls and pin curls became the norm. Top with a hat and you’d be set.

1960s:

The Bouffant and the Beehive

1980s:

Hello, hairspray! Big, bigger, biggest: the bouffant was all the rage in the ’60s. Nothing says “big hair” like the beehive. Women couldn’t get enough hairspray, as they teased their hair up into a tall domed shape.

The Perm

1970s:

The Feathered Flip (aka the Farrah Fawcett) Behold the dynamic duo: the tease and part. This look was a dramatic departure from previous decades. Unlike the tight curls, hairnets, and rolling updos, this look allowed for a more free, soft and flowing style. 12

so6ix.com | SEPTEMBER 2014

The key word here is “crimp.” Crimping irons were a staple in most homes. They were used excessively, and that goes for hairspray, too. No one will be able to forget the infamous backcombed and feathered bangs. We’re going to go ahead and name this the era of the hair fail.

Hairstyles 101 1940s:

1950s:

The Snood

The Pixie & the Poodle

What’s a snood, you ask? It’s a fashionable hairnet. By this time, some women were daringly growing their hair past their shoulders. While the men were fighting World War II, the women were picking up a lot of extra tasks on the home front. The snood was a fashionable way to keep their longer hair tied up while they worked.

Glamour and femininity took the main stage during the ’50s. Women deemed straight hair a no-no, desiring a luscious curled look. A cute and fashionable ribbon accompanied curled ponytails. Some women, like Audrey Hepburn, branched out into the fringe with a very short pixie cut. We love Lucy! Lucille Ball introduced the poodle cut.

1990s: The Rachel

Cue the “Friends” theme song. The infamous Rachel Green, played by Jennifer Aniston, rocked this ’do, and it set the world buzzing. Women all over the country walked into the beauty shop asking for the “Rachel.” This layered and bouncy hairstyle was full of highlights and lowlights.

2000s to Now: Anything Goes

This is the age of trial and error. Really, anything goes. We have the advantage of decades of hairstyle evolution and risky combinations. Just about everything has been tried. From straight-across bangs to fishtail braids, from ombre to pastel colors, from board-straight to loose beach waves: it’s all been done (or so we think!) so6ix.com | SEPTEMBER 2014

PRODUCT PICKS Mac Lipstick: Ruby Woo

Red lipstick can enhance a look to make it sophisticated, sexy or trendy—or all three, if it's the bright, matte and insanely cool Ruby Woo. It flatters all skin tones, and even better, it doesn’t transfer to teeth! This one is a keeper.

Urban Decay: 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Looking for the qualities of a liquid liner without the hassle? This eye pencil is just as dark and precise as liquid eyeliner, but goes on with complete ease. Can we get a hallelujah for no smudging!

Maybelline: NY Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Spot

Bumble and Bumble: Thickening Hairspray

Essie Nail Polish: Ballet Slippers

Stop fretting over your dark circles, and stop messing with products that leave you looking the same. Maybelline has come up with the perfect solution. Just a thin coat of this light-reflecting concealer will keep you looking ageless.

The perfect three-for-one: give your hair the hold you need with the volume you desire, plus protection from the heat and sizzle of straightening and curling irons.

Pale pink is the new black. This is the perfect color for everyday wear or an important occasion. It will also make an easy transition into upcoming fall color trends.

PUPPY OF THE MONTH

Newfoundland This puppy doesn’t stay puppy-sized for long. The Newfoundland, or “Newfie,” is a large breed of dog and a true workhorse. Newfies are masters at long-distance swimming and have lifesaving instincts. They are strong and obedient, they have great agility, and they sport a heavy coat that originally served as protection against icy waters. 24

HEALTHY LIVING WITH

Scott Do

You’re on your health journey, but of course there are going to be nights when preprepped meals or cooking at home isn’t desired or isn’t an option. When you find yourself out to eat you can still follow the ‘clean’ eating guidelines and help to make your dining experience as healthy-friendly as possible.

TIPS AND TRICKS • Always choose water for your drink, or another drink that doesn’t have added sugars. • Start your meal with a salad packed with veggies (vinaigrette dressing on the side), to help control hunger and feel satisfied sooner. • When you receive your large sized portion of an entrée, immediately ask for a to-go box and place half of the meal in the box. This is immediate portion control and gives you a second meal if you wish to eat it again. • Ask for little or not butter and oil. • Always ask whether healthy side substitutions are available. Many dishes come with French fries or mashed potatoes, instead ask for a salad, grilled veggies, or fruit. It may require little cost, but it’s worth it. • Avoid the “extras”: cocktails, appetizers, and bread.

the best of you. If you feel ill, seek professional advice. If dreams are disturbing look at what they are revealing on a deeper level. A new friendship starts after the 22nd.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22) If you can lift the illusionary veil that surrounds your relationships and see others as they really are, you may be able to avoid a disappointing, deceptive emotional experience. Matters improve after the 4th with Mercury in your Sun sign giving love a boost due to your optimistic attitude. This is a perfect time to consider a personal or business partnership. Health matters are confusing to say the least but solutions are there when the full Moon occurs on the 24th.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21) Matters are not as they appear on the surface. There is an inclination to be easily influenced and led by others, or suffer betrayal of confidence. You can experience a devitalizing time due to Saturn and Mars. You may also be too trusting, placing yourself at a professional disadvantage which can result in a financial or business loss. Don't be too open with ideas now and wait till after the 20th to give the green light on any new project.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21) During the first week of the month you may come in contact with hospitals or institutions or with people who are emotionally or mentally disturbed and will try to pawn their troubles off onto your shoulders. Avoid letting your imagination get 30

so6ix.com | SEPTEMBER 2014

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19) Travel plans need to be ironed out clearly especially if you intend to go somewhere new. Research accommodation thoroughly and budget!! Friendships will be part of your need to get out and explore the world. Loads of calls, emails and other text messages might overwhelm you so have a strategy to deal with the influx of information. The new Moon of the 24th indicates a chance for you to recommence something that was begun but not completed. A relationship perhaps?

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18) This is one of the busiest trends of your life and the full Moon of the 9th may cause undue stress especially i your financial and work spheres. Be prepared with a fall back plan. Activities are centered around frequent meetings, dealing with bosses and planning. Direct your restless mind into new channels. Banking matters are a nuisance but can't be avoided. Take a short break around the 25th.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20) An emotional bond may be formed between

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) Safeguard your health by getting regular check-ups at this time and don't over-stress yourself this month. You feel as though you have to do everything, especially around the full Moon of the 9th when others expect too much of you. The new Moon on the 24th indicates new business and financial opportunities so be quick off the mark when that turn of luck arrives.

yourself and a sibling or neighbor after the 10th but don't get too close too quickly. Do not permit your mind to dwell on past slights or what you feel was a personal affront or criticism. Self-control is your theme during September. Personal contacts with the general public will play an important role in your financial picture. You are very sensitive to what the public wants and needs especially after the new Moon of the 24th.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19) Emotional and domestic difficulties, especially where women are concerned is indicated this month. They are likely to be a source of irritation or interference with personal plans. This could result in a break-up of close emotional ties -perhaps a separation from a loved one or parent. The full Moon of the 9th activates your need to resolve emotional issues from the past while the new Moon of the 24th indicates possible new relationships forming.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20)

This could be a fun time socially, but much depends upon the effort you put forth into motivating and influencing others. They are apt to rely too much on your personal energy and expertise in the planning of social gatherings. The full Moon on the 9th means your social life is revving up considerably while the new Moon on the 24th shows that your co-workers expect more of you in terms of input.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20) There is an emotional pull between family responsibilities and career interests. You may have to find a way in which to blend the two areas together. This will be are evident between the 18th and 24 when the Moon is full. Changes are likely to affect your immediate personal relationships, through the possibility of moving or travelling. Expect a change in relationships after the new Moon of the 24th.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22) Mental or physical activity is pronounced now. There is a desire to expand your mind through new studies, writing, lecturing, or exchange of ideas. You're physically active and may take an interest in new sports such as golf, bowling, racquetball, walking, or jogging but take care as you are also prone to injury. Situations will develop that will take you into many diversified directions at the time of new Moon on the 24th.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22) The full Moon on the 9th requires a quick and decisive response on your finances. You may be extremely sensitive this month and confusion over money matters of any kind can create a difficult ego problem. This is not the time to push career matters or enter into new undertakings either. Nor is it suitable for asking favors of others in general, either a parent or boss. The new Moon of the 24th is a better omen for improvement in your affairs and things moving forward again. so6ix.com | SEPTEMBER 2014

EATS Walking into this place [The George] brings with it such a feeling of nostalgia. The top floor of the Founders Tower has been a staple of Oklahoma City for over 60 years and so many Oklahomans have great memories of this place. Sitting vacant for the last decade, Mr. Kevin George seized the opportunity to open up a great restaurant atop the tower once again. Listening to Mr. George describe his fantastic restaurant is inspiring as you can hear his pride and excitement about it. Sparring no expense, he has fully updated it with beautiful decor all throughout, and accentuates the beautiful views of the city during the top floor dining experience. Bringing in Executive Chef Joshua Valentine, famous for his time on the Bravo TV show Top Chef, Valentine has created a truly unique and artistic Prime restaurant. Sitting down with Chef Valentine, he explained his complete love for this food and being able to be surrounded by the top of the notch ingredients that he loves to work with. His personal favorites at the restaurants are a toss up between the dry aged ribeye steak or the chicken dish. Each dish is intricate and beautifully presented, matched by unique and delicious flavors. Also, The George proudly offers the delights of a New York Pastry Chef, Chef Shelby Sieg, who is definitely an artist as well and brings desserts unlike any found in the city. Be sure to try several of her amazing creations on the dessert menu. Here is what we tasted at The George:

Appetizers Crab Cakes- Fennel Aoli, Radish, Nasturtium Heirloom Tomato Salad- Heirloom Tomatoes, Smoked Tomato Sorbet, Basil Beet Salad- Burnt Leek Yogurt, Citrus, Radish, Wild Greens Foie Gras- Pickled Plums, Pistachios, Brioche

Entrees 10oz Prime Filet- cooked medium and seasoned with salt and pepper. Roasted Natural Chicken Breast- Potato Puree, Wild Mushrooms, Hen Glace

Located in the heart of the University of Oklahoma’s Campus Corner, Victoria’s is a go-to restaurant for Norman locals and students alike.

SELA TAYLOR Hairstylist at Cameo Salon & Spa

Meet Sela! This beauty is making her way up in the hair world quickly ever since she began her hair journey back in 2009. Sela started school at the University of Oklahoma and quickly realized she wasn’t following her true passion no matter how big of a Sooner fan she has been her whole life. She soon enrolled in Duncan Brothers School of Hair Design where she excelled past her classmates quickly and started practicing cuts, colors, and styles in 2010. She found her salon home at Cameo Salon and Spa off of Western and NW 50th. Sela doesn’t necessarily have a favorite focus in the hair world. She simply loves doing it all. Her favorite part of her job is being able to help the appearance of her clients, which in turn can help create many positive life changes. As a hairstylist, it’s important to Sela that she connects with her clients, and she really enjoys getting to interact with them on a daily basis. One piece of advice Sela has for readers, is to keep up with what’s new, what’s different, and constantly find and accept change for your hair. Mix it up, keep it interesting; for some people that is hard, but Sela can put you at ease and help with stylish and creative changes. When not doing hair, Sela immerses herself into art. Painting, drawing, creating, building, and coloring are just among a few of the art activities you can find her doing. She’s creative at heart, but her true heart lies with her family. Sela spends all the time she can with her family and two sisters. She is such a foodie. She loves trying new places and cooking up delicious recipes for friends and family. For your hair needs, visit Sela at Cameo Salon & Spa! Phone: 405-990-8317. 60

STEVE SCHARDEIN Owner & Hairstylist of Schardein’s

Meet Steve Schardein! This mastermind of everything hair got his start back in 1976. He had been going to college and went to a hairdresser here in the city that tried to convince Steve of becoming a hairstylist. Reluctant at first, Steve walked into college the morning that semester started and boldly un-enrolled and began his hair journey from that day forward. Over the years, Steve has been able to really connect to his clients and people that come to see him. He takes joy in being able to interact with the clients, aid in enhancing their look, and truly helping them. For Steve it’s not just solely about the clients, but his stylists as well. Throughout the years he’s seen many young girls struggling in the hair world and knew he had to make a difference. Schardein’s is completely employee based, not booth rental like most typical salons. Schardein’s ultimate goal is for each of his stylists to have a custom home, brand new car, have families, and time off to spend with their loved ones. Everyone at Schardein’s starts at the shampoo wall, bathrooms, and towels and eventually works their way up. This growing salon is now at an astonishing 30 stylists and 50 employees! There are future plans for more Schardein’s coming near you and around the United States – stay tuned! When not busy with hair, Steve is an endurance athlete that can be found bicycling or snow skiing among just a few things. Steve is also a grandfather to his precious grandbabies! He is constantly trying to evolve and grow the salon while staying up to date with the newest techniques, styles, products, etc. He attends hair business classes all over the country and world. He was just recently invited amongst only eight other Americans to a class in Shanghai where he was able to bring the newest education back to his stylists. Schardein’s has been recognized for many awards over the years and most recently was named top five salon designs of the year out of all of the salons in the country. Go Schardein’s! They put in the effort to give people the best service, styles, and newest looks. It’s truly a unique salon experience. Visit them today on N. May and Britton Rd. so6ix.com | SEPTEMBER 2014
