972-731-7600

Inspired by a woman who mentored her, Amy Kott Hovland believes that a talent that is not shared is not truly a talent. As creative director at Von Anthony Salon, she has a strong focus on continued training and resource support for her stylists.

She has recently hired Leigh Vest to mentor and train. In fact, Leigh is currently in training for cuts and chemical work. As Amy's assistant, she helps mix color and preps her clients and observes. She also shampoos applies treatments on our clients.

"I've learned a countless amount of things from Amy! Not only information about hair, but life skills that are going to help me be successful in life. She certainly knows what she's doing and is amazing at everything she does. I definitely look up to Amy and try to soak in everything she says and does. "

Leigh loves the beauty industry. "I love making people beautiful and them feeling better about themselves and their appearance."

In fact, Leigh shares, "I did the whole football teams hair and all of my friend's cut/color. The night before graduation 15 guys came over to all get their hair cut. My clippers got so hot from being on too long that it burned my hand."

I have a client who also has fine hair and she said she felt a difference for a month. The integrity of your hair is the most important thing! We have clients who are growing their hair out so doing treatments helps to protect their hair from daily wear and tear. Also frizz is a huge problem for clients but the Kerastase Treatments can control it!"

Rachel Schwartz - "When I have used the shine and moisture treatments on my hair, it leaves my hair feeling soft and helps my color shine. Clients love the treatments and can feel a difference. It's good to keep up with them to keep hair healthy."

Kristie Betlejewski: "I like to use pixelist on clients that have just had color. Even if their hair is healthy it adds a lot of shine and helps keep that color locked in. It's a good way to protect their investment in the high quality color that they love."

Amy's Tips: How to Make Your Hair Color Last

Haircolor is designed to last 4-6 weeks.

If this is too often for you, choose a color that is close to your natural one, not a shade thats a lot lighter or darker Your new growth won't show as much.

There is one key to keeping your color looking fresh and that is to keep the cuticle layer of your hair closed.

Heat is a big culprit, hot temps from the environment your water temp and blow drying.

So make sure to use the right shampoo/conditioner and a styling aid that offers heat protection and even uv.

If you use the right products you may not experience those awful unwanted warm tones.

Bouffants Are Back! Tips for achieving volume for this daring and fashion forward style

One of the hottest trends for Fall 2010 are Bouffants!

The bouffant, the piled-high hairstyle popularized in the late '50s and early '60s, is back!

Here are some tips from Amy Kott Hovland, Owner of Von Anthony Salon for achieving volume for this daring and fashion forward style.

1. Use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner

2. Apply a volumizing gel mousse or spray at the root area of damp hair. If applied when hair is really wet it will dilute the product.

3. Dry hair by flipping your hair upside down and use your fingers or a vented brush to direct hair away from its natural growth pattern

4. Tease hair in crown area in 2 inch sections and work downward. Hold hair up straight by the ends and then place a small bristle brush at the ends and drag the hair down to the roots and away. Repeat until you create a 3 inch base. Gently brush the hair on top to mask the teasing. This technique can also be used by first putting hair into a ponytail as well.

5. Curling hair also helps with volume. Lift and direct sections of hair towards the mirror then curl hair away. This creates a lot of lift at the scalp area.

6. Adding clip in hair extensions is also an option.
