   The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022
   
   
   THE COZIEST WINTER NAIL COLORS FOR JANUARY 2022
   
   The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh
   by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most
   commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going
   into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy
   winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little
   courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie
   Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From
   new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll
   have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to
   try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

   16 KITCHEN DESIGN TRENDS SOUTHERN DESIGNERS PREDICT WILL BE EVERYWHERE IN
   2022
   
   There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including
   how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating
   the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics
   and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized
   spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box
   stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain
   issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room
   in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the
   South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022
   and beyond.

Here's How to *Actually* Keep Your New Year's Resolution This Year

The relationship we have with our hair stylist is not unlike those we have with
our closest confidants, significant others, or the girl who waxes our eyebrows.
Three things are important: trust, communication, and honesty. These are the
pillars of any healthy relationship.





But even if your hair stylist is basically a long-lost bestie, sometimes sitting
down in the salon chair can be daunting when you’re not totally sure how to ask
for the haircut you want. What exactly is a lob? How can I look like Julia
Roberts (circa Eat, Pray, Love—not Pretty Woman)? Is my forehead too much of a
fivehead for wispy bangs? These are the questions that cause us major upper lip
sweat in the salon chair.  



To clear up the confusion, we talked with Ricardo Dinis, Aveda’s Global Artistic
Director for haircutting, to get his best tips for asking for the right haircut
and avoiding the wrong haircut—and shocker, it all comes down to communication.
“As a general piece of advice, always sit in the chair of the person who asks
the most questions. Experts ask questions,” he says. *goosebumps*





Here are five things to know before going to the salon. 


KEEP YOUR EXPECTATIONS REALISTIC. 

You might love Blake Lively’s beach waves or Halle Berry’s pixie cut, but your
hair type and texture might not. Make sure to consider your hair’s features when
choosing inspiration. 



“The biggest mistake is not being open and honest about your expectations. Be
realistic. People often expect to look like a celebrity and if that doesn’t work
out, they’re disappointed. This doesn’t mean it cannot be achieved, clients just
need to be realistic with what works best for them and their hair,” Dinis says. 


DON’T GIVE YOUR TRUST TO JUST ANYBODY. 

This works equally on first dates and salon trips. Every time you show up
unprepared, you’re taking a risk that you won’t get the haircut you actually
want—or worse, you’ll end up stuck with something totally different (hello, baby
bangs). This is particularly important if you’ve recently started seeing a new
hair stylist. 



“Another mistake many clients make is giving too much trust to a hairdresser you
don’t have an established relationship with yet. The person working on your hair
doesn’t know you yet, so they cannot assess what is best for you, especially if
you’re making a big change,” he adds.


PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES. 

This should be a given, but plenty of clients forget to research inspiration
pictures. (Pinterest is a treasure trove of lobs and bobs and bangs galore.)
Hair stylists are visual people, and a picture makes sure nothing is getting
lost in your communication. What you’re imagining and what your stylist is
imagining from what you’re saying doesn’t always match up.



Dinis agrees: “Bring in pictures! I personally love when clients bring in
inspiration, with the exception that they do not have the same hair type and
texture as the person in the photo. Hair is like snowflakes, each head is
individual and different. Even if it looks the same, there are always
differences, whether that be in density, texture, face shape, or head shape.”




BE OPEN TO COMPROMISE. 

This could be filed under the above “realistic expectations,” but keep it in
mind when asking your stylist’s opinion on the haircut you want. He or she knows
what will work best and make the most of your natural hair, be it through
length, texture, or density. This is especially important when you’re not
exactly sure what you want (which is us, always, about pretty much everything). 



“When a client is unclear on what they want, I talk them through it, reiterate
what I’m hearing, and confirm it,” Dinis says. “But I trust my clients’ likes.
If they feel confident wearing a bang or wearing short hair, I will support my
client in any way I can. At the end of the day, they know themselves better than
we do.” 




DON’T USE PROFESSIONAL SALON TERMS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN. 

Using the wrong terms can sabotage you; getting the haircut you want comes down
to communication, and this only clouds it. Bring in pictures, describe your
ideal length, and go from there. 

“Clients often create or rename things, when there are actually only three
haircutting techniques: one-length, graduating, and layering,” notes Dinis.
“People often invent names and ways of texturizing or styling hair, which can
add to the confusion.”
