Julien Farel Salon, Miami + Sony US Open 2014

\

Getting my nails and hair done at the JULIEN FAREL Miami Pop Up for the
Sony Open.
Thank you Gwen & Jennifer!

Toured the backstage area at the Sony Open on Thursday evening.  I got a taste of what it's like to be treated like a pro tennis star at the Julien Farel pop up.  Julien Farel has a salon in Miami (downtown), but for the Sony Open, they packed up their flat irons and transported their hair styling magic to Key Biscayne.

Betsy, the salon co-owner, gave me a perfect sorbet colored mani using Essie polish, while Jennifer curled my hair.

JF is also home to the Godiva haircut, and a braid bar that can take you from a boring midday style to an easy nighttime updo, and a line of great hair products created by the salon's founder.

Florals are once again, big for Spring and Summer.  I do florals in doses.  I'm picky about the pattern - the flower print has to be large.  I love the color palette on this skirt because believe it or not, it's really easy to wear.  It goes with everything.  Because this was an outfit I wore to work, I toned it down by wearing a neutral tie neck blouse.

A tie neck blouse is another way to spruce up your work wardrobe.  Layered underneath a blazer, these blouses look sophisticated.  I prefer tying the bow loosly, so that it hangs and drapes, rather than tightly tying a knot or bow.

Disclaimer: JF has not sponsored this post.  I genuinely like their services. The staff is the friendliest of any salon I've visited in the Miami area - that goes a long way with me.
