Make Yourself the “Mane” Mon

BELLA asked stylists at New York City's Federico Salon for advice on how a new hairstyle can help moms rediscover their sense of self...

"Change up your look when your child remarks on your greys or even tells you that you look old... to a child these are obvious facts, but some women will ignore truth. Use their honest words to empower you to reinvent yourself!"
~Jose

"Leave the kids home with Dad or a babysitter for a day and make yourself a priority once in awhile! Enjoy some luxurious pampering and a new hairdo. Whether going for a bold new look or just some routine maintenance, the styling experience, along with the relaxation that goes with it, can bring any stressed mom back to life and put that sparkle back in her eye!"
~Federico

"Make some time for you! A new hairstyle, such as an edgy cut or a rich, vibrant new color, can give a busy mom a sense of 'beautiful self' once again."
~Bianca

"When was the last time you put yourself before work or family? When was the last time you applied make-up or styled your hair and slipped on some high-heeled Italian shoes? If it's been awhile, it's time for a hair appointment!"
~Massimo

"Be inspired by other moms whose looks you admire, and reminisce about younger pictures of yourself from a time when you were confident about your hair. (Most likely that's when you used to go to the salon regularly!) While you're still working on losing those 10 pounds, go ahead and do something fun with your hair to make yourself happy."
