TROY —A new trend inhair color has finallyreached the Midwest. It’scalled ombre color, andyou’ve most likely seen iton young movie stars andmodels, read about it inmagazines or seen photosof it on the Internet. SalonInspired stylists havelearned how to do ombrecolor straight from the cre-ator of it, and is now offer-ing this Hollywood look attheir downtown Troy salon.

Ombre (pictured onfront cover) is a way ofhighlighting hair so it’sdarker at the scalp andgets lighter toward theends. Inpiration for thestyle comes from watchinghow children’s hairchanges in the sunlight,because it changes morethan adults’ hair.

“It mimics the sun as ifyou had been at thebeach,” said Salon Inspiredowner Michelle Schulze.

Schulze and two of herstylists, Cheri Jessup andAmy Dibling, traveled toNew York City in June totake a hands-on workshoplead by George Papaniko-las, the celebrity stylistwhose client list includesMila Kunis, Emma Stoneand Britney Spears.

“George started theombre trend in Hollywood.He’s a big deal in ourworld,” Schulze said. “Thetrend is finally coming tothe Midwest. It’s been inL.A. for five or six yearsnow.”

Ombre hair color workswell on any hair color,whether it’s natural or not,Schulze said. It lends itselfbetter to longer hairstyles,because you see more ofthe effect it creates.

“It’s a great way to adda pop of color to almost any

longer hair style,” she said.Schulze especially rec-

ommends ombre to anyonewho wants a low mainte-nance color. With tradi-tional highlights, darkroots will show as the hairgrows out and will need tobe colored again. Becauseombre color starts fartheraway from the scalp, rootsaren’t a problem as thehair grows.

“We’ve had more andmore people request it, andwe’ve been prescribing it tomore people because it’slow maintenance,” Schulzesaid.

Since taking the work-shop in June, the stylistshave been perfecting theirskill and are now offeringthe treatment to clients.

“It’s a different tech-nique than regular high-lights. You actually paintthe lightener on the hair.Sometimes it uses foil,sometimes not. It dependson how dramatic you wantit,” Schulze said.

Lightener is put on bybarely brushing it on nearthe scalp and then loadingit on at the ends. Schulzehighly recommends gettingombre done at a profes-sional salon, instead ofdoing it yourself at home.

“It’s a tricky technique

to learn, but we got somegreat insights fromGeorge,” she said.

Salon Inspired strivesto send stylists to at leastone big tailored class suchas this one each year.

“Education is a big partof salon culture,” Schulzesaid. “Every time someonesits in my chair, they’re in-vesting in me, so it’s impor-tant that we invest ineducation. Our clients de-serve it.”

In addition to takingclasses in new trends,Salon Inspired does sev-eral things for local organi-zations. Just this year thesalon has raised more than$4,000 for the Troy BandBoosters and Troy cheer-leading organization. Itraised funds for the Troyfamily abuse shelter and iscurrently selling tickets fora raffle basket to raisefunds for Rachel Stump, ayoung Troy woman who

was injured in an accident.It also has donated a vari-ety of gift certificates tolocal groups.

Every year, Salon In-spired does a holiday drive.In 2011, it partnered withBlue Star Mothers Chap-

ter 3 to send care packagesto military troops and vet-erans. This year, the salonis teaming with Partnersin Hope Holiday Drive tocollect new toys, games,DVDs and more for localchildren up to age 12, aswell as small diapers andnewborn items.

Collection for thoseitems will begin in late Oc-tober and run through theend of November. Anyonecoming to Salon Inspiredand making a donationwill have their name en-tered into a drawing forsalon products or gift cer-tificates.

From Dec. 1 throughJan. 1, the salon will col-lect donations for FranklinHouse, a family abuseshelter in Troy. Itemsneeded include toiletries,baby diapers, new twin-size sheets and bedding,shoes and clothing. All whodonate will be entered intoa drawing for a Salon In-spired prize.

Mention the Salon In-spired ad in iN75 to re-ceive $10 off ombre haircolor. For more informa-tion, call Salon Inspired at(937) 440-0405 or visitwww.saloninspired.com.

pizza in an Active Daytonpoll last month, Marion’sCEO Roger Glass countedup how many times thelocal pizza joint has beenwon similar awards. Sinceits first best pizza prizefrom the Dayton JournalHerald in August 1980 tothis September’s win, Mar-ion’s has been voted bestpizza 32 times.That’s 32 awards in 32

years.“As a company, it’s very

gratifying to have our cus-tomers vote us, in thesepolls, No. 1,” Glass said.“When you look at the polland you see you’re up on

top and then you finallywin the poll or survey, it’sjust a nice feeling to knowthat we’re doing somethingright and our pizza mustbe good if we keep winningthese things.”Multiple Best pizza

awards have been handedto Marion’s Piazza fromDayton Daily News TheMagazine, Dayton Maga-

zine, Dayton Daily News,University of Dayton FlyerNews, Reach Magazine,Dayton Monthly Magazine,The Dayton Voice, ImpactWeekly Newspaper, MadRiver Region’s Business,Greene County Dailies,Dayton Daily News Go!Section, Dayton BusinessJournal and Dayton DailyNews Active Dayton.Marion’s Troy location

even won the reader pollfor best pizza in the TroyDaily News and PiquaDaily Call after only beingopen in Troy for a fewmonths.“It was so gratifying to

win that because we’re thenew guys in the neighbor-hood,” Glass said about theTroy restaurant’s success.“We were very surprisedwhen we were told we won

the poll up here. The re-sponse to that store hasbeen overwhelming.”Marion’s also was

ranked No. 2 of all inde-pendent pizza shops in thenation by Pizza TodayMagazine in October 2011.While it was a great honor,it’s the local titles Glass re-ally covets.“The magazine is a na-

tional magazine and it’snice to be ranked second inthe nation of independentpizza shops, but the localawards mean so much moreto us because these are ourcustomers that are actuallyvoting,” Glass said.In Active Dayton’s Sep-

tember poll alone, Marion’swas up against 43 otherlocal pizza houses.Customer’s who’ve

feasted on a square-cut,

thin-crust pie recently mayhave noticed a big changewhen paying for theirgrub. Marion’s now acceptscredit cards at all it’s loca-tions, something it neverdid before because whychange what’s working foryou?“This is a big change for

us because after 47 years,we’ve decided to come intothe 21st century,” Glasssaid. “We finally caved toour customers’ pressures.We really listen to our cus-tomers and make sure weare doing everything wecan to make sure their ex-perience at Marion’s is apleasant one,” Glass said.Get a taste of the best

pizza in town at 1270 Ex-periment Farm Road inTroy, or call the local Mar-ion’s at (937) 339-2000.

Max Lucado’s New Book“GRACE”


Opening Friday

‘Frankenweenie’After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor har-

nesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life withjust a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn cre-ation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers andthe entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous. A stop-motion animated film,“Frankenweenie” will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic styleto a whole new experience. (Disney)

Starring (voices): Charlie Tahan,Winona Ryder, Martin Landau, Catherine O’Hara, Martin ShortGenre, rating: Science fiction/comedy, PG

‘Pitch Perfect’Beca is that girl who’d rather listen to what’s coming out of her headphones than what’s coming out of you.

Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that shenever would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in com-mon is how good they sound when they sing together.When Beca takes this singing group out of their world of tra-ditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of thecutthroat world of college a cappella. This could wind up either the coolest thing they’ll ever do or the most insane,and it will probably be a little of both. (Universal)

Starring: Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Rebel Wilson, Christopher Mintz-PlasseGenre, rating: Musical/comedy, PG-13

‘Here Comes the Boom’Former collegiate wrestler Scott Voss is a 42-year-old apathetic biology teacher in a fail-

ing high school. When cutbacks threaten to cancel the music program and lay off its teacher,Scott begins to raise money by moonlighting as a mixed martial arts fighter. Everyone thinksScott is crazy — most of all the school nurse, Bella — but in his quest, Scott gains somethinghe never expected as he becomes a sensation that rallies the entire school.

Starring: Kevin James, Henry Winkler, Salma Hayek, Greg GermannGenre, rating: Action/comedy, PG

‘Argo’Based on true events, “Argo” chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Ameri-

cans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis — the truth of which was un-known by the public for decades. On Nov. 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boilingpoint, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midstof the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian am-bassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA“exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out ofthe country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies. (Warner Bros.)

Starring: Ben Affleck, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, Bryan Cranston, Taylor SchillingGenre, rating: Suspense/drama, R

‘Sinister’Sinister is a frightening new thriller from the producer of the “Paranormal Activity” films and the writer-direc-

tor of “The Exorcism of Emily Rose.” A true crime novelist discovers a box of mysterious, disturbing home moviesthat plunge his family into a nightmarish experience of supernatural horror. (Summit)

Starring: Ethan Hawke, James Ransone, Vincent D’OnofrioGenre, rating: Horror, R

Home and Away with Dana WolfeChanging colors make for a beautiful Ohio drive


I believe this is going tobe a good year for the fallfoliage, already the leavesare starting to change intotheir beautiful bright col-ors. Mark and I recentlytook a trip to Asheville,N.C., and as we were cross-ing over the mountains,you could tell that this isgoing to be a great year forsightseeing travel in themountains.Our first stop was in

Gatlinburg, Tenn., to havedinner at one of our fa-vorite places, Bennett’s PitBar-B-Que, a family-ownedestablishment that startedin 1991 and has been oneof our favorite places to goto get a good dinner inGatlinburg. They offerpulled pork, beef and

chicken with sauces thatare homemade and verypopular in the area.With a quick walk

around town and a drivethrough the mountains, wewere off to Asheville, N.C.It is about a two-hourdrive from Gatlinburg, andif you have never been tothis beautiful city, youneed to put in on your top10 places to visit.Local musicians per-

form on every corner, andthe many restaurants allhave very different foodchoices. Shopping is out ofthis world, again mostlylocal. The leaves here werejust starting to turn yellow,which made the mountainside look like it was alwaysshining.I just can’t go to

Asheville without makinga stop at the ChocolateFetish, home of America’sbest chocolate truffles. Thecandy store opened in 1986and has been winningawards for its fine choco-late ever since. Bill andSue Foley, owners of theChocolate Fetish, said theymake their candy in smallbatches to assure thattheir product is alwaysfresh. My favorites are thechocolate-dipped peachesand orange peels. If youhead down that way, makethis a definite stop.While it’s always hard

to leave a weekend get-away, we were shocked athow different it lookedhere on the way back. Ourtrees, hills and valleys areon their way to showing offtheir fall colors. I thinkpeople fail to realize howbeautiful Ohio is until youdrive here in the fallmonths. Take a drive andenjoy all the fall beauty

around us, and don’t forgetapple cider!Happy cooking! Email
