Temperatures may be falling but style is on the rise…I enjoy the leaves changing colors, long walks in the cooler, crisp air and the chance to reinvent your style. Think deeper tones, riches hues and a touch more structure.

It is important to give your hair the chance to recover from the long hot days of summer---try a Styling Therapy brush for a little self prescribed healing and see big results in terms of style. Your hair will never look better which is especially important since the summer sun can be drying.

Whether you pull your hair up in a loose ColourCollection claw clip for work or pull it off your face with a StayPut elastic for working out, enjoy restoring and rejuvenating your hair as you go from day to night.

Don't fight your natural style and texture, go with it. Add an accessory and throw your hair up for a more polished sophisticated look. Comb through a deep conditioner with the Ouchless shower comb.

My bag of tools this fall includes a Jojoba Styling Therapy Add Shine brush, a handful of Ouchless bobbies for pinning hair up with ease, a ColourCollection claw clip that compliments your hair color and a couple of accessories to accent the perfect fall outfit.

While Labor Day may have come and gone, fall is one of my favorite times of year so get ready to go out and get noticed.

Jim is a New York based hair stylist with over 20 years of experience. During the past two decades, Jim has perfected his craft with a particular emphasis on celebrity, fashion, editorial and television work.

Jim began his career as a platform hair stylist working with celebrities and models, while training at Harkness Boces Center, a beauty school in Buffalo, New York. After graduating from cosmetology school, Jim worked for Hair Cutters & Such in Amherst, New York for 5 ½ years. During that time he met Garren, one of the top 5 hairdressers in the world and joined the American Hairdressers and Cosmetologists Association. With Garren as his mentor, Jim spent 2 years of intense training at the Association, where he earned his Certificate as an Educator for New York State, with emphasis on platform work and seminars. As a speaker and teacher at seminars around the world, Jim educated licensed hairdressers, makeup artists and cosmetologists on the newest trends.

In 1987, Jim joined his mentor, Garren, at the Garren Agency. Since then, his philosophy for working has been to take someone's hair and make it his or her vision of beauty. He believes that beauty is not something purely external, but is rather something innately internal. According to Jim, he is "a vehicle for helping a client find their ultimate vision of themselves."

After 18 years at Garren Agency, Jim joined Contact Agency in 2002. His clientele includes the likes of Cindy Crawford, Gisele Bundchen, Helen Hunt, Anna Paquin, Carla Gugino, Cynthia Nixon, Constance Marie, Peri Gilpin, Faith Ford, Michelle Williams, Hilary Clinton, Julianne Moore, Carmen Electra, and Halle Berry.

Today, Jim Crawford is also a freelance hair care spokesperson, on-air presentation host for new trends on Women's Day TV, TBS's Movie and A Makeover, Life and Style TV and a guest speaker for the Today Show's Brilliant Buys. In addition, he is a key public presentation artist responsible for educating editorial beauty editors in New York City on current trends in hair. Jim is also regularly featured as a beauty expert in major fashion and beauty magazines from Allure and Harper's Bazaar to Family Circle.
