BOSTON AND EASTON, MA...Massachusetts salon owner and internationally recognized

Blum shared tips of what's hot for fall, "Hair color will be sporty and natural looking with

glosses and glazes leading the way. Nails will be natural looking and gel nails and gel

polishes will be hot. Body care will be organic and very moisturizing."

According to Blum, "We're really going to see a turn towards the natural and organic this

fall and it will be reflected in hair style, make-up and spa treatments."
