If you're looking to switch up your hair color but can't decide between Balayage or Ombre because, well, you don't know the difference - don't worry. You're not alone!
Balayage is a French technique for highlighting the hair in which the dye is painted to create a natural-looking effect. The goal is to create soft, subtle highlights that make your hair look like it's been kissed by the sun.
While Balayage is the technique of painting the hair, Ombre focuses on the style of the hair. It is the transition from a lighter shade to a darker shade. Typically, Ombres work best for brunettes, but the style can is suitable for blondes too. To achieve the effect of an Ombre, there must be a smooth transition between colors. While the Ombre is a beautiful look, you'll need to work with a professional to get the best results.
Luckily, we offer both Ombre and Balayage in Summerville, SC! Short on time? Busy schedule? Only available on weekends?

Music, guided tours and an appetizing spread were all part of the package during the Summerville-Dorchester Museum’s 30th anniversary function on Feb. 5, as featured attraction Dr. Ed West held court to introduce a new softcover publication and delve into the people of “off.”
In leading up to his presentation of a new release titled “When The President Circled Summerville,” West entertained a gathered audience in the museum courtyard with accounts of some of Summerville’s founding and/or influential residents from days gone by who weren’t necessarily natives of the community.
Through the years, these individuals — much like many present-day out-of-towners — were referred to as the people of “off,” per the historian.
“The people who came here and really made history did not live here. We have a few people who truly are historical characters who are from Summerville. But a whole lot of people who really made a big name here didn’t live here,” stated West.
Dr. Charles Shepard of North Haven, Connecticut was one of these seminal figures, who traveled to Summerville to build the Pinehurst Tea Plantation in 1888, recognized as the first commercial tea plantation in the United States. Lipton Tea Company would eventually claim the old Pinehurst plants and transported them to Wadmadlaw Island years after the operation faltered once its founder passed in 1915.
Similarly, West recounted how German immigrant Frederick Wagener purchased the Summerville Hotel Company in 1890, and went on to open the Pine Forest Inn a year later.
Wagener started out as a grocer and emerged as a self-made millionaire. He would go on to build the largest commercial edifice in Charleston on East Bay Street in 1880 and lived at the “Rutledge House” on the other end of Broad Street.
The book further highlights the exploits of railroad man John Averill of Plattsburgh, New York, who led the rebuilding efforts in Summerville in the aftermath of the 1886 earthquake.
But the protagonist of the book is the 26th President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt. The New York City-born statesman, conservationist, soldier, writer and historian is prominently featured on the cover the museum’s limited-edition printed copy due to his 24-hour visit to Summerville in 1902. The purpose of the sojourn was to tour the Lowcountry due to “two remarkable men,” as mentioned in the write-up, who joined forces on a “benighted effort” to host a World’s Fair in the Holy City.
“Teddy Roosevelt spent the day in Charleston and he came up to Summerville and spent the night at the Pine Forest Inn and then he went over to see the tea farm,” explained West.
While in Charleston, Roosevelt claimed that his mother, Martha Stewart “Mittie” Roosevelt, was a southerner born in Connecticut, but raised in Cobb County, Georgia in the 1800s.
“I don’t know if you all think this way, but who lived in South Carolina in 1700 and in Georgia in 1800? The people who lived out in Dorchester. I found out her maiden name was Stewart ... this land we’re standing on now was owned by James Stewart.”
In addition, West disclosed that (James) Stewart — a relative of Martha’s from the previous century — most likely was the proprietor of property that would serve as the future location of the Pine Forest Inn in Summerville.
The site of the Pine Forest Inn was situated on 60 acres of land near the present-day Roosevelt Square that is generally bounded by Simmons Avenue, Salisbury Drive, Marion Avenue and Gaillard Lane.
The limited-edition book copies were distributed among sponsor reps at the anniversary event that was also attended by museum executive officers and directors, including: Vice President Pam Giesick, Kenneth Battle, Danny Hughes, Janet Sussman and Michael Sussman, among others.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD)- Gary Simmons of Summerville started to complain about blurry vision in the late 2000s. One day, he basically fainted at church.
It was after that incident that Simmons was told he had a liver condition that was incurable with medicine.
The only cure for the illness was a new liver.
“What can we do to prolong and live longer?” said Simmons. “No way to live at all. Just hoped and prayed that some day we get a call.”
Simmons joined the waiting list for an organ transplant after 15 months of standing by. Then, it took another 15 months to get the transplant.
“That call came when I knew I was close to death. The doctor said I had maybe two weeks afterwards. But, it came January 23, 2013 so I just had my ten year liver-versary,’ said Simmons.
That liver, which saved Gary’s life, came from Peggy Long, whose family lives in the Upstate.
She wasn’t on the donor list, but when Long passed away her family gave the greenlight for her liver to be used in Simmons’ operation.
“Supposedly Herald, the eldest son told me, that ‘We looked at each other. It took about a minute and we said ‘What would Peggy do?’ Peggy was a very loving and caring type of person. They said there was no question what she would want to do. That is to say yes to donations.'” said Simmons.
Simmons met Peggy’s four sons after the transplant and has stayed in touch ever since. His mission is to pay the love they showed him forward.
Along with the Organ Support Group and We Are Sharing Hope South Carolina, Simmons is raising awareness for getting on the organ donor list. He is also trying to find mentors to those who are on the list waiting for an organ.
“The more people registered we have the more people we can save,” said Simmons. “About 87 percent of the people on the waiting list need kidney transplants.”
February 14 is not just Valentine’s Day, but National Donor Day as well. Simmons says that people can also become a living donor for kidney donations.
“More people are actually living donors,” said Simmons. “They just want to save another life. I think everyday should be donor day.”

Veteran-Owned Drone Technology Company Joins the Nation's Leader in Armaments Technology Development for the DoD
SUMMERVILLE, S.C., Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Armaments Consortium today announced the addition of Equinox Innovative Systems (EIS) as the organization's 1000th member company. EIS joins an unparalleled network of traditional and nontraditional defense contractors, academic institutions, and national research laboratories that collaborate with the Department of Defense to deliver breakthrough technologies to ensure U.S. warfighters have the decisive edge on the battlefield.
The National Armaments Consortium is the premier organization delivering armaments innovation to the United States Armed Forces. With 540 prototypes in development today, NAC members currently support modernization priorities for each of the U.S. Army Futures Command's Cross-Functional Teams. To date, NAC members have received 1,646 awards totaling $14.2 billion in funding, delivering unique prototype armament technologies to the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and the Navy.
"We are proud to welcome Equinox Innovation Systems to the Nation's Armaments Consortium as our 1000th member," said NAC Executive Committee Chairman James Miller. "In an increasingly dangerous world, our mission to deliver cutting-edge armaments technologies for our warfighters is more important than ever. Agile small businesses like Equinox are the engine of innovation for the DoD. We are pleased that Equinox has joined our organization and will support the mission of providing rapid armaments innovation to our warfighters.
"Equinox Innovative Systems was founded to help solve specific technology needs for our military and intelligence community," said EIS Founder and CEO Randy Morser. "Finding solutions to technology requirements in challenging environments is in our company's DNA. The NAC provides an ideal opportunity for us to continue to grow our business, engage new government customers, partner with other incredible organizations, and deliver the important technology capabilities that our warfighters need."
"This milestone is a testament to the success of our model of collaboration, bringing together our members and government partners to develop and deliver innovative armaments technologies," said NAC Executive Director Charlie Zisette. "I'm so proud that the NAC has truly become the nation's armaments consortium, and I look forward to continuing our essential work with the Department of Defense in delivering rapid and effective armaments innovation to our uniformed services."
Based in Columbia, MD, Equinox Innovative Systems is a veteran-owned small business founded in 2016 by former special operations and intelligence professionals to provide tethered drone technology solutions with military and commercial applications.
EIS's patented technology enables forward-deployed military assets to outfit and utilize a lightweight, low-cost, and autonomous tethered drone with up to 30 pounds of easily interchangeable cameras, radios, sensors, and more for up to 30 days. Reaching altitudes of 400 feet, EIS drones enhance the users' range and signal strength while sharing real-time data via their tether. With integration onto robotic ground and maritime vehicles, the warfighter significantly extends their situational awareness without putting soldiers at risk.
Operating in forward-deployed and GPS-denied environments, U.S. warfighters use EIS tethered drones to establish radio communications, mesh networks, and visual and radio frequency surveillance, among other applications. Moreover, when coupled with free-flight drones, warfighters can use EIS' tethered drones to triangulate an adversary's location for a rapidly deployable geolocation and fire control system. In the commercial space, EIS technology is utilized to support emergency responders and protect critical infrastructure.
The NAC's 1,000+ members include 840 nontraditional defense contractors and 168 traditional contractors. By business types, there are 730 small businesses, 222 large businesses, 34 academic institutions, and 22 nonprofits that work with the Department of Defense (DoD) to develop armament technologies in support of our Nation's security. Sixty percent of all awards under the NAC's OTA programs are made to non-traditional industry partners.
The National Armaments Consortium operates under several Other Transaction Agreements (OTA) with the DoD that encourage collaboration between the Government and member organizations. NAC members have access to three OTAs sponsored by government partners:
About the National Armaments Consortium The National Armaments Consortium (NAC) is the largest collaborative organization working with the DOD to develop armament technologies in support of our Nation's security. The NAC's focus: transitioning technology to the warfighter fast; promoting innovation; recruiting a community of world-class technologists; encouraging collaboration with government, industry, and academia; removing barriers; promoting nontraditional defense contractor contributions and participation; promoting and enabling the industrial base; supporting the nation's equities in RD&A, OTA, and future capabilities.

Through 12 seasons as an NFL star, A.J. Green kept a low profile away from the field.
“I’m not the type who needs to have that big spotlight,” Green once told The Post and Courier. “I’m there to play football. I’ve never felt pressure. There’s no pressure for me because I never get too high, get too low. God has blessed me with talent, and I try to use it.”
The former Summerville High School star announced the end of his NFL career on Monday in typically low-key fashion, with a brief post on social media.
“I’ve never been a man of many words, so I’ll keep this short,” wrote Green, who is 34.
“Thank you. Thank you to all who have supported, encouraged, and inspired me throughout my career. Special thank you to the University of Georgia, Cincinnati Bengals, and Arizona Cardinals for the opportunity to pursue my dreams. I’ve stayed true to the game and it owes me nothing. Be blessed.. Love y’all! The next chapter begins...”
One of the top high school players ever from South Carolina, Green played in college at Georgia, was drafted in the first round by Cincinnati in 2011, and played nine seasons with the Bengals and two more with the Arizona Cardinals.
He was twice All-Pro and selected seven times to the Pro Bowl, finishing his career with 10,514 receiving yards, 70 career touchdown catches and 727 catches. He will be a candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
At Summerville, Green played for the late John McKissick from 2005-08. He was a four-time all-state pick by The Associated Press, and finished his high school career with 279 catches for 5,373 yards and 53 TDs, at the time fourth on the national high school list.
After McKissick retired in 2015, the coach recalled some of the great plays Green made for Summerville. One time, McKissick put Green on defense as a safety late in a game against rival Stratford. Green intercepted a pass to save the game.
“We knew Stratford would have to pass, so we put A.J. back there on defense,” McKissick said. “He made the play, like he usually did.”
Once, Green made a juggling highlight grab in a game against state power Gaffney.
“Best catch I ever saw,” McKissick said. “It was behind him, and he went back and hit it up, hit it back and finally caught it. Everybody showed it, NBC, ABC, everyone.”
On July 11, 2015, Summerville’s major declared the day “A.J. Green Day” as the star held a summer camp for kids in his hometown.
“If you enjoy doing it, it’s not work, so I never thought of football, even now, as my job,” Green said that day. “Enjoy the game and have fun. Stay focused and work hard at it. I never had this growing up, a camp where I could attend as a kid and learn so much about football and what it takes to be great.”
Green played his first nine seasons with the Bengals, starting his career with five straight 1,000-yard seasons. He is second in the team’s career charts in receptions (649), receiving yards (9,430) and touchdowns (65).
Since he entered the league in 2011, Green is one of only five wide receivers to gain more than 10,000 receiving yards, according to ESPN. Tampa Bay Buccaneers receivers Julio Jones and Mike Evans, Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins and Antonio Brown are the others players in that group.
