Two Little Girls Explain The Worst Haircut Ever

Click the link and listen to this audio. It is hilarious!

This is the explanation of two sisters and why the one cut the other's hair. I think we have all had the experience of either a sibling cutting our hair or taking it upon ourselves.

Two Little Girls Explain The Worst Haircut Ever

Summer is Here!

Clearly, summer is here because as I perused my local Armstrong McCall for pink hair color only one out of three brands that carry it had some. Thank you, Paul Mitchell, for being well-stocked.  

This client asked for some pink tips in her long dark brown hair and I was more than excited to oblige (hairdressers love a good extreme makeover). I also put a couple subtle streaks of pink to balance out the tips. 

The great thing about doing your tips is when the dye starts to fade (as bright colors inevitably will) or you get tired of the color it can easily be cut out. Meanwhile, you have freakin' awesome hair to rock.

Like Father, Like Son

Unlike me, my husband does not enjoy getting his hair cut. He doesn't want to sit still for that long and he doesn't particularly like for his hair to be played with. Also, he likes to have longer hair than his job allows so that doesn't make getting his hair cut any more pleasant. 

My son doesn't enjoy getting his hair cut either, but this is generally the case with any young one. So, I am glad that I am a hairstylist and can just run around after him and not struggle with him at a salon. I am also grateful that he will have better hair than everyone else his age. What can I say? It's the truth. 

Anyway, in honor of Father's day which is approaching us in the near future, I have added some pictures of my son's first haircut. 

Mix It Up

Putting different textures in your hair can be a really fun experiment. In this shoot I was trying to create an 80's vibe but make it fun and wearable. There is crimped texture along with some loose curls and even a little bit of the model's straight hair left out. Lesson: have fun with your hair!

 Hope these pictures are an inspiration whether you do this style or try something new.

Everybody Loves a Makeover

In honor of Mother's Day here are some photos of a mother and daughter who both got a hair makeover in a session with me. They both loved their new hair!

Prom

Here is a style I did this past weekend for a high school prom. I love the classic elegance. 

It was done by first securing three pony tails. By doing this you create security and you can work with the hair more easily. If I wanted the hairstyle to be centered in one area I would have done one ponytail but because I wanted the  knots to go from the crown of her head to the nape of her neck I created three ponytails vertically.  

I then took pieces of her hair and knotted and pinned it as I went along making sure to create balance. The front of her hair was left out so that I could create interest in the front.

Spring Into a New Style

To Spring

William Blake (1783)

O thou with dewy locks, who lookest down

Through the clear windows of the morning, turn
Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,  
Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!

The hills tell one another, and the listening Valleys hear; all our longing eyes are turn’d Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth And let thy holy feet visit our clime! Come o’er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumèd garments; let us taste Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls Upon our lovesick land that mourns for thee.

O deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour
Thy soft kisses on her bosom; and put
Thy golden crown upon her languish’d head,
Whose modest tresses are bound up for thee.
