Fiery Redhead






This sassy lady came in and wanted some blonde highlights to ring in the summer!

When Tonya first arrived for her appointment, I was actually surprised to see that she had red hair! This was a new color from the night before. I knew that it was going to take the exact right products to bleach out the red(red is really tricky!) and get the exact blonde color I was going for. And I also knew if I didn't do it right that those "blonde" highlights might turn pink or orange or some other undesirable color.  And that would NOT be good! 

And Tonya had already had a bad highlighting experience about a year ago (not by me!), so I needed to make her happy and give her just what she wanted.

I am happy to report that my mad skillz paid off!

She loved it. I loved it.

I am a huge fan of red hair with blonde highlights!

And that is what I call a happy ending:)

Beauty School Successes!


 This woman came in and wanted an up-do, pronto! 

I was so nervous.

She was nice, but in a hurry. That's scary for a student!


  And this was my first up-do with a real life client. She was no mannequin head!

 She loved it. Phew!

 Kari: before
This is my youngest sister!



 Kari: after. 

Finished A line bob


My now sister-in-law Melinda, came in to get auburn highlights put in her hair right before her wedding! 


 Finished A-line back view

This girl came in with shoulder length hair and wanted a drastic A-line.
I wish I had taken a before shot!


 Finished A-line front view


This woman came in with a jaw length blunt cut and was ready for a change. Again, I wish I had taken a before shot. It was amazing how her face changed and lifted with this short, sassy do! She wanted her bangs left longer so she could side swipe them, but she also wanted her hair short and not above the ears.
