Rachel

Rachel was performing in her school's choir concert and wanted to look her best for the "red carpet" affair.

She wanted loose curls and her hair only partly up.

I spritzed her hair with a light hold hair spray. Created the curls with a  1 1/2" barrel curling iron. Pulled the top half of her hair back and smoothed it with a pick, then gathered it into a ponytail using a clear rubber band. I then took a small piece of hair from the back of her pony and wrapped it around the band and secured it with a bobby pin. By backcombing her bangs, then smoothing with a comb,  I was able to make sure they wouldn't flop into her eyes during her performance. I finished off the look by spraying a silver glitter hair spray on the surface of her gorgeous locks!

Simple, yet beautiful.

Prom time!

The hair theme for prom this year seemed to be loose curls. 

I love the messy bun look!

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!

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.
