October beauty





This month has been slammed with everything I love most. Weddings, haircolor, haircuts, and another photoshoot. I had two weddings this month. One on 10-10-10 (clever) and another was one of my own clients, Kimberly Louvin. Kim's hair was a gorgeous messy bun with polished curls pulled to the side. She used a gorgeous tiara/headband to bring the whole look together. Her makeup put emphasis on her eyes which was a nice mix of bronze tones and violet to bring out the blue in her eyes. The result was a gorgeous bride ready to take the next steps in her life and I wish her the best.




I love men's cuts. I think that a men's cuts are just as important as a woman's cut and there should be time and effort put into it. Just because you are a guy and you have less hair does not mean you should feel like you are going through a drive through at the salon every 4 weeks, get a quick clipper cut and leave. I especially love guy cuts with a story behind them. One of my clients this month has a bet to see how long he can grow his hair out and I am helping him keep it manageable and stylish in between time. Another client has had long hair for a while now and needed it cut short for a school activity. He was quite nervous about it, but after talking through it and making sure he knew it would be cool and a good change up, he got more and more excited. When he looked in the mirror smiling and said, "wow this looks so much better than I thought it would" it made my day and reminded me why I love my job so much! Guys- don't settle for a quick haircut. You deserve just as much treatment, attention, and style in the salon just like the girls do!

Yesterday I took part in a photoshoot that was so fun and I am so proud of. I gathered 5 great friends and clients to model for me and was so fortunate to have Jarrett Gaza be our photographer for the day. All the photoshoots that I do, I put so much emphasis on the hair and makeup, as I should. For this photoshoot, my goal was to perfect the look as a whole: haircut and haircolor, makeup, clothes, accessories, and posing. I have spent the past couple of weeks putting clothes together and picturing it in my head. I also did the models hair color and cut the week before the shoot to make sure everyone had shine and looked fresh and polished. I can't wait to see the final photos which will come in a week or two! Be on the lookout and make sure to leave some comments because I love to hear feedback!



I am looking forward to next month because of my annual Thanksgiving Special! This special happens every year for the week of Thanksgiving and has continued to grow! I am offering $10 off color prices, half price haircuts, and for new clients only free cuts! If you have not already made your appointment call me soon! Spots are filling up fast!
