A beautiful bride, a gospel group, and Boys Weekend!

Another week has come and gone and I got to see some beautiful wedding photos from Mrs. Melissa Scrushy Watson. Melissa had seen a photo on my website of a half up half down style that she just had to have. She had lots of hair so I knew it would turn out beautiful. Her makeup was simple, yet classy putting lots of emphasis on her eyes. She was a completely laid back bride just excited for her day and that made her an absolute pleasure to work with. She looks so happy in all her pictures and I can't wait to share them all with you!








I also did a photoshoot a couple weeks ago with Jarrett Gaza, and his assistant Stephanie Hines for a gospel quartet called Gold City. These guys were total troopers sporting these suits in the August mid day heat! They still look wonderful and Jarrett's work always brings out the best of people. It was a fun day full of laughs!





Boys weekend is coming up the last weekend of September! $12 haircuts to launch the new Paul Mitchell line made just for guys! I have already been using it a little here and there and have been in love with the results! One of the main goal of these awesome specials is to bring in new people so tell all your friends!

Brides, Photoshoots, and Mitch oh my!

I have not blogged in a while....my apologies. I have been busier than every this year and I have never felt so blessed. I am so thankful to God for giving me such a creative and fun job full of surprises and joy. My main excitement this year has been the increase of wedding business I have had. I truly love the wedding business. I think there is something so amazing about being such a wonderful part of some one's special day. My goal as a the hairstylist/makeup artist for a wedding is to make sure things run smoothly and stress free, to make the bride feel like herself just a more enhanced version, and to make sure the bride looks that way for her entire night consistent from the first picture to the last. I try to get as many pictures as I can from brides, but it is a little harder when they are brides I don't know. I have put together pictures I have gathered from one of my May and June weddings. You may know them :-)

Hollee Harris Claxton. An old friend from back in the day of Upward basketball. A client of mine before moving to Montana and meeting the man of her dreams. Luckily, she got married here in her home town and I got to be a part of her beautiful wedding day. My favorite part of her bridal look, as it is with most my brides was her headband. So unique and so dainty. I love the lace and I love her dress. Her makeup was kept simple and clean and complimented the look beautifully. Here are some snap shots from her big day by the always fabulous photographer Daniel Walley.











Melanie Hoyt Lamberth. I have also known Melanie for a long time and absolutely love doing her hair. She is excellent at styling hair herself so she is always very inspiring. You may remember her twin sister Sarah's bridal look from last year. Melanie already had someone prepared to do her makeup, but I thoroughly enjoyed being able to do her hair for her big day. She wanted a big poof and we teased and teased and teased until it was absolutely perfect. The whole look came together and I was fortunate enough to see her walk down the aisle. Here are some shots from her photographers Ulmer Studios. Oh and congrats on Baby Lamberth on the way :-)






I also had a few photoshoots this past month. I have only received pictures back from one so far. My cousin and upcoming artist Tre Michaels. He is a rock/country artist that is making his way on the music scene. You can hear some of his EPs on his facebook fanpage Tre Michaels. Like and share!






Last but definitely not least! I am so incredibly excited to announce that Paul Mitchell is launching a new men's line called Mitch! I am so excited to get this product in the salon and start using it and selling it to my boys! Check out the website to get a first look at the products in the line. Especially excited about the shampoo called "Double Hitter" a shampoo and conditioner in one! www.mitchtheman.com
