No More Gray

Before

After

This is my mom and doesn't she look so young. Like many older woman she is graying. She just recently got back from a trip where the sun bleached out her hair and her hair grows really fast so you can start to see her gray. What I did with her hair is I put a little bit darker blonde in it and put more caramel low lights with a few lighter blonde highlights because my dad doesn't want me to go too dark on her hair because he loves it more blonde. I don't know what it is with guys and blonde hair. She is also growing her hair out so we just trimmed about 1/4" off the ends and barely trimmed her layers because she is growing those out. My mom styles her hair with rollers which is a lot better for your hair then hot irons. She just blow dries her hair and places rollers throughout and puts the blow dryer on it for a few more minutes to warm up the rollers. She lets the rollers sit in her hair for about 5 minutes and then takes them out and she gets a great look with lots of volume and curls.

Forgetful

So I have done a lot of hair lately and I keep forgetting to take before and after pictures. I even put my camera right where I am doing hair and I still forget. I remember after my clients leave. So when I do your hair can you please remind me to take your before and after pictures. Thanks. I love doing all of your hair and I really enjoy getting to know everyone. Thanks for coming to me and I look forward to seeing all of you again soon.

Hair Update

This is my friend Trisha from my hair school. Me and her do a trade which is nice. I have fun when we do eachothers hair. She is so daring. She was blonde before and we went all red. I am going to have a post a picture of me because I was all dark now I have caramel highlights.


This is Megan Isham. We did something a little different this time. The last time she had dark in it with a red tint. This time we just did all dark and we did an A-line cut. It is always fun to switch things up if you have had the same hair style for a while. I liked doing Megans hair and caughting up with her.

Daring

I always love doing Alyssa's hair because we always do something fun and different every time. This time she was really daring. I forgot to take a before picture but we cut 6 inches off her hair and put a lot more layers in it and gave her bangs. She is wanting to go really blonde so we are working into it. We did a reddish brown shadow box and put that color through the top along with brown lowlights and a lot of blonde. It was a lot of fun. I always look forward to doing her hair.

This is Kayla. She is Alyssa's sister. She was pretty daring too. She had longer hair. We cut off about 4 inches. After this we ended up cutting an A-line. It looked like Posh's hair where it was really short in the back and was more of a drastic A-line. We then put brown lowlights in her hair to break up the blonde and it is more fun to fall. Thanks girls for letting me do your hair and posting your pictures.

Ringlets

This is my friend Krystal. I did her hair for her wedding. Ringlets is an easy and fun way to do your hair for special occasions and something to do any day to look more fun and elegant. When doing ringlets put some pomade on the ends of the hair so they don't get fuzzy. I then divide the hair into rows starting with the bottom of the hair. I lightly spray the hair with hairspray and start taking small sections. If you want your hair more curly near then root then start curling with the curling iron at the root and work your way to the ends of the hair. If you want more curl at the bottom of the hair. Then start curling at the ends and work your way to the root. You do that until you get to the top. On the top layer I usually curl the hair starting at the root so the hair doesn't look flat on top and curly on the bottom. I then use bobby pins to pull some of the ringlets back to make a softer look so the hair isn't really poofy. It was so much fun doing Krystals hair. Thanks for letting me use your pictures.

Short and Sassy

Short haircuts look really good on people who have oval, diamond, or inverted triangle face shapes. Stephanies hair use to be down to her shoulder and she wanted something more fun. We first cut off the length to match her chin. Then we cut a ton of layers throughout her hair. Lots of short layers add body to your hair. We also added this auburn color for the fall and it really matched her skin tone very well. You can also do many fun styles with short cuts like this. You can have a sophisticated look like she has or you could put some gel in it and do it messy for a more fun and wild look. Short hair is very fun and easy to work with if you are limited on time to get ready.

A-lines

A-lines are a great haircut to get if you want something fun and different. They look very good on many face shapes. A-lines are a little more high maintenance than other haircuts but you can do so many fun things with them. You could straighten the front and flip out the back like in the pictures above for a more funky look. Or you could curl it all under for a more sophisticated look. With a few bobby pins you can have fun with it and create different styles. This is my favorite haircut to do because every single person that I have done an A-line on has looked so good and they are really different than any other haircuts. Courtney came in with her hair down to her shoulders and a very light brown color. We changed it to be more funky because that is her personality and then we added a warm dark brown into to accent her skin tone and for the fall. They are different ways you can do A-lines. We did a slight A-line with tons of layers in the back so she could have fun and be creative when styling her hair. So if you don't know what kind of haircut to get and want something really different and A-line is a great cut to get for anyone.
