Old & New

New:

Recently, two of my brothers' friends came to have me do their hair for Preference (girls choice formal at Lone Peak High School). We had fun!!

AMBER

This is Amber and she wanted something curled, to the side, but more unique. This hairdo was a complete experiment. I thought of it on the spot and didn't know how it would turn out. I decided to braid some tiny pieces in her hair and then make ringlets out of the braids and have them intertwining with her curly bun. It turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! She really looked fabulous!






KAILYN

This is Kailyn and she is very tall, just like me. Cool! She said she had never had her hair done before, so she was down with anything I wanted to try. Then she showed me a picture of a loose and very messy curly bun, centered on the back of the head. We decided to try it! She too looked beautiful!





Old:

KATRINA

Okay so I have resurrected a couple pics from high school, wish I had more because I did tons then and I think it's hilarious to look back on how style has changed, but here is a beautiful sweeping up-do on one of my besties, Katrina. I don't know why we didn't get a pic of the back because it was a really cool little vintage-y bun with a pretty brooch pinned in the middle. Congrats to Katrina, she is getting married in May and I will be doing her hair once again :)







LINDS...(ME)
What would these posts be if I didn't have a picture of my own hair? Ha I'm realizing I have a picture of myself in most of the categories, probably because that's where i've received a ton of my practice! Here is just one (bad quality) picture of a hair style I did for myself in high school. Can't find a picture from the front (aww that's too bad hahaha the awkward high school years you'll have to miss out on seeing!)



PS...

This weekend I am doing a wedding for my friend Katie Clement! Watch for pictures coming soon!

Vintage Hair Shoot: Paris

This is an unbelievably grow-up looking little girl. She is 11 going on 25 and was a fabulous model. Paris, or "P" as I like to call her, has beautiful blue eyes and she's quite the little dancer.




This was one of "P"'s favorite shots, so I'll put it up for her, even though it's not technically a shot of her hair :)















Hope you've enjoyed them :)

Vintage Hair Shoot: Lexi

While Lexi's parents were off vacationing in Hawaii, Cam and I took over the household for just over a week. The girls and I decided to take a whole Saturday afternoon to play hair and makeup and do a vintage photo shoot. We did some hair shots and then some fun shots (we'll just put the hair ones up). Paris, her younger sister also joined in on the fun, a post on her pics to come...

Lexi (almost 16 years old) has all sorts of cool, vintage-y clothes and we had a blast, here are a few of our favorites that really show off the hair!













Seriously, she has such gorgeous long hair, she was a fabulous model. Hopefully we'll get to do another shoot in May when her parents leave town again :)

Watch for Paris's shoot, I'll be posting it soon...you won't believe she's only 11 years old...

{Bride} Lucie

{LUCIE}

This is my B.E.A.UTIFUL sister (in-law) Lucie. She is from France so she has this beautiful accent anyone would envy, not to mention she's drop dead gorgeous! She got married to my husband's brother just a couple months after us! She was simply stunning on her wedding day!









Elegant Ballroom Hair

When doing hair for a ballroom event you really have so much freedom to be creative. You want it to be beautiful, yet it is more artistic, sometimes kind of funky with lots of design. And it has to stay in when a dancer is whipping around a floor... So ballroom hair presents some challenges that are definitely fun to work with. I have done more ballroom hair than any kind of hair, but unfortunately don't have many pictures to show for it! Here's what I have (and none of the pics have been edited so I know they aren't the best quality :S):

COURTNEY





Courtney's beautiful butterfly complimented the several 3-D butterflies coming off her gorgeous Standard Gown. Love this girl!



TIFFANY









Tiffany is one of the most incredible dancers of all time. Not to mention she is absolutely gorgeous! I've loved doing her hair for comps!

LINDS...(ME)



These are some pics from my competition this last weekend (Feb. 19th) at UVU...I actually did the hair on myself...yikes!!





{Bride} Lindsay-My bridals/Wedding

LINDS...(ME)

So there's a story behind this...
Yes, I did my own hair for my wedding...in hindsight I wish I would have just paid to have someone do it so I could have that "pampered bride" feeling rather than getting ready all alone in my bathroom on my wedding day :) I was too afraid someone would mess it up and I would cry (I had nightmares about having horrible hair on my wedding day)...So if you are in that same place, thinking about doing your own hair, lets give it a shot, we'll set up a practice time to make sure we can get exactly what you want on your big day!









I think it turned out alright in the end :)

{Bride} Morgan-Wedding

MORGAN

This was the first time I acted as hair-stylist AND Maid-of-Honor...One of my besties Mo looked absolutely perfect at her winter wedding!







Isn't she pretty?
