Cindy's Sweeping Side-Do

This lovely lady friend of mine let me come play salon last week (can you tell this is a common theme?? I get some free time and just want to do hair!!). She has the thickest, most beautiful and long hair and I had been inspired by a picture and wanted to try it on her! Thanks Cindy!

PS she is the most amazing raw-foods cook/healthy person I know. I went to a raw foods class she did where she taught us how to make the Cheesecake Factory's lettuce wraps-vegetarian/raw style...and they are to die for!! She's so awesome!

Lucie's Transformation: Elegant to Sleek

Lucie let me spend some time playing with her hair last weekend (I know, I'm lucky, she has amazing hair)!! I wanted to try something sleek and up, and in the process it looked so pretty and elegant we just had to snap some pictures of it half up and down!! Her hair is SO amazing to work with, I'm lucky she's my sister-in-law so we can play salon as often as I want (or as often as she'll let me). She's so pretty I had a hard time choosing which pictures to post, so there are a bunch...and none of them are edited, that's just how naturally beautiful she is, not to mention the lighting and everything was perfect!

Uh PS, don't mind the trailer in the back of a couple of the pictures, I probably should have edited out, but they are there for your enjoyment haha :)

{Bride} Katrina-Trial Run

My bff Katrina!
We had a little test run just for fun before her bridals the next day! Here are a few pictures, watch for the post of the real day! Her dress is incredible! Only fitting for the same kind of lady :)

Prom 2011: Heather

{Heather}

Heather had never worn her hair up for a school dance so she wanted to try it out! We curled it and pulled it back loosely into a side bun. She wanted the bun to be really messy and curly all over with her bangs down and how she usually styles them in the front!! She looked beautiful!! I've realized after so many updo's that if the girl wants her bangs down it is usually best to let her style them like she normally does so she can get exactly what she wants!! Loved the final product :)







Isn't she gorgeous? Purple looks amazing on her!

Prom 2011: Jessica

{Jessica}

Jessica had a neon orange dress that she wore with Converse shoes! So fun! She wanted something more fun with her hair, while still having curls etc. She wanted a hairstyle off my blog (Lexi's post), but we decided to leave her bangs down and add some spunk by throwing some braids into the mix. So I made some ringlets out of her braids and also weaved them into the back. I edited the photos with a fun vibrant tone that really bring out the orange in her dress!!

Prom 2011: Anna

Saturday April 23rd was a busy day!! I did 3 ladies hair for Prom. All three of them wanted something completely different, which was really fun!

{Anna}

She wore a beautiful vintage grey dress and naturally wanted a sweeping vintage look. She brought me a picture of Tyra Banks with a huge sweeping wave on her hair, very old classic look. Anna has short, straight across bangs and normally this look is easier with longer bangs but we decided to give it a shot!! I'd say we were both satisfied...no, more like we were jumping up and down with happiness (I know, we probably got too excited haha) at the final product!! She looks STUNNING, like she stepped right out of that era!! Thanks Anna for being willing to try something different! (I edited these photos with a cool technique called CinemaScope)









Isn't she beautiful? :)
