When you graduate they decorate your station to match your personality or something you like. The girls thought it would be funny if they decorated it Chritmas themed, because for some reason whenever I am in a good mood and I feel like singing a song, the first one that ever comes to mind is "We wish you a Merry Christmas." They hate it- cuz I have been singing it since I started school- I know, Christmas Carols all year round!! What can I say, I don't mind it Christmas is my favorite holiday???! But my station was cute, and that was a clever idea!!

I'll give them that much!!

We also had a cotton candy machine for my party!! (pink too!!) Who has that It felt like "My Super Sweet Graduation Party!" And they let me play my Christmas CD's over the loud speaker the whole night!! Thanks Prescott EBS for everything and- especially for my mom, for making it SUPER SPECIAL!! It was so much fun!

Some "Amazing" Before & Afters

2008-08-20T14:05:00.000-07:00

Before & After:

COLOR:

This is my sister-in-law

The picture on the left is her 3rd round of highlights for the summer (getting very blond and washed out on top), she decided to jump into fall and we warmed up her color and toned out the highlights with a level 6 Golden Brown with an auburn undertone to add warmth to the color.

To see more Before's of her highlights: scroll down to my previous post "Befor & After's" when we put the highlights in.

Both look great, but it is fun to see a switch up from a "summer" style to a "fall" style.

Before & After:

HAIRCUT:

My friend Mandy wanted a short "full of volume" cut:
so here is a just above the shoulder length bob with layers and face framing.

Before & After:

COLOR & CUT:

This is one of our Esti's. (a student)
She wanted to go platinum, get rid of the gray and the little bit of yellow color at the ends. I talked her into a cute little bob too, and she loved it. Tried to talk her into a little bit of a side bang but she likes it all back, still cute though.

So for the color me and Elise bleached her out with 30 volume, for 20 minutes and then toned dwn the brass with "purple" silver shine shampoo.

JUST FOR FUN:

(More of my random work.)

Here I did a medium length haircut with long layers and "swoopy" bangs.

Help...

2008-05-08T00:46:00.000-07:00

I am looking for help from my blogger fans. I am ready to change my hair up a bit. Of course I am, I am a hairstylist we are supposed to have those sudden urges, right? Nothing to drastic though, I am not the blue, red, hot pink kind of a hairdresser. Although fun, outgoing, and looks great on some, it's not for me. So here are some of my thoughts, I have even gather look-alike photos for some help. So, Here is me now....

Not a very good picture of me, but you get the idea- hair is a bit longer now, and even more annoying. It's in that not long, but not short annoying stage! Here is one of my ideas- i love my color right now- it's a real pretty Auburn Color (brownish with a hint of deep red) so I was thinking about a new cute cut with some highlights...

A Cute A-line cut similar to what I have just shorter or...

Same type of length and style but piecier or...

Something totally different- it is even shorter and piecier or...

This one is your classic bob and one of my faves. With some fun Highlights

Example:

Or should I do a loose curly perm, for added volume, spunk, and summer time fun!!

So comment, and help me out guys. Then I'll update you with some before and afters!! Let me know, Thank you to my loyal readers!! Have fun!

Season for Color

2008-04-03T15:23:00.000-07:00

This is one of my girls from church who came in for a

FUN,

FRESH

summer look...

(These pictures are al the"afters" we forgot to take "befores.") I'll work on that!

She originally had a light auburn color all over, with some soft highlights throughout.

So to accent such a cute *A-line haircut, we took her to a dark brown all over (*level 3/4) with a little darker level 3 underneath to create a casual *peek-a-boo.

Then adding a zig-zagged *T-Weave of blonde and dark brown *slicing, then we *toned it down to a beautiful warm blonde. Creating a three-dimensional haircolor.

With an added splash of the Blonde to lighten her up for the heat of the summer.

You rock it girl!!

Words of the Day:

By: ME, to help you be in the "KNOW"

*A-line: Haircut that is a little shorter in the back of the head and comes down longer in the front. Made popular by celebs like: Victoria Beckham, Jenny McCarthy, and most recently: Katie Holmes' new do.

*Level: The lightness or darkness of your haircolor. 1 being- Black and a 10 being- Blonde

*Peek-a-boo: When an accent color whether lighter or darker than the all over color is placed underneath the hair to create a "peek-a-boo" effect. The hair will move over the top of the peek-a-boo to expose the "hidden" pop of color.

*T-Weave: When you weave or slice in color from the front hairline to the *apex (top of the head) and then down each of the sides (parietal ridge.)

*Slicing: Instead of a weave a slice can be done for a more dramatic effect. You take a section of the hair and color it, where as weaving you weave out pieces to color.

*Toner: When you put a semi/demi permanent color over an existing color to warm it up, or cool it down. Or possible pull out a tone we don't want in it. Ex. If you have brown hair and it caries alot of RED tones, you could use a toner with an underlying tone pigment more ashy to pull out the RED... or in terms "Tone it down."

Now my friend- you are in the "Know!"

Here I come...
