… Sometimes the most beautiful souls are burdened by the unfairness of life…

Woohoo!! Super thin highlights blend so beautifully. No harsh lines for the grow out.

I made my Halloween costume this year, it wasn’t very comfortable to work in, but it was pretty awesome 😁

My family’s first annual pumpkin painting contest !!

** SPOILER ALERT!!**

i didn’t win ... I had technical difficulties with my painting skills😂

Since we might not be able to go trick or treating this year, my sisters and .gladys arranged a pumpkin painting contest for the whole family!

It was super fun and can’t wait for next week for the first annual door decorating contest !!

Everybody has to step up their game because my kiddo is a tough judge 😂

Even my dogs had their fun ... we maybe not all of them. The booster machine just lounged around most of the time.

I think I’m going to do this at my house on Halloween with my sister-in-law and my niece and nephew for our mini person Halloween party 🎉

What is everyone else up to for Halloween fun this year?

THROWBACK THURSDAY!!!

Do you ever look at your camera roll and think “2500 pictures 😱”

But are too lazy to actually look at that many pictures and delete all the wonky, random, unwanted images. I’m guilty of it.

Well, I almost did that. Thankfully I started towards the top and was about to work my way down until I found this picture.

It was emailed to me by one of the attendees.. and I saved it ofcourse!

It’s me and Sam Villa at the Redken Symposium 2019 in Las Vegas!! Right before a haircutting class he was teaching. WOW!! What an awesome guy, he was so sweet, humble and he called me his friend. Such a small gesture and yet it was a moment I’ll always cherish and remember!

I met so many of the hairstylist I admire and was amazed how they were all so sweet, humble and willing to take the time to speak with us, and I was fan girling left and right when I met





There’s nothing better than finding out that such prestigious, talented, hair stylist known around the world are awesome people.

My biggest memory for sure what’s when I met .carruthers at the Sam Villa booth. He gave me a hug, and I squeezed him so tight, I didn’t want to let go 😂 He was so nice that he just stood there and waited for me to let go.

I was lucky enough have .hair with me and share this awesome weekend of fun and learning!! She also took a picture of me and Andrew....

Sadly, I lost my phone on check-in day like a noob 😱 so this is the only image I have left to look back on.... but I have the memories of that trip, both the good and the bad.

We’re all super bummed out that there won’t be a Redken Symposium 2021... hopefully 2022 will bring it back...

I have been doing my client Judy’s hair for almost 3 years... at least.

I always have so much fun with her when she comes in to see me. She’s so sweet and is always open for new suggestions.

I met her while she was shopping for product, I came up to her, helped her find what she needed and gave her my card.

One day she called and I’ve been doing her hair since. I still remember that day so well 😄
•
•
For some reason I’m pretty good at remembering the first time I see a new client in my chair. Sometimes even their very first formulas, or haircut style.
•
•
I always think back on all my clients hair history and remembering all the different styles I’ve done and all my client’s transformations!! Although I wish I had been smart enough to take pictures of all of them 😂 but I’m working on it now.

I just had to share this awesome picture because we had been talking about highlighting her hair for ages, but we had to postpone it a few times.

I totally forgot to take the before picture, but I got a during and an after. We also gave her a fresh, new, and much shorter haircut to give her more volume and manageability.

FORMULAS:
7nw + 7gb + 8gi
Zone 2( between her foils) 7gb + 1/2 6nb
Flash lift bonder inside with 10 vol and Olaplex
Toner 9n + 9g
Mydentity Collagen powder in all formulas

I have been doing Melissa’s hair about 3 years, and I always have so much fun giving her the look she wants. I love that we make subtle changes to give her alternate look. Something as small as changing her part line can make your look feel different.

This is great for clients that want a change, but aren’t ready for a full on transformation. I remember about a year ago we went from straightening her hair every week, to giving her fun curls every other appointment.

Here we have a combination of Keratin Complex Smoothing Treatment to control frizziness and fly aways. Which turned her hair from a level 3 to about a 4 - 4 1/2. This made it so much easier to change her base, add 4abn and 5na shades eq gloss on her length and give her a slightly lighter look than she was used to.

Also, the ends do look a tad bit darker, but that’s the lighting. Her hair is so long it cast a darker shadow towards the bottom. If you’ve had this problem taking your pictures, you know the struggle is real.

We wanted to give her longer hair with a more natural look, but not super full and heavy. To achieve this we used about 10-12 tape in extensions. They fill just enough to give her length without being heavy and causer her headaches.

What’s fun is that this type of subtle transformations can happen over a long period of time. Sometimes the journey is so much more fun than arriving to your destination.

To my client Melissa, if you are reading this:

Thank you so much for being such an beautiful, amazing soul!! I thank you for being such a loyal client to me, because the truth is you could have chosen so many other stylist out there.. and yet you chose me. I’m so grateful to have you in my life because you are more than just a client, you’re one of my best friends... And auntie?? to my little Forest. ❤️
