Moi



Hi there! I'm Jenny Leigh. I'm not necessarily a double-name person but somehow I've always been called
by both names. You can call me Jenny or you can call me Jenny Leigh - just pLeAsE call ME!!!
(One thing won't take long to figure out- I'm goofy & corny as the day is long.)
Named after my beautiful mother, there were two "Jenny's" in the house so I suppose that's really
how I got to be called "Jenny Leigh" so much.
I remember people calling our house asking to speak to "Big Jenny" or "Little Jenny".
That didn't always go over really well with my Mama. Hahaha
So voila, there. My double name in a nutshell.

I've had a fun, fun life. Grew up in an awesome home with parents who did their best with me, I'm sure.
God love 'em, I can't put my finger on where it all went wrong. Ha- I jest. I turned out pretty good.
And by that I mean, I know the God of Heaven and Earth and He has blessed me more than I deserve.
I seriously have an awesome family. I am married to Bradley, the absolute love of my life.
We have, I'm sorry to say, and I hope not to offend anyone, but... like.... THE BEST kids in the world.
2 boys and a girl. They have shown me how to love like nothing else in life can.
They make me smile, and laugh. They inspire me and blow me away with who they are.
With a man who loves the Lord like my Bradley does, and who loves me like he does
( and you know, that ain't no walk in the park) and great kiddos, how could my life NOT be incredible??????
It's not always easy, growing usually isn't. But it is good. Very grateful for all that I have.

I love being a
hairdresser. I get to make people feel good and man - that is the BEST.
I am not a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon and I'm ok with that.
I get to make people look great and that makes them feel great. I get to listen to their lives,
cry with some, and laugh til we cry with some. Hair and people are two things I definitely love so it's all good.
I think I might be bloviating so I shall end the misery that you are surely feeling and wrap this up.
I'm positive I will come back in the future and overhaul this experimental page.
And when that happens, you'll be in a very small but prestigious group who got to read this!!
Love love to ya!!

Sleek, Shiny Braided Chignon

This is such a pretty look.  It goes super dressed up or super casual. Either way, it's a classic with an interesting twist. One that is sure to make others want to get a closer look to see how you did it. And the big bonus is, it is SO easy. Love easy! So we are borrowing a few pics from an earlier post, the  braided bun . (click on "braided bun" to take you there) So first, we start off with a braided ponytail.  This can be high on the head or lower. I'll elaborate on that at the end of the post. Then give the braid a slight tug to loosen and soften the braid.  It'll make the braid more pliable. Now just simply wrap the braid around your ponytail band and tuck the ends under. Pin on bottom first then pin on top to secure. Pin around the edges and since a braid is heavier and stiffer, it may take a few pins to make sure it holds. Sorry there aren't any pics of this stage but it's hard to snap all the steps. ...

Beauty and the Bible

Psalm 149:4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. "He will beautify the humble with salvation"~~ If God were my Rachel Zoe, my own personal stylist, He would first choose to clothe me in salvation. "..Clothe me in salvation". Before He can do this He has to get me ready for my style session. This takes a bit of planning and thought. God must set the stage, so to speak. A good stylist plans, prepares, gathers needed material, and gets a full vision for the overall and complete look. In this case, I was so unattractive or plainly said, ugly as sin or maybe better to say "ugly with sin". This sin is so ugly that He cannot even look on me. If we started here God wouldn't even be able to take my measurements. God cannot be with sin. He sees this as a problem that must be fixed. We've got to wash sin away. The sin must go before anything can be done. As you've seen on What Not To Wear ...

Hi-dy Heidi

Hi-dy Heidi I try to do a twist on the traditional "before and after" pics as often as I can.    I really like the phrasing, "Inspiration to Commercial".   Most often people see a photo of a celebrity or a model and  use that as a request for their haircut. Now some hairdressers are not fond of clients bringing in pictures  but personally I LOVE them.   It is such a great tool for communicating with your client. It gives you something specific, even tangible, to point to as a reference. You can use it for bang length, perimeter length,  the point where layers begin or where fullness is in a hairstyle.   Things that sometimes get lost in translation when using words alone.  My beautiful model for this post is the lovely Heidi.   Having known Heidi forever, we have been through a lot over the years. We've also been through a LOT of hairstyles.   And some of them have been rather hysteric...
