Hey Hey! So a little while back (over a year ago!) we did a couple of videos about HBI Salon. I have been a slacker and not posted them.  😜 Although I am super excited to bring you guys a variety of new info and different media forms, I definitely am learning as I go.   So be kind.  LOL Here I get to share with you a little of what we do at HBI Salon. We have a blast.  We love what we do.  And we love that we get to pour into each of our friends and clients to make their days better and make them feel beautiful.   Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your beauty regimen! And a huge shoutout to our great friend, Jonathan Barrett for being so encouraging and patient as  I learn this new world of video.  

It's been a hot minute but here is a basic braiding tutorial that I did with the help of my awesome kids over quarantine.  Even now as more business' are opening up it seems we may have a little more time on our hands than before so now may be THE time to try out a new hair trick.  Give it a go and I'd love to know if this helped you.  Def  let me know what you think in the comments section. Y'all stay safe!

Sleek Half Up Do How is this for an unconventional spin on a conservative Half Up Do? It's complex and simple at the same time. A definite show stopper.  Make you do a double take kind of show stopper.                                                 My model is Martha.   Martha was looking to keep her hair out of her face but still wanted high style. So to prep we used Moroccanoil Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. Moroccanoil Treatment Oil to detangle and protect. MO Volumizing Mousse for control then blow dry. Added a bit more Treatment to her tresses and  using the Brocato Vibrastrait Flatiron  gave Martha the perfect sleek locks she needed. Sectioning the hair from ear over crown to ear gave us what we need to work with. Put the lower half of the hair in a low pony to keep it out of the way. Make 5 triangular sections from the face (widest section) to the point at the crown. Made sure to make your largest section the one in the center a

Today, as I do my normal new year planning, I am pondering "what are 'words'?".   I am making my lists that will ultimately be  stripped down to make a goals list for 2016.  It will include everything from my walk with the Lord, my role as a wife to Bradley, my role as mom to my babies,  as well as my role in friendships and of course work goals.   I have done this for so long I can't remember it not being a normal part of my new year activities.  Although I will say it takes me almost a MONTH now to get my list done where it used to be written in an hour before I was married and had kids. The obvious reason for this is the weight of my choices is much graver now .   The decisions I make and the things I choose to spend time on now have so many more consequences.  Every aspect of my life will ultimately affect someone else.  Either someone close to me or maybe someone who only sees me from a distance. I understand that now.  I gu

What does the color of "50" look like to you? Well, I'll be honest, as I am inching on that magical age  it's looking a LOT better than it did when I was a child.   It seems that hair color at that time was actually more like  "one color for all".   And that color was usually black .  **Thank you Lord for the progression in the world of hair color** As a hair dresser,  I have seen first hand how a great haircut and  flattering hair color can absolutely TRANSFORM ones outlook. Now take a look at Demi Moore.  Thanks to Getty Images Entertainment  for this picture of what is a sure fire inspiration for taking care of yourself!! When we enter this stage of life our hormones take over and go bizerk . But Demi shows us what is possible.  Let's don't talk about how she has hours to spend on her  physique and skin and hair etc. etc. etc.   For just a moment, let's pretend that our bodies' look just like hers.

This was an article that I had written for a publication that didn't make it in.  But after re-reading it, I think it is still worthy for today's summer looks.   Can you guess what year this was?     This summer we’ve got movies that will transport us  from the inspiring surfer girl  to the pirate women of the seas  to the futuristic ladies of the superhero world.   And although the range of characters will be vast there will be one common theme, waves !  To get these incredible haphazard waves  you’ve got to take a totally different approach  to curling your hair.   Soft, natural waves will add fullness  without being too structured.   To get this look try applying Kenra medium hold volumizing mousse on clean uncombed hair.   Blow dry until hair is 90% dry.   Then take 2" sections of hair and twist to the ends.   Loop the ends back to the scalp and secure with pins. Sleep on hair.  In the morning carefully unwind each twist.   Flip
