Moxie Style Education!


My friends, please meet a great multi-talented artist and dear friend, Kris Catoe.
Kris used to work with me at Rococo Hair Design (where yours truly presently works) a few years ago.  Ok, it was a lot of years ago but don't be bringing me down. 
He is a laugh riot and as a hairdresser, well.... he's got skills.
But that's not all. 
This fella is also an Assemblage Artist.  He's got some incredible pieces that are just so interesting and unique.  Definitely like nothing I've seen before.  
He's got a show in September; I'll post some pics of his work for you all to enjoy
and a way to purchase, if you feel so moved.   
Kris, who now owns The Moxie Salon in Gadsden, Al., was kind enough to invite me to a Rusk Color class he was hosting .  So, yea, I love those Learning Mondays so you know I was too happy to accept.  Getting to catch up with my friend and grow in some Rusk knowledge,....well, it was a WIN WIN.


Here is Rusk educator,SuBee, demonstrating some new sectioning techniques for color. Loved SuBee.  Don't know if I loved her work or her name more?  What a cool name, huh?
 Side note: I seriously need a name change.  I love my name, Jenny and Jenny Leigh but you know how it is.  Some hairdressers have the coolest names.  And let's face it, if they have a cool name and a British accent-BOOM- we automatically want to pay them more!!!

  *sigh* But I digress.
(I jest about my name Mama. You know I love it.:-) muah)

 I have already used several of the new techniques in the salon to muchos success.
I've used Rusk products in the past so it was good to get back in there and hear
what it's all about now.
**For you at home, a super new color look would be**
 trying two colors of blonde on the top of the head, above the pariatal ridge. 
I believe "Betty", our lovely mannequin model, received a deeper golden blonde
on the edge and a couple of shades lighter near the top of the head. 
Does that make sense?
Sounds funny but it's really pretty beautiful.
The underneath blonde blends seamlessly with the lower level of the natural hair as well as the soft, yet brighter top blonde.  The dimension is gorgeous.  Thanks SuBee!!
I enjoyed learning about the color line and def came away with some
inspiring new looks for my clients.

   With SuBee


With Subee and Tammi. 

Tammi is also a Rusk educator who was helping out.
Really enjoyed meeting them both.  So if ya'll are reading this, Thanks again for answering a million questions and not booting me out after coming in late.
 Hopefully we'll run into each other again.
 Side note: a piece of Kris' artwork is in the background.
 

I am working on finding someone to do this!
Who's ready for the modern day bi-level??
Not sure what Rusk calls this but buddy I am putting this on somebody SOON!
 Would you do it??

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 ...

Beauty & the Bible The Collection pt 4: "Ocean"

Moving on. If you're new to the blog, PLEASE go back and read the 3 previous entries. I know it'll be worth it. And thanks, I'm glad you're here! As a recap, I'm imagining God as my personal stylist. I've tried on 3 looks so far during my style session. You've got to read all about it. "Salvation", "Active Wear", and "Fierce". All very different looks but equally essential parts of this collection. As I look around for my next look I feel God going in a very different direction. A bit more serene. --I've been saved---I'm running here, there, and everywhere---I've even done some spriritual battle. But I can feel a draw that is pulling me to an outfit that's not so much for show but more for a comfortable, sweet, bonding time. I can't help but think of white, light, gauzy like material. So of course I imagine that God has planted me on the beach. In the late afternoon I can feel the light warmth ...
