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' ...

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...

It's a Beautiful World!   One of the best things about being a hairdresser is getting to enjoy those moments when people feel their best and refreshed. A great haircut can make you want to take on the world.  And I   count it a pleasure and an honor to be a part of so many of those great moments.  Here are a few of those moments caught after our haircutting sessions.  Enjoy!   Bailey Before Bailey After!   A glamorous "birthday do" I did on Ramie      Love her!  Emily w/ below jaw length show stopper.  Tres Chic.     Swingy layers!   Beverly's hair went from super curly to super beautiful . Good night all Take time to appreciate what God has given you and then go make the most of it! Love, Love and more of God's love to you Jenny Leigh

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 ...
