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...

#Molly2 #HalfUp #HalfDown Hopefully you read my previous post,  Now Trending : #MOLLY   so you have already met my sweet friend. Sponsoring Molly for her high school Scholarship Pageant has been so much fun. And I think the "Trending" theme has been perfect.  With our next look we did a super popular and timeless half up half down.                         So to give it some real boom pow we worked with the golden extensions that we had previously put in her hair.  This gives tons of Oomph to work with as well as adding a lot of texture to her final look. Separating off her crown section, we backcomb to give a base and lift.  Just a few push downs with the teasing comb does all you need.  Then pin this section at the base of the cushion  (where you backcombed).      Working on the right side, take her front sect...

Now Trending : #MOLLY Hey everybody, I want to introduce you to a beautiful friend of mine, Molly. Molly is competing in the Scholarship Pageant Program at school and my salon is  so excited to sponsor her.   So for her ad in the program we went with a "trending" theme. We started off by putting a few soft curls in Molly's naturally curly hair.   In the top photo, I love how it shines  and truly looks like ribbons cascading on her shoulders. For her next look we added some clip on extensions.  These are my FAV. So easy to use.  They add fullness and/or length in a snap! Here, we used honey, golden extensions for an added 3 inches. (Please excuse my attire.  Had plans of working out.   Key word there being "plans" .) A few final adjustments and we are ready to check it out. Oh YEA!  She loves it and I do too.   Seriously, a little back combing and clip those babies in and...
