She is so fabulous! 

These are just some random pictures from the last week or so... I have some great clients who don't mind me taking their pictures :)  Taylor says I should upload a video of how I curl hair with a flat iron to show his clients.  What do you guys think?   Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!

Braids, Braids, Braids!

A great way to spice up the hairstyle you already have is to try adding a braid.  This works on almost any hair length.  It is also a great way to squeeze one more day out of your blowout!  If you are not too sure about the braids, first try out some tiny ones like Blake Lively's.  Start with a pencil-size section of hair about an inch or two away from your face in the part. lift away from the rest of the hair and braid.  Secure with a clear or rubber elastic.  This looks very cute when you pile the rest of your hair in a messy bun, too.  If you know how to french braid, try doing a braid across the front of your hair like Hayden Panettiere.  Start with a deep part, and section the hair from the hairline to about 1 and 1/2 inch away from hairline.  I prefer to braid "inside out" so you get a raised braid, almost like a cornrow.  Secure behind your ear with an elastic.  Sometimes it is easier to braid towel dried hair to keep it smooth.  Start with a light styling cream, do the braid, then let the rest of the hair air dry.  When it is dry, take a curling iron or flat iron and spiral some loose waves onto the top layer of your hair.  Don't worry about it being too perfect, a little messiness is a good thing.  And....  Voila!  Gorgeous, stylish hair with little effort!

Q & A with Orlando

Me and my hair idol!

In November of last year, we were invited New York City to a once-in-a-lifetime Master Styling Class with Orlando Pita.  He has always been an inspiration to me, so the chance to take a class with him was amazing!  The class was held at a salon called Butterfly Studio on 5th avenue.  It was a very small class, only about 20 people, from all over the country.  We got to sit down and ask him any questions we could think of, from hair tips to celebrity client gossip.  He was cracking us up with stories about Amy Winehouse being so messed up she could barely function (with some pretty ratty hairpieces) and trying to force him to go crazy with her bouffant (he didn't!), and how Gwyneth Paltrow would never let him cut her hair.  She would say, "Oh, I have to keep it long for the film I am working on" and then when he saw the movie, she wore a wig the whole time! (Iron Man, of course)  Obviously, she let him cut it and the rest is history!  He also talked about how T3 developed a special waving iron because of the way he started styling Madonna's hair.  After that, we got to see him demonstrate styles from the Giambattista Valli and Dior runways and then we got to replicate them on models with his one-on-one help.  It was the greatest experience!    I was so lucky to be a part of it, and I hope to have more experiences like that in the future.  I may not really do "runway" hair every day, but I learned some great tricks to use for making "real life" hair fabulous!

Who I am!

I started this blog so I could share some hair tips and photos with all of my friends.  I love to find new inspirations for hair, and I love to help my friends learn how to duplicate salon styles on themselves.  I think a great haircut can give you so much self confidence, and it can make an outfit.  It can frame your face and let people know your style.  I would love anyone with any hair questions to feel free to comment and ask me.  

The Long Bob

My favorite haircut right now is the long bob, or "Lob".  A lot of you guys got the now infamous Posh Bob and have been growing it out since.  I love this haircut because you can have a style while also enjoying the benefits of a longer haircut.  This length can still fit into a tiny ponytail for those times when you don't feel like fixing it, or when you run to the gym.  But when it is fixed, it is so chic and glamorous!  You can show off the shape of the cut when you straighten it, or add some soft curls for a messy, romantic look.  Either way, it is a great style... and cutting a few inches off always makes your hair look so much healthier!
