The Last Green Festival

 Hello hair-chalk! Loving this newest temporary trend! Hair chalk allows you to have that fun color without the commitment of actual haircolor! At the Last Green Festival this past weekend in Brooklyn, CT, we offered braiding, hairchalking, and had lots of handmade accessories for sale! In this picture is dark green & lime green chalk in my hair!

 Bow braid! Katie and myself chalked a bunch of colors into her virgin head of hair, and then she told me to give her a fun braid for the day! Loving the awesome braids Pinterest has to offer!!

                                                                    Such a good day!

Lovely Side Bun Tutorial

 

Meet my crazy sidekick Katie! One night at the salon we decided to have some fun. So here, with the help of her fabulous hair, we created a tutorial!

 

 So, on dry hair, using a Express Ion Style Flat Iron, create waves in your hair by taking small sections of your hair, turning the flat iron, and pulling it through. It sounds tricky, but its actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Don't have a flat iron? Use a 1'' curling iron and curl your whole entire head.

 Once you have that down, use a texturizing product, such as Spray Wax by Paul Mitchell, this will create a nice base in your hair, that will make the hair easier to work with later.

 Create lots of volume in your crown area, my favorite brush to use, is the teasing brush by Paul Mitchell, it has natural bristles at different lengths, and it makes it easy to build tease in the hair.

 After teasing, your hair should look like this, not too "snookie-poof" just minimal volume.

 Then, you will want to separate the hair, leave out both side sections, and collect the rest of the hair into a low pony tail and secure with an elastic band.

 After that, take small sections from your ponytail, and gather into a curl, and secure with a bobby pin. (See picture below.)

 Continue this way, until there is no hair left from the ponytail that hasnt been pinned.

 Next, take sections from the front, and pin it into the back, and secure with extra pins!

 Spray with a firm hold hairspray, and your good to go! Now time to go out and show off your freshly styled hair!

Ombre Ombre Ombre

 Meet Danielle. I can describe her in two words: Amazing Fun-ness! Here is her signature ombre for the summer months. A darker mahogany brown for the base, and bright golden blonde on the ends!

 Back (Danielle)

Meet Amber. This is Danielle's friend, who loved her ombre so much, she had to get one herself! On Amber I did a lighter version of the ombre. Her base is a medium beige-y brown and her ends are a soft neutral blonde, they blend beautifuly!

Back (Amber)

Meet Alexa. This is the boldest color Alexa has ever done! With her long locks, having the ombre suited her well. She loves the relaxed maintenance the ombre requires, and she loves all the compliments she's been getting! Her base is a smokey, subtle violet rich brown, blended into a warm bright blonde. Love the drama in her hair!

 Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Reynolds! Jenna asked me, to be the one to do her hair and makeup on her big day! A morning filled with friends, and Vienna Bakery donuts sounded good to me! Count me in! Hair in pincurls, applying makeup to last all day! Love how clean and glowing her makeup looks here.

                                                   

I love this picture. Makeup freshly done, (was waiting to put her lip color on, still had to wait for her to brush her teeth!) putting the final coat of hairspray on her wedding 'do.

Was worth all the wait. She looks absolutely beautiful. Wedding in Warwick, RI. Such a nice day!
