Exploring my Creativity!

So far, diving back into my passion of doing hair has been a wonderful idea! With the support of my friends Karena and Malissa, it has been an exciting transition!

That being said, I've had all of these ideas for hair and photo shoots, that I just can't seem to keep up with them all! Luckily for me, one my best friends does great photography! This is what we've come up with so far...

Karena helped me transform Athen's preschool teacher into a bombshell for this photo shoot!

Malissa gave us a little Valentine's day attitude at the gallery!

We were hoping for warmer weather, but that didn't stop us from exploring the Crossroads

Nothing says great hair like bedhead!

Just one of the many outtakes from this shoot! I love these girls!

The adventure is only beginning! I can only hope to inspire others to follow their passions, to be a little irrational and to have fun doing it! Thank all of you for your support... Come see me at Salon Ado!

The Pitch

Today I am nervously scrambling around! Somehow I was lucky enough to set up a meeting with The Pitch. They will be coming out with their "Wedding Guide" soon and I was hoping to get the salon featured! I didn't actually think anyone would email me back, but now that they have, my anxiety is through the roof!

Meeting is at 2 p.m. so wish me luck!

The Beginning

Let me start off by saying... I've never done this before. Not exactly where to start.

Recently, I was working at an office job for the last year of my life. Day after day, sitting in front of a computer for 9 hours. Mind numbing.

Before I worked at the office, I had decided to venture out into the world of beauty and fashion, as a hairstylist. After working in a great salon for over 2 years, I threw it all away because I was a struggling, "starving artist". So I found this job, and at first it was great! The money was fantastic and I had full benefits!

Until recently, I quit the office job and made the decision to get back into hairdressing. Then I did my taxes.  Absolutely depressing to see the kind of money I was making versus the money I will be making struggling to build my clientele the first year. I could feel the rocks in the pit of my stomach.

Then, my first day back at the salon...

I created this.
Then the very next day, I created...

Any financial doubt I had went right out the window!  Those first few days reminded me how much I love being a hairdresser.
