Tortoiseshell

My good friend approached me last week, wanting a hair transformation. Of course I was all in! Her photo of Jessica Alba as inspiration got me even more excited. After all, it's always nice when your client has impeccable taste.

I just finished reading an article the other day about a color trend from Europe that's making its way into the U.S. called ecaille, which means "tortoiseshell" in French. I hope you love her before and after photos as much as I do! You can read more about this trend here, so you will know just how to communicate the look to your stylist.

Tonight is President Obama's State of the Union address and one thing everybody is wondering is what is the First Lady going to wear!? Whether you're wondering from a political standpoint (is it conservative enough, an American designer; etc) or a style perspective (who'll be the lucky designer, will it spark a new trend), you know you wanna know!

Often several designers will submit a dress and they won't know if it was chosen until they see, in this case First Lady Michelle Obama, step out in it. That's what happened to Jason Wu a few years back and his career took off like The Flash.

The address begins tonight at 9 EST. Tune in to see not only what our gorgeous First Lady will be wearing, but get informed on what's going on in our country!

What style of dress do you think Michelle Obama should wear tonight?

My Personal Canvas

I love what I do. From time to time I think to myself, "If I didn't do hair, what would I do?"  I've yet to come up with an answer. I honestly feel like there would be a void in my life without it!

Now let me tell you, the best part of being an artist, is getting to create. It's so energizing to dream up ideas and play. I cannot think of anyone else that I've gotten to experiment with more than my mom. Remember when I chopped her hair off last year?

A couple days ago, she came to me with an idea for a new cut. The inspiration was too fabulous to not consider it! So we got together, and I placed her hair where I thought it would compliment her features best. It looked so fun just imagining it, that we decided it was a must!

Below is her transformation. What do you think?
