Photographers as clients are wonderful!


I had so much fun cutting Sarah Giffrow's hair. We blew it out with a round brush to set some waves into it. She is tired of long straight look and is moving toward softer waves. We added layers below the chin creating more interest through the length. I love this new look.

Sarah and Ben of Enko Photography took photos after the cut and style for their website. Thank you so much for sharing them!!

check out the fun and the wedding hair on youtube:)

summer wedding

I had so much fun doing wedding hair for Lauren Bell, her 2 bridesmaids, and her wonderful mother whom I also had the pleasure of cutting and coloring her hair before the wedding. Anna Webber did beautiful makeup, and the bodice cake and the wedding cake were created by Sweet Cakes. I had some of the bodice cake that you can see in the video, and it was incredible!

Sorry I can't figure out how to post the summer wedding video:) It is so heart warming.

Before I After flat ironing





This morning I did Teresa's hair on her visit to Portland from North Carolina. We had met a year ago when I worked on a photo shoot for her daughter Chelsea who sells her 80's inspired clothes locally and internationally under the label Erhart.

At the time of the photo shoot Teresa was living in Egypt where she had hair horror stories of 2 men blow drying her hair. One holding the brush and hair, the other burning her scalp with the blow dryer , then ironing her hair with an iron heated on metal plates, I think. In Egypt only men could be hairdressers and the windows of the salon were all kept shut to keep out the eyes of onlookers.

She has been through a lot with her hair, so today's experience of a cut/color/style was a real treat and a learning experience. After blowing out her hair we flat ironed it with the GHD flat iron/styler It locked in so much moisture into Teresa's hair for shine and polish that will last until it is washed again. The frizz of her blown out hair was tamed, and the deeper color made her skin glow.

GHD has only been in the US since 2005. It has universal voltage for here and the UK. There is a 2 year warranty through the company, and a one year warranty when special ordered through me at the salon where you can return it directly to me for a full cash refund on the spot no questions asked, even if it still works perfectly. Extra features: advanced ceramic heaters for static free shine, rounder edges for curling, sleep mode/shuts off when left unattended for 30 minutes, heats up in seconds, contains a hologram to let you know it's authentic undiverted, casing made of rhyonite(bomb proof) to limit breakage from dropping. Finally it adjusts it's temp. every 30 seconds depending on the porosity of the hair to prevent damage. I LOVE this iron.
