This is Cassie, She is a cop from Arizona. I think she transformed beautifully into a blushing bride. For this wedding, she wanted to feel natural and not too made up. She wanted the feel of an up-do without having it all up and for make-up, Andrea did a fantastic job of keeping her natural and fresh and really bringing out her beauty. I would love to give credit to the photographer... I know his name is John... I will find out

So it is wedding season again and though this beautiful bride (and new Sis-in-law) was not a spring time bride, I thought her hair was most definitely worthy of posting. Amber is a soon-to-be stylist herself, she wanted something pretty but with some edge. Photography by Kevin Marler

This is Lindsey... she is one of my longest running clients and I could probably have an entire Blog of all the different colors we have done to this girls hair... never ever to the point of having damaged hair. There is nothing un-healthy about this girl. check out her great page---> www.fiteats.wordpress.com/

We have progressivley been getting More and more red over the last few years and then we just went for it. Her great freckles were inspiration for her color.

Here is Esther. Gorgeous Hair... I loved how her highlights turned out. We had been parting her hair with a really deep side part. I have been seeing more parts closer to the center latley... this is how I would wear me hair if it was long.

Salon Etiquette

Lots of my clients have kids. What should you do with your kids when you have a hair appointment? Here is my personal take on it:

Going to the salon can be really, really nice. It can be almost spa-like. If you bring your kids, the chances of having a relaxing, enjoyable experience, diminish big time. I don't mind having kids around, but I can tell that my clients are so concerned with what their kids are up to that they can't relax. It's really more for that than me.

If you have to bring your kids, there are a few things you should be aware of. If your baby wants to be held--which is fine--realize that your baby is going to takes the floors place as the spot for all of your that I'm cutting off; at least its your hair.

Bringing your kids at a time when the salon isn't busy will make things less stressful for you, and nicer for them. Weekdays and lunchtime are times when the salon isn't too crowded.

Salons have lots of chemicals that work wonders on hair, but if they get swallowed or used as eye drops, they can be really dangerous. Strollers or portable DVD players are good ways to keep your kids out of trouble.

These tips are meant for shorter appointments, like a hair cut. If you have a long appointment scheduled, you really should avoid bringing kids. Having said that, I have 2 kids of my own, and I realize that getting a babysitter isn't always possible. If you can't, then hey, I get to see your cute kids.
