LOCK LOVE WEDNESDAY

Lock Love Wednesday is here again Ladies! 

I've got a few photos of myself and some other fun easy styles I did on others that's easy to do on your own.

Christy helped me perfect my sock bun...with no sock! (I've got plenty of hair)

And this is my day off! After my work out, but I love my bangs when my hair is in a pony!

Every so often I head up to the Aveda Retail Center at the Mall of America and do some quick consultations and little styles. Almost every single woman that sat in that chair had NO IDEA what to do different with their hair. So, here are a few things I showed them. 

This last one, She was looking for some new updo's that are more professional but easy with her long hair. All I did was pinned her hair half up, putting the bobby pins into the twist so you can't see them. Once that was up, I took her long hair and rolled it up. Pinned it from the inside and sprayed with with Aveda Air Control. She said it was exactly what she was looking for. My job was complete. 

Keep showing me some fun things you do with your hair? or find some pictures so I can tell ya how to DIY!

Alright boys, Its time to spruce up your look a little. Stop walking in to cost cutters and telling them what guard clippers to use... STOP IT!! It's time for a quality haircut!!

Here are a few idea's on what to do... It doesnt need to be a huge difference but, CHANGE IS GOOD!! :)

And my personal favorite, my friend Matt. There are a lot of different things you can do with this cut and Matt and I mutually agreed that this way was our favorite!! He does use a lot of the Mens pomade and control force hairspray to give it that perfect, shiny look. 

Alright guys, I hope this gives you some good inspiration! Now, make and appointment with me to spruce it up at Progressions Salon. 952-851-9999

LOCK LOVE WEDNESDAY

I'm joining in LOCK LOVE WEDNESDAY with my girl Christy! Just trying to be creative and motivated with my hair and taking snapshots on the cellular to share with you! Even a stylist gets in a rut when it comes to hair!

First off, a couple weeks ago i took the plunge! Heres my before...

And about 5 1/2 hours, 2 pravanas (color remover), 3 bleach washes, a full foil and an all over color and a nice haircut... Here is the after!

I guess a nice big change helps with styling your hair again! Get ya out of that rut!

Here we are curled with a 1" curling iron and I took about 2-3" sections so it wouldn't look like a fro. Sprayed it before and after with Aveda's Air control and once it cooled off, fingered through it. voila! 

I wash my hair about every 3 days so, the curls were a good two days!

Sorry that its hard to see but, this one I divided my hair into 3 parts horizontally. clipped up the top part and the bottom part and french braided the middle sides, both into the middle and bobby pinned my ends into a bun. The bottom part (which you cant see) I french braided up, than into a bun once I ran into the middle sections. The top, I gave a little teasing to and just put that into a bun, right above the middle section. pinned my bangs back with a heart bobby pin for V-day and a little Air control. 

Heres what the back kind of looked like. ( I'm an idiot when it comes to taking pics of the back of my head ha)

Honestly, it only took me 5 minutes. If you know how to french braid, it's just a little practice being able to french the side of your head. The bottom, I tipped my head upside down and that helped braid! Super easy and cute for valentines day!

Next day I washed my hair and wore it half up (sorry no picture of that) and so the next day it made it super easy to redo the half up look and throw the rest of my hair into a messy bun. It only took 1 minute and about a dozen compliments.

How have you been wearing your hair?? Join me and take weekly snaps of your hair and share how you put it up!

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair...

Have I mentioned how much I love my job? Let me say it again.. I LOVE MY JOB!

This friday, I did my first full head of extensions. That's right, extensions! My girl Amanda, from school, jumped at the chance to be my model and I'm so excited she did! She had been double processing her hair since she was about 16 and when we were in school, she chopped off her hair so it would look a lot more healthier. Ever since, she's been wanting long hair!

Check out these befores!

About 5 hours later...

And the beautiful final...

Voila!

Come on in to spice up your hair!

Hair'spiration- The Braid.

I'm loving the braid right now!

There are SO many different ways to wear the braid and with a little practice, it is super easy!

Here's a few of my favorites:

Get inspired! Try some out! I just might give a little braid tutorial here soon, let me know what braid you'd like to see!!

And so the blonding begins...

My dark red-headed friend is ready to be lightened up... blonde wise, that is. 

For fall, most people like to go a more darker hair color. Than, once the holidays are over and people start wanting the warm weather, we tend to lighten up the hair color. 

My good friend Molly has started her lightening process with a fun girls' night in with sweatpants, chipotle, starbucks and a movie. 

Here's some before pictures

I packed in a TON of enlightner foils, keeping it fairly blended all at the same time. 

Here's our end result

I do LOVE it... If I do say so myself!

If you are ready to lighten up a bit, you know where to find me!
