Makeup

        Yesterday, i went to my locate mall to watch my good friend have her makeup done.  Dior professional celebrity makeup artist Jonathan Adler is a very talented man that is incredible with makeup. To him applying makeup is an form of art. The experience was awesome and i learned a lot from just watching the application process. I hope to continue learning more from him in the future.

Spring Fashion Show

  For the third time I have helped to inspire some of Chris's Beauty College students to extend their horizons. Convincing them to be hairstylists for fashion shows held at our home town mall. Through this experience I have opened their eyes to a type of opportunity that the cosmetology field has to offer. The responses that I had received from my fellow students were that of thanks, gratitude, and smiles that reflected how great of a time they had. I hope that I've helped motivate them to reach their dreams of being in the industry of beauty. Not only that but, I hope they have begun to see how rewarding this amazing career can be.

     

Updos

 Since I have been in school, I have noticed that I enjoy doing updos. Updos can be beautiful and elegant, but they do take some practice to manipulate properly. The outcome from all that practice shows an hairstyle extraordinary in beauty for any formal occasion.

Waterfall Braid

The waterfall braid is a beautiful braiding technique that adds a great focal point to almost any hairstyle. The final look is a loose braid that encorporates pieces of hair cascading down from the braid to give a fabulous waterfall effect. I have included a short video to demostrate how to manipulate this fantastic braiding technique. Give it a try, and enjoy!

Tip: Have the client hold the section of hair that falls from the braid.

Invisible Layers

"Invisible layers" is a simple technique used in haircutting that adds volume to a hairstyle without seeing "visible layering". This technique is simple to learn and achieve. Start by making rectangular sections on the top of the head, leaving the bang area out of the equation, if the hairstyle includes bangs. Follow by making three equal subsections within the rectangular section, then take each subsection and tease from the scalp to the ends of the hair, making the subsections stand straight up. Be sure that the teasing is really compacted from scalp to ends. Continue teasing the other two subsections,then trim hair located in the third of each subsection. Now carefully brush the teasing from each subsection and the invisible layering is complete!

NOTE: If the client's hair is too thick and it's hard to get a good tease within the subsections, section the three subsections into smaller subsections for ease of teasing.
