Baby Blue lowlights?!?

Thank you, L'Oreal Professional, for making my dreams of baby blue come true. This is from the Spring Summer 2009 Collection for Luocolor. It's called Poppy Blue I believe and very charming.

Hot man hair

Classic works on men too. From the House of Bumble. Dapper Gentleman.

Wedding hair possibility?

Thank Bumble and Bumble for this one. Its beautiful - Sleek, vintage inspired yet very space age-y, and oh so flattering. I think this would be fabulous on a bride because it is so very timeless looking. Not for those who have bangs, or those with very thick hair. It would be amazing on naturally curly hair and could even be adapted to a messy version or a messy french braid version. So lovely!

Musical Inspirations

Last week I saw the new video for Peter Bjorn and John's new single "Nothing to Worry About". I LUFF Japanese street fashion, and I adore the rockabilly vintage look so this was a dream come true for me. I have been trying to convince everyone to let me give them a sky-high pomp.

Wayne's World Sunday Photo fun

A few weeks ago, I directed a photo shoot with my lovely friends and colleagues, Patty and Hayley. I have THOUSANDS of photos from the event that I am slowly sifting through, but here are some highlights
PICTURES HERE!!!!

I LOVED this shoot!!!

Would it bother you if your stylist pointed this at your head?

There are just some things that get me every time. This is one of them. The moment I saw it, I wanted it. I saw this incredible blow dryer on my friend Marjo's blog . I still can't figure out if I love it, or if it is ridiculous. Oh well, I still want it! So if you can read Japanese, I need your help ordering this beauty!

I do not support the use of guns in any other way, shooting shit will get you nowhere. The only gun I support other than this is a hair extension gun.
But NEVER underestimate the destructive power of an inexperienced stylist employing an extension gun!

Sunday Photo shoot!

I am doing a series of solo and collaborative photo shoots over the next few months. Depending on how well you know me, you may know that there are very few things in life I enjoy more than a good old fashion photo shoot. I truly love styling hair, and getting to direct my own shoots is the best. I also am married to a very talented photographer, who enjoys collaborating on projects like these.

I am going to hopefully be doing more and more over the next few months, varying from simple and pretty to ridiculous. Stay tuned for the awesomeness!

Meanwhile, on Sunday, Austin and I did a very successful shoot with the very talented and supremely gorgeous Kari. Kari is a client of mine, and I also regard her as a friend. She is hot and a very talented singer/songwriter for grinConvention, here in Vancouver. Or check them out here!

Kari came in on Sunday sporting some grown out red color and we did quite the transformation prior to the shoot. For all those hairdressers out there - I used Davines Mask, in some weirdo ash copper browns (I know). The end result was beautiful, warm and shimmery. We had cut her hair a couple weeks before, so we ended up just setting her hair and pinning in carefully to create amazing 60s sex hair. Just a little lip gloss (Scott Barnes Lipslicks in Provocative) and some eyelash enhancing and we went and shot it outside in. I think it turned out beautifully and I am really happy.

Here are some shots for you to sample!
