New You Tube Trailer and Recent Updates

This is my new You Tube trailer.  I thought it was time for a change :)

I started uploading some more videos again and I have to say I'm really enjoying it.  I'm just taking it at my own pace.  I sometimes get overwhelmed trying to keep up with all the social media, uploading regular videos, finding models, keeping up with my own cliental that put too much pressure on myself.

I do work a lot doing hair from my studio and now I've been doing "On location" weddings and special events.  With work and my 2 kids, I started to get overwhelmed and took a little break from videos.  However now that I'm uploading again and getting more into instagram... I'm loving it all over again and instead of stressing... I'm going to embrace it and just have fun with it.  

I love being part of the You Tube community and I enjoy learning from other You Tuber's tutorials.  I learn all the time.  You can never stop getting new ideas about hair.  All I can I hope for is that those that watch my tutorials can take a little something with them as well. 

Take care XO,

How to do Blue Thick-Chunky Highlights

Hello!

  

Thanks for visiting my blog!  This was a super fun hair color to create.  I love how the blue color lays on her brownish - black hair.   We started of by pre-lightening the hair in foils using a thicker highlighting technique.  This way it really made the the highlights pop out.  We then applied the blue hair color on the whole head.

Advanced Color Techniques, Multidimensional Highlights and Lowlights with Color Painting In-Between the Foils

Hi there!  I'm excited to share this hair tutorial with you!  This is definitely a more advanced technique.  You really need to know how to do a root touch up as well as how to foil in color before you should even attempt to do this.  However if you know how to these 2 things, then you can easily learn how to paint your color in-between the foils so you can get this all done in one process.   Learning how to use this technique will not only save you time, it will also be healthier on your client's hair.

How to do a Long Layered Haircut, Rounded V-Back, Sharkfin Shears

Hey there!  I am so excited to post this hair tutorial.  There is so much information here.  I first want to talk to you about my Sharkfin Shears.  They are so awesome!  They have a patented handle that allows for more contact with the shear for more control and they also have a patented finger fitting system, so I was able to fit them to my exact ring finger and thumb for a perfect fit.

Let me tell you they are super sharp and they cut like "Butter"....really!  I went with their swivel handle.  I have never used a swivel handle before and now I wish I would have used them a long time ago.  The "Monarch" line is excellent.  The handle is a little heavy, but the blades are light just like you want them.  They are so easy on the wrist!  I have mild carpel-tunnel and I am so cautious on what I do with my hands and these shears have been so easy on them:)

How to do a Long Layered Haircut on Kids

Hi there!  I am so excited to get this new video live on You Tube.  I created this video last winter!  It's almost been a year that it has been sitting in my computer just waiting to be edited.   So I am so happy to share it with you.

This video was on my daughter Sarah's hair.  I can't believe how much she has changed in a year.  She is still just as cute and just and beautiful, but I was a little sad to see the slight difference in her appearance, because she is growing up too fast.  I look different now too!  I think its time to start editing those videos as soon as I create them!  A new resolution for 2015 for me!

I hope you enjoyed this Tutorial and feel free to ask me any questions!

News for 2015

Hello!

I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas.  It's hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone already.  I'm looking forward to a new year.  I usually focus more on my Blog and You Tube Channel after the first of the year.  I'm so busy with my kids sports in the Fall and then the whirlwind of the holidays come that I really don't have the time or energy it takes to be creative with my work.

I feel good when I write.  It's sort of a stress release.   It's never felt like work to me.   I keep telling myself that I should make it a priority to write in my blog everyday, especially since I enjoy it.  I've never had writers block or a problem with finding material, because I love to communicate and the words just come spilling out.

I do keep telling myself that I need to brush up on my typing.  I still have to look at the keys and it makes my typing slower.  Another thing on my "To do" list.

Anyway,  I have some exciting things planned.  I just got a new pair of scissors from Shark Fin.  They are so awesome!  It's the first time that I have worked with a swivel handle.  It takes some getting used to, but they are very comfortable.  They are also razor sharp and I love the way my haircuts are coming out.   I plan on doing a review and video tutorial on them A.S.A.P.

I have some hair products I am going to review.  I also still have some videos that I want to upload from last Summer.  I always put off the editing.  It's not that I hate editing, it's just kind of long, boring and I honestly I could live without it.  However once I get in the groove of it, it goes quick:)

So that's it for today.  Talk to you soon!
