This was so fun because we did back to back really dark, red, and blonde pieces. The outcome was so cool and she loved it.

One of the best things I decided to do as a cos student was the Chicago Hairshow. I got to see some admirable professionals and there’s nothing like a Hairshow to inspire you.

These are so fun!

To break up all the dark.

Ignore the silly face but thanks to my brothers and my boyfriend I wouldn’t be nearly as successful at men’s haircuts as I am today.

The inspiration for this came from a lady that got a pedicure at school and had this really cool red peekaboo streak on the longer side of her asymmetric haircut. It was so cool we decided to try it on me. The first two pictures are some extra inspiration. Then the last photo is after a little bir of fading.

So we just lightened some hair and threw a 6VR over top.

I am far from being a nail polish expert. But my friend Misori came in and asked for some holiday nails (I’m a few month late on this post) and I was pleasantly surprised at myself for how it turned out. She had an idea and about ten minutes before the service I looked up how to do it. This is how it came out…

Poor Megan! We always use Megan because she’s one of the only students with long hair. Out manager Michelle said this is really popular in her salon. You set the clients hair in pin curls. First we protect the hair with Paul Mitchell Hot of the Press then using a curling iron we section off the hair and make sure to not letting the curl fall, we let it cool in our hands then spray with hairspray and pin it to the head.
This is before and after

We were told that the curls should have held a lot better. I’m not sure why they didn’t.
