I've been trying my best to keep up on the latest trends in Haircolor! Here are a few classes that I've attended recently...

The Keune Color class was amazing! I always love it when I get a change to experience a new color line. Especially when we get to apply the color to a live model!

Another class that I had the opportunity to attend was held at our salon. It was a Nexxus product and color class. I loved being in this class with all my girls from the salon.

I love the Fall! It's that time of year for pumpkins, apple picking, cider, hay rides and bonfires! Here's to an awesome autumn season!

Lately, I've totally neglected my blog so now it's time for a serious update! Well, we finally got all moved into our new home and are 90% finished with our projects. Still, there's always something to be done and we haven't completely unpacked. People are telling me that they STILL have boxes in their home that they've never opened from their move of 5, 10, even 15 years ago....THAT'S encouraging!

I've also been working with a great company on called Snap Creative making corporate videos for professional websites. It's a fun side project that finds me in the studio once a month. Here's one of their latest projects. www.facilitywarehouse.com Be sure to click on the buying and selling links so that you can see each video!

Also, this past month was the release of the long awaited (and final) Harry Potter book. Main Street Books had a party leading up to the release and they asked me to be a part of it. I was in charge of putting colored hairspray into the hair of each Harry Potter fan. It was a blast! Check out the slideshow below!

Hello All,
It's been a long time since I've posted. As usual, thing have been busy with weddings, graduations, and vacations! My brother-in-law got married in May and their wedding was a blast. We were in the wedding and it was the most fun wedding that I have ever been a part of!
At work, I've been busy with extensions. Check out my Extensions Page on my site to see the before and after pictures.
The biggest news in my life right now is that we're moving! Not too far away but to a great little neighborhood that we've had our eye on for a while. So this summer I will be busy decorating and painting. I'm excited to try out some new paint techniques. If you've got any ideas or great websites, let me know!
Other than that, I'm looking forward to a summer laying out around the pool. Hope you have a great summer too!

So much going on this month I had to post another blog!

Check out my extension pictures. They are amazing! I had the best time with Natalie, it took over 6 hours to apply her extensions! More Info on Extensions

Also, Metro the Salon is having an Open House Barbeque. It going to be a ton of fun. Friday, May 4th at 6:00pm you can join us for fun, food, and drinks. I truly hope to see you there!

I'm having so much fun this spring, hope you are too!

Hello all! As usual I've had a busy month. I'll give you the abbreviated version. First off, my precious dog Max had knee surgery. You can get more details from the slideshow below. The hard part of all of this is his 16 week recovery! He has to be confined to a room where he has minimal movement. Wish us luck!
Secondly, I got a chance to update my photographs. You might have noticed a few floating around my site. The photographer is Kelly Manno and she is awesome. She made the experience quick and super fun. Check out her page especially if you're in need of a wedding photograper or birth photography. www.KellyMannoPhotography.com
Finally, I am SO excited to announce that I am offering a new service to my menu... hair extensions! I'll be offering special discount rates for the first 6 months (until November). If you have dreamed of having super long hair, extra thick hair, or just want to add a few fantasy colors with no added risk to your existing haircolor you can come to me!

Well, that's it for me! Don't forget to take advantage of this month's special offer and I hope to see you in the salon soon!

Ahhh March. I am so pleased to see that we're finally transitioning out of the dreary winter weather! March is the beginning of many great things, including Saint Patricks Day. I'm planning to participate in St. Louis' Saint Patty's Day run! It's always a fun time, plus you can stay downtown to see the parade! My husband and I are going with our super athletic friends so we've been training so that we won't fall behind too badly. :)

I've also had a fun February! A girls nite out at Bailey's Chocolate Bar! If you've never been, you should go. The atmosphere is so cozy and fun which also makes it a great date place! The menu is so cute. It is listed in order of what's so great about The Chocolate Bar, it's desserts! You'll find wonderful, decadent desserts listed first, then cheese and fruit plates, and finally pizzettas (tiny pizzas).

Along with a fun night out with the girls, February was also filled with our cousin's wedding. I was so nervous about doing the Bride's hair, especially since I was a bridesmaid in the wedding! The ceremony took place at The Conservatory on Main Street in St. Charles. It was a beautiful wedding and a fun reception.

Well, I hope you've had a great February and enjoy the nice March weather (while we still have it, right?).

P.S. Don't forget to check out this month's special offer!

Can you believe that this is my first blog of 2007?!?
I feel like such a slacker!
Well, if your January was anything like mine, you know that I was not a slacker but more busy than I could anticipate. I never thought that the slowest month for a hairstylist would turn out to be one of my busiest.

Along with teaching tons of haircolor classes, it seemed that many people were in some need of my services in January. I was definitely glad to be needed! Plus, it was great for everyone to experience the salon's new location while it's brand-spankin' new. If you haven't been in yet, I can't wait for you to come see me.

Things have obviously been busy at work and I can't say they've slowed down in any other aspect of life. I found another little part-time acting job. (That's right. Like my husband says, I can't just have ONE job.) Right now, I'm doubling as a spokes model for marketing and distributing firm that manufactures decorative solid surfaces (countertops). I know it sounds confusing...Bottom line is I am doing informational videos for the company. It's fun being a spokes model. So far I've only done a few recordings. Hopefully they will use me for more!

On the stressful side of things, so far this year my identity has been stolen and used to spend over $10,000 with department store credit cards, a tree fell down in front of our house because of the ice storm, our dog may have to have hip replacement surgery (poor little guy!) and I *still* haven't made it through my client list to call and update everyone with news of the location change!

However, things are looking up! I am so excited for Valentine's Day! I have no desire to go to an overcrowded restaurant and eat an overly expensive dinner just because tradition dictates. Instead, I plan on taking in a double-feature at the movie theater. My two desired movie choices are "Because I Said So" starring Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore and Lauren Graham and "Music and Lyrics" with Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. My husband isn't too excited to see two back-to-back chick flicks but it's not too much to ask of a Valentine's Day gift, right?

I hope you have a wonderful February (don’t forget to check out this month’s special offer) and I won’t let it go too long before my next update.

Thanks for reading....If you can, leave me a comment. I thrive off of the interaction. :)
