My work on TV ...I can dig it lol :-)

I'm so excited! Two nights ago I got a text message from a client around 11pm which said please please call me as soon as you can.  So of course I thought somethng happened and called immediately.  Well it was news but it was GREAT news lol.  She was offered the opportunity to be one of the sunbeams on the tv show The Game which is taping in Atlanta.  The next morning I was up extra early to style her hair. I can not wait to see my work on TV lol. I have seen my work on stage before but television reaches so many eyes.

I am extremely honored to be appretiated enough for her to make sure I did her hair and not the onset stylist. To top things off, I will be in attendence for the next taping to make sure her tresses and anyone else who needs some assistance.  Let the games begin :-)

Nothing but God.

Much love to Renee P.

Product Love

Ok...of course being a hair stylist there is a natural facination with hair products and tools.  I absolutely love to share when I find a great product or tool.  You know what that means right? I will share with you.

I LOVE the versatility of my hair. Sometimes I wear it in its natural state and let the curls do their thing.  When I do I dont like a lot of product causing my curls to be hard and stiff.  My best friend in this case is a Leave-in conditioner.  On curly days my favorite(after many trials lol), is Mixed chicks.  It leaves my curls touchable but defined.  Now one thing you don't want to forget is everyone is different.  Just because a product works for one does not mean it will work for everyone.  I know it can get annoying but please try to have patience in due time you will find the product you will fall in love with.

TIP: if there is a product you really want to try but can not afford to waste money on just incase, write the company and see if they will send you a sample.  Its worth a shot.

Now on my pess days I use a Brazilian product called Nunaat chocolate special leave-in.  It is light as well but has that extra moisture I need after wearing my hair naturally curly for a while.

TIP: start of with a little product.  Never start off with a lot of product because it may give you a wrong impression on a great product.  Sometimes we can really over do it with the products and wonder why it doesn't have the effect we disire. Remember its easier to add than to subtract when it comes to products.

So Blessed

Friday I had one of my regular clients for a shampoo and style. she just happened to be a weave client who had just taken an acting class with Tasha Smith.  Now I loved the movie Why Did I Get Married, and spent a lot of the movie complimenting the hair stylist who did Tasha Smith's hair.  I cant help it and if you have ever watched a film or TV with me you know the hair always stands out. Well while my client was taking her class she was complimented on her hair by members of the class as well as Ms. Tasha Smith.  Anyone who knows me can say I am not the star struck type but that compliment really stood out. Here I was giving respect to another stylist and recieved that same respect from someone who wore such a beautiful style.  That makes me feel great I have to be honest. 

Then there are the little things like a client saying I make them feel beautiful when the step out my chair.  There is no better feeling for me than to know my work can boost the confidence or even self esteem.  I wouldnt change it for the world.

Much love to everyone who has allowed me to express myself through my art.  I never take for granted the level of trust and respect it takes for you to trust me with your hair.

All of me

Hey..I'm sitting here waiting for my client so I figured now would be a better time as any to blog. One of these days I am going to put up my bio in the about me section but for now I can just give you a little info.  I am a hairstylist and i absolutely love my job.  Recently I became the lead stylist for The City Shoot, which I love. Feel free to check out the website at http://www.thecityshoot.com/ or follow us on twitter @thecityshoot.  I am still a regular hair stylist but I do enjoy doing photoshoot hair as well. I like knowing my work has something to do with making a simple picture into a work of art. 

I can show you better than I can tell you lol. so here are some pictures.  Of course I will be posting more but here is a sample. I hope you like them and feel free to comment because feedback is important.  Talk to you soon :-)
