~The new age of lashes~

Xtreme Lashes applied by Kathleen Champagne @ Tricho Salon and Spa Ann Arbor, MI

Xtreme Lashes applied by Kathleen Champagne @ Tricho Salon and Spa Ann Arbor, MI

Lash extensions are the new rage and can be a life saver for those with little or no lashes.  For those of you who want great lashes on a daily basis or for your event and want them to look natural and be an extension of what you already have this is perfect.  Most of the time you will not need to wear mascara when you get the lashes.  I am not an expert but I have seen many brides, friends and clients with the extensions and they love them.  They are more expensive way to go then the strip or individual lash application but it is all preference and what you want to achieve in your finished look and they are fabulous.

Check out www.xtremelashes.com and the website will direct you toward a beauty professional who is trained to apply the lashes & eyelash extension salons.  They will also show pictures of before and afters.

Birdcage…Handmade…Birdcage

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

I was recently at a bridal show and had recommended a bride,  who was looking for a birdcage veil,  to search on Etsy.com. Etsy is the place to buy and sell all things handmade.  I have found a lot of beautiful things on Etsy and some very talented individuals.  I am all about supporting those who use their talents to make beautiful things.  So here are some suggestions for hair adornments from Velvet Owl I love what she does and they are beautifully done.  Click on any one of the picture and it will take you directly to the item.

Custom Birdcage veil, blusher veil, teaser, French netting

Pivot Point School Evanston, IL

Pivot Point School Evanston, IL

The Bliss Book believes in the creative mind & inspiration.  I have created a class called The anatomy of an up do.  Teaching the core principles of how to build a structurally sound up do and how to get to the point of execution using your references and communication.  We created The Bliss Book as a reference tool and a guide for women and stylists to create their perfect look.

We also believe on finding everyone’s individual beauty and accentuating it.  We are all beautiful in our own individual way and we hope that everyone will find their Bliss.

This was my trip to Pivot Point School in Evanston, IL a suburb of Chicago. The students were awesome and eager to learn. They helped me take pictures to document the process so they would have pictures to use as reference. I want to thank them so much for participating and I wish them the best of luck in their up do imagination & creation.

There is nothing better than looking your best and doing it on a budget…

I was walking through the mall on a mission and there it was, all it’s overflowing tables of goodness. Forever 21 is the best place to find fun hair accessories even if you have only $2 to spend,  there is something for you.  So I got a couple of things to play with and give some examples of fun.   If you want to spice up your bridesmaid dress or your party outfit Forever has it.  So many goodies to choose from you won’t have the same as the next girl.  Brides don’t exclude yourselves, I also think anyone of these can be used in your hair.  Plus I saw a pretty large white headband with a white flower on it.  A  pop of color  in your hair to match your flowers would be awesome.  So get your butt to Forever 21 and accessorize yourself up.  With these prices you can go back again and again.

Check out another blog spot The Broke-Ass Bride she did a blog post on feathery hair goodness that are in a higher price range but so cute  http://tinyurl.com/kmzam9 .  They are from Little Von Loo , extravagant hair clips and combs.  Yummy!
