Cosmetology: The business of beauty.

I love hair. I love makeup. I love art, photography, and imagination. But most of all, I love success.

This is what I did last night. I added some low lights to her lightened double process with Orange #inkworks over lay. We added dimension her color wouldn't look so "flat", she loved it 😊 #rudyandkelly #paulmitchell #pmts #hairstylist #cosmetologist #ilovemyjob #beautyschool

Ok, my last post I promise!!!!!! This was Trish's style, we went for a sort of dry finger wave, with a retro feel to go with her outfit. And she made that feathered piece herself :) Crafty lady! #hairstylist #cosmetologist #prom #promlook #ilovemyjob #fingerwaves #retro #vintage #feather

This was Sarah's updo. She didn't want a "traditional" style so I did some braiding with messy curls and ALOT of bobby pins!!!! It came out beautifully :) #updo #hairstylist #cosmetologist #fancy #prom #promlook #beautiful #gorgeous #darkhair #bobbypins

This is a side by side of the two. I had so much fun working on such different beauties and getting to play with variety! Gorgeous girls with the sweetest personalities! #mua #makeupartist #cosmetologist #hairstylist #ilovemyjob #prom #promlook #beautiful #gorgeous

This is the second #beforeandafter that I did today. Trisha doesn't normally wear makeup, so we went for a softer, romantic look. She had a beautiful 1920s dress that she had, so this was perfect. #mua #makeupartist #hairstylist #cosmetologist #romantic #prom #promlook #beautiful #ilovemyjob

I use to hate Updos, now that I'm getting the hang of them, I kinda like them. #updos #pmts #paulmitchell #rudyandkelly #cosmetologist #hairstylist #goodhair #fancy #fishtail #instagood (at Rudy & Kelly Academy)

Having some roller set fun tonight!!!! My guest was originally schedule for a shampoo and flat iron, but she decided to try a spiral curled style instead, and I was stoked!!!! I live some curly hair! (Probably because mine is STICK STRAIGHT!!!) Anyways, she rocked it, lived it, and has fabulous hair for the rest of the weekend :)

Curls were on the menu for the Macy's Beauty Bash today! Our PMTS Design Team went out and styled hair for women who bought a ticket for today's event. Not only did they get their hair done, but the also made appointment at counter to get their makeup done and enjoyed some wonderful catering! I had a blast... I did 12 heads in 7 hours, phew! Time for a nap :) but first, I'm gonna upload some before and afters :)

This is a before and after of some hair I did last night. I had such an awesome night with this sweet girl! She came in with a faded box-dye job, and wanted a more rich burgundy (which has more red in it, but the fluorescent lighting makes it diminish in the picture). We used Paul Mitchell 5 VR with six Red Color Shots, then I trimmed her hair and put some concave layers in there :) She walked out a happy gal.
