I’m giving you the after first! (Scroll along for the before and after and before 😜) My beautiful client Ava was such a sport, this process took 6+ hours! #nojoke Her before picture shows dark hair, however it is not her natural (aka virgin hair) she has many layers of a dark artificial color on her hair. I applied SO MANY FOILS! It took quite awhile to process to get out the artificial pigment and get her hair light enough to support this vibrant violet color. I used @matrix #lightmaster to #highlight after processing, washing and drying I mixed @pulpriothair #violet #lilac and a bit of #mercury colors to create this customized shade. I want people to know these types of vibrant hair colors take a very long time to achieve, however it’s so worth it in the end!! (at Enlighten Studio)

I was awed and inspired! #Repost @rfbstyle (@get_repost) ・・・

LOL!! Remember that old saying “Tell him I’m busy washing my hair!” Do you know why it took so long to wash your hair back then? It was a PROCESS! Most women got their hair “set” and they wore it for a week at least. So when they or a stylist washed it for them They had to take it all down (take all the pins out) brush out a weeks worth of hairspray, wash it up to 3 times, condition, then re-set it. Well, we are kind of back to that! Except no “set” it’s a “blowout” now then a few days of dry shampoo. It takes me at least 3 washes to get all the gunk out. 😳 It’s all good to not have to style my hair everyday though! What’s your favorite dry shampoo?? (at Enlighten Studio)

#motivationmonday coming at you!! This has me smiling and singing #2legit2quit 😍 Here's a little tidbit; when I was 14 I went to my very first concert and it was MC Hammer!! Hope this has you dancing all day 😘 Oh, and also #youcanttouchthis 😜 (at Enlighten Studio)

No no no no no. NO. Mercury please please get your act together quickly, I’ve got a lot to accomplish before the year is over! #forgingahead

I HAD to repost this beautiful picture from my wonderful friend @joanie.simon her photography feed @thebiteshot is amazing! I am absolutely in LOVE with this red tea! I must ask her what it is. Maybe I’m inspired by all the red #haircolor I’ve been doing lately? Also I love tea too! 😍 I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday with a #spotoftea or #cupofcoffe 😘 . . . . 3 things. 1) found the square teacup I was looking for and a tea that is the right shade of red for my project. 2) how hipster-tastic are the packing materials from @wayfair? #twee 3) Black Friday lured me in and mama's now rockin' a full frame. Part of me doesn't want to mention the new camera because I am a firm believer in the idea that it's the photographer, not the camera that makes the images. But, that said, I'm moving into a level of business that requires huge files, billboard sized resolution, and the old girl wasn't cutting it. Too, I worked damn hard to afford this camera and that's a reason to celebrate, right? If ya put the work in, if you push through the hard parts, great things happen...things that have me in tears over a camera that I am beyond privileged to own ❤️📸 #thebiteshot 📸Canon 5D Mark IV - ISO 200 - 70mm - f9.0 - 1/13 .

I was felling myself (as the cool kids say 😜) this morning so I had to take a pic! I had breakfast with my sisters and mom before my mom went back home. I had a very nice weekend spending time with them. We laughed so much!! Now off to housework 🤔😩It's all good the Christmas tree is going up🎄#happyholidays #familytime

So, I'm not a photographer.. but I love my little display on my dresser. I got 2 new candles from @marshalls on CLEARANCE! The Pink jar is Peony Blossom. I love #pink and I love #peonies This candle smells amazing! Imagine all the treasures I can put in this beautiful jar when it's burned out 🤔😍 The little purple bowl in the back is a mandarin & oakmoss scent. For whatever reason it reminds me of my nana. She had a powder that smelled very similar to this. She also had all the best treasures on her dresser too. Wonder who I take after?? Maybe I'll get better at this photography gig?? I'm not getting a fancy camera, I have fancy #iphone Maybe one of those clip on #ringlight would help?? I'll take suggestions from the #photographers out there. 🤔😍 #bekind #imjuststarting

When I'm doing a color this vibrant I ask my clients to go outside for a photo😳 I think I'll be asking Santa to bring @enlightenaz A #ringlight For #christmas 🤔😍 Anyhoo.. I've been doing lots of red color this past week, I say bring on the red heads! I loved doing this #balayage #colormelt on my amazing friend @jennmaggiore She's been a #redhead for quite sometime, however this time I changed up the tone and made the ends nice and bright! Of course I used @matrix #haircolor her base color is a #logics colorcremes formula 6R, 4RV, 6RO with 20 vol melted into a SoRed RV, SoRed R with 30 vol. I painted in panels of #colorsyncvinyls Midnight Violet with 10 vol. Who wants to try it?? (at Enlighten Studio)

No #rbf today!! I get a day off with my family tomorrow!! So much to be #thankful for! Wearing a big smile today, and maybe a little lipgloss too!

Beautiful #colormelt to bring on the holiday season! Why do I love color melting so much? I feel it's a FABULOUS option for brunette's who have to get a base retouch due to those pesky greys. We can add color and dimension yet still have the ease of retouching the base. I used @matrix #colorsync to retouch her base with a 4n & 4nw with 20 vol. Then I melted in #socolor SoRed RV with 30 vol. What do you think?? (at Enlighten Studio)
