Xtina’s not herself tonight

We’ve all been waiting for Christina Aguilera’s new cd to come out. She’s been in mommyville for quite sometime now. But she is finally back– and with quite a few new looks in her new Not Myself Tonight music video. I’ve always wanted to do hair on set, and this video makes me crave it [...]
Updo Season… are you ready?

Well, I’m exhausted. Do you know why? Its May. From the beginning of April to the end of October, it is officially updo season at Studio 9 Salon. Most of my days are filled with updos, curls, or formal makeup. BUT I LOVE IT! Updo’s are some of my favorite hairstyles to do. We get [...]

Wrapping up in the windy city

Well, its Monday, which means its student day at America’s Beauty Show. Although it is a lot of fun and less crowded on Mondays at hair shows, I decided to sit this one out. I absorbed all that I need to! Saturday was a fun day! I got all of my shopping in, buying some [...]
Inspiration for the day
The asymmetry. The black. The red. The copper. Very goth and vampire-esque, yet stylish and breathtaking. I want this now!!!!!

So Tuesday, September 8th was National Real Hair Day, as I’m sure you all are pretty sick of reading about… Tyra debuted her hair, first soaking wet, right out of the shower, then dried straight, then curled (all done on stage by her fabulous stylist, Oscar.) She talked about how when she first started out [...]

Must-Have Manicures
When reading up in my latest In-Style Magazine, Icame across three amazing manicure ideas! I showed them with the girl who does my nails at the salon, and she thought I was nuts. But we all know how “out there” I am with my nails. I mean, come on, leopard print? Yellow? Bright orange? White? [...]
Geek Chic
I’ve been following the “Geek Chic” big, dorky glasses look for some time. I finally gave in and decided to try it. I bought a pair (that wasn’t as big as my own glasses from 1995) and wore them around Chicago. Other Chic Geeks: Have you tried this trend yet? What do you think of [...]
Kristin Ketchup: The final color
If you all remember from a previous post, Kristin Ketchup is addicted to red. She has had all sorts of red, and couldn’t decide on which one she liked best. After thinking about it, and seeing all of your opinions, she decided on Look #6. When I went to see her in Chicago, we did [...]
Lauren’s Extensions!
I am such a fan of rockin’ my short hair, but there are times where I wish I could change it up and play with different trends, and this weekend– I did! I took tracks of bleach blonde human hair, colored them to mach my hair, and glued them into my pixie cut for a [...]
Taylor's Extensions
Everyone should have fun sometimes, changing up their look for a day if they want to. We all know I do. I love Taylor Momsen’s extensions. Likely for her role as Jenny Humphrey, Queen Bee of Constance on Gossip Girl, but still an A+ in my book. This also shows that her rocker shag is [...]
Inspiration 8/7
Boys, get inspired by my adorable son’s faux-hawk. Doable for ages 2-30something.
Inspiration: Dree Hemingway
This new issue of Teen Vogue is very inspiring. I want to go buy sequined leggings right now!!! Anyway, this model on the “Girl of the Moment” page is rocking the whole “I-dont-care-about-my-hair-but-really-I-do-and-this-is-my-look” look. You know… the look like you just let your hair air dry and you haven’t brushed it, nor gotten your highlights [...]
Inspiration: Zooey Deschanel
I just got home from seeing (500) Days of Summer, and I am very much inspired, not only by Summer herself (she has that effect on people) but with her hair. Zooey’s rich chocolate brown color, full bang, and simple bed head with a curl just tickled me during the entire movie! And she wears [...]
Seriously, wear a big bow.
It’s really fun! Brings out your inner child and fashionista! I get a lot of mine at Forever21 or ForLove21, and they are all under $6!! …just don’t wear one this big!…
Taylor in Teen Vogue
