Haircut

On Tuesday, I gave my cousin a fresh new hairstyle, cutting it into a concave bob that now really flatters her, so much more than the grown out style before. This was also one of my latest assessments to do with my college course as well, found out that I have to pick a theme and do a photoshoot for part of my course, pretty excited for that.

Before & After

I don't post/take enough pictures of the work I do involving hair. The hairstyles I can create or the colour changes I do at work. I'm going to start taking some more before and after photos of my work, here's a couple I did today.
On the left is the before picture and on the right is the outcome, the after picture.

French Pleat

Last week my tutor was down for another visit to get more of my assessments out of the window and move on. I managed to get Holly to be my model again and put her hair up into a classic old fashioned French Pleat, also known as a French Roll and had to include added hair which made it trickier but hey ho, this is the outcome :)

Best Actress Oscar

I am so, so glad to see that Jennifer Lawrence won an Oscar last night for Best Actress in a leading role, for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook. I saw the movie and it was so good and as she is my favourite actress these days, couldn't have been a better win!
Let me just add how fabulous she looked, too.

Retro

Recently tried out this old fashioned style on my cousin after she kindly volunteered for the look. I love this creation, I'm gonna try and worm it into some more modern looks when I can.

MODEL: Sophie
HAIR: Me

B/W

Here's another style that I've recently done, a few days ago on my friend Holly, who was kind enough to act as a model for me during one of my assessment days with my tutor. It's a messy bun involving a twist from the front, right across the head and into the bun itself.

New Style

Here's one of the most recent hairstyles that I've created. I did it on someone last weekend whilst I was away in London and it came out exactly as planned. It's supposed to look scruffy and scraggly like it is in the pictures, it's a messy bun/knot with a braid heading into it.
This year I'm planning on posting much more of my work.
What do you think?

Recent Hair

It's been a while since I posted any picture of some hair I've done but I took advantage of taking some photos of Lauren's hair, which I did for her on Christmas eve, all set for Christmas.

My Nails

After ages without nails due to having to remove my last set early for my operation, I now have a new set of acrylics on, by myself of course. This time they're all silver glitter, except for 1 on each hand being black glitter :) I love glitter.

Glitter Tips

Here I am again with another set of nails that I have done, I've really slacked in posting them recently but seeing as Holly was so chuffed with them, it reminded me I need to start posting more of the work I do within the salon.
This is just a set of acrylic nails with silver holographic glitter on the tips of the nails, perfect for the upcoming christmas season ;)

Knot Hairstyle

So, here is another piece if my work. A classic/vintage smooth knot hairstyle, created by me for part if my level 3 work, it can be worn with hair accessories or without and it's perfect for attending weddings or parties or even proms! It was actually an assessment I had passed too. I've got a bunch of stuff I need to get on with to go into my evidence folder and preparations for my next training day.
What do you think of the hairstyle?

Boho Chic

Today was another one of those days where my tutor comes to work to do some of my course with me and although I was super stressed out about it last night (due to a huge amount of paper work I had to do), it went well and I passed 3 assessments. Here's one of the styles I did today for the boho/beach look :)

Essex Nails

Had a lovely lass from Essex come in for a set of acrylic nails with me today at work and boy, did they end up proper Essex style. TOWIE eat your heart out, they looked lovely though! Longest set I've ever done.

Classy Knot

Today I had Holly come into work to be a model for me as I am now studying my level 3, which means a lot of advanced work. So today I did a couple of styles on her hair and here is one of them, a classy knot, which could be worn as wedding hair.

Glitter

Been trying out some new looks with some glitter I got for doing nails at work now and as usual, I tried it out on myself first. This is just all over gel with silver glitter added on top, finished by another layer or two layers of clear gel to finish them off. It's ideal if you love glitter but have problems with nail varnish chipping off most of the time (like myself) as the gel does not chip if done correctly.

Pink leopard

I've changed the way my nails look... AGAIN. I think I have some sort of addiction haha. Opted for pink leopard print!

Nails

Had a friend in for acrylic nails again today at work. First of all I did a full set of acrylic nails on her before coating them in a nice summery colour of orange by nail polish brand 'Orly' and then I added nail gems on the thumbs in a neat vertical line.

Restyle

Today I restyled my cousins hair by cutting it VERY short from a shoulder length hairstyle (as requested of course). It's super short at the back but longer and heavier at the front! So much braver with her hair than I am haha.

Extensions

Here's a set of full head extensions that was done at work yesterday, it took hours but that was pretty much expected because you glue them in bit by bit - the upside is they can last months because they simply stay in as your hair continues to grow unless you want them removed and quite often the odd one or two will fall out. This client started off with really, really short hair but as you can see in the pictures below, the extensions have made a huge difference. I am yet to upload a picture of the final result.

Step one: Here you can see how short the natural hair is.

Step two: Half a head complete..

Step three: Full head complete but not yet cut into a style.
