Where Do We Draw The Line?


Let me indulge you in some beauty salon talk.
 One of the most common statements in describing women  these days is "She's naturally beautiful, no work done." Im hearing this so often now that it makes me want to analyze the topic. See, I have never been that woman that puts someones beauty on a scale because they are "natural" or "worked on". The truth is, pretty much everyone you've met has been worked on one way or another. Its all in degrees, really. Some women come in to get their hair highlighted or darkened. They want their eyebrows thinner to make their eyes bigger or they want their facial hair removed for a cleaner appearance. Whatever they are doing, they are leaving in a different look than what they came in with. Other women have the means and desire to get a longer lasting, more permanant procedure, they go under the knife to nip, tuck and enhance. The thing that bothers me is how often, especially in Los Angeles women judge other women's dedication to their appearance. Listen, Ive had the finger pointed at me for everything. I can laugh it off and to be honest, it is a GREAT confidence boost. When Im talking to a client and were going over what type of lifestyle suits them and what type of look they are wanting to acheive, the moment always comes up.."I don't want to look like Im trying too hard".....

 Yes, that is key. To look good without looking like you've spent hours putting your outfit, primping and styling together. I am 100% supportive of women (and men) that want to change their appearance. To each their own BUT I do believe we have to draw the line somewhere. I see it often, and have friends that have gone a little collagen  crazy. After a while those get don't know where to draw the line all start to look like each other...

Okat where am I going with all this? Megan Fox. She's a beautiful woman, no matter what. However she is starting to cross that boundary line and aging herself with all the work. Her appearance has been ever changing and good on her for trying different things to see what she likes the most. But, I do hope she stops...okay, not stop, slow down. Her brow bones and cheeks are starting to look very harsh and chiseled. I don't mind the lips at all, I think she kept that moderate but her eye area has dramatically changed.


So, for anyone getting work done or making their revisit appointment again, keep in mind there is a line. Don't come close to it and if you've already crossed it, give you body a break for a bit. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but scary is universal...

Elegant Updo



I love sleek hairstyles, I like hair to be out of the face and adorned with a little accent of some sort. I bought this retro pin a little while ago and turned it into a hair accessory. Little secret of mine, when my hair is up in a fancy design it usually means my hair is dirty and to save time before going out I wrap it up in fancy do. Its much easier to work with updos when hair is dirty, if its clean it just becomes harder and more work to get every hair in the right place. I like this look, could be used in a wedding, photo shoot, business dinner or if your that type of lovely lady, you know the kind Im talking about

Summer 2012




Summer 2012 style is definitely showcasing mint green and seafoam green colors. Natural, airy and fresh. Match it up with silver, gold or black as I did with my eyeliner. I kept the makeup color subtle but noticeable enough. How sexy is this bikini I found on The Ugly Panda Tumblr?? So fresh, love it!


Be-Bop-A-Lula





First time attempt at doing the rockabilly hair. It was actually easier than I thought but I have to perfect it still.

Nothing like some Stray Cats to get me in the mood..

Navy Blue



Sometimes all you need is a little slight pop of color to change up your every day makeup style. Im definitely one of those women that believes liquid eyeliner is a VERY good friend...that and mascara.
