who’s the flat-est of them all?

Often times clients ask me what tools they should buy for styling their hair at home. The first thing I look for in a styling tool is how long is the warranty for. If the warranty is more than a year it means its a quality styling product. Second, I want to know how my client will feel using the tool on oneself. The last item of consideration is the price. I want the best product for the least amount money, yet I don’t want something that will break in a few uses.

I shimmied down to Target to see what they had to offer in styling tools. I picked up three different flat irons to see which flat iron would come out top.

1. Revlon 1” Straightener $24.99

The first thing I noticed was that there was no warranty at all. While using the flat iron, the handle became so hot I couldn’t even stand to use it. Then, when I ran it through my hair I could feel my hair getting caught and pulling out. It’s really cute, but that’s all it has going for it.

2. Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic 1" Silk & Curl Straightener
$34.99

This flat iron was amazing for the price. It has a two-year warranty and it didn’t pull my hair. The flat iron left my hair feeling soft and looking super shiny. PLUS its cute. Totally great, I love it!

3. CHI Air Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron with Thermal Clutch - 1" $84.99

CHI always has products that feel good, look good and work perfect. This flat iron lived up to the CHI name and it also has a two-year warranty. This iron glided through my hair effortlessly, but the price is a bit much.

The Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic 1" Silk & Curl Straightener & CHI Air Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron with Thermal Clutch are my top two picks. They both made my hair look and feel great while offering a great warranty.

My top Pick however is the Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic 1" Silk & Curl Straightener. It’s $50 less than the other and did the same job. I feel every one of my clients can use this styling tool with success and it’s great on the pocket book.

I found this little GEM in the heart of Arcadia and couldn't pass her up!

I was searching for a salon with soul, and I found it.

Holli Christensen Is the owner of Park Avenue. The salon is a part of the APS AAAME mentoring program for local small business. She was recently selected by the Phoenix Business Journal for the “Top Forty Under 40 Leaders of the Valley Class of 2011”!

Just last Friday we had an event in the salon. A client Sarah wanted to know how to use the three barrel curling iron was all about so I hooked it up for her.

I colored my hair Pink and Red. Its my Valentines hair and This is my favorite manicure latley.

Not about hair...Well kinda.

I was looking up information about my Zoom H4 recorder and I found this great video of this beautiful young lady singing Karma Police. She has more videos about the same recorder I have. She reminds me of vision, of inspriation, of people doing what they can to feel right in this world. I love doing hair but I also have a heart for audio recording. Audio is a beautiful gift we are blessed to have. We use it every time we communicate though we never reconize its exsistence. In my time I have heard that audio(sound) is touch from a distence. I totally agree with this. With that said take a listen to this woman and check out her awesome haircut - because I love it.

p.s. she is just hillarious.

Hey Ombre! 'How To' Hair Colour Technique.

Bee Jellyfish — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 22:46:10 +0000

I have had a lot of requests for a video on how I apply hair colour. The other day when my client Celena came in and said she wanted an ombre colour I jumped on the chance to make a video. She has never coloured her hair before. Needless to say, I was SO excited to get my hands into this do.

Also this past week I cut off my client Justice's hair. We have been growing it out for YEARS! so it was fun to give her a new look.

I cut this all with my NEW razor. I just took some Nick Arrojo cutting classes at the International Beauty Show so when Justice said she wanted a new hair cut that was shorter and modern I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do for her.

This week I did some of my favorite manicures yet.

This is my Bling-a-cure, I absolutely love this .

These are my Spectator Nails. Inspired by the old fashion shoes called spectators.

Thanks for reading and watching, I hope you have a BEAUTIFUL day!

Truly,

I was playing around with my new App. Its a Super 8 camera recorder, to help promote the movie Super 8. The movie came out in Theaters this past June. It was ok - I like the App way more than the movie!!!

Who Wants Ombre?

I love colouring hair. One of my favorite phrases to hear from a client recently is "Can you give me Ombre colour?" or "Can you Balayage my hair?" Here is a before and after of my latest Ombre colour.

This week has been busy! I have been giving bling to SO many ladies! Take a look at my Rockstar manicures. I was asked by a client this week for Rockstar French Tip. I had never done it, so why not try!? I love clients who bring me a new idea. Her name is Charity, thanks Charity you opened my service menu that much more. I showed another client the picture of Charity's nails because I was so excited how they turned out, then that client wanted French Tip Rockstar also. But this one with a little bling! So we added some diamonds. I was feeling a little left out so I added a heart diamond on my ring finger. I love making my clients feel beautiful. It's my passion, and giving them that extra bling makes it that much better!

This weekend I am off to Colorado Springs to check out the hot springs. I will let you all know how that goes. I hear they have anti aging qualities. So if I come back looking 12 I have accomplished my goal this Fourth of July. I hear the Renaissance festival is this weekend in Colorado, I am gonna hit that up too! Happy Fourth of July friends! Enjoy yourself, and be safe.

While I was in Las Vegas at the International Beauty Show a photographer from Tyra Bank's new fashion and beauty website, TypeF.com, took a photo of me. I will be featured on her website this month. I don't know about you, but I think that Tyra Banks is beautiful and crazy! The good kinda of crazy. Totally entertaining. One of my favorite shows to watch with my ladies is America's Next Top Model, the make over episodes. Guilty as charged! I won't lie, we can watch hours of it. I think it's the change factor.

In the clip for America's Next Top Model they go to a Sally Hershberger Salon. I love Sally Hershberger's cuts. I'm not such a fan of her product, but the way she cuts is amazing!
