12-12-12 Wedding - West Seattle, WA

12-12-12 the date everyone was excited about! I had the honor in doing a Brides hair for her special day on this date. I had only met this Bride once before, at her trial run we did together months previous. I posted an ad on Craigslist to anyone who was in need of an onsite stylist for their special day and she contacted me within the first 24 hours. The trial run went great, but on the day of she decided to add more curls and softness to the updo - I'll put both so you can see the difference. The day of hair was beautiful! I'd have to say, one of my favorites! 

The wedding was taken place at the Sanctuary At Admiral . It was AMAZING! I've seen my fair share of wedding locations and this one was truly amazing. I think I may be partial because I love Christmas so much,  they had the place decked in garlands, lights and holiday cheer. 

The gorgeous bridal suite was huge - I could only get a picture of the bathroom, but how pretty is that?! 

 

 She had such a a great head of hair. Thank you Nancy for giving me the opportunity to do the hair on your special day.

Blonde to Brunette

There is nothing I love more than when somebody comes in wanting a complete style change, or what most people call a "make over". This could entail anything on any level of being drastic or not. Change is drastic for most people, and I personally think it's a great thing. Especially when it comes to your hairstyle. Color, the length of your hair cut, bangs, even switching your part can make a huge difference when it comes to your appearance.

This leads me to my next creation. This guest is one of my favorites! I've been cutting her hair for years. We've switched back and forth on lengths of her bob a few times and she's been a Blonde since the first time we've met. On her last visit she mentioned she wanted to be noticed as a Brunette, rather than a Blonde like her friends tell her she is. 

I had just started doing color again and this made me so excited to give her a big change. She put all control into my hands and trusted me to come up with something that would compliment her.

I still wanted to keep that pretty gold tone to her hair and have some of those high lights peek through as the color faded - so  I decided on a warm dark honey brown. I was so pleased with the outcome. Her blue eyes popped and it gave her a fresh new look. 

See for yourselves below :) 

Thank you Kay for exciting my day!
