Airbrush Make Up Amazing

As you can well tell by now, I love to be excited about what I do in the Hair and Make Up Industry. I've been in love with make up all my life, so learning to apply it to others was natural. However, now, I see even more of an artistic bend with the airbrush style make up. I haven't gotten into doing eye makeup with it, but so far I know I love foundation, blush and highlighter. The application is smooth yet barbie like! What a pleasant surprise when I airbrushed my first face. I was astonished. Now it is not better than regular foundation application just different. Pleasantly different.
Airbrushing make up is in my tool belt now. I'm not sure if I will phase out regular foundation application but I can see I will defenitely phase in the airbrush!

Besides all the good things I can say about the look and finish of the skin, I can exclaim, "It takes so much less time"! Wow! It went fast and it looks perfect. I'm really very tickled by my new found love of airbrush make up. chek out more pix at http://www.pamperryhair.com/

Having Haircolor that makes you feel Wow!!

So, to further my blog about how hair color can make you feel, let's talk about how a hairstylist can accomplish that Wow!! feeling.
Highlights can add dimension around the face for lightness. When dealing with a client witih grey hair, this helps tremendously. It helps camoflage the grey, brings lightness around cheekbones and eyes and draws light away from the face so that wrinkles and blemishes are minimized.
Highlights with 2-3 colors make a blonde go pop! Variation always makes hair look fuller, thicker; a trick of the eye. Warmer colors make one feel bright, cheery, alive while neutral tones feel confident, powerful, strong, calm. Redder blondes are firey, exciting, alive! Mixing up colors can give a feeling of Wow! too.

And as long as I've been doing hair, I think it's so important that "bleach blondes" get a clear glaze from time to time, if not every time. It makes hair feel smooth, shiny and alive. It helps hair look thicker, feel richer, hold curl/style better. Bleach blondes always get "stripped" but nothing gets put back like a hair color blonde does. So, whether you get your highlights done by me or another colorist, request a clear glaze to seal your hair and give it radiance and shine! check out more of my work http://www.pamperryhair.com/

Hair Color; does it feel?

Do you ever wonder why women really color their hair? I don't know exactly, but I know it's partly because of how we feel when it's done. When we look in the mirror and see the beauty of it all, we love it! Is it the shine? Is it the depth, the lightness? What is it? I don't really know but I do know that getting hair color, makes you feel happy, alive, beautiful, sexy, powerful, smart, confident and like a woman!
I generally color my hair every 3-4 weeks. I love the shine. I use Keune hair color in the salon and on my own hair. Its a translucent violet based color that looks believable and natural. To keep the intergrity of my own fine hair, I try to limit pulling through my permanent hair color formula. So, I mix up a color to pull through from the semi line. THis gives pure deposit and shine. My color stays fresh for 3-4. All hair color has a natural exit to hair, fade if you will.  So using semi permanent doesn't mean its not as permanent as permanent. The major differences will be: Permanent Hair color uses developers/peroxides meant to lift Natural hair color and utilizes Ammonia to do so. Semi permanents have no ability to lighten natural hair color because they are made Ammonia free and the peroxide/developer is very low. So, if my hair has already been previously color with permanent hair color, my hair is ready to recieve that semi permanent hair color especially if it has been recently shampooed.  There is an old wives tale that color takes better on  dirty hair; It does not!!
 (Hair should be free of styling products and recently shampooed for optimum color delivery whether using permanent and/or semi permanent hair colors.

changes?

I've been struggling with wanting a change. I get this way from time to time. Anyone who knows me long knows I have to have a new challenge, something exciting to try. I've done so many cool things, really I have. I've played pool semi-professionally, I've gardened to the point that I was a home garden tour, I've done education for http://www.Keune.com
I've recently acquired my State License to teach beauty school. I took up photography so that I could photograph models for my website. shoo. I do a lot, but I love it.
So what's next? hmmm. I'm working on it. I'll let you know as soon as I do!
psst! I hope to teach part time at the beauty school.

Prom Hair

It's funny when I tell fellow hairdressers, "I Love doing updo's", how they cringe and turn their nose up. Yes, they are intricate and can be difficult but I think they are so much fun. I Love to do Prom Hair and Make up! Call me crazy but I do. I dont' know if it's the giggling young girls with pictures of their dresses on their phones, or the excitement I share with them as they are describing their flowers or the happy surprise I get when they have many magazine ads of "the look they are looking for". Maybe it is all of the above, I don't know. But I love to do Prom Hair. I realize there aren't enough Prom Styles on my site, so I'm on the hunt for a few models. I put an ad out on craigslist looking for Prom age gals. I'm sure it will be fun and a "giggly" time!

airbrush make up

I love all things that have anything to do with beauty!! And I've been loving it a long time! I remember my first big make up job; I was making myself look like Boy George! He was so popular when I was 11 that I had to have his look. It wasn't uncommon for me to give myself hair cuts either! There wasn't a fingernail polish I didn't try and I think I was the only 11 year old with finger nail extensions. They looked good too! So, was it any surprise that I went to beauty school? It shouldn't have been, that's for sure.

I got in to a conversation with a peer the other day about "air brush" makeup. So, I thought to myself, "hey, I should know how to do that". so, here we go. I also would love to start uploading some videos of make up application, temporary individual eye lash extensions, and high glam looks. I will be applying to models, so you can see how it works out to do anothers and not just my own. I may do my own, but we'll see!!

summer time fun

It's been a while since I've blogged. I love to journal so I don't know how I neglected this blog. I haven't been doing any photo shoots. I decided to take the summer off for my other hobbies, like reading, cooking and relaxing! It was a crazy busy time with the previous photo shoots. I enjoyed them but they were a lot of work. I would love to do them again in the fall however, I will go back to my initial interest. I will do headshots with elaborate or glamorous make up and hair. I tried doing full body shots that mimicked magazine ads but I feel better pleased and satisfied with the headshots.
I think I need some new pictures of myself up on my website. So, I may get to working on that. I do have a tripod, lighting and a camera with a timer. I may give that a try. Self portraits with a camera phone.. not so fun!!
I am still loving my little private studio environment. I tend to be the type to keep to myself while working and I do get plenty of socialization from my clientele. My clients seem to love the private studio enviroment too. I may do a little redecorating in the. Some new curtains and pictures may be what gets changed, but it will feel different. I think I'm ready for florals and stripes.
