MY FIRST CLASS!!!

Hey everyone!!! I am so excited! I taught my first hair class today!  I have to say, it was a little nerve wrecking before, but I think I have a good way of explaining things.  It went really great, we had champagne, klondike ice cream bars, muffins, if I weren't teaching the class I mos def would have came through for the SNACKS!!! Oh yeah - so the class was really great, as far as hair goes too.  I shared my experience and some of the looks at NYFW S/S 2013 and F/W 2013 with some of my co-workers.

Here's some pic's:

First look I started out with was the Jeremy Laing look for F/W 2013 (above),  I think I did pretty good.  My hair model Tania has originally super curly hair, I had her flat iron her hair as super straight as possible since that's the look we were going for.  I used Oribe's Impermeable Anti-Humidity Hair Spray and a little bit of Light Shine Spray on her ends.  

Here are some pic's of the actual show backstage I did with Ramona Esbach from Oribe (below).

Second look I did was with Kien from Oribe, we did Skaist Taylor for their S/S 2013 show.  This was really fun!  Of course this was one of my favorite looks, shows and collections from NYFW.

I didn't really use much product in Meaghan's hair, she just got her hair colored so it was super fresh, which means it was super soft and silky.  I sprayed a little - and I do mean "lil" bit of Royal Blowout on her ends and some Dry Texture Spray all over, just to give her hair some grip since it seemed to keep slipping out of my fingers.  After the set was in, I flat ironed each section for a minimal time of 5 seconds, at the least, don't want to burn people's hair off.  After finger combing and brushing out Meaghan's hair, I finished her hair with some MORE (hahaha) Dry Texture Spray.  I told you that stuff is AMAZING!!! Just like I said on my Airwave/Blowdry tutorial.

I had such a great time doing this look, here at the salon (above) and backstage at NYFW.  Here's some shots from backstage (below).

How awesome are those shoes/knee high sandals?!?!?! I want those so bad!!! Those are mos def a must in my closet! 

Me and my hair models, Tania and Meaghan.

Thanks so much to Kien and Ramona Esbach from Oribe, for being such an inspiration to me and bringing me on your Creative Team!  Great thanks to my hair models for today, Tania and Meaghan, and of course to my co-workers for showing up to class today and supporting my path, work and passion.  

Hope this was inspiring for you as editorial hair is always for me.  Have a great week everyone!!!

XOXO,
