- Long layers
- Highlights and lowlights
- I never had my hair so straight before
- She wanted lighter - it was difficult keeping away the orange. Not entirely successful :(
- She was happy, though.
- A total makover from A-line straight to natural curls
- She's still wearing her hair this way!
- Long layers and a little bit of color to break up the dark brown
- Some tone on tone highlights, slight V in the back
- Short and no fuss
- Natural waves work well
- My first African-American client - all she wanted was a wash, blow dry and flat iron. She kept saying, "closer," I kept saying, "I'm going to burn you," she kept saying, "I don't care." Took me 4 hours. She was a patient, insistent teacher. I can still see some frizz in front.
- A-line and sleek
- Her back was naturally curly - a bit of a challenge
- It worked!
- This young lady came in with 3 shades of blond and red and wanted very light blonde, all one color.
- Three process color - with a lot of help from Emmanuel - the results speak for themselves!
- Basic men's haircut
- Everything good except I should have trimmed those sideburns a bit.
- A little shorter this time to free up those curls on top
- Round layers
- Color, too
- Square layers front
- Square layers back
- Some A line and red highlights
- Looking good!
- Long layers
- Simple haircut
- Highlights, lowlights and a broken perimeter with some layering
- Modern bob
- And sassy, too
- Hair cut and relaxer, if you can believe it. Haircut was okay - relaxer didn't take.
- Asked to look like picture from the 70's - and she did!
- Shorter Still
- Just a dusting of the ends
- A real challenge - incredibly thick head of hair!
- Looks so good, I begged him to keep his hat off until he went outside, too nice to cover!
- Oh, David, you are too handsome!
- So much hair!
