onward and upward.

it's been a crazy busy few weeks.

lots and lots and lots of victories.

first of all, i passed my state board exam.

please excuse my haggardness. 4am wake up calls

and hours of grueling tests will do that to a

would be cosmotologist. but alls well that ends well.

i passed! now, to find a job...

i worked on an amazing shoot with some very

talented people. see all the images HERE.

oh and "like" my fb page while you're at it, will ya?

spent the past week in vegas at paul mitchell the gathering

working with my favorite lady. i worked alongside some seriously

talented people and we busted out some seriously amazing hair.

life is good, people.

beauty shoots are my fave.

a couple of images from a recent beauty shoot with

DQP and au mauricio. some seriously talented people.

i'm honored to count them as colleagues.

i'm thinking about doing a tutorial for the second look.

tutorials are scary...and a lot of work.

we might be turning over a new leaf here, people.

gathered the team and tromped around trabuco.

the hair. the light. the styling. i'm obsessed.
