New Visitors and Catching Up With Others!

| Shikote

For some reason I didn’t take a lot of pictures last week.  I did a lot of nice curly cuts and threading.  A few new dreads clients came to the salon as well.  Here are the pics I snapped!

Linh is radiant!

Something I’ve noticed with a lot of Asian hair clients is their hair has been over-texturized.  This creates a fuzzy, broken look.  It also makes straight hair look thin and flat.  Over-texturizing anyone’s hair will make it look lifeless.  For Linh’s cut, I blunted her length and carefully shaped the layers to take out excess weight without using thinning shears.  Once her hair grows in a little more it will look even nicer!

Look at her long beautiful hair!! This is after I cut off a few inches too! I refreshed her layers, especially around her face.

See you soon!

We did a photoshoot last night at Grateful Dreads.  Mike Frieseman took the photos, and Diana Mellon did some modeling.  We had a lot of fun and created some really amazing shots.

Winter Months at Grateful Dreads

We’re mid-winter right now.  The snow has been dumping!  Grateful Dreads has stayed busy through hibernation time, and I’m so happy with all of the amazing people who walk in the door!  These are a few pics I snapped last week:
