Behind the Scenes, Windsor Marie Farie Short Film

Ronit Pinto is a local film director and artist. We collaborated on a short film featuring Windsor Marie as a beautiful fairie!

I used Princess extensions and a triple barrel curling iron to make her hair wavy then braided in the origami butterflies.

Dreads Parade!

Grateful Dreads had it’s first annual Dreads Parade!  We had a really good time!  It actually turned into more of a hang-out session than a parade which was nice.  Clients got to meet each other, and we all talked about hair and dreads and got to know each other.  Farmers’ Market was in full swing across the street, so we walked around the market too.  We’ve decided to have a pre Hash Bash gathering and parade to the Hash Bash as a group next May in addition to the dreads parade every October.  Fun!

Here are a couple pictures of the party!
