WEDDING GIGG.

yall remember maureen? well, she asked if i could do her hair & a few of her girlfriends for a wedding held at the SF MARRIOT. which worked perfect, bcuz i was already in the area. they were not only attending the event as guests, but they were also performing! one cool thing that i haven’t shared is.. ive actually met maureen as a choreographer for a cotillion, that i was apart of during high school. in her college years, she was a member of this dance crew called 69 degrees. long story short, they sorta made a comeback just for this special night!

that Fancy Shmancy shit.

im sure most of you who have been following my blog for quite some time, noticed that i really like to sketch my ideas first before putting in any type of work. whether its nail art, clothes, & yes even hair.. one of my nail clients jackee was a featured make-up artist for a harajuku themed fashion show & asked if i could do something with her hair. she didnt specifically have any ideas in mind considering that she has an a-line bob, SO this was my opportunity to get creative. i love when people let me do whatever - its my only chance to truly show my ASADE skills!



due to the lack of length in the back, i knew that i could only work with the top & side areas of her hair - within a few mins of brainstorming, i came up with this design. something a lil pin-up inspired.



..& since im already on the hair topic, heres another one! this is maureen. she was attending a wedding & wanted her hair did. so, she contacted me asap with details of how she wanted it done. this style is actually a lil inspired by katherine heigl's movie, life as we know it. real simple, a big & loose french braided crown with a "messy" curl bun.

2 bridesmaids, 1 se$h.

yall already know, im all for the rise & grind - no days off type bullshit. i woke up super early to get these two girls, cheri & jennifer ready for hair + make-up! like bffs, they wanted the same thang. both got similar works with minor differences & in the end, they turned out simply beautiful.


5:30am. trust, starbucks was not an option.

cheri:

Excuse me, while I play catch up.

JILLIAN. long story, short.. this girl found me thru the hellz bellz blog & not cuz i blow up their shit with comments all the time. buuuut, after my homie brittany featured me as HELLZ GIRL OF THE WEEK jill claims shes been a fan of my asade work eversince. i was truly flattered, but nonetheless more than excited to help out a fellow hellz enthusiast.



during our hair sesh, communication was lightweight unclear on how she wanted her mohawk. the must haves were just braids/twistys. so, i played around with different variations. she didnt keep this look, but i thought this teased bubble-pinned piece was fuckn dope.


prom hair; mohawk with side twistys, coils, & cornrows

PABLO. he's one of my "regulars." peep the before & after tho o_O



with hair like that, its alotta work BUT somebodys gotta do it.

JENNIFER is actually my lil cousin, vannessa's homegirl. prior to our appt, she wasnt sure how she wanted her shit done. so i noted down a few things she'd like to have & presented her some of my sketches. which wins for the both of us - i create my shit & she rocks an original.


prom hair; double cornrow headband with 1/2 up&down curl bun + curls.

JEWEL normally, i wouldnt go out my way hella far for freelancing unless im working on hella heads for an event or somethin' but jewel is folks. we been homies since high school, so i mobbed all the way to daly city for literally a 15 min hairstyle lol. all good, she paid for my gas & treated me to a starbucks mocha frap. hollaaaa! :]


wedding hair [not a bride, but just IN the wedding] low topsy with fishtail braid.


& her fiance mark, is re-growing his tail [if you couldnt see the extra thickness ontop vs the bottom]. yeah, i had to work somethin' with that as well. hella cute tho, hi baby marissa!

CARMINA im basically the lavatoria's personal cosmetologist. forever stylin' their hair for formal events for the past few years now, which is pretty dope. theyre folks too!


prom hair; teased bubble-pinned mohawk with side coils.

Bridezillllla DEUCE.

currently workin' on my second bride-to-be; which who happens to be my bff janelle's cousin! in other words, my fambam also. margaret's wedding date is towards the end of june, so she wanted to set up a hair & make-up trial. you know, to get a feel of what she'll look like on her big day. for hair, she wanted to try a softer mohawk up-do that ive actually done on a previous prom client. as for make-up, margaret wanted to soley stick with neutral colors.



originally, i took a make-up photo of myself to present to margaret. showing her a possible eye shadow colorway that could work.



it was too dark for her liking, so i eased up on the mulch/tempting and tired to go lighter with goldmine. the results didnt really look like she had much on, so we decided to just go back to my original idea haha.
