Ahh?... Button Much???

I have the cutest clients EVER! And this one just happens to be the owner of one very tiny, very lovely, very PORTLAND... Vintage Shop. That... Is in a trailer... Wanderlust! But then, I am not telling you anything NYLON magazine hasn't already told you.

SO, meet Vanessa (again). She is the sweet-sweet owner and vintage scout aboard the wonderful Wanderlust Mobile Shop. Currently located on NE Alberta & 21st, and open during the hours of 11-6 on Saturdays and 11-4 on Sundays. AND on last Thursday 4-9... Which happens to coenside with... TONIGHT!!!!! GO to there!... Buy a vintage dress than come to me and I will do you up all sixties like!

Vanessa came into Holiday this afternoon and went from long hair to Bob length, and if I may say, just one more time, she looks so cute! I totally need to start documenting the sweetness that walks out of my shop! That really does need to happen. I must share these beauties with the world, not hog their transformations all to myself ...

Another doozy...

Of a bluesy 60's do!!!

Eeek! I love these.

Is this starting to seem like The Shining to you? Sorry about that... I am really, truly just trying to get you, my curly haired maiden, into the correct hair chair. Like a trail of bread crumbs, Gretel, my only wish is to lead you home... I do not want you to have to visit some creepy old witch in a candy coated house before you find your way.

Okay, it is for me too, and my love for those which are your bouncy tresses!!!

If you are one to google such things as curly hair cutter in Portland, Portland curl cutter, Portland Oregon curly girl extraordinaire..

Oooor something along the lines of, Curly hair specialist, or Wave tamer, or Best stylist for curly hair, expert curl cutter, curly hair cut master, wave wizard, mermaid maker, Big hair bigwig, Curl boss... You know? If you have curly hair and you need a stylist with the know how to treat your beauties right, then, I hope, my dear, that the google gods send you my way with your waves.

(Wow, that was a bit much)

Maryanne Faithfull!

That hair and face!?!? What? It's too much.

She is such a button! I can't stop starring... I know it probably has something to do with the photo quality, but I am loving this haircolor... And the cut too!!! The cute little undies shot may have something to do with the whole mystique as well.

On Being a Business Lady

Doing Hair is fun! So much fun! Talking to clients is really a special aspect of my job too... Like, as equally as important to me as the sculpting of hair... But you know what I never knew that I was going to LOVE? The business part. Running a business is a lot of work! There are so many details that you need to consider and nurture and take care of on a regular basis, and well, I love doing those things now too??? This sounds crazy to myself, I never thought I was this way, inclined towards these "boring" aspects of running the show, but, huh? I am!

I love the feeling of being on top of it, of embracing the mundane order! And quite frankly getting shit done!

I used to say I was a double right brained glitter tornado, spattering my sparkles everywhere, but leaving a ridiculous mess behind.

Not any more. Now I am a deliberate and focused powerhouse of a business woman.

See the difference?

Quite.

(someone left me this song on Facebook when I was commenting on such matters -- I thought it was perfect!!! I could not stop grinning--ear to ear! About the cheesiness and the accuracy... And so I have made it my theme song)

Isn't she pretty?

I just like to make her picture from time to time, to remind you all of just how adorable she is...

Primping in the trailer, treats in the yard!

It has been a busy week 'round these parts! Among many firsts this week, I hosted a little wedding party at Holiday Hair Studio... It was the hottest day of the year but somehow we still managed to do ok!

I did hair and make-up for a Proud Mother, an Adoring Mother-in-Law, and The BEAUTIFUL Bride! And yes these are quite accurate titles (not just niceties). They were a really sweet trio! The mom was just about the cutest (tiniest) thing I had ever seen, out from New York! The Mother-in-law-to-be, being from the Midwest, Somewhere, I know she said, but I apparently can't be bothered with remembering any place between the two coasts (100 jerk points for me), anyway, she was just ticked with the whole trailer vibe and how whimsical everything was. She was snapping pictures galore!. There was a crazy punk-ish country band blasting out Billy Bragg covers and other great toe tappin' numbers from across the street at the Grill Cheese Grill... I set the ladies up in my shaded little garden with fruit and cheese and Crema treats! They seemed quite comfortable despite the heat, everyone who slithered by melting in the sun commented about how they wished that were their spot (kinda cute). I liked that the ladies just got to sit and chat for a while in forced relaxation before the big event.

The Bride looked really amazing!!! She made my work look easy, because she came in with all the right stuff... Meaning she just is naturally SO PRETTY.

In the end they all looked gorgeous, (if I do say so ma'self!).

And next thing I knew, they were rushing off to make big things happen...

Congratulations to the new couple!
