Welcome to a (belated) new year!

Hello friends! I know we are now in March and spring is right around the corner, but I have just realized I have not posted a new entry since October! Wow. Unacceptable!
New Years Resolution for 2012: Post more entries!

With a new year, came some changes! I recently moved to a new place that I love which is in south Fort Myers bringing me a little farther away from work. The "snowbirds" are in full force here in Cape Coral, Florida. The traffic has been crazy lately. If it wasn't for how much they stimulated our economy I would be very annoyed!

Another change for the new year is my hair! I no longer have long flowing locks. I now have sassy short hair! I must say it was a big change but I am absolutly loving it!

also, we added a new member to our family....



Her name is Winnie, and she is a Teddy bear puppy. Yes, teddy bear is really her breed! It's a mix between a Shit-zu and a Bichon.

Now that I have you up to speed, lets talk about hair trends for the Spring!

This season is all about adding new twists to old styles! The retro style waves are all the rage on the red carpet, were seeing more celebrities go for the short Audrey Hepburn pixie cut, the 80's asymmetrical cuts are making a comeback, and braids have been everywhere from the runway to your local schools.

I love how now-a-days anything goes as far as hair and makeup is concerned.

Now that the warmer season is approaching, I am having more requests for highlights and lighter tones. Ombre hair is still a phenomenon because of its low maintenance and high fashion look. Blondes are wearing more platinum, icy blonde tones, redheads are going for more of a vibrant look and brunets are rocking the sun kissed honey highlights.

Since I haven't posted in a while, here is some fun photos of my lovely clients!

Halloween 2011

This year for halloween I was able to do a few different looks on myself and some friends of mine. In this post, I will post the pictures and give a brief description of what I did. I went to two different 80's nights, Zombicon, and a regular costume party downtown. It was by far the funnest year to dress up! Since I already posted my Zombicon pictures on the previous post, I will just post the 80's nights and the other party! Enjoy!


80's night #1
The girls let my dress them and do hair and makeup. It's pretty crazy that this is all my regular clothes but when you put it together in such a way, it can look pretty ridiculous!


For this look, I curled my hair to the max and teased it until it coulden't be teased anymore! When I think 80's I think big fluffy bangs so that exactly what I did! For the makeup, I wanted to do bright pinks and blues so I blended the two shades on my lid and topped with liner for the ultimate 80's look. I also used that same bright pink eye shadow for my blush. I completed the look with the brightest pink lipstick I could find!



For Jordan's 80's look I teased her hair in 80's fashion. For her eyeshadow I used a bright green all the way to her brows, and topped it off with the bright pink blush and lips.



Tanya has pretty short hair so a little teasing goes a long way! Instead of the pink lips, I went with a bright red to accentuate the outfit and her cute heels. For the eyes, I just used a bright blue on the top and bottom.



80's night #2
This time, we decided to go a little wilder with our 80's looks. This is the result!


This time, I went with black and pink on the eyes and I found these crazy lashes to acetate the look as well as a lightning bolt glitter sticker!


This is the other side. You can see my hair better in this picture. I did a lot of curls and even crimped some pieces!


Here we are in all of our 80's glory! They brought there own outfits, but I did the hair and makeup for them.


I truly believe I was meant to live in the era! It was so much fun getting ready! We even did a mini macbook photo shoot!




Saturday night Halloween party


My mother was going to a costume party as Cleopatra. She basically told me to do whatever so using Elizabeth Taylor as my inspiration, I created my own version.


I felt like cleopatra would wear more gold, so I created a look by blending the two shades together and extending the liner with blue liner as well as black.





Jordan was going as a dark angel. I created this looks using some clever line work using black liner, and glitter liner as well as a few shades of pink and black shadows. I didn't have black lipstick, so I used concealer as a base, then topped it with black eyeliner and set it with black shadow and it lasted her all night!
For her hair, I wanted to show off her eye makeup as much as possible so I teased it into a pompadour with the sides slicked to accentuate the look.





Me and my boyfriend decided to go as phantom of the opera and I was the angel of music. I originally bought him a mask but when he tried it on, it just wasn't working so I decided to paint him a mask instead!


For my Angel of music look, I wanted to have a modern victorian look. Since I just got my hair cut into a long bob, I had to add clip in extensions to my hair and style it to look victorian. For the makeup, I used golds and browns to go with the outfit.



My and my phantom <3



good and evil!



All in all, this was one of the most fun Halloweens I have had in a while! It's the only time of year you can really get fun and creative with your looks and people don't look at you like you have two heads! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the post :)

Happy new years everyone! I apologize for my lack of blogging lately! it's been about 6 months since my last post! My new years resolution for 2011 is to update my blog more! I've done a lot these past few months! We just finished moving Hair to be Different to our new location! It's about 100 square feet larger than our last location, its more visible on the road, and we now have a boutique room to display our inventory of purses, jewelry, candles and more! We are very happy to have it up and running! Here are a few photos of the new salon!









Other than that, I have been busy at the salon doing some fun colors and cuts. Also, I had some weddings latey so i got the opportunity to take care of some brides and bridesmaids. They say 2011 is the year of the Rabbit according to the Chinese horoscopes meaning lots more fun weddings to come! So far I have a few coming up this year and i am anxious to meet all the brides and work with them on there special day! Like I've said before, hair design and updo work are some of my favorite things to do at the salon! Here are some more styles I have done in the past few months.
