vintage hair
I was asked to work again for Unique Vintage for the new Micheline Pitt collection! This was inspired by Blade Runner! The photos by Susie Delaney are out of these world! I used all green Hot Sticks to set Micheline’s hair. For the futuristic play on Rachel’s hair in the top bun, I applied Lady Luck Brand Pomade to silck Micheline’s hair up into a high ponytail sitting just off her forehead. I slipped an oversize bun form thru the ponytail and then neatly tucked the ponytail in.

Early October I was invited to come out to New York to shoot with Gretchen from Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing. I had actually been a huge fan of hers (being a seamstress myself), and was delighted when I had to chance to do her hair when she visited Los Angeles the month before for the Dita Von Teese show.
We shot Gretchen for her 5th sewing book at Shameless Photography in Brooklyn, NY. We stayed with fun, flirty vintage style!!!
Gretchen's main objective to her new book is fast and easy! I wanted the hairstyling & makeup to reflect that as well. We changed up the hairstyles with the flow of the dresses.
I typically start out with hair down and more casual looks and then transition to more advanced into evening. Here you can see that we began the day with hair down and went into a 1940s style victory roll style.
Day two I started with hair down, went into a faux bumper bang into a more 60's updo option.
Traveling for work has always been a dream of mine, so when I get to do it - it's a treat! Thank you Gretchen for having me! We are doing another shoot together in the new year! 2018 will get off to a great start.
A few months ago I was asked by my close friends Micheline Pitt to help out with a special secret project she was working on with vintage reproduction giant, Unique Vintage.
Working with Micheline is always a highlight for me. Her vision and imagination has no bounds. I love getting her inspirational pictures and making her visions a reality! I still enjoy working in the salon every day doing color, cuts and styling - but there is something so special being put to the test and working my creative muscles out.
We had such a great day shooting with Rachel Sadorey. I did classic vintage waves and changed the hair to a more Hedy Lamaar style.
