beauty school day #200ish: mia farrow shapes

i was so happy that my friend myong was able to be my square
layers model. she usually does a pretty good job cutting her
own hair, but with my teacher pia's help, we flattened the shape &
texturized the perimeter. myong has some strong growth patterns,
so the cut required a lot of length adjustment & readjustment,
& variation in comb tension. the finished look is air-dried with some arrojo texture paste.



check out her adorably unique hairline!

design with one of bleach's dip dye inspired shades:

a while back, i wrote some words about how guido palau has shaped
my hair dreams for beauty school. we've been assigned to express
this personal connection through a styling design.

in terms of color, this is where my brain is sleeping.
i call this palette spearmint lagoon:


































i wish i could tell you what these images are. i've borrowed them from
well dressed for the apocalypse, a tumblr i like quiet a lot.

beauty school daze: model citizens

this has happened a couple of times. i scramble to find a model
for a really simple haircut assignment (which is a hard sell in
these non-winter/winter times) & then i reach out to an old
friend at the last minute, who i'm sure will not be available
because they're busy bees, but then they instantly say yes!

check it out! mindy was my one-length model & i finished
without poking her in the eye with my shears. victory!



& today i gave yz a soft a-line bob without stabbing her
in the neck. also, a massive career accomplishment.
