Seattle Trip

A few weeks ago I took a business/hair trip to Seattle, one of my favorite clients lives there we meet up either at her house or in Las Vegas (it is extra fun if I get to go see her though)I adore her, we are like family now. She had just moved to Fox Island and it was so fun to see her new place and that amazing Island, I am in love. Not to mention I could hear the "Christian Gray" helicopters during the night.

Heidi said that a lot of people really do fly their helicopters into Seattle and then head back over to the Island.. Must be nice huh?

Washington State is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and is on my list of places I could  and want to live. 

I loved that I got to wear my boots, scarves and jackets in June!! 

Here is a before and after view of my client Heidi's hair! 

As much fun as I had I really missed my Babes.. They usually come with me on these "hairy" trips, it was so nice to get away alone! My flight home was a red eye out of Seattle, to Philly with a 3 hour layover, then Philly to Chicago with a 2 hour layover, then finally to Grand Rapids! 

Next time I head out there I will be only a two hour direct flight! Looking forward to that... 

2012 In Las Vegas

Before moving to Michigan last year, I lived in Las Vegas and worked on the strip. I did hair at the Bellagio for 6 years and then opened up the Aria Hotel Salon and was there for 6 months before moving to Grand Rapids. Because the new year is soooo busy in the salons on the strip and I was west, I was able to help them out at Aria! I have enjoyed all of the time off work spent with my boys, but there is nothing like doing hair on New Years Eve on the strip. I have seen all sorts of things, celebs, drunks, freaks, huge A holes that yell at me in some foreign language saying volume as they pull their hair down flat towards their head.. "What"? but none the less 10 hours and 17 clients later it is kinda worth it... ;) After the long day I still managed to go to dinner with some great friends! oh and I didn't fall asleep before midnight this year! 

When I took this picture I remember sending it through Instagram and it was 8:00 pm AND 76 degrees.. I miss Las Vegas Weather.


One of my favorite long time clients is Jennifer Tilly, I was happy to be in town the same time she was and do her hair!!

These two little southern belles are also some of my  favorite clients as well! They wanted something up and fun for the ball that night!! 

Some of my Loves in Vegas! I am super sad I didn't have my camera out with us this night..
