My Blog bio picture
  • Hello World!

    I am so excited to be blogging again! I just had my own website created and am tickled to share it with all of you again. A lot has happened since the last time I blogged! I moved salon locations to Studio City and am currently working at The Style Lounge! It is the newest, retro, trendy upcoming salon in LA, come check it out! For those of you who don't know me, you must know just one thing, that Hair and Makeup are my passion in life. I live for beauty... I dream of hair colors, cuts, and styles at night, and soak up all the creativity that my eyes can catch during the day! I love to do it all makeup, brow shaping, color, cutting, updo's, and photoshoots! I have been so very fortunate to be a part of this industy, and love to keep all of you up to date with styles, trends, and my latest work! So stay tuned for whats next to come!

September a great month… our birthday Month!

I never really share any personal info about myself or Mr. Ariann, but now that were married, my business is growing, and everything has been falling into place so perfectly, I figured maybe I should incorporate a little more of me into my blogs…

So September 1st, 2011 oh how I love September the weather should start to cool off, the leaves in no time will start to fall and towards the end of the month my hubby and I will turn one year older 26 to be exact. We were born four days from each other him the 24th and myself the 28th. We are so much alike and at the same time can be so very different. We are fortunate to share the same goals, dreams, wants and dislikes, and I know that this year of 26 is going to be the year that we take our lives to the next level. Together we will work our butts off to make this year an important year for the rest of our lives!

In honor of our birthday month of September I want to do a little special promo: Every Haircut ( male or female) will receive an eyebrow wax at 15.00 vs the original 25.00

Happy September everybody!

Please Keep Smiling, a smile is infectious and you never know whose day you can turn around with just a smile*

Michelle Gets Married!

Michelle and George have been together for quite some time, and Michelle like myself has planned this wedding for quite some time! I know Michelle and her sister Danielle quite well since the two of them became such sweet clients of mine! I love when i get a text from either of them that they need their hair done, because they are the two nicest girls you will ever meet! Michelle and I spent 2010 planning our weddings which were a month  a part, with similar taste and style we both seemed to have a lot in common with the WEDDINGS! One of the major people we shared was the wonderful Ala (loveala.net) for photography, she knows how to capture our personalities in photographs and did so very well with my lovely Michelle!

I can only take credit for Michelle (Bride) and My sweet Danielle (sis/ maid of honor) to the left of bride Hair and Makeup*

Mr. and Mrs. Fernandez

I knew since the first time Andres told me about Ashley that this was the girl he was going to marry! I have known the groom Andres since i was twelve or thirteen years old, we became good friends in high school, and have continued being family friends ever since! I will never forget the day he told me about Ashley, I have never seen him light up that way… he had a smile from ear to ear and could not stop telling me how wonderful she was! I remember telling Ariann that night “Andres is going to marry this Ashley”… I am so happy to say I was right! He found his partner, his soulmate, his love, the one person who completes him, and I couldn’t be happier for the two of them!

I was thrilled when Ashley asked me if I could do Her and her wedding parties hair!

dont mind my face in this next picture!… those who know me know its my “focus face”

love this pic of Ashley’s maid of honor, its so sweet

had to post this ( me & my good friend Andres the groom)

congratulations Mr & Mrs. Fernandez

Karina & Kevin… A vintage chic Wedding

I have known Karina & Kevin for several years, and I was honored when Karina’s sister Mari asked me if I could get them ready for her sisters big day. These two sisters remind me a lot of my sister and myself, so to be with both of them on such a special morning was very dear to me. They were so calm, Karina was so relaxed i felt as though I was getting her ready for someone else’s wedding… For all of you “Natural subtle brides” out there I want you to look closely at these pics… Karina is such a natural beauty, she wanted nothing that was going to scream, just the best image of herself possible… and looking at her pics i definitely think i achieved just that! Karina still looks like Karina,  just a polished, classical version of herself!

I love love love this pic!… You can see the happiness in there eyes and the excitement in there smile! Sherry Johnson (photographer) this one’s my favorite!

Karina’s dress was absolutely breathtaking my favorite designer (Pronovias) you can see the shape and true beauty of this dress in this pic!

this wedding was so Karina, Peaceful, calm, romantic, and cute! with all details done to perfection!

I can only take credit for Marianna’s Hair and Makeup (2n’d from left to right) Mari you were radiant!

My Style Icons

I get inspired daily from colors, desings, art, and just sometimes simply nature! However there are some magnificent women who I feel just have it right… Those of you who know me know who my legendary icons are… but this post is for those of you who don’t… These particular women give me inspiration daily from colors, to cuts to makeup and eyebrows!

Lets start with mt #1 favorite Jennifer Love Hewitt

I chose this picture because I feel like it has it all in place! Jennifer to me is an All American Girl who knows how to make herself up without going overboard! I love Jennifer with bangs, she has a slightly big forehead so she rocks the soft not always there but there bangs! She looks good dark and light but i prefer her in the darker chocolate zone. She inspired this color and cut….

My #2 Girl is Victoria Beckham

No one in the world embodies a sense of style like Vitoria in my opinion. She knows how to be sexy, not slutty and knows hot to push the envelope when it comes to class! In spite of all this she turned a bob into THE BOB and i admire her hairstylist for putting this classic cut on her and making it a “new look” that everyone must try at least once in their lives!

About three weeks ago I got the pleasure of tapering up one of my favorite clients Sabrina Mangola’s cut from a comfortable bob to the Beckham bob and im in looove…

my #3 Jennifer Anniston

Hair at perfection…right? every time I see Jennifer i literally sit in awe wondering what formula her stylist used to low light her and what toner he used because…its just magical!

I love her, she is just simple, clean, and beautiful!

my jennifer look a like is my sister Vanessa, I am always doing Jennifer changes on her!

Those of you who know me personally, know that I am not a fan of Red; However please do know that when the RIGHT person does red the RIGHT way, there is nothing better! When you see their skin tone change right before your eyes, you know you got it RIGHT!

ONE picture that blows me away every single time i see it… this one of Juliane Moore! nobody does red better than this! it is perfect with all three shades of red flowing though it! she has a woven buttery soft golden highlighight throughout a burnt copper base, perfectly low lighted with burgundy ribbons! the combination is just bliss to my eyes!

From Striking red to Smooth Blonde… I smile every time I see this girl wether it be in person performing, or on tv, or even in print; Everything about carrie is just always so so pretty and sweet! Her hairstylist is the master of blondes, Carries soft platinum is every girls blonde dream! not too ashy, not too gold a perfect shimmering neutral.

The Queen of Beauty. Catherine Zeta Jones… If there is one person that i had to choose to look like for the rest of my life i would choose her! Everything about her is just flawless. Starting with her hair: it is thick, long, natural and layered just the way I like!. Next her eyebrows…omg basically my guide to shaping brows!! Long, full, not too dark with a hunting arch! Her nose, every girls dream. and I chose this pic beacause her makeup is glowing, and smoking in all the right places! thank you catherine for being such a classy, regal, role model to so many of us!
