Nothing screams Classy Bride more than a precisely placed headband!

Hey Everyone! Here is one my April Brides, Nicole. she was just stunning!Nicole works for American Salon and we met when she interviewed me for the Article http://www.americansalonmag.com/salon-business/big-fish-small-pond-8. It was one of the first pieces of press my shop got!!

She was lovely. she opted for regular make-up and her hair - all hers. she went with a simple half up half down and as you can see her look was a perfect compliment to all of the details of her day!

And her  pics - incredible! A special thanks to Amy and David Lau for the beautiful images they provided me with!

I can not thank you and Marena enough for doing such a fabulous job on myself and all 8 of my bridesmaids hair!   You both captured the look that we all wanted for the day, even now when I look at the pictures I am still amazed at how beautiful our hair came out.   Thank you again so much!
Here are some professional pics for you from my wedding 3/20/10!  There were not many taken of the back of my hair or the girls but I thought these showed the styles off great.  My photographer was Elisabeth Millay www.elisabethmillay.com.

One of the top reasons I love my job so much is that I get to meet AWESOME people who are celebrating something wonderful!!!!  - on a holiday weekend it’s all the better because I actually get to go to many, many celebrations instead of one big drunken BBQ, haha! Although we are far from BBQ’ing ………… we are having a blast sharing a magical day!!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to work with 6 amazing women……… 4 of the 6 are shown below! It was a great time! i did squeeze in some time for fun. On 4th of July after my two weddings, Steve and i headed out to Coney island for our annual Cyclone ride and Nathan’s Hot Dog. On Monday I relaxed Poolisde and it was wonderful. We bought up our pup to my father’s and we lounged Alllllllllllll day long!! I hope you all had a happy and healthy 4th!

From Maria, July 2  - - “We had an AMAZING day indeed! I got so many compliments on how beautiful I looked and I have to thank you for that, you’re the best!!Once I have some better quality pro pics I will pass them along to you. Thanks again :)

From Amy, July 4

Thanks Michelle!!! The girls and I all loved are hair!! Everything was amazing :)
