Now that I have your attention, NYC is most likely going to go back into orange level quarantine next week. That would mean no more in-person cosmetology services for the time being. 😩
.
I have openings this weekend and Monday. So if you’ve been putting off a haircut and want to look good this holiday season, now is the time to get it done! You can DM me for appointments. 💇

Earlier this month, I did @nicolemgordon’s hair Earlier this month, I did @nicolemgordon’s hair and makeup and she ended up on the cover of the @nytimes! She was featured in print and online for a story on how to dress for outdoor dining. She absolutely stole the show. 💖

We were inspired by Gwen Stefani and the 1960s for her high ponytail and classic cat eye look. We even deviated from her usual red lips to a pretty pink from the @janiebryant @esteelauder Mad Men collection! 💄

This is the shortest my hair has ever been and I absolutely love it. 🥰

I didn’t have a Halloween look of my own this ye I didn’t have a Halloween look of my own this year because I was working like a mad woman with @glamsquad! 💜
.
The coolest look of the day was from when I recreated Cinderella’s evil stepmother’s hairstyle for @kseniyagadh’s Halloween costume. Her daughter was, of course, Cinderella and her husband was the evil cat, Lucifer. 😼
.
It was really fun building this Edwardian hairstyle! I ended up cutting a hair donut in half and using that as filler, then spraying on the gray streaks. 🖤🤍

I took @mustafaavci’s class on Old Hollywood Wav I took @mustafaavci’s class on Old Hollywood Waves today, and I was blown away by it! I love learning different ways to achieve different waving styles. I love how much volume is left in the hair with Mustafa’s technique, and how defined the waves are. 😍

This look is giving me major Rita Hayworth vibes. 💋

I’m officially looking for hair models with long, thick hair so I can style your hair for free and take all kinds of pictures of it. 📸
