A pretty picture, but distracting.

This has a very pretty styles, but I believe the bobby pins and hair pins are very distracting. I do as much as possible to hide the pins. Using white hair pins hear the lace would be a better alternative. In her actual hair I would have used gold pins instead of bronze.

One month

This Sunday July 22nd, 2012 marks 1 month since Columbus Traveling Beauty Team was formed. Before that, we mainly all just worked independently hoping that someday we could work together again.

 I was doing hair so early in the morning with my old co-worker Samantha "Sami" Curmode, and having my newly discovered makeup Artist/ Lash Genius, Jaime Keel at the Holiday Inn out on the west side of Columbus. The wedding was being performed at the Darby House, which I later went to, with my things to place the veil on the bride.  I realized that as much as I would like to do everything on my own with bridal parties, it's just not reality. Larger parties I wouldn't be able to get  done in a timely manner.

I even went to a few makeup classes to see about adding that into my menu. As much fun it would be, I would never be able to do what I've seen on some of the bridal parties that I have worked on in the past. I could do it on a homecoming/ prom lady if need be, but not a bride!  Brides are starting a new life, and a bad makeup job wouldn't be a great first impression as the new Mrs.

Off to the second brides house I had to go to that day. It was only 3 people getting their hair done for this party, so I decided to do this one on my own (just the hair). There is where I met Alison Feamster, a very quite but talented makeup artist. We hit it off right away. We talked for just a few minutes about our plan of getting the ladies looking great for the wedding that was being performed at Franklin Park Conservatory. Alison really explained a lot about the makeup when she did each of the ladies faces. What colors would be best for each individual. I know my makeup classes never went over anything like that.

So, after a few hours of sleeping, I woke up at 3:00 in the morning with this brilliant idea. Why can't I just have a group of top notch hairstylist, makeup artist, and maybe even some nail ladies working together to make wedding parties and other people needing to look beautiful? Why do the brides have to do all the searching for themselves. Weddings don't need to be anymore stressful on planning, so leave it up to the professionals that have done this a time or two, so you can relax.

When we first started the name was still under my salon name plus and associates. But after talking to a couple of clients, we decided it sounded too law firm type. So off to talking to these talented ladies when Joy Macke came up with some brilliant ideas for a name, "Columbus Traveling Beauty Team" and everyone on the team loved it, we knew we had something special.

Well, with all this enthusiasm, we couldn't just keep quiet, we had to share it with everyone we knew, so it began! So, excited to share our first month together, and planning on several years, also!
