Happy Halloween!!! Since I chose to forgo dressing up in a costume today, I thought it would be fun to try out a funkier do’… enter the Bunhawk or Bun Mohawk.
I received inspiration and instructions for this do’ from a blog, Hair Romance, I found on Pinterest…Great blog, check her out!!!
I’ve been loving the look of vintage inspired glam waves lately and wanted to try it out on myself in a way that did not require finger waves! I came across a photo/demo of Lauren Conrad on Pinterest and tried it out today!
Here is a link to the website, BeautyDepartment, with instructions on achieving the look.
I used their placement of curls, but used hot rollers (that I had to dig out of my closet and blow the dust off!) instead of the curling iron. Yesterday I attempted the curling iron way and it wasn’t as successful.
I started with smoothing Moroccan Oil along the ends of my hair.
I put the hot rollers in and left them for about 45 minutes until they were completely cooled.. did my makeup and finished some coffee in the meantime ;)
After taking them down, I hair sprayed with Davines Crystal Fixative (ultimate fav hairspray) and let it sit for a few minutes before combing.
After combing to desired smoothness, I sprayed one final time!
Love it!
Confession: I just took advantage of an afternoon of last minute cancellations by completely pampering myself! I started my afternoon at my local fav, Revive Day Spa, with a manicure/pedicure with Karen (my lovely Mother) and let me tell you, it was AMAZING! I actually fell asleep during my pedicure and did a little reflex kick while she was trying to polish, hahaha!
Today we went with a deep coral most all of you ladies know, Cajun Shrimp, on my toes. And love my shellac nails.. today I went with a lovely nude shade called Cocoa. The shellac is wonderful, especially for me with my hands shampooing and coloring hair most days. It lasts at least 10 days for me, and regular polish will barely last a day!
Oh, and sidenote.. There are a few days left to take advantage of the pumpkin facial with Sarah! I had one last week and it was heavenly. Call Revive to book.. 479-695-1634
After my appointment, I headed over to the new Bath Junkie on Dickson Street and little did I know the pampering would continue… I was so privileged to have the founder of Bath Junkie help me mix a perfect fragrance just for me.
If you’ve never gone there, it’s a must! I also learned from Judy that Bath Junkie originated in Fayetteville and is now a nationwide franchise, so cool! The ability to custom design your fragrance, type of moisturizer and the color of the product is such a treat. I went with the salt scrub, body dessert moisturizer, and fragrance mist with notes of amber, vanilla lace and harvest in a peachy fall color :). They are running a special now: salt scrub and body dessert for $40, great deal for amazing products!
Wishing you all a lovely afternoon like this in the near future!

This weekend my beautiful cousin, Veronica, got married and I was honored to be a bridesmaid and her stylist :)
Unfortunately, we were so busy getting all the girls ready so I missed the opportunity to snap pics… but I got one more of her niece, Noelle.
Congratulations Veronica and Jordan!!!
Today I had some very lovely blondes sit in my chair and just wanted to share some pics…
First I had Kirsten come in for some lighter blonding. Who says winter is for going darker?
Then Page came in for some extensions to fill in the front hairline. Hair sheds the fastest around our face so that is why some ladies have a harder time growing their hair longer around the face. We placed 30 extensions for fullness and length in front.
Lastly, Caroline came in wanting to richen her blonde with an ombre shade and I am so happy she did! Its absolutely beautiful on her.
Today I’m trying out a fun braided pony I saw on Pinterest called the Boho Braid….
I pretty much followed the tutorial on the Beauty Department website.. keeping my natural part and doing the reverse french braid. This style took a little longer, but I love the fun, undone look!
