Modern Salon Magazine

Underground Fairy just made into Modern Salon Magazine today! We photographed in a secret location, and maybe you can even guess! We enjoyed ourselves immensely on this shoot.

My dear friend and talented photographer captured a whimsical series.

I used L’Oreal Professionnel Dia Richesse to tone lightened extensions and lots of Infinium Hairspray #3 and flower pieces I handcrafted.

As with any photoshoot, it takes a team of dedicated professionals to make it happen. Our model Monika Ka was a great delight, and we enjoyed working with her very much.

Lifestyle/Advertising Photo Shoot

We had a great time working in the studio for this Lifestyle/Advertising photo shoot with photographer Liz Caruana, a fabulous people photographer located in San Francisco!

I wanted to keep the hair looking relaxed yet with some texture for this photo shoot, using L'Oreal Professionnel's Texture Expert products. On dry hair, I sprayed Fresh Dust throughout the hair, then lightly dusted True Grip throughout the hair. My small crimping iron came in handy to give density and fullness to a side ponytail hairstyle.

Working with photographer Kristina Varaksina opened my eyes to what it is like to meet your creative match and to see how hair can be a focus in fine art photography!

Try at home!

Wedding Photo Shoot

Photo shoots are an excellent way for me to exercise my creativity. I love the camaraderie on a shoot, where "the team" is working on a common goal of getting fabulous pictures. The purpose of this shoot was to create a series of bridal looks.

The team consisted of photographer Kristina Varaksina, beautiful designs by Joseph Domingo, Makeup Artist Chloe Rainwater, Model Lindy Castro, and flowers by 7 Victoria Street. Great group of inspired creatives! In bridal looks, detail is everything.

'For this series, I began with the looks that were the softest in texture to allow me to build the hair up with products as the day progressed. This shoot was ALL DAY!

I worked with L'Oreal Professionnel products, beginning with Volumetry and Volume Envy Mousse. Second look, I used some Infinium hairspray.

Third look, more Infinium hair spray, and the use of pins.
