Hi Ladies!!! Thanks for stopping by! I'm here to network with blonde models (fake or natural, I love you both!) and to improve the quality of your beautiful blonde hair.

What do Marylin Monroe, Twiggy,  Farrah Fawcett, Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole Smith,  Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Pamela Anderson and last but not least one of the biggest female icons of all time BARBIE have in common? BEAUTIFUL SHINY BLONDE hair! Believe it or not blonding is a specialty and its very hard to find people that understand us! Orange hair? yellow hair? breakage? dryness? dullness? toning us too much and making us feel like a brunette? Yup, I know I've experienced all of those believe it or not and I'm a hairdresser who has worked at one of the top salons in MICHIGAN and I experienced all of the above. Very frustrating isn't it?

Well guess what? After all this pain and suffering that I went through I decided to do something about it and make a career out of it! I'm a blonde specialist at Bashar salon. I have worked under many talented and experienced hairdressers such a Debbie Miller (National Redken Educator) and Michael Maxim (15+years of experience).

and it doesn't stop there... it gets better...

I was also trained by both of the inventors/founders of Klix Hair Extensions (Kennice Kallabat and Maysoon Kattula) and I travel nationally to educate hairdressers on this safe (no heat, glue, tape, etc) and fast (60 mins of less for full head) method.

I have also worked with Kelly Cardenas, a paul mitchell platform artist  on stage applying klix extensions for special color effects. 

So why am I telling you all of this? Well, because...

My goal is to ENHANCE every models HAIR with the aid of hair extensions creating length for a more SEXIER supermodel (think Victoria Secret) look, or maybe just adding a few for thickness to make it appear healthier. I can also add a few for color dimension like bumblegum pink, royal blue, mahogany, or simply a light brown to add some lowlites for fall (without having to worry about how were going to get the brown haircolor out for summer) or even platinum pieces to BRIGHTEN up your blonde and change your look without the damaging effects of haircolor.  If your hair is short I can create a completely edgy look (taking a bob and adding length to one side to create the "victoria beckham" bob.

My style is very eclectic depending on my clients needs but I begin by focusing on what you have (the cut, the color, and the condition of your hair) and I perfect it before I ENHANCE with hair extensions. This method is safe (a combination of a silicone-lined micro-link and a "skin-weft"), fast (can put in between shoots for a variety of looks), easy (no complicated tools), and the hair (100%human hair) is reusable (and therefore more affordable) and can last for 6 months.

I offer complimentary consultations where I  will a look at your haircolor, your haircut and the condition of your hair. You'll tell me what you like and don't like and i'll give you my professional opinion and together well create the BEST blonde for you, i'll improve the quality of your hair, and we will decide if you need or want to accessorize (for a little more "oomph") with a few extensions.
