Hey Angel,

Maybe also you can critique what we've done.  For instance I got some critiques on my book and I wouldn't have paid as much attention to the hair because it's not my thang so to speak.  So in these instance the hair is messing up my makeup...But the critiques were dead on and great so maybe you can see what we've done and tell us where we are going horribly wrong..lol

From what I've seen in your online book, things look good to me.  I can see one I would have gone a bit of a different direction with but still would have kept in the manner you did it.  I think once you feel more comfy doing things you already can do that you'll feel a lot better about presenting both as work you should be proud of.  Honestly I'm liking what's there with a little tweeking that comes from patience and practice   Make sure you bring your book when you come to Cyn's and we can discuss further how to make things more of what you want to see and can be proud of.

If going to NYC, Detroit, Chicago and possibly LA isn't on the road I don't know what is lol.  We've also discussed taping the Toronto workshop and making a DVD out of it.

This is a great option for me.. NYC is a bit of a trip for me 4 or 5 hours.. I do need help though bad.  I need to make my work neater and since hair isn't my first love I see it through another set of eyes.

Well once you learn a few tricks you'll be able to see your hair work with the same critical eye you examine your makeup work with, I firmly believe that the phrase education can take you anywhere is true.  Once you learn a few things you'll be able to build up on a lot  of the things you can learn easily   Anyone who can apply liquid liner precisely can do hair if you have the faith and patience to apply the same skill and precision

Angel where you been???  What's UP?

I'm languishing here with my lack of hair skills. 
You got the pull out couch.  I'll even vacuum all the cat hair off it first. 

lol oh how kind!  Bring your long haired sister over too so you can learn those cool braids!
I have a new cell and stuff now but the same old email s I'll message you my new numbers and we can start sorting things out again.   MJ is a travel agent so I'll put her on the look for a cost effective flight or something back out there   I'm going idly nuts out here in cowboy land    I want to come home!!!

I soooo don't have the patience to read all of these responses, so I don't know if this has already been said, but I'd say you charge your regular day rate for like a group of 4 people so you're not all over the place (you know one of the biggest problems in education in this country is over large classes! =P).

lol yeah if you'd been able to sift thru the posts you'd see we had a class planned for them to learn basic skills in a size of about 4-5 and spend the two days at it so they all had time to learn and practice over and over to be sure they were confident. . . it just happened that we all got busy over the spring and summer and then I left NY/Toronto when my visa expired so we're picking it back up again but thanks for your input.

I really think I would.. Cyn can I bunk with you???...lol   I really need to learn.. Too many times I'm on a photoshoot the photog looks at me and says "OK, change her hair"  I'm like homie what do you want me to do??.. :-D But I take the spray and comb and try to mimic something I saw in a magazine and hope works

xD

Thinking of doing any seminars in L.A.? For some reason, I can do complicated updos and crazy avant garde hair (er, crimp, hot iron curl, back comb and put in rats + pieces- I'm sure I'm doing it all wrong), but I would like to know how to:

-give a proper blow out

-backcomb properly (I always have to overdo it, because it will fall in 30 minutes)

-how to do a curler set (for a full look and a Veronica Lake look)

-how to curl with a flat iron

-give a guy a trim on the sides (would that be too much to ask for?)-  a few times I've been on a job (all commercials) where at the last minute the client wants the talent's hair trimmed- I do it, then hide it with product.

I think all of those requests would certainly fall into what we're planning to do when I come out to California   Fizza got copies of some thing to try and help her learn from me already but she has similar requests as well for when I come.  I won't be able to handle a Cali trip just yet with family things coming first but it is surely in the works.
Feel free to PM me your contact info and we can keep in touch about when things are opening up and what else you'd like to see from a workshop

Hey,  I have spent hours online searching a hair class.  I'm a makeup artist looking to have some basic knowledge and feel more comfortable when I say I do light hair.  Is this class going to happen?  or did it already?  What can I do to contribute to making this happen?

All you have to do is ask lol We did the smaller NYC workshop already but could certainly do another if there were enough people interested

Oh i would love some basic hair styles techniques...specially how to create different hair pieces with hair extension, hair nets, and clips.

too bad im all the way in FL

Certainly do-able your requests but again unless there's enough artists interested it's hard to say yes to a workshop in FL just for you lol could get pretty spendy in a hurry

Yeah I was thinking something along those legal type lines myself, like if I teach you something and you screw it up do I become liable?  I honestly wouldn't get into anything that couldn't be washed away so the liabilty factor would be minimal.  I have no intentions on teaching an ISO perm course or a fusions course but just something simple you guys could do if you get into a bind without a hairstylist present.  I have 0 intentions of teaching bridal stuff so don't ask and no I won't teach you guys how to finger wave, that will cost you lol but after fixing so many of these 1/2 assed attempts of MUA's trying to make a pony tail with bobby pins and elastics and trying to hide it or the pins with little success I gave them a crash course in how to do it right and showed them why it's done this way and not that way and they all seemed to nail it rather quickly, turns out they got a 3 week crash course in school where months of hairstyling was thrown at them and they were sent off to practice    So you think it's possible for something like that to happen?  And with the proper motivation I could be persuaded to come teach you something but there will be payment involved and oh yes we will be going to Bloomingdale's when I come down oh yes we will
But then, it was brought up to me do I do this from the kindness of my heart or should I charge a door fee like at a keg party lol?

My school only gave us a 3 day crash course.. and I`m completely hopeless at hair.
I wish there were more hairstylists in my area willing to give me a few lessons.

Charge a fee for sure.
