Dear Seth,
This week on Lifetime TV’s “Project Runway” you really turned it out. You smoked the competition in the mother/daughter challenge. Seth how is it you are pulling off this whole dirty rocker look and you are a father in your late 30′s? Maybe we should go out for a drink or something. You will probably want to have a straight up double shot of Jack Daniels rocks with a cigarette chaser. I will have maybe a micro brew. We could be best friends. We can discuss the merrits of neck tattoos, My Bloody Valentine records, overly zippered shirts, plaid and houndstooth prints, spiky hairstyles, black nail polish, parenthood and life as striaght men in the design world. Then after we are both good and toasted, you can teach me how to wear a bandanna around my neck and somehow make it look cool. Good luck with the rest of the season. I will be pulling for you as you design one Hot Topic inspired look after another. Hit me up for a haircut when you come through Portland. BFF – Jeff D
The creative process has taken hold on a few of my recent clients. First up is my client Kate. Kate is a bit camera shy so I was only allowed to snap a photo of her color. I respect your need for privacy Kate. She came in with 3 inches of ash regrowth and solid blonde in her midshaft and ends. “You can do anything you want” she said. It was her thrid time in my chair. I took liberties and gave her some soft ash lowlights and touched up the highlights. This was the finished color.
A few weeks back I also had a new client Mariah. She has a super hip style. She wanted some funky color. Here I worked some reds through the midshaft and ends. I also put a few dark blonde panels in the fringe to help show off the long bangs I had cut.
I managed to convice my son Milo to allow me to give him a full haircut this week. I casually mentioned cutting his hair. I then changed the subject. ”GET SCISSORS” he demanded. My wife held him on her lap and he happily smiled in the mirror and I cut his 20 month old head. Hold still.
My biggest triumph this week comes courtesy of finacial GURU Dave Ramsey. I paid off the last credit card and I
used my
Scissors!
