Beauty – Pittsburgh

If I had to describe myself to a stranger... I would say I am all heart. I put 110% of myself into everything I commit to. I am a go getter. I am Hard- working and determined to succeed. I don\'t give up easily. I am very open- minded and I am constantly looking for new sources of inspiration. As a Hair Artist I try to capture a mood or a feeling in my Model\'s look. To me it\'s not just a hairstyle I am creating...it\'s a statement. What does my hairstyle communicate to the observer? Does it scream out rage, power, confidence, obsession? Or does it quietly whisper innocence, grace, tenderness, submission? A hairstyle is not merely a hairstyle....it is a communication between artist, model, and observer. It is finding what you want to say..what you want to be seen and understood, and putting it on display in a form open for interpretation. The observer can take away from each piece what they grasped most. Was it merely the geometrical aspect? The curves? The lines? Or is it perhaps the texture of the style? A smooth, shining canvas, full of appeal...and calming fluidity? Or a rough, wiry texture? Which inclines a sense of unsteadiness? I think the bottom line is I am just constantly searching for a way to express myself. My visions. My idea of what beautiful is. Hoping I can inspire someone else to express their own vision. We all have room to grow.
