My Barbie's have come to Life!!

   EEEK!! I am so excited! I havent blogged forever on the subject of hair so first off apologies are in order... Im sorry I left you hanging! I have however been working working working! Still taking on my clients and side jobs! I am very excited to share that I have a Wedding Party booked at the end of September. I had a meeting/consultation with the Bride about a month ago. She is so sweet, with such a unique look about her! The minute I saw her I was flooded with inspiration! To top it off she not only has a unique almost porcelain doll perfect face look she has a unique and exciting style! The best part? She is fun and free about her wedding! Im not so sure this one will go down in the books as traditional. In fact I am positive it wont! The consultation went so well we were all so excited! Even though I had to use my blonde extension in place of brown for the trial lmbo... which provided us some entertainment lol! Its funny because she is brunette ;) and before she left we booked the date!

  So tomorrow I have one of the Bridesmaids coming for color cut and trial updo aka time to play with my real live Barbie dolls! She happens to be one of my very long time clients who is the sweetest thing and referred the wedding to me! I have a very special place in my heart for her! Can I ad she drives from San Diego every six weeks to get her hair done by yours truly! I cant tell you how special this makes me feel! To have clients who know, love, enjoy, appreciate, and respect your work, well as a Hairstylist this is priceless! Its days like tomorrow that remind me why I started doing what I do! Im so corny but I am on the verge of happy tears as I write this blog because when I was a little girl maybe 7 or 8 Santa brought me a Salon Style Barbie doll head. I taught myself to french braid on it and that was it! I knew what I would be doing to make a living! Did I know how absolutely happy it would make me or how fulfilling it would be at the end of a long hard day? Nope not really but hey thats just icing on the cake! I am all grown up and my Barbies have too! I feel like that little girl all over again! Here's to a day of play! Stay posted if Kristen lets me I'll post some picture's!!

P.S. My Grandma (love her to pieces) told my Mom and that little girl... " Your feet will hurt, your back will hurt and you'll never have money in your pocket!" and in true "Liz" style I set out to prove her wrong... and that I did! Yes most days after work my "Dogs are Barkin" I have had to go to the chiropractor on more then one occasion for back issues but you know what?! I have money in my pocket and I couldn't be more happy! I was born for this and this is what I do!! Not too many people can say that! Love you all!
