Again!

It's been so long again! This is crazy but we are all still here. I guess we could look at this as a good thing there have been no posts because we have all been so busy! So we left off at Nashville Fashion Week (forever ago...that was March!) and since then we have worked with Marchesa and the Nashville Symphony. That has most definitely been the highlight of my career and the girls and I are so incredibly honored to have worked with such an inspiring team. Two amazing women who have taken all things glamorous and sparkly and turned it into a sophisticated, world-renown empire pretty much right out of fashion school... What's not to love?! So thank you a million times over to the Nashville Symphony board members and Marchesa's Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig for allowing us all to be part of such a magical evening. It was truly a pleasure. And who says up dos have to be smooth and polished! Imagine a softr, less wide version of this under a veil or with a classic evening gown. So chic, modern, and fresh!

So that covers April...



In May, the lead lady behind salonNfuse took Las Vegas and Oribe's Backstage event by storm. Steph was lucky enough to fly to Vegas for a long weekend full of education, networking, and of course partying. She was taught by the one and only Oribe and the rest of us that were left behind get to have the class recreated for us in August so we will have to post our results and fill you in on what actually went down there...all I know is there is a new product coming out that you all will LOVE! Let's just say it will be the product that will bring us closest to Miami's South Beach without us leaving Nashville and with all the glamour and big hair-ness that is Oribe. I can't wait to try it!

In June while many Tennesseans were out in the lord-knows-how-hot heat at CMA Fest and Bonnaroo, all of us had the pleasure of being in the very well air conditioned guest locker room at LP Field. Once again we were lucky enough to participate in Nashville's biggest draw, CMA Fest at LP Field. In between all of us sneaking out to watch our favorites each night we were doing hair and make-up behind the scenes at the festivals biggest event. We had the opportunity to not only work with country music's biggest names and their bands, but some new-comers and non-country folk as well. We saw everyone from Chris Young to Amos Lee, and the new trio that is Pistol Annie. We even had the Governor of Tennessee Bill Haslam in our room! That is always a fun (but exhausting) event.

In July we have slowed down with all the extras enough for all of us to enjoy a bit of summer and just being in the salon! With all the new 70s inspired hair, feathers, and beachy highlights we are all keeping plenty busy! Here are some of summers biggest looks that you should keep in mind next time your in!

A feather and new red hair! Right on, Drew! But to be honest, she looks good with every color.

Here is a super subtle, gorgeous version of ombre and beautiful red lips!

Bright lips and dewy faces, so stunning!

A braided up do is the perfect way to beat the summer heat AND frizz!
