Monday Makeover: Dramatic Transformation

I had the honor of doing Mariah's hair. She works at my dad's office at the front desk and recently turned 21! She had never had her hair professionally done before and never had anyone teach her how to do her make-up. She only wears powder, black eye shadow and eye liner and had never before worn mascara. She wears a high ponytail and clips her bangs back everyday to get the hair out of her face. Mariah had a lot of disconnected layers and colored her own hair with box bleach, which resulted in a some major breakage. I wanted to give her an updated, natural, fun yet sophisticated look. Check out the dramatic results. This was really fun for me to be able to have free rein and do whatever I wanted with her hair (and make-up.) She was such a sweet, sincere, genuine person and I really enjoyed seeing her face light up when she saw the final results.

 Instead of pulling her hair up in a ponytail and clipping her bangs out of her face everyday, I taught her a simple, cute way to twist and clip her bangs away from her face. What do you think?

 She had enough hair for three heads-- not a joke! Very thick! This style works perfectly for her hair!

 She exudes beauty, confidence and style. Happy 21st birthday Mariah!
