I Got My Hair Done!

As I'm sure some of yous may or may not know, I have incredibly dark hair and although I have died my hair in the past to red and purple etc. I have always went back to dark because I love it and I always thought it suited me the best, although my boyfriend would disagree. But anyway, my boyfriend's sister is a hairdresser in Belfast and her salon uses the brand Wella; and they were coming to the salon to do a colour day - which basically means they talk to the hairdressers about up coming fashion trends and how to achieve them -  so she needed a model, and I kindly offer myself up to the plate because... why not? A change would be nice and if it's being done professionally then even better! 

Her idea was to do a rose gold inspired look, but obviously because my hair was so dark, it would be quite hard to achieve that colour in an hour or two but she mixed the colour anyway and just hoped for the best - and I fell in love with the colour! It wasn't really rose gold, it was more red/copper colour which was still beautiful.

So here is the before photo:

And here is the after;

The roots were still kept quite dark, with the colour being brought down from the fringe. I'M IN LOVE!

Where Have I been?

I would like to apologies for being so MIA lately, with work and College I literally haven't had time to gather my thoughts and ideas to do any blog posts - but seeing as I was off today and have nothing really to be doing at the minute I just thought I would let yous know about what has been happening lately.

I think in a few posts back I had said that I got onto my VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Theatrical, Special Effects Hair and Media Makeup course - and it has been quite a change. We have/are currently looking at Period/Fantasy and Casualty within one unit, Face and Body Art in another and Media makeup in another which is the "pretty makeup" so to speak, so there is a lot involved considering this is just what we are looking at this term. We also have quite a few assessments to do also and along side those we have to mood boards - which is basically putting your ideas for your assessment onto a board which you can then present to your client and they will have an idea of the look your going to be doing on them - its a bit time consuimg but it is quite a good idea.

We also have the opportunity to do makeup outide of college for the performing arts students and also for professional companies that have shows in Opera Houses etc so its all very surreal for me - but incredibly exciting at the same time. The best thing about it though for me was the kit we had to get at the start - it is fabulous - granted we didnt get everything we would have needed so we had to go out and buy it ourselves but it really has been worth it - and as we are in tech only three days a week I have quite a lot of time to play around and practice with it.

I thought I would post pictures of the work I've done as well, just so you's can see what the course entails :)
