Blunt Bob

Meet Julie:

I always enjoy cutting her hair SO MUCH for 2 reasons:

1. Our great conversation. She's super intelligent and has all kinds of info to relay about local Long Beach history, music, and art.

2. Her blunt bob haircut is a bit of a departure from all the texture I'm usually putting in haircuts.

I think it suits her quite nicely! :)

Friends of Spice Cake

I told you Spice Cake was going to be starting something didn't I?

Well here they are:

Little Pants

Freckle

...and Martha

Here's the story.

I was drawing an elephant one day while I should have been addressing wedding invitations, Jasmine was flipping through a cooking magazine. I THOUGHT she said, "We should call her Spice Cake" when in actuality she had never even looked up... she had said, "We should TRY THIS spice cake" (pointing out a recipe in her magazine). Minutes later I flipped the page around to reveal the bold pink letters tattooed across her side.

Since then, Spice Cake's friends have evolved through a combined effort of Jasmine and I bouncing ideas off of one another. There are several more in the works and, as all have sold already, we have plans to make and sell prints!

I do long hair too...

It struck me recently that I don't really have pictures of any long hair styles so allow me to introduce you to Liliya. We have all sorts of fun things planned for her hair in the coming months! For now we toned down a more vibrant red to get her ready for her sister's wedding.

Thanks for your cooperation, Liliya! :)

Sketchy.

Purple Hair

Jasmine's got it real hard... she wants a change to spice things up, she gets it! :)

Lavender apparently doesn't photograph well with iphones :/

Sketchy.

I'm just gonna go ahead and throw a new drawing up here from time to time.

Here you go:

You're welcome.

Raquel, Rakell, Rock Hell!

Recently I had the privilege of meeting Raquel.

Raquel was ready for a change.

Raquel needed a new look to match her new physique. Say goodbye to old Raquel!

all banded up and ready to donate to Locks of Love

wine really helps to soothe the nerves!

And now may I present to you.... RAKELL!!

Ready to Rock Hell all month long.. Happy Birthday, Rakell!!

New Art

As you may have seen I've had the opportunity to hang up my art a couple of times lately. I'm always the one that NEEDS to show a solid, cohesive collection, but all this has done is limit me and no one ever sees anything new. This time around Jasmine forced to me to hang EVERYTHING!!!

Since I decided to wise up and listen to my wife, I not only learned and gathered a bit of confidence, but I actually sold a few things!

Jasmine calls him Basil

"Spice Cake".. long story. She may just be leading a revolution soon!

More from this husband and wife duo later!

When Style Meets Personality

My favorite thing is when I am able to give someone a look that really suits their lifestyle and personality, but maybe challenges their comfort zone a little.

When Tianna first came to me it was on a referral from her roommate. She came for a simple bang trim. What she didn't anticipate was a complete makeover! A couple/few bold moves later, I really think Tianna's spunky personality is matched by her fun new style!

Style Meets Personality: the original

Go Short Gradually

Kelly is always bringing me her fun ideas then kindly lets me run with them. Ever since we decided that growing her hair out wasn't the best idea we've been having so much fun playing with new styles as we get a little shorter each time. Remember her last style?

Here is Kelly's most recent look:

A little shorter with some asymmetry...
