2014 LONG BEACH HAIR SHOW

ISSE LONG BEACH 2014
 
                                           
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT ....PALM TREES IN JANUARY ..AND COMING OFF WHAT IS POSSIBLY CALGARY'S WORST WINTER IN HISTORY....I KNOW THAT CANT BE SUBJECTIVE(I SAY THE SAME THING EVERY WINTER)....BUT IT WOULDN'T TAKE LONG TO DO A LITTLE SURVEY AND FIND OUT WHAT US CANADIANS ARE FEELING ABOUT 2013/2014 WINTER THUS FAR.....
BLAAAA
SO....WHAT A GREAT   WAY TO KICK OFF 2014 THAN BY ENJOYING MY FAVOURITE THINGS...HAIR AND SUNSHINE
 
 

I FIND THESE TRADE SHOWS EXHILARATING  INSPIRING ENERGISING AND EXHAUSTING   ....AND OVER THE LAST 20YEARS THEY DON'T TIRE ON ME...... I HAVE DISCOVERED THO THAT IT IS BEST TO HAVE A PLAN.....YES I REALIZE THE IRONY COMING FROM ME....BUT LIKE POPEYE SAYS "I Y'AM WHAT I AM" ..AND KNOWING THAT I LIKE THINGS FAST AND EFFICIENT (EFFICIENT TAKES MORE PRACTISE) IVE LEARNED WHAT WORKS FOR ME IN THAT DEPT

SO WITH MILITARY PRECISION I TAKE IN EVERY BOOTH AND ISLE TO COMB OUT WHAT WILL GET MY ATTENTION....LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE IT TAKES A LOT OF SELF CONTROL NOT TO IMMEDIATELY STOP AND TAKE IN ALL THE SIGHTS SOUNDS AND TOOLS....BUT...I HAVE ONLY 2 DAYS TO GAIN NEW TRENDS , TECHNIQUE AND KNOWLEDGE  

WITHIN THE 1ST HOUR I USUALLY KNOW WHAT BOOTH AND ARTISTS I WANT TO FOLLOW THE NEXT 2 DAYS....AS WELL THERE WERE CERTAIN STAGE SHOWS THAT I NEEDED TO ALLOCATE SOME TIME TO.....

MY TOP 3 ARTISTS FOR WHICH I SPENT THE BULK OF MY TIME AND KEPT RETURNING FOR MORE WERE ..
NICK ARROJO
MARTIN PARSONS
VIDAL SASSOON TEAM  

 



BIGGEST TREND ACROSS THE BOARD.....COLOR COLOR AND MORE COLOR....YEP EVEN EMERALD GREEN
MUSIC TO MY FINGERS
I AM SO HAPPY TO CONTINUE TO SEE HAIR OF VARYING LENGTHS....YOU CAN INDIVIDUALZE WITH YOUR CLIENTS BASED ON WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE, THEIR  LIFESTYLE, AND LIMITATIONS THAT WAY  
 



OF COURSE IRON WORK IS STILL REALLY HOT AND PREDOMINANT INTO 2014
GORGEOUS WAVES 

ALTHOUGH I AM ONE OF THE FEW STYLISTS THAT STILL DO MENS TAPERS "OLD SCHOOL" WITH SCOZZOR OVER HAND, AND HAVEN'T TOUCHED A SET OF CLIPPERS SINCE THE MID 90'S....THEY SCARE ME..... THIS GROUP OF PLATFORM ARTISTS WERE FUN TO WATCH
 HAIR TATTOOING 
AHHH YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON AT LEAST ONE ARTIST TO PUT ON A ONE MAN SHOW....AND HAIR IS THE BACKGROUND TO HIS FLAMBOYANT SONG AND DANCE (PONY SHOW IF YOU WILL) ROUTINE.....JACKPOT!

THEY ONLY TIME I SAT DOWN WAS FOR A FEW MAIN STAGE ARTISITS....SITTING IS NOT MY STRONG POINT..
