Hair and Technology came together when I decided to move forward
with putting this website together.  I have since recieved such positive
feedback on how well this site is done.
Roch St.George of Xyfex Media was not only enthusiastic and intrigued
 to help put this material together for me, he is extremely knowledgable 
in his field of expertise, and is brilliant at sharing that knowledge with 
his clients.
Here is the testimonial they recieved from me, as well as the link for their
website, should you be in need of such knowledge and brilliance.
Cheers!

When I first met Roch from Xyfex Media, right away I felt that putting my portfolio as a hairstylist in his hands was the best thing I could do. Throughout our initial consultation, he asked the right questions, offered knowledgable answers for my inquires, and left me feeling confident that my website would be great. Since then, I have shared my website with my clientele, as well attracted new customers. The fact that I can update my blog, add new images on my own, comes from the follow up that Roch offers after it was completed. His approach to teaching me about technology (is and has always been from the start) clear, exciting and full of enthusiasm. I love that he takes the time and energy to communicate with such sincere pleasure.  Xyfex Media .... what a find !!!!!

Many thanks to you all,
2009 was quite a haul.
Without you, I certainly knew,
I could not keep my point of view.

Sharing life, while doing hair,
Trying new things, when we dare.
Bangs, layers, forget our fears,
2010 presents a New Year.

With this we will find,
Many reasons to be kind.
To love life, want more,
and have a "New look" that is not a chore.

Laugh, dance, sing,
2010 has a great ring.
Cheers to you all, This year we'll have a ball!

Happy New Year!

My recent trip to Paradise Island, Bahamas showed me that Hairstyles are unlike those in Ottawa. I was looking to find within their culture, a common look. This is what I found....This women's Headress is so elegant.These are definitely the longest Dreadlocks I have ever seen...How they fit under the hat was incredible.

On Monday November 23rd, I attended a hair seminar that was brought to us by Baz Beauty Supply. Our Eduactors were Michael Dahi from Minneappolis and Manon Robillard from Santa Monica. They shared their latest collection of cut and color, and offered many tips and techniques that we can use behind the chair. It was refreshing to acquire new ideas right before the Holiday Season. I thought it might be fun for you to get an inside look at what it is like when we go to "hair school" on Mondays. Here are a few photos of the looks that were presented...

  Lafreniere and Pai have loaned their beautiful treasures to me for shoots, such as the 3 Looks Collection........

     They are having their 22nd  Annual Jewellery Exhibition.  This is where I can definitely find something  to put under the tree "To Donna" from "Mrs. Claus".  Have a look.  They are located in Ottawa's Byward Market.

     Thanks to you all for such positive feedback in regards to my website.  Sure does make a girl feel good, kind of like a haircut I would think.

     I also received many comments regarding Hair Poetry Photographed.  This does not surprise me as Crazzy Dave has done this to many people on the streets in Ottawa.

     Jean Boulay since has released a book called "Mindlessly Adrift".  It is full of great street photography, as well as poems and wisdom from Dave.

Over the weekend I did a photoshoot with Zoom Exposure.

The photos will be posted shortly on my website.

Ryszard Mrugalski is one of the most creative artists in Ottawa and as a hairdresser it was a pleasure to work and learn with him.
