entering the world of hair

a few friends have advised me to create a blog for all the hair that i've done for special occasions in the past. i don't think i'm quite ready to make a blog specifically on hair. honestly, i'm a little embarrassed to publicly display this post. thoughts like "people must think this is a joke...i'm so amateur" or "what if they think that i'm doing this to boast about myself?" have ran through my head a number of times. i realized that those thoughts only show my concern with man's approval. rather than constantly having this fear of man, i want to post this entry simply for my love of doing hair. it's fun; it brings out the artistic side of me; and it's a great way to kill some time w/your girlfriends. =)

so what i'm about to show in blog-land is an "evolution" of hairstyles i've done.





















this is my little sister's hair that i did for prom & a formal ball that she went to. aileen was my first guinea pig when it came to hairstyling. ever since 6th grade, i used to make her be my barbie so that i could play around w/hair. even to this day, she is gracious to allow me to practice on her, even if she'd rather do other things. =)

























i was privileged to do some of the junior bridesmaids' hairs for the McAdam's wedding. the girls got me excited to help out in this way with their giddiness to get all dolled up. i had a lot of fun working with them.

























these two are my favorite to work with in san diego. both gals are/were my roommates during my collegelife, and they've always been willing to let me practice on them.





































the most recent wedding party i worked with. these girls were troopers. they were up since 3am getting their hair & makeup done! (good shots taken by chris cho)
