Photo shoot: Amy and Jessica


So my sister in laws are pretty nice to me. They let me do whatever I wanted on them for this photo shoot. (Which was so fun for me!- I don't get to do that very often.) And on top of that-- they were amazing models!! Aren't they gorgeous?! 
Of course it doesn't hurt that Jen of Green Apple Images is an incredible photographer! All in all it was an amazing combination and it was such a fun night! 

Jessica is insane because she has had two kids and still fits into her wedding dress! Seriously?! And I loved that her dress was so classic-- so I wanted to do a hairstyle that spiced it up a little.





Amy is in love with England. Which who isn't a little bit? I think everyone loves their accents and secretly wishes they were Kate Middleton. I know I do. So she was the inspiration for Amy's look.
Kate's hairstylist is one of my idols. She dreams up some amazing styles for Kate. But after seeing this style done on Amy-- I think Kate better watch out! :) Amy's hair is BEAUTIFUL and thick and I love how amazing braids look in her hair. It was so fun copying this style on her.





 I really wish I could master the "Serious" look like Amy did in this next picture. Come help me practice, Amy?? 


Thanks again Amy and Jess!!! It was such a blast. And another thanks to Jen for the amazing pictures!

Welcome to Top Knot Beauty!

Welcome! 
        I am so thrilled to be blogging about two of my favorite things-- Hair and Makeup. For starters I will introduce myself a bit. I am a hair stylist/makeup artist. I have been licensed for about 4 years now but have been doing hair and makeup for much longer than that. I absolutely love my job. I feel so lucky to be able to make people feel pretty (or handsome :) ) as a career! I have a slight obsession with hair product and makeup. (Ask anyone who has seen my collection.) I offer a variety of different services which you can find on my "Services" page.

 Here is what I plan to put on this blog--

 Education on hair care and skin care.
 Product knowledge/info and what I recommend and use.
 Promotions/Discounts on my services.
 Pictures of my work.
And maybe in the future some hair and makeup tutorials if I can convince my husband to help me. :)
Please leave a comment on anything additional things you would be interested in seeing on here!

 I am so excited to be starting a blog and launching my new salon name, "Top Knot Beauty." (Shout out to Mallory Guymon at The Good, The Bad & The Guymons for designing my logo, blog, and facebook page! She did amazing!) So because I am so excited I am offering a couple free services!!

 1.) FREE Scalp treatment-
             Alright let me break this down for you... MINT Conditioner massaged onto your scalp for about 30 minutes. Then it gets washed, and styled for you. Relaxation and Pampering all in one service.
2.) Free Haircut- Female or Male. Everyone needs a trim eventually. And you can save this for next time if you just got it cut.
These are both good for three months if you win!
