The "Bieber Bangs" Challenge: A Mother's Mission (and a Pokémon Master in the Making)
Every now and then, a client comes in with a unique and heartwarming request. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a young boy and his dedicated mother.
The mother, a vision of determination, explained her mission: to maintain her son's beloved "Bieber bangs" – those iconic, forward-swept bangs that were all the rage a few years back – while making his overall style more manageable and age-appropriate.
The little guy, let's call him "Liam," was a picture of sweetness. He sat patiently in the chair, captivated by the surrounding buzz of the shop, and regaling us with tales of his extensive Pokémon card collection. Though he didn't have his cards with him, Liam was a veritable encyclopedia of Pokémon knowledge, discussing rare cards, powerful moves, and his favorite Pokémon with impressive enthusiasm.
We knew we had a challenge ahead of us: to honor his mother's request while creating a style that was both stylish and easy to maintain for an active child.
Our approach was a delicate balance of art and practicality. We carefully sculpted the front section to retain the essence of the "Bieber bangs" while softening the edges and ensuring they wouldn't fall into his eyes. We then layered the sides and back, creating movement and reducing bulk for easy styling.
The result? A happy mother, a delighted Liam, and a style that was both trendy and manageable. Liam left the shop looking like a mini-style icon, ready to conquer the world (or at least the playground) – and undoubtedly, his next Pokémon battle.
This experience reminded us of the importance of listening to our client's desires while offering our professional expertise. It's about finding the perfect balance between style, function, and the unique personality of each individual.

Taming the Mane: A Hair Transformation Story
John came to us with a specific goal: to conquer his hair for an upcoming holiday party. He wanted a style that was easy to maintain, looked good, and most importantly, wouldn't be the subject of conversation. We listened carefully to John's concerns, analyzing his hair texture and lifestyle. Our goal was to create a look that was both stylish and effortless, minimizing his morning routine. After a thorough consultation, we recommended a mid taper with a flowback. This style would reduce bulk, enhance natural texture, and create a sleek look. The results? John was thrilled! The new style not only looked fantastic but also significantly reduced his styling time. He left the salon feeling confident and excited to enjoy the holiday party without worrying about his hair. This transformation highlights the importance of a personalized approach to hair care.
We've all been there. You wake up with a knotty mess on your head and the thought of styling it feels like a Herculean task. Our client, let's call him "John," was facing a similar struggle. His curly hair, while full of personality, presented daily challenges. It lacked manageability, making mornings a battleground of hair products and frustration.
John came to us with a specific goal: to conquer his hair for an upcoming holiday party. He wanted a style that was easy to maintain, looked good, and most importantly, wouldn't be the subject of conversation.
We listened carefully to John's concerns, analyzing his hair texture and lifestyle. Our goal was to create a look that was both stylish and effortless, minimizing his morning routine.
After a thorough consultation, we recommended a mid-taper with a flow back. This style would:
Reduce bulk: The taper would gradually shorten the hair on the sides and back, removing excess weight and creating a more streamlined look.
Enhance natural texture: The flow back, with slightly longer hair on top, would allow the curls to fall naturally, adding movement and texture.
Create a sleek look: The taper would provide a clean, polished look on the sides and back, while the flow back would offer a touch of effortless style on top.
We also incorporated a slight amount of bulk on top to give John a bit more volume and shape, while still maintaining a manageable style.
The results? John was thrilled! The new style not only looked fantastic but also significantly reduced his styling time. He left the salon feeling confident and excited to enjoy the holiday party without worrying about his hair.
This transformation highlights the importance of a personalized approach to hair care. We believe in understanding our client's unique needs and creating a style that complements their lifestyles and enhances their confidence.

Crafting Connections: Sugar Skulls, Smiles, and More
It all begins with an dream.
Last weekend, something magical happened as we embarked on our first-ever workshop with the incredibly talented Marlon Marinero. Our mission to make art accessible to all was taken to a whole new level as we raised the funds to bring the joy of creating clay sugar skulls to four students from the vibrant community of Southeast LA.
Under the warm California sun, with the scent of creativity in the air, we were filled with pride. Our inclusivity core value was fully realized as we opened the doors to these aspiring artists who might not have had this opportunity otherwise.
The day was filled with creativity, laughter, and a genuine sense of community. Marlon's expertise and passion for creating clay sugar skulls were contagious, inspiring both the students and ourselves. This class was not just about molding clay but also about molding ourselves into artists who could tap into the power of artistic expression.
As we shaped the clay into intricate sugar skulls, we realized that the connections we were making were as intricate and beautiful as our creations. Art became a language that transcended our differences, allowing us to share stories, dreams, and aspirations. The energy in the room was electric, and it was evident that we were all on a grand adventure of self-discovery through the medium of clay sugar skulls.
The experience was a powerful testament to the transformative power of art. We found ourselves not only molding clay but also molding the bonds of a strong and supportive community. We celebrated our victories and accepted the imperfections in our sugar skulls, understanding that it was the journey of creation that truly mattered.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to all the participants who joined us in this artistic journey. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and willingness to explore your creative potential made this weekend an extraordinary success. And a special thanks to Marlon Marinero, whose guidance and passion turned clay into works of art.
This weekend wasn't just about creating clay sugar skulls; it was about creating connections, self-discovery, and the transformative power of art. We look forward to many more such experiences in the future and continuing our mission of sharing the joy of art with our community.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey.
In closing, let us remember the wise words of our teacher, David Nathan Schwartz, who, at the end of every class, reminded us that "People who say yes have adventures, people who say no play it safe, and people who say maybe spend a whole life saying maybe." As we reflect on the incredible weekend we've shared, let's embrace the spirit of "yes" and continue our artistic adventures, creating, connecting, and growing together. Thank you for being a part of this extraordinary journey.
