IBS Las Vegas '14

Andrew and I decided to make a quick trip to Vegas to catch the last day of the IBS Hair Show. Even though it was the last day of the show and we missed most of the big highlights and entertainment it ended up being a really great day.  We met up with Ryan Teal and Justin Thomas who are both amazing hair cutters and educators with Hatori Hanzo Shears.

We also ran into a long time instagram friend/follower Savannah Harris (@Rainbowrage) which was super awesome. She does some seriously amazing things with vibrant rainbow hair colors! You should seriously check her out. And, it turns out she's an total sweetheart as well. 

But the absolute best part of the day was when we sat in on Gordon Miller's class and he was so excited to meet Andrew that he asked us to lunch with him. 

This guy has serious knowledge on the hair industry. He knows all the ins and outs, who'c coming up, who's going out. He's responsible for a lot of how we are taught in cosmetology school. He's basically like the Yoda of the hair industry. And he wanted to have lunch with us! (well to be totally honest, he wanted lunch with Andrew but I'm Andrew's wife so that automatically means he wanted lunch with me too right?!) Anyway, we sat and talked for at least 2 hrs and it was fantastic! Andrew and I both left there feeling so inspired and re-energized about hair. 

  

Elizabeth's Wedding Dream

 There's just something about Elizabeth's wedding that feels like a dream. When I look at her pictures it's like I'm watching a fantasy sequence in a movie. And really what more could a girl ask for on her wedding day?

Christina & Eric

I don't even know where to start when it comes to Christina's wedding. I mean this girl completely blew me away with her creativity and attention to detail, and on top of her amazing wedding planning skills she's just a rad chick. Just about all of her bridesmaids flew in from all across the country to be a part of her big day. If that's not an indicator of how amazing she is I don't know what is.
I had a hard time picking which pictures to post, I love them all! So, I ended up posting most of them. Hope you don't mind the overload.

Can we just talk about these robes? I mean, how cute are they?!

(Christina requested that all 6 bridesmaids have the same hairstyle.)

Take a second and look at the last two pictures, notice a difference in the bridesmaids dresses? How fun and adorable is it that their dresses converted from long beautiful gowns for the ceremony into cocktail dresses for the reception?! Omg, I was in love when I saw them.
