Carnival of Beauty

So, the big Carnival of Beauty event was this weekend.

If your not familiar with this event, it's put on every year by Maritime Beauty Supply and is pretty fabulous!

Well, pretty fabulous again!

Met lots of fun people, learned some stuff, saw new things, shopped...... all in all, pretty good time.

The Gala last night was DJ'ed by Halifax's own Logan Hudak. Did an awesome job, as usual. Followed by lots of after party, hear that was a good time. :)

Highlights of the weekend include, LCN's new Glass Nails, FAB! Redken's IntraForce, we just got this in salon, pretty exciting. Babe eyelash extensions, not actually launched yet, but did see some girls wearing them, (getting a set myself as soon as they are released.) Met Scott Moon, Redken's general manager, all around fabulous guy. Sat in on a class by Colin Ford, also pretty fabulous. They had some excellent platform artists and alot of unbelievable local talent!

Pretty great weekend, kind of tired, but getting ready for fashion show on Friday!

Hair Straightening....hmmmmmmm.....

hmmmmmm.... don't know how I feel about this fuss about keratin hair straighteners. I mean I feel Canada Health did the right thing, if there's a possibility that something is making people sick, by all means remove it from the market until it's proven safe. I mean it's not like anybody ever died of curly hair.

I guess I don't know how to feel about the new "formaldhyde free" straightening products coming out. I want them to work, really I do, and I trust that they are indeed free of formaldahyde. I mean after all the fuss they're not just going to pass anything. I don't know though, how the public will react to these products. When you hear enough negative stuff about a service, it can really taint your veiw of them. what will it take to get people to trust this product? Oh well, I'm going to take a class on KeraStraight in a couple of weeks. I'll post an update on if I've changed my mind then.

In other news, new front desk arrived today! Yayyyyy... no more light "oak" trimmed with black:P Our new desk will be white, white, white!! Computer cords will always be an issue, I'll pray for patience.

Now it's just to get it assembled........
