Damaged hair

I topic of concern for a lot of people is damage to their hair. We all love to have our hair done.. weather it be just a little trim to an all over color..

The truth is that color damages our hair.. The peroxide that we use to color hair weather called developer, promoter.. or perxoide is all the same thing..,

heres the thing.. if you do your hair every 6 to 8 weeks as recomened .. and use the products recomened by your stylist, your hair will be great.

What damages your hair .. is bleaching it coloring it bleaching it coloring, over and over again.

So stop and think .. Do I want my hair to look like straw.. should I tried to bleach out color.

You can not fix damaged hair., you can patch it by using conditioners, deep conditioners can be used depending on how damaged your hair is from once a week to once a month,

No matter what tv tells you.. shampoo cannot fix damaged hair. Listen to your hair stylist.. and please do not true to do yours hair yourself.. thats what we are trained for..

Yes, your right.. the drug store, and walmart have a whole isle of so many types of hair color to put on your hair.. but, my guess is .. your not ever gonna get what you want out of store bought color.

Gradution day was Febuary 16, 2011 I had a wonderful day. My station was decorated woderfully. I loved it thank you Ryan, Amber, Amanda, and Dana. You guys are the greatest,




We went to lunch at noon, at the mexican resturant , then cake and ice cream.. I want to thank the staff at Arnolds Beauty School for everything they have done in the last year for me. I loved being at school, and i will miss you all,


Now for the hard part State boards.. Hopefully I can get in pretty quickly. and start to work asap






as always love and hugs

Last week of School

Ok, so tomorrow is Monday Febuary 7, 2011. What that means is, Is its the first day of my last week of school before Graduation. Tomorrow the hours of opperation are from 9:15 to 1:30pm. school starts at 8am though.

We will do an hour of class, in my case its an hour of stateboard review. I have an appointment tomorrow at 9 though.. Jodi Heavner. who is a good friend and the author of Ameatica.. the world of noodles.. check her out. you'll love her Noodle world.. Plus she has the cutest little baby girl.. I am kinda a little nervous about being done with school. its a new path in my life.. next is stateboards then find a job doing hair, makeup and more.

I love my new path, I know that I can go far because its always been my passion ..
I will miss so many people there but, I can come back to visit..

yours always Sioux

a week and a half

Well it is a week and a half till i graduate.. wow.. does that not blow my mind.. I took my mock state boards last tuesday.. I did ok. not great.. but I know some of the things i did wrong so .. I hope that I can correct that.. That of course was the practical part.. The theory part .. well lets say, was not as good as I expected.. However,. I was told that the test given in mock boards is harder then the actual test.. so i was encouraged.. I think I will do fine..

Its been one heck of a year.. I have learned so much.. I was sitting here tonight looking at my nails.. they are pretty good. i did them of course.. the ones i did they day i started were horrible. I was horrible at nails.. Now.. I think I am good enough to charge.. YAY! thats a plus..

I love what I am doing.. I volintered to do the makeup at a runway show for St Judes hosipital. got some great pics.. I think I did really good.. Chaz the Salon owner liked my work.. I liked him also .. I think he is a very talented Stylist and we will be hearing about him in the world of beauty in the near future.

I am kinda disappointed in myself though.. I had big plans to blog this last year so much my devolopment and everything.. It just didnt happen.. I was not in a state of mind that I could be in the place I needed to be to do that.. Now I can the cause of my problem is gone.. Life has been so much better in the last month.. I am now off and running. look out world Sioux is here and I am here to stay!

yours forever Sioux

Mock statboards

I have Mock state boards at school today. if you dont know what that means.. its a practice run for state boards to get my cosmetology license.. its probally an all day thing .. I am packed and ready.. I think I'm ready for this.. I graduate in 2 wks.. which means.. If i am not ready .. I have to get ready... Atleast I have one less stress to deal with .. that is the end of my 7 yr relationship.. it was a hard desision to make but in the end was the right one. It just wasnt a good place for me to be in ..

Of course a major stress was the passing of my dad in December. Also my mom getting sicker..
The Kids are grown now.. So basically its time for me to be where I want to be.. In life physically and mentally..

I really want to move to Nashville.. I know that I can make a better living there.. I would be leaving all my friends and atleast part of my family.. I just think it would be in my best interest to do so.. I know that I will start as a assitant or something like that if I do go to Nashville but, hey everyone has to start somewhere
