China Bumps By Classmate- SM

A new style my classmate taught me at school. She calls them "China Bumps"

Nice, huh?

Great summer style or for someone transitioning to natural or a natural hair wearer.

This style was made with added braiding hair.

Hair Show in Wilson, NC

I went to my first hair show in Wilson, NC on December 6th. I was suppose to compete but didn't get my model and idea in time. I went to support a friend/classmate. I ended up being the makeup artist for her model. It was lots of fun and I will be competing next go around in April of 2010.

Tigist-Stylist and Yours Truly-Guest Makeup Artist

Tigist won 3rd place!

I'm so proud of her!

Yes, that is all her natural hair! Isn't she beautiful? Actually both Kema and Tigist are natural beauties.

Kema is the same beauty featured in my post titled "Make Up"

I can't believe I've completed 1 whole year in school. Hmmm...I can smell graduation around the corner.

11 months in!

Wow, time is going by so fast! My program is 15 months and that's right around the corner and I'm so excited. It has been hard, but now I can clearly see my finish line. Working full-time and going to school is a beast, but still I press forward because it's what I want and so it's worth it.

Next time I post about time in, it'll probably be about graduation

Time is sure zipping by. It seems as though my graduation date in January is so far away, but I must admit that it feels as though I just enrolled last week. With in the next 2 weeks I should be transitioning into the advance class. There is where I will be on the clinic floor receiving clients and showing off how much I have learned right? I am really nervous, but I feel very confident. I have had 3 clients at the school already. This opportunity came about when most of the advance students attended a hair show in Atlanta this past February. I was so nervous about performing services that I forgot to take pictures! Out of the 3 I did get one picture. A real cutey pie. Her mom just wanted her hair in cornrows. Mom was pleased, but cutey pie was very tired of sitting in my chair and wanted to go home. I still managed to get a smile.





Maybe next time mom will let me put beads in her hair.
