We love short hair!

In case you have not figured it out, we love short hair. I love cutting hair. When someone say they want to go shorter, I love it more. I am like "Let's ROCK!!!!!!"

Short hair is soooooooo in style. For a woman to rock a short cut, it shows her confidence as well as her pretty long neck and beautiful cheeks.

If you take a look at celebrity women, they are chopping off the beautiful locks. Check out Rhianna, Keyshia Cole, Regina King, Angela Bassett, Victoria Beckham.

I had the privilege of cutting my other BFF, Dee Williams, hair. We had a ball. Dee has such a "spunky" attitude and can rock any hairstyle and outfit. Dee can make a brown paper bag talk :). Dee was in town and decided to get her hair cut shorter. She was pleased with the results and has been my PR person every since then. Take a look! Rock on Dee Fab!!!!!!! Huh Dee LOL.

Beside every great man is a great woman!

On January 20th, when I saw Michelle Obama step foot on stage, chills went up my spine and tears just started to roll down my face. The First Lady of the United States of American is a beautiful African American. Michelle Obama is a class act. I have many reasons to admire her. Here are just a few reasons as to why I admire her.

• She stands proudly beside her husband and gets a glow in her eyes when she looks at him.


• Loving mother to her daughters
  
• Educated and intelligent and seems to be very down to earth


• Always fashion forward

I look at her and can learn so much. After reading and looking at the news, she is encouraging other women to be a better wife, mother, career driven, and all together a better person. Now, that's a powerhouse for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On another note, her hair,make-up, and clothes are always on point. When I look at her, I see grace and style. See for yourself. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a beautiful first lady!

You will never know whose life you will touch!

Today we had in-house training and had an awesome Art Director, Dana. Dana was going over techniques and product knowledge. She then got to telling us stories and one story in particular touched me and I wanted to share it with you.

"One day a lady came into Supercuts in North Carolina at 6:00 pm and within minutes went into the restroom. Minutes and even an hour went by and the lady was still in the restroom. The store manager told Dana to check on the lady. The lady finally came out 5 minutes before closing (7:55pm). Stephanie decided to cut the lady's hair. The lady was overweight and could not fit in the chair. Dana had to bring two seats together to accommodate the client. Afterwards, Dana started her consultation and asked, "What will we be doing today." The lady responded, "Look at me, what can you really do for me?" Dana then went on to compliment the lady on her beautiful features. Dana cut the lady's hair and then they said good night.

The next day, the same lady came into the salon to speak with Dana's manager. After a period of time, the lady left. The manager asked for Dana to come into the office. Within minutes, the manager told Dana that the lady came in with the intentions to commit suicide and wanted to look beautiful when she was found. She was embarrassed by the way she looked and stayed in the restroom. Dana made her feel so good about herself that she decided to wake up the next morning to tell Dana's manager.

Always have a positive attitude. You will never know how you can impact someone.

"The Bob"

Bobs have always been in style. Over the last year or so, they have really "stepped it up" as far as the framework. Being at Supercuts, I knew I would really be able to add that something "special" to an ordinary bob or any hairstyle to that matter.

My line sister, Patrice, came down during the Holiday Break, and wanted her hair to have more pizzazz. Of course, I was more than excited to work some magic.

She wanted it short, but long enough at the same time considering the fact she does not have a relaxer. Also, she wanted to keep the length on her sides. I was very pleased when Patrice said the cut looked good! She has no problem telling you the truth. Thanks Patrice!!

Check out the results!

How to make a pregnant woman feel sexy again?

Cut her hair and give her a new look. Her hubby, Pat, said IT IS HOTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

"She's bringing sexy back"

Yes, she uses Carol's Daughter!

Color of Love

I have been very blessed to have family members that had no problem being my science project. Sherwanda, my sister, was the person that let me try colors in her head. She would ask me what am I going to do. My response, "something pretty." Deep down Sherwanda knew I was guessing what colors to mix with what developer, and what toner. The finished results. We came up with a beautiful ending. She let me color her hair with love :)

Here are some pics!

Work in Progress

A comment was made today that a person know that are getting better when they can cut hair and keep going. That comment was made when I was "touching up" Dorian's hair.

Even on yesterday a lady came into Supercuts @ Collierville after a messed up hair cut from a high end salon here in the city. I was the next stylist available, and her hair cut was NOT RIGHT (AT ALL). As she sat in my chair and explained what she wanted, I was thinking "How am I going to fix this??!!" Because of my Supercuts training, I was able to think of the steps needed to correct the situation, and we had a beautiful outcome. The client's reaction was, " Oh Yes, so much better! This is what I wanted" Her husband even said the same thing. I was smiling and blushing from cheek to cheek.

This entire time, I was unaware that I was being watched by another young lady. After this young lady saw my work, she requested for me to cut her hair. Her response, " I was worth the wait."

I am just grateful I can see my work in progress. Below are pics of my work down through the years. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Great Hair Products

For those that have never heard of Carol's Daughter, it is the best!!! I just left the Sephora Beauty Store today buying products for my niece, Darilyn. Months ago, I felt that my hair was missing that "Glow." After researching, I was motivated to try Carol's Daughter. I wanted a product that will give my hair a natural shine, but at the same time not weigh it down. Tui Oil and Hair Butter worked wonders. The best part is, all the products are made of natural products.
Within a week's my hair looked very "sleeked." On top of that, they smelled wonderful! They all wanted to know what I was using. Of course, being a hairstylist, I was more than ready to go into detail.

Below are pics of other clients, family, and friends that can say the same thing.

Yes, men can use it too! Kerry loves it as well! Trinity (the girl in the black) gets her hair pressed. Look at the gloss of her pony tails :)

Brief Description:
In the early 1990’s, Brooklyn native Lisa Price (a.k.a. Carol’s daughter) began experimenting with fragrance, essential oils and natural moisturizers to make gifts for her family and friends. Soon after she packaged her home-spun creations, word spread like wildfire and the demand for her unparalleled hair and body care products led to a highly successful mail-order and web-based business. Within a few years, Carol's Daughter counted celebrities like Jada Pinkett Smith, Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Brad Pitt and Chaka Khan as loyal fans, or as she refers to them, "friends of the family."In the early 1990’s, Brooklyn native Lisa Price (a.k.a.

You brought Joy to my sister, Joy

This past Friday a lady requested for me to cut her hair. After we introduced ourselves, the client sat in my chair. She then began to talk" You have made my sister, Joy, sooooo happy. You (Deidra) cut her hair some weeks ago and she was very pleased. She has never been pleased with her hair from any stylist in America. She was very excited. "

Goes to show, always put your best foot forward. You never know the kind of JOY it can bring to someone.

Praise from a stylist in Dallas, Texas

Being a new stylist, there are so many different things to learn. You want to make sure that every cut, color, and style is done just right. Many times, other stylist can see areas of improvement or mistakes....

On January 2, 2009 I cut one of my BFF's, Amberly M. Mann's hair. Years after pinning up her braids in college for the homecoming boat rides, I was putting scissors in her head. Well, after many clips, hair fell to the floor, hair was over her ears, and finally it was gone!!! We were both smiling ear to ear!

Well, she went back to Texas and went to her regular stylist for a shampoo. After "analyzing" her hair, the stylist said "Whoever did you hair did a good job. I cannot even knock it."

That made my day and gave me that reassurance that I am where I need to be.

Thanks for the praise report.

The Start of Something Beautiful!

Hello Everyone!!

I am very excited about the things that are going on in my life. I married the one that was created for me about a year ago. Yes, we are approaching our one year anniversary!! Also, I am walking in my purpose and making progress everyday with my career goals.

Ever since I was a young child, my hands stayed in someone's hair. I would try to duplicate every style I saw being done. After I graduated from Fisk University in 2004 with a degree in Business Administration and Management, I followed my heart. I enrolled in Plaza Beauty School and have not looked back!

I am currently employed at SuperCuts in Collierville (Poplar and Byhlia) and loving the experience. Everyday I am learning something new and growing! I am loving it and know things will only get better.

Cathy Jones was one of my first clients that said "cut it off." I felt like a child during Christmas time, "for me." I could not wait to start "hacking" it off. After making sure Cathy was ok as each string of hair fell to the floor, we were good to go. Cathy had to close her eyes in between taking deep breaths! Anyway, we cut her hair and she went to Sherwanda's House (of Curls LOL) to have it curled and styled. Below are images of the finished product. WORK IT CATHY!!!!!
