morphic grand opening party

Morphic Movin' Up

Thanks to you, I'm on my way up -  to a bigger and better space within Sola Studios!  I'm so proud to offer you - my amazing clients - something brighter and better!  Come to my Grand Opening celebration of my new studio and meet my new hair assistant Akiha Imazu on May 4 at 6pm Suite 210!

It is going to be a blast -  a blast of hairspray that is!  Yours truly will be the entertainment, demonstrating outrageously awesome morphed out hairstyling.  It's going to be fun, exhilarating and slightly hilarious.  So bring yourself and your whole posse to the party.  And when choosing your outfit think outside the box...the more outrageous, the more fun you will have.  Don't be boring!  Go crazy!

And if none of that convinced you, there will be free drinks, music, and snacks!

Can't wait to see your face!

Xo,

Mishi

Here are some pictures of a photo-shoot I participated in on Sunday, April 22.   I love creating every kind of updo... both funky and classy!

cherry blossom festival

At the San Francisco Cherry Blossom Festival on Saturday, April 21, I volunteered at a charity booth to raise funds for the victims of the Northern Japan Earthquake that tragically occurred last year.  I decorated hair with feathers and flowers.  We raised $5379.50 in total, and 100% of the proceeds will be sent to The Ashinaga Fund and The Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund.  I also created an updo for the Cherry Blossom, Hawaiian beauty pageant princess Nicole Kinney.  It was such a fulfilling experience to be able to help others by doing something with my own skills.

electric rouge

For the 2012 Spring/Summer season, make way for yummy orange lips!  They are the season’s essentials!  Some of my personal favorites are Guerlain’s Rouge G Gypsy #41 and YSL’s Rouge Pur Couture #21.  Both colors will give you a vibrant orange tone with a touch of electric tangerine.  I love to partner these with a pop of color on the cheek with Guerlain’s Terracotta Bronziing Powder #1, which is a gorgeous mosaic of almond and peach hues, or YSL’s Blush Radiance #2, which is a natural blend of corals.  Have fun playing and enjoy!

morphing pinterest

If you are hearing about Pinterest for the first time, you may want to stop reading this now, because if you are anything like me - someone who is easily sucked into the cyberspace of social media, then add Pinterest to your list of internet addictions. The thing I love about Pinterest is that I can make my own digital vision board with pics on the web and with pics from my own personal collection.  There is no more organizing magazine clippings and searching around the house for scissors, glue and poster board. Together, Mishi and I have morphed our way onto Pinterest creating our own customized hair archives.  We have begun to create galleries of Mishi’s personal work, to iconic hair vixens of the century that have paved the way to modern day hairdressing.   As a way of creating inspiration for a full head-to-toe look, we have begun to create archives of makeup and clothes that are in for the season.  It is a great place for ideas when you are in need for a little refresher the next time you step into the salon or go shopping!  Check us out and enjoy!
