As featured in this week's SF Bay Guardian, this evening Morphic presents the cult classic horror film Bride of Frankenstein.
This movie is packed with style! From beautiful costume design and impressive makeup to, of course, one of the most iconic film hairstyles of the century. Check out our hand-crafted Pinterest board for some spooky, gorgeous Bride of Frankenstein inspiration!
This is an extra special night, because I will be accompanied by my guest speaker, author of The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, and film aficionado, Francis Kohler. Kohler's book is a tale told in photographs about an unsuccessful reunion between Frankenstein's Monster and his iconic Bride-to-Be.
We will be in full costumes, so we are encouraging you to join us in a little early Halloween attire for the occasion!
MWWAHAHAHA!!!!!!

The 60's were a very special time for hair. We keep returning to it in our Hair Movie Night series because there is an infinite supply of inspiration to draw from. And what hairdresser can deny their love for the big, glamorous, foxy hair in Barbarella?
I love this film because it's so outrageous and provocative, without being overly sexual. Barbarella might be a temptress, but she also maintains her doe-eyed innocence!
For this shoot, we used our brand new Halo Couture pieces to give our model's hair that Victoria Secret effect. I originally set her hair in hot rollers, but went back over it with a curling iron to spruce up the waves a bit more.
A while back, my wig friend Roselie showed me how to backcomb a curl in the crown, then roll, and bobby pin it to the scalp. This technique is what helps keep that bouffant voluminous! (Though the San Francisco wind immediately started to deconstruct my teasing effort!)
For color, I applied a gold and chestnut balayage highlight six weeks before the shoot. The day of the photo shoot, we gave her a fresh trim and did a L’Oreal Dia Light 9.03 toner to revive the shine and sparkle.

If you missed it, we can still hook you up with an awesome braid (just not for free).

I often get clients who said they found me specifically looking for a stylist who knows how to work with Asian hair. At this point, I’m so used to doing it, I don’t even hesitate!
I know that Asian hair is going to pull red when the color is lifted out. It also takes a while to lift that super dark hair! If you have Asian hair and want a dramatic ombre, it's probably going to take two services to achieve the look you want.
This Morphic beauty (we'll call her J) was ready to change it up and go a little blonder! It's the second round of balayage highlights I've done for her, and this time we added layers to the all-one-length hair J has had for a couple of years.
I love J's glamrock foxy locks! The blonder balayage highlights turned out so well.
Are you ready to lighten your super-dark hair yet?
