Manchester!!!

This weekend I will be working in Manchester! I will be helping educate hairdressers on new techniques in cut, colour, and style. It is such an honour to be working alongside some amazing, inspirational people.

I’m really looking forward to getting back into the education side of my work. I love the rush you get when you show somebody something new or different that they may have not necessarily have thought of themselves. I always come away from these events feeling very motivated and I find that even though I am teaching, I learn things too. ‘Teacher Learns Most!’ Constant training and education is a massive part in hairdressing, as trends change and products and styles are continuously updated. It is important to keep up to date what is going on, no only in the world of hair, but with fashion too.

I’m very excited to see some of my friends who I work along side with at these inspirational workshops, and

I cant wait to do more of these vents throughout the year!

I have been working at these educational events for 3 years now and its just an incredible experience. I have included a video of an event I worked at last year just so you guys can see what kind of thing we get up to on these workshops!

I’m not even sure whereabouts I am going to be in Manchester, or how many we will be educating. All I know is there will be a team of roughly 20 of us, and we will be teaching a colouring technique and a disconnected haircut which uses the primary shapes (circle, square, triangle) and graduation, layering and one length all in one haircut!

So if anyone is in Manchester on Saturday night feel free to get in touch! I might be near you!

Champagne Thursday

So tonight I have been to one of the highlights of my week which is the famous Champagne Thursday! It really is an amazing evening.

Champagne Thursday is and evening myself and another of my best friends came up with. I’m not even sure how it began. We would get together every week, play a few tunes on the piano and do a bit of singing, and at the same time have a bottle of champagne. After a few weeks this became a regular thing and as it was usually on a Thursday. We decided to call it champagne Thursday. It does sound a bit pretentious but actually its just a nice evening with great music, even better company, random conversions and of course, champagne.

A champagne Thursday isn’t complete without at least one song from Vanessa Carlton from the fantastic album ‘Ben Not Nobody’ . I do love this album, and I forget how old it is until I hear it again. Its hard to think that this album is 9 years old. I remember listening to it when I was younger. Cant believe how time fly.

Another thing about champagne Thursday. It would not be complete without a little bit of pole dancing. We always do have a play on the pole. I actually do not and cannot do pole dancing, but it is a good laugh. My friends are very good at it though and it is brilliant to see them hold their body around a pole holding them selves up just by their legs. Its not an easy thing to do, but it does look amazing.

And finally, to finish off the evening we do have to have at least one Disney song on. At the moment it is either a track from ‘The Little Mermaid‘, ‘The Lion King‘, or The Princess and the Frog‘. This week we listened to ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ sang by Ursula the sea witch on ‘The Little Mermaid’ This has to be my favourite Disney film of all time.

Anywayzzz, it is getting late and I have a busy day tomoz. Thanx for checking in. Please do become a follower. Would make me happy

Ciao!

Welcome to my blog!!!

As this is my first blog I wanted to quickly introduce my self and tell you a bit about me.
So my alias is Cyclops Zigzag. Obviously that is not my real name. It’s a name I was given by my friends who said that when I do the make up, the hair, and wear unusual things I turn into a different person . So my Alter Ego was created , and here I am!
Now I’m creating a blog because I love meeting new people. All different kinds of people and what better and quicker way to get in touch with people than the internet. I will be updating and adding new posts quite regular about anything and everything. From my day to day life, to new fashions, world news and music. But I also want to hear from you guys. Your opinions on the topics I’m going to cover. As I said I am fascinated by people and want to know other peoples views on things I feel passionate about.
So another little thing about me, I’m a hair designer, and I have a huge passion for my work. Its an amazing industry to be in and I am thankful everyday that I get to do a job that is so rewarding. Its artistic, I can be creative, and best of all I get to meet wonderful people! It’s a job I wasn’t sure I wanted to do, but 8 years on and I’m thrilled I actually have a job that I love. I also work on an Artistic Education Team and get to travel around the county. So you never know I might be in an area near you at some point!

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog, and please become a follower!! Thanks Guys
