The New Year and the Baby Boomer

thestyling — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:45:09 +0000

Time to test the waves of time, especially as this new season is on us. For those who fit into what we know as the baby boomers, I am gonna give a try to turn my focus on the group I am and have always been a part of. This time, with new tips, new techniques, new products. And, all of them are tried and tested. I have put them into use, used them on clients and friends, and have seen great results. Clients love them. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So often, we don’t see the beauty because so much has gotten in the way.

Stay in tune, find out what some of those barriers are, and I will do my best to help you find the beauty that is you. In the 1970′s top hair line companies made many claims that their products had benefits galore but I didn’t see them happen when I used them.

This year, I share how you can do it too. Look better than ever, with technique and products that are easy to do, easy to buy. That’s a win win. What are you waiting for? thx Your personal hair and makeup man. Michael

Yes really Of course What ever you think…

Yes, really? Of course. What-ever you think film making is, you will never really know until you work on one. Starting early, and working within a network that covers the top runway shows of Paris and Rome, top movies, top Television, top Talent across the board it always take the right person to know to get a head. For me, I believe it is all about Jesus.

Sounds heady, but a lot of the work has been. Today there is more demand for persons with these talents than ever. With social media growing Gig by Gig, the value is escalating.

And by the way, filming for Lukewarm has begun. Follow the updates on http://www.IMDB.com. Just search the film title once you are in the link.

Our love of the industry along with experiences, helped us decide to go forward with education to prepare individuals with an experience that is rare on this coast.

Where do you see yourself in 2015? Tell us what you see. thx. M

Timing is everything. Whether you are running to the mall or walking into your business for a day of work, timing is everything. Just two weeks ago, I was standing in line shopping at my favorite local Trader Joes and the fellow in front of me at the register and I spoke for a moment, recognizing our affinity to the same decades, and I suggested we get together for lunch before long. He accepted. Within minutes we were on the phone sharing cell phone numbers. He suggested I google him until our get together and I in turn suggested the same.

You wouldn’t believe who this man is. We haven’t had lunch yet, but the timing was succinct. Another moment and we wouldn’t have spoken. This adventure may never turn into lunch, but the random, or was it, meet was enough to set the pace of the day as perfect. Later that day, I ran into Kim Greenwood of the Miss USA pagent and we had fun catching up. Hadn’t seen her since before her 17 year old son was born. Then, the next day, I was coloring and cutting a clients hair the the studio to find out her son is on the same ball team as Kims. Small world after all.

The newest? “Presenting You”. Yes Monday is the first day for the program to begin at the Maryland Farms YMCA, where clients will learn their best side for the camera. The experiences modeling off and on since the age of 4 has more than prepared me, along with the years of motion picture and television work, to help individuals get their best angle for the camera.

School starts back for the faculty. That’s what my wife is saying. Wouldn’t want to be her. Although, it was great to have a couple of months off, wasn’t it Cheryl?

This summer’s delight. Little Edith Catherine Joy was born June 4 and is she something else. Take a look at her recent trip to the beach. Keep your shades on girls.

Ready when you are!

His hair was not working for him

Now he is ready for the task, whatever that might be

Occasions come and go. Stay ready! You never know when you are going to be face to face with a potential client. Right? A good way to always be prepared is by finding a hair stylist/barber you can count on, and see them regularly. For instance, look at this fellow I met while waiting to speak with the salon owner. In conversation, he explained how dissatisfied with the way he was looking. After making a suggestion, he got on line, found his favorite actor in the cut I had suggested he consider and asked if I would do it. Here’s the before and after.
