Hi! I just wanted to tell you a little about my lovely Hairdresser Michelle. She owns and runs the lovely little salon, The Cutting Box in Bocking just outside of Braintree. Michelle is a highly experienced Hair stylist and has done wonders for my hair for nearly seven years. Those who know me, know that I've always found it hard to bond to one hairdresser. I was never a fan of the small talk, the waiting about in the chair and als going back six weeks later and finding the girl I'd bonded with over those three hours had no idea who I was. Thus beginining the process once more. I've also, since a young teen been incredibly intimidated by the prospect of visiting a Salon. For a start you never look your best when you walk in, thats why you are there in the first place. But also I hated being faced with all these young people, with perfect hair. Its a personal thing, but I struggled for years to find someone I liked. Then one day I followed a sign down an alley in Braintree (not usually a good thing) and found a really cute little cottage style salon called 'The Courtyard' and there I found Michelle. Michelle not only remembered me the following visit, we got to know eachother, were pregnant at the same time and really got on! Plus she is really good at her job. 

I was really over the moon when she asked me to do the makeup for her models that were being shot for images for her new website. Michelle moved to Bocking three years ago but has now launched her site, which I think you'll agree looks fab. For the makeup I wanted to create a very 'nude' look, a very polished, flawless look that wouldnt dominate over the Hair styles Michelle was creating. I created a board on Pinterest and gathered my kit and went to work one saturday afternoon in early September. 

I had three gorgeous models and I used a combination of Airbase and Bare Minerals Bareskin for the results. I'm thrilled with the images. There is a sneak peak below, but please have a look under my Photographic section to see the others. Check out Michelle's site here.
