I’ve been released from my oath of secrecy, and can now share some sweet photos I took for a classmate’s entry into the student NAHA category. While it’s sad she didn’t place, it’s great that she tried! And I had a fun time doing photos and not having to worry about the hair at all for once!

And here’s a bunch of random photos from the day:
Well, I’m about to leave for school to begin dressing my model for my student entry for NAHA. A number of students in my school are entering, and the school will pick the three best. Then the best from all schools will be further eliminated, and the entries left will be submitted to NAHA. Scary! Do you ever have that dream where there’s a test you didn’t study for and you’re in your underwear?
Well, today was the first day of Cycle 3. (Yes that’s right – I’ve “Graduated”, but I’m not finished school yet. Weird!)
This is the more complicated up-do stuff, and bizarrely, anatomy…and makeup. In the hair program! Not the esthetics program, not the makeup course, nor the massage course… Weird, weird school this is.
So anyway, sometime this week I’m going to be covered in makeup when we have to pair off and do makeup on each other. Wonder if I’ll look as awesome as Hedwig.

And also, remember awhile back when I was complaining about how we didn’t get enough time to practice anything, or time to complete practical exams and etc, with the brand new curriculum? Well, the September class has a revised curriculum. They have lots more time to practice… And their practicals aren’t timed. They have all day to do them. Yay. *golf clap*
It doesn’t bother me though, if school was easy I wouldn’t try as hard.
I am a bit worried about finding models though… We need more models, the last one was sprung on us today. I have 10 days to find a guy for a taper cut practical, and in two days I need to turn in my ideas for entering the student category in NAHA, along with photos of the three models that I don’t have.

I’ve already used up my family and friends, and still don’t know anyone here… And none of the people I’ve seen in the salon would be suitable. (The NAHA ones have to be young, skinny, and attractive. We were specifically told that. Which makes sense, if you’re trying to win NAHA… But it sure does limit your potential model pool.)
Hmm…
I just got back from Las Vegas, where I went to NAHA! NAHA is the North American Hairstyling Awards, a big award thing in the industry. It was crazy cool. I got to see lots of big names, the show was cool (but loooong), with some dance numbers. While I was in Vegas I went and checked out ARCS (A Robert Cromean Salon), it was cool! A very nice guy named Christopher gave us a tour of the place, and let us play with their wicked floating blowdryers!
