You know when you’re BFF’s with your hair-stylist, and you’ll literally go anywhere to get that hair-fix?! I honestly look forward to my time in the chair (when I used to absolutely dread it!) Finding a stylist is similar to dating, really. It’s important to find someone you trust, understand & ultimately enjoy being with. They also have to understand your (sometimes) odd requests, and assist you whole-heartedly in the process.

As soon as I stepped into Northbrook’s Sassoon Salon, they not only made me comfortable, but relaxed! Everyone is so welcoming, and warm — the best feeling! Over the weekend, I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Top Stylist, Lauren Shaffer. (You’ll be seeing more of her later this week, so stay tuned). I wanted to create a fun braid for Randolph Street Fest (A fun Chicago street-festival). I conveyed the importance of an ‘attainable’ braid // I wanted my readers (you!) to feel like you could create yourself! How many times have you been on Pinterest looking for a fun hair-style, and thought to yourself, ‘there’s absolutely no way I could create that’? (Totally me!) Look no further! Lauren created something cute, fun & flirty — listening to my requests, and hitting a home-run in the process. We also wanted to create something that was messy-chic, undone & festival ready! You never want to look too ‘put-together‘ when it comes to outdoor street-fests, so this was the perfect look for me.

I find it important to let your stylist do the driving. I gave a general direction with the style, but ultimately left it up to Lauren — since she’s the expert. It’s not easy to give up control, but I find that it helps with a happy end-result. Also, it’s important to speak up. Talk together, and work together to achieve what you’re looking for. It’s a win/win! We also had a ton of fun in the process, and already exchanged numbers to hangout in the very near future!

Thanks, Cristina! Yes, definitely something you can do on your own! (Errr, maybe not so much me!) ha!
I love this hairstyle! I wish I was more skilled with doing my own braids, even the simplist ones become difficult for me!
I am in the SAME boat! Maybe with some practice, we can create some magic! Thanks for the comment! xx

That is such a cute braid, I love the sort of halo effect it has! I still haven’t found the right hairstylist and I dread getting my hair done because I have yet to find someone I love. Hopefully I will find them soon!
