This gorgeous young lady trusted us completely with her transformation.
Molly created a beautiful balayage, and I designed a soft long layered cut with added tape in extensions for extra volume and movement.
Thank you Seth for capturing it all and making us look great behind the scenes.

Here’s a bit…
WITH GRATITUDE
After more than three decades with Gene Juarez, he still styles hair at the location at The Shops at The Bravern in Bellevue. Todd’s career arc mirrors the values he lives by: curiosity, discipline, and deep gratitude. From folding towels
in the salon at 17 to traveling the world with industry legends, he credits mentorship, community, and the women who’ve sat in his chair for shaping not just his career, but also his life. These days, he finds inspiration everywhere - from red carpet beauty to the creative energy of younger colleagues - but what grounds him most is reflection. The persona he once carefully constructed now feels sincere, fully lived in. Looking ahead, Todd is clear-eyed and thankful. “I never thought I’d get to be the creature I always meant to be.”

As I head into my 56th year, the past few months have had their challenges, but I am back at full steam and feeling good.
It had been more than 10 years since I had taken a professional headshot or promotional photo, so thank you to Andrew Hogue, 425 Magazine, and Studio B in Issaquah for helping capture some new ones right as I hit this birthday. A special thank you as well to Editor in Chief Lisa Patterson for including me in the March issue of 425 Magazine, on newsstands now.
I appreciate everyone who has continued to support and encourage me along the way. And most of all, thank you to Mr. Kyle Duarte for being by my side through it all.
Fair warning, a few more vanity posts may be coming your way.

We gather today to say goodbye to Catherine O’Hara, a once in a generation talent who made comedy smarter, stranger, and infinitely more stylish.
From her groundbreaking work on SCTV to unforgettable roles in Home Alone, Beetlejuice, and Best in Show, she built a career out of impeccable timing and fearless choices. And then she gave us Moira Rose, a character so fully realized, so wildly specific, that she changed the cultural conversation and our vocabularies forever.
Through Moira and Schitt’s Creek, Catherine reminded us that reinvention is possible at any stage, that vulnerability can wear couture, and that joy often arrives with a dramatic pause and a perfectly placed wig.
Sleep well Darling ‘BeyBey’ I hope someone is singing ‘Danny Boy’ for you tonight.

Thank you, everybody I made this possible all the gorgeous models and all the talent that GJ that I get to sharing the magic with and Seth Garrington for doing all the wonderful edits!
Repost from GJ! What a gorgeous woman and what a head of hair!
We showed you how Kerastase Gloss Absolu following a color refresh by Dylan of University Village transformed a rough natural texture into that effortless ’90s bombshell blowout.
Today, James of Bellevue takes Hannah from her natural texture to a polished, Cindy Crawford–meets–Versace inspired finish! Smooth, lifted, and full of that unmistakable supermodel bounce.
And to set the look?
Kitsch Velcro Rollers, the classic tool making a very modern comeback—and the perfect holiday stocking stuffer for anyone who loves a great blowout.
Gloss, volume, runway-level movement.
A timeless look that never stops trending. 💁♀️✨
