Busy Bee

These last couple of days have been super hectic, but completely wonderful as well. I've had so many awesome opportunities lately that I don't even know where to start!

I'm sure all of you know how much I love my school, but seriously, it's amazing.

On Saturday, I was asked by Autumn and Design Team to help with model prep for a fashion show. She told me to get to the school at 7am...on a Saturday...but I wanted to help, so I went. I didn't realize that I would be doing hair for real actual, paid, amazon models. For an actual designer.

Yeah, so cool.

These models walked in, and they were magazine, runway gorgeous. Like 6 feet tall, negative zero size babes. It was so much fun and just a really cool opportunity to broaden my horizons.

Later that same day, I got to be a model for our fashion show, which was also fun! I felt super inadequate after helping real models, but I stuffed myself with bagels and cream cheese, and reminded myself that food is better.

There's more.

Some of you in the hair industry know who Jason Reyes is, but for those who don't, I'll fill you in.

Jason Reyes is one of the best cutting specialists in the business. He is in the Paul Mitchell cutting dvds, a famous stage artist, going to be in a few Paul Mitchell commercials, and is also a phenomenal person all around.

I invite you to check him out on instagram @iliketocuthair and/or YouTube to see some of his work.

Today I had the privilege to take a cutting class at school with him. The class was only $150, and it all went to charity. What a great guy.

$150?? That sounds like a lot, Shea.

No. To put this into perspective, it normally costs upwards of $1000 for a 2 day class with him, so this was a crazy deal. Plus, he is amazing and totally worth the money.

Funny story...

Yesterday, Jason was at the school, and I was able to meet him then. I introduced myself, and told him how excited I was for his class. Me being who I am, having no filter on my mouth, told him to bring his "A" game...to which he replied, "Oh, I will."

I told my friends, and I don't think I will ever live that down...

I'm such a loser.

But the class was awesome. I learned so much, and yes, he did indeed brought his "A" game:)
