History of Foolproof Updoing

Foolproof Updoing© is all about "passion"! Updos have always been my obsession. I remember when I went to work at a departmentalized salon and had to choose color or cutting and styling. It seemed like the hardest decision in the world to make. Even so, like a sign from above, when I was leaving that interview, I walked past a beautiful bride checking out. It was a Tuesday. I knew she wasn't getting married that day. She had just done a practice. She was there for me!! What's the chance of me walking out at the time of her departure? As I looked at her beautiful up style, I thought to myself, "If I choose color, I'll NEVER do a bride again." The thought was pure agony to me! The choice was made. I followed my sign from above and chose to cut/style.

As my career advanced, it was clear I have a natural talent for styling hair up. After training with some of the best in the industry, I began educating updos to the salon staff. The material I was using was ok. The best I had come up with to date. I wasn't thrilled with it, but it was working. One day, a stylist said to me, "I've seen this before. I have this paper at home. I got it at the salon I used to work at." As you can imagine, I was crushed and stunned!! Someone was using my exact class to teach their staff. Well, I'd LOVE to call and thank that person now! Because of that episode, I rethought my strategy. Totally and completely revamped it.

Knowing I had to come up with something like never seen in the business, I racked my brain. What could I do? What could I do? In my creative night thinking, it came to me. ~~ Like a gift from above. It's incomprehensible to me where this information came from. I could hardly sleep that night! Over the course of about 5 years, I developed it and shaped it into what it is today... the fool proof updoing system©!

I truly am enthused about this information. It's my dream for all stylists to experience it. It puts the excitement back into upstyling for most people. It takes the stress away for most. It keeps me motivated and inspired as my career progresses. It puts passion into styling a bride, a bridesmaid or a prom girl. Passion is what this business is all about!
