I wanted to touch base with you all, because so much has happened in the last few months and i wanted to share some of the amazing insights and reflections i’ve had.
Thanksgiving is approaching and it has me thinking about how grateful i am to my clients and the happiness my business has brought me!
Doing hair and making my clients feel amazing truly is my passion, and that’s honestly what gets me out of bed every single day. You all fulfill me!
BMSCON4
I just got home from a 6 day event with NBR in Laguna Beach and Irvine, CA.
As most of you know, i am apart of a mastermind group with NBR called “BMS” which consists of about 100 NBR artists around the nation where we get together 4-6 times per year.
Our mastermind group met up the first 2 days where we talked more advanced techniques of NBR, business, marketing, and sales training.
The next 3 Days were the annual BMSCON with 300 new students who flew in from all over the world to be certified in NBR!
As many of you already know, i was asked by NBR to be a Platform Artist on stage! This entailed doing a model from start to finish Color, Installation, Cut and Style.
We started our week off with Color Prep!
We got to execute the color before hand at the Mecca of NBR, DKW Styling Salon in Laguna Beach, CA! It was so fun to work in the actual official NBR salon!
This was our team of trainers and Platform Artists, minus a few others. These people are some of my most valued friends in life. I have know all of them for less than a year, since diving into NBR, and i know they have my back and want me to succeed.
It was our job as a team to share our knowledge and experience with the newbie artists who were getting certified.
Most of you know i moved to LA a little under 2 years ago, and i started from scratch rebuilding my clientele from the ground up. It was a very challenging experience and NBR was an amazing tool that helped me grow fast! Many of those students were going through those same challenges and i was able to mentor them through on how i did it.
It was such an honor to be up on that stage with Danielle, the founder of NBR. I was in that crowd of 350 people last year getting certified and it felt so good to see what one year of hard work and dedication did for me.
This was my model, Amber, all styled and finished! We did 2.5 rows of 22” ISLA hand tied hair.
Meeting all the artists and hearing their stories was surreal. I was in their shoes last year and it was so amazing to be able to share my story with them!
This was my good friend Brette, who i have known for almost 12 years. She has been doing hair longer than i have and when i went to BMSCON i told her she had to do it. She is married now, but raised her son as a single mom the majority of his life. She is such a hard worker and i knew she deserved the life she has wanted for so long which is our BMS motto:
“Make More, Work Less, Love Your Life.'“

Skarlett got NBR!
Skarlett is my sidekick almost every day. She helps me so much with relieving my workload for installations and maintenance appointments.
It only took her a few months of helping out to realize she wanted the NBR experience!
This week we signed Skarlett up for her first Intensive training in February with NBR with Danielle K. White (the founder) and Coach Ani in Laguna Beach, CA. I am so excited to see her grow!
The holidays are approaching fast and we have been busy booking new installs for Christmas! We are currently booking through mid-December for appointments.

We can’t wait to see you!
I want to share one last thought before i go that my brother shared with me this week:
If I don’t see you before Christmas have a happy holidays and we will see you in 2020!
Best Wishes, Kiki ❤️
