Amanda Diva - MANCHILD

  

#Dopeness Amanda Diva is one extremely talented and very beautiful female!  After watching her on The Spark doing her thing--I was throwed seeing her all dramatic & esoteric! Good look mama! Here’s a visual for her latest release “Manchild” produced by Ski Beatz. This song embodies so many bredren in this babylon system--we better wake up while we've got a shot. This is off of her upcoming EP titled Technicolor Lover, which will be dropping soon. I’m definitely digging this video!

Hair Is The ULTIMATE Accessory - Kim K Inspired

If you can't tell by now...I'm OBSESSED with achieving celeb inspired looks! The infamous Kim Kardashian (my ULTIMATE fav dash sister) was one of my latest ByKhabirah Hair Spirations! Kim Kardashian often dresses up when sitting courtside at basketball games but the latest Miami Heat vs. New Jersey Nets game she attended was fancy on a whole other level!  It was only RIGHT to glam up my fab client Lauren Nicole who's always up for a new celeb inspired makeover! When she brought this idea to my attention during our consultation you BETTER believe that I was up for the challenge! #HairStylistForLife

Check out her Kim K inspired fur sleeve as well! #Dopeness

The NO Cut Bob - Taraji Inspired

If you have ever wanted shorter hair (but aren't ready to cut it), here's a commitment-free way to change up your style! Pretty much every year my beautiful client Tiara falls into temptation to chop off her healthy long hair that we've been growing out! I'll admit...Taraji's side swept fringe & gorgeous bob is very tempting! Even better is being able to achieve this celeb look without having to actually do the big chop. Soft, sassy bangs were cut to frame her face and finish off this look perfectly!

For Colored Girls?

I've been getting mixed reviews about For Colored Girls. Should I go see it? Is it depressing? #Iconfess I'm sort of over Tyler Perry. He along with many other African-American filmmakers believe Perry perpetuates "negative african-american stereotypes" ie the bitter or "angry/mad black woman" or "abusive/downlow/imprisoned black man". The stageplay was written by Ntozake Shange but after the rights were purchased by Lionsgate/Tyler Perry it was written, directed and produced by him. From what I hear the play was beautiful. I just want to see myself or the woman I aspire to be in one of his movies and I feel like I haven't yet. Aren't I supposed to? Should I go see it? Hmm? #YourThoughts

Twitter Love and Success

Don't get caught without your business cards #youngprofessionals

...always be prepared for success.

Sometimes I'm simply at a lost for words with the heavy flow of love that I receive from my amazing Twitter followers, Facebook friends and last but most definitely not least my beautiful superstars (my clients)!
Words won't suffice the gratitude and appreciation that I have for all of you!
With that being said, here's some love { ♥ ♥ ♥ } & positive energy { + + + } just for YOU!
Happy Tuesday!

Sephora Haul

Today I headed down to Sephora bright & early to pick up my secret favorite fragrance (which will be featured as well at a later date). *wink*.  I also picked up Turkish Delight lip gloss recommended by a friend...

Retail Value: $24.00 at Sephora

...which reminded me of an interview a while back when Glamblush asked my fav Kardashian, Kim (of course) what her favorite makeup brands were.  Peep her response below!

GlamBlush: What are you favorite makeup brands?

Kim Kardashian: "MAC. I really wear MAC all day long. As for another lip gloss, it would be Nars in Turkish Delight. I love it".

YOU have to try it!

I'll admit that I was pretty skeptical about the quality of this next featured product after sampling it at  Sephora, but after giving it a try this morning before heading to work...almost in an instant I knew that there was NO way I could ever go back to my old mascara!  If a mascara doesn't flake, it stays in my makeup bag forever. 

.

Retail Value: $19.00 at Sephora

Tarina Tarantino's Fleur de Lash Mascara is from the designer's new "makeup-as-accessories" collection. Infused with Vitamin E and shea butter, my lashes still felt soft but demanded attention with their newfound FULLNESS!

Chris Stylez - FADE AWAY

                                      

Okay! So somehow I stumbled upon this new artist by the name of Chris Stylez who's latest single, "Fade Away" was featured on 106Th & Park yesterday. Yes, I said 106Th & Park! Lol! I know right? I haven't tuned into that show since the good old Free & AJ days! Any who, somehow after a great nap this is what I'd awaken to & it's been playing in my head over and over since then!  Cute ℓove story. #ImAFan

Vote or Die

I voted today!  Did YOU?

 If you didn't get one of these today...Guess what?  You're wack!  No!  Just kidding!  Let YOUR voice be heard or don't complain. GO VOTE!  At least do it for the free sticker!  Lol!

‎If "hair" were a person, she'd be my best friend. Gawd! I ♥ what I do...and yes it's 'that' serious. #HairStylistForLife

Can any of you #Glamaholics guess which store this is that I was shopping in today?  Take a wild guess!

 If you guessed "BCBG", you're correct!

Gorgeous Hair Is Just A Brush Away

When I saw this gold flat brush, I had to buy it!  Nylon bristles help build your hair up, not separate it like most.  It's super light weight and the gold paint has stayed on really well! Leaves hair soft, shiny AND it's my favorite color, what's not to love?

Retail Value: $15.00 at Target

A-List Clients

Earlier via Twitter I noticed a tweet from one of my very happy "SUPER STARS" (which is how I refer to my clients) who tweeted: 

Followed by...

"RT @EricaMelody: @Khabirah ..Exceptional salon for an amazing hairsylist! #ItsONLYright"! :) 
What more could a girl ask for? Happy "clients" equals "a happy me"! #IlovewhatIdo

Kind Words from Kiyah Wright

Thank you, Kiyah! You're a blessing! Thanks for giving me that extra motivation and for brightening up my day!  

For those of you who don't know, Emmy Award-winning celebrity hairstylist who has redefined the appearance of sexy, successful and confident women Kiyah Wright is my BIGGEST mentor and inspiration! She even re-tweeted me a few times later that evening! Talk about inspired! What more could a girl ask for, ya know? :-) 

L.A. Yes, indeed...L.A. will be my next place of residency! Kiyah Wright is such an inspiration with a beautiful spirit! Muze Agency needs me!

This isn't my hustle. This is my passion. There's a difference. I have a heart & a degree to prove it. Owning a salon is not the highest level or the ultimate level of success for an ambitious professional. Well, at least not for me. Let's think BIGGER! Let's not get to a plateau & limit ourselves. Do it afraid! Oh yeah, and just so we're clear...there is NO plan B!

Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does. Dream more while you are awake. What other people think of you is none of your business. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without a purpose. 

Whatever YOUR gift is ALWAYS EXPRESS IT in its FULLEST potential! Allow it to evolve in the midst of positive energy & people! Don't allow the enemy to paralyze or convince you NOT to follow your ♥'s desire due to the lack of not knowing your self worth. YOU CAN do it!

If you're going to wear extensions they should always be flawless and most importantly

 you should always have a head full of healthy hair underneath them no matter the length! Here I am without my extensions! I've come a long way from having a short cut (Nia Long inspired) just last fall of 2009! HEALTHY HAIR is always a MUST!
