post-cut - Ellen's hair and cute new 'Do!

      Locks Of Love!

This week we had the pleasure of helping Ellen, a very kind 12 year old girl,  participate in the Locks of Love program.  Locks of Love is an organization that transforms donated human hair into hairpieces for disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.  What a great cause to be part of!  Ellen grew her hair to the required length of 10 inches and came to us to cut it for donation and in exchange we provided her a great new style.  Check out the link below to find out more about Locks of Love and make an appointment anytime at Crimson to participate!!

15 Minutes with Meghan featuring Laura

Urban Dictionary defines a "Jersey Girl" as a girl with 

"a love of an unpretentious good time, and a certain sense of style. 

Jersey girls are about attitude. 

They're about eating pizza, drinking beer, having great hair - and enjoying it all..

She's got a mouth on her. 

She says what she means. 

And she's got a nice, cheerful laugh..

Bottom line, all of them are sexy as hell." 

Although this definition is great one, 
Laura doesn't let anyone or anything define who she is. 
Born a Jersey girl living in Philly, she's got a mixture of sweet and sass. 
Here's an insider's look to get to know her.

M: It's your turn now!

L: "Good 'cause I'm ready for ya!"

M: When did you know you wanted to be a stylist?

L: "Well I want to say it was about 7 years ago. December 2005? I was just ready for a career change at that time in my life."

M: What inspires you?

L: "Honestly?...beautiful people. I know that might sound weird but they do. They inspire me all the time."

M: Who is your biggest role model?

L: "I absolutely love the Olsen sisters! And Gwen Stefani! They're all amazing."

M: Favorite time period?

L: "I love the 50's! I love the fashion and the hair. Oh, I also adore the 20's. Everything is just glamourous. I love, love, love the hair! The short, finger waves. I just adore the short, classy flapper girl style. And the music. Everything!"

M: Favorite fashion trend?

L: "Anything bohemian. I really like the gypsy, tribal style. The hair, jewlery, and clothes. It's just effortless."

M: Least favorite fashion trend?

L: "Ripped up stockings! Ugh! It just isn't flattering. Anything Ke$ha or Miley Cyrus inspired. It just isn't my thing."

M: Favorite hair trend?

L: "I'm in love with beach hair; the waves. It goes with the whole bohemian thing."

M: Least favorite hair trend?

L: "Probably reverse ombre. I'm just not really feeling it."

M: Favorite Bumble and Bumble product?

L: "Ooohh this is a tough one!...I'd probably have to say grooming cream and surf spray! You can use them seperate or cocktail them together. I just really like them!"

M: What are 3 words you would use to describe yourself?

L: "Aw man, really Meg?" (laughs...)

M: Oh come on (laughs)

L: "Oh God, okay. I'd have to say honest and positive...and adventorous? I mean, I try to be! (laughs..)

M: (laughs) That's all that matters!
