Chicago Hair Class Recap

It’s been over a week since I got back from my quick trip to Chicago and I’m finally able to recap the classes I taught while I was there.

I did back to back curling and updo classes, so my hands were covered in hairspray by the end of the night!

The salon I held the classes at is called goldplaited, and it’s a finishing salon. The difference between it and simply a blow dry bar, is that they place a big emphasis on makeup as well as hair. So the “finishing salon” point is that they can assist you in getting fully ready for a special event. I love that concept actually, and wouldn’t be surprised if more salons like goldplaited pop up soon.

We had cupcakes from Sweet Mandy B’s and pretzels from Fatty Sundays!

An old college friend Caitlin made the prettiest name tags that the attendees could set at their station too. Caitlin has an online shop where she sells prints and other things she designs with her calligraphy.

My sister and I scarfed down a slice of Giordano’s deep dish pizza between classes. It was remincient of my days behind the chair when I would never factor in time for lunch and often stuff my face with whatever I could grab between clients.
