LATEST PROJECT CAPTURED

Shoot with Beckstead: DAY 1

Isn't this girl GORGEOUS???? Rachel is Julie Parkers niece and doing hair and makeup on her is a dream!! As you can see, we were able to participate in the "Shoot with Beckstead" project once again. It is always an honor to prep for Davids workshops as some of the most talented photographers from around the country always show up and capture our work in fun new angles. I was able to prep Rachel's hair and makeup for day 1. Heres a couple pictures from Julie's portfolio.

Shoot with Beckstead: DAY 2

For the second days shoot, Enizio was asked to participate for Makeup only. We were able to team up with Keith Bryce of Filthy Gorgeous and Chad from Switch Salon. Jocelyn is the master behind the makeup on these next two photos. Amazing... Julie rocks doesn't she??

Shoot with Beckstead: EXTENDED

Extending one extra day, Heidi and one of the other photographers from the workshop decided to team up and get some additional shots. The photography below is none other than Heidi Uhl of Retrospect Studios, the gowns by, you guessed it, Alta Moda and Hair and Makeup by Carol.

I LOVE WHEN BECKSTEAD COMES TO TOWN!!!!

FEATURING.... KATIES GROOMALS

I mentioned a couple of posts back about our amazing bride Katie who I just adore and love. She's such a trooper for sticking it out through the rain! Heres the beautiful pictures captured by Sweet Memory Garden. Loved them so much, I had to feature them!! Enjoy...

Whahooooooo!

Last night ENIZIO had the opportunity to be recognized by Salt Lake City Magazine as their pick for Best Makeup Artist 2009. I cried. Its a big deal for us because makeup is the reason Carol got into hair to begin with so to be recognized for that after all these years is so incredibly awesome! Thank you so much for the nomination and the votes! This truly means the world to us !!!!! OK more like the galaxy ;D

Who doesn't love balloons?

We recently took our kids to see the movie UP. My son Aden (who is 18 months) LOVES balloons so you can imagine the excitement when the balloons apeared on the screen. He started freaking out screaming babloon, babloon!!

Well who would of thought that balloons would make such great props for all things wedding photography? You can't help but admit that in the end, balloons=happy! Check out this round of photos of beautifully depicted balloon props for wedding and engagement photography.

KATIE

Katie has been my most fun bride up to date. Because her mother was not able to make it into town for her bridal session, Katie hired us to come on-site for her photo shoot. This girl has her wedding down to the last detail, and when she explained all the amazing ideas she had for her bridal photo session I was so excited to be able to be a part of it. Well as our luck would have it, the weather chose not to cooperate and as we were getting ready to push her canoe out into the lake to start her pictures it started pouring on us. We were soaked! Of course we had to get creative and at the bottom of her section here you can see that she was able to capture beautiful images. Shot by Sweet Memory Garden, Katie's session was unforgettable and so much fun!

Oh and her beautiful flower head piece and bouquet... The one and only Audrey from Studio Stems.

IN STUDIO MAKEOVERS

Flavia is the queen bee of makeovers in our studio! She truly does bring out the best in her guests! Here's a beautiful example of what Flavia can do for you! I think we can all agree she looks great!

Kelly's Product Spotlight

NUTRIDEFENSE SPRAY

One of the products we love here at Studio Enizio is the Nutridefense Spray. Its a great "DO IT ALL" product. It detangles, adds shine, makes the hair soft, has anti dryness protection and counters the effects of harsh external aggressions. It's also great for curly hair as  a second day restyler! We recommend this to most everyone! Just shake and spray in damp hair before your other products then style as usual!

Getting along with those you work with

The Enizio Team truly is a team. Aside from rocking hair and makeup together, we know that no matter what, we can count on one another for anything in and out of the studio. A good relationship with your boss and co-workers can make for a healthy career. This is not always easy, believe us, but getting along is just a matter of tolerance, respect, and courtesy. Heres 5 tips we practice at Studio Enizio that can maybe help you get along better with those you work with

1. Be friendly- Even if you don't know someone very well, or tend to be quiet around others go out of your way to say hello. If by chance you have nothing to talk about , reaching out a little bit will let the other person know you care. Practicing this technique will also help you become a more approachable person. 

2. Have some patience- If you are an employee who has a hard time dealing with a few of your co-workers or if they just seem to rub you the wrong way, there is a good chance that they are not meaning to do so. Instead of making a big deal out of it, address the situation in a constructive manner that will still keep the peace. 

3. Don't Gossip- If you ever happen to overhear people gossiping about another co-worker do your part and keep any tidbits you m ay pick up to yourself. Likewise, if you have a problem with another person confront the person yourself or a manager. This will save you from unneeded drama and guard you from unwanted information coming back to haunt you. 

4. Don't pre-judge a person- It's easy to form quick opinions of other people you are working with. Make sure to give everyone a chance and respect their ideas, input and work ethic, even if it does not match yours. Working with other types of personalities can be a great learning experience. 

5. Don't be a hypocrite- Don't complain about others doing things you may be doing yourself. If you happen to see another employee that takes too much time off, focus on yourself to call in less often, and take fewer unneeded vacation days. If you see another person spending most of their work time on email, personal phone calls, and other personal business, focus on yourself again to make sure not to do those things while on the job.

STEPHANIES MUST HAVE SUMMER PRODUCT LIST

Just like our skin gets sunburned and damaged from the sun our hair also takes a beating as well. The Kerastase Soleil line offers a personalized regiment for hair that is exposed to the aggressions of sun, wind and chlorinated or salt water. These harsh elements produce free radicals which attack the hair fiber leaving it dry, dull and weakened. 

Here are some of my must have products for the summer months

Bain Apres-Soleil (your shampoo)

*Nurtures and helps repair the hair fiber

* Easy detangling and softness

* Light, balancing cleanser

Creme Richesse (your conditioner)

* Intense nourishment

*Leaves the hair incredibly silky

*Restores softness and smoothness

Creme UV Defense Active (Your styling creme for all day protection)

*Double UV protection

*Treatment effect resists exposure to chlorinated water and salt water

*Smoothes and encloses the fiber 

*Provides shield like protection against environmental aggressions

*Helps preserve color's radiance

STEPHANIES SUMMER PROMO: PURCHASE ANY 2 SOLEIL PRODUCTS AND RECEIVE A COMPLIMENTARY KERASTASE BEACH BAG! (They are really cute!)

PUMP UP THE VOLUME JOCELYN STYLE

If you feel like your hair is falling flat immediately after your blowdry, or feel like you simply cannot achieve the volume you would like, here are some tips to help you pump up the volume in your style:

Apply Kerastase Volumactive Mousse, or Mousse Nutri-Sculpt to towel-dried hair (about a golf ball size). Work it in at the roots with your fingertips until dissolved.

Next, lift the hair up, one inch section-by-section, and apply Volumactive spray starting at the root, from about six inches away. Finger-comb through the ends.

Begin your blow dry at the roots. You may either hold the hair up with your fingers or a small vent brush, or bend upside-down, but focus the airflow on the roots.

*if the roots are not dry before the ends, or before the style is completed,

they will automatically fall, no matter how many volumizing products are in

your hair.

Only begin to round brush once the roots are 100% dry. Direct the hair straight up with the round brush for more fullness.

*for extra hold, press the cold-shot button on your dryer and run the brush

through a final time.

Finish with the new Double Force Controle Ultime hairspray for an all-day hold.

SKIN CARE 101

The first step to exceptional makeup is exceptional skin.  Just like hair, in order for skin to look and feel healthy it needs proper nourishment.  Here is a simple breakdown of ingredients to look for in your skincare:

 

Antioxidant:  fights free-radicals  (i.e. pollution, environmental damage, uv rays)

 

Vitamin A:  helps fight aging.  Typically applied at night because it makes your skin sensitive to sunlight.

 

Vitamin C:   antioxidant.  Boosts natural collagen production to prevent wrinkles and plump skin.   Great for acne-prone skin.

 

Vitamin E:  heals and moisturizes.  Can be applied to new scar tissue to help minimize scarring.

CAROL & I had the opportunity to spend an evening with Geno Stampora who will be inducted into the NAHA Hall of Leaders this summer. As one of the most influential Hairdressers in the Industry, Geno deserves the award 100 times over. I have never left an educational session more ready to take on my career than that with Geno. A hilariously motivating class, Carol and I were reminded of the importance of our jobs, our positions and the influence we can really have. There is such a stereotype about hairdressers and makeup artists but as in all things, its what you make and think of it. I am so proud to do what I do. Its very rewarding to help people feel good about themselves as well as realizing that it takes true talent to do what we do.
Thanks Larry for the opportunity to meet Geno and pick at his brain for one night!

Curly Hair Tips and Tricks for both Artists and Clients

Do you find curly hair more difficult to style? Do you find that no matter how much product you use, the hair still looks frizzy? Do you have trouble finding a product that leaves the hair soft and shiny but also has hold? Here is a set of steps I have found to be very helpful when styling clients with curly hair.

1. Make sure you use a cream curl product. Gels and mousses tend to harden and flake leaving the hair looking filmy and full of product. Curly hair today is soft and moveable.
2. Don’t be afraid to use a lot of curl crème when the hair is towel dried. If you can use more, use more. Curly hair is naturally more dry so it shouldn’t make the hair feel or look unclean.
3. While the hair is still damp, part and place the hair in the style you would like before you start diffusing then don’t touch the hair again until it’s dry. If you do need to touch it, make sure there is product on your fingers so you don’t separate hairs and create frizz.
4. The keys to diffusing are LOW heat and LOW airflow. High heat and airflow are two main causes of frizz.
5. DO NOT turn your client upside down to diffuse. Just put the diffuser right up against the head and work on one section at a time. This will require a little bit of patience, but the end result makes it worth it!
6. When the hair is dry, use a light creamy finishing product on your fingertips and gently set your fingertips on the scalp. Making sure not to disturb your finished style, rub your fingertips in tiny circles on the head, one section of the head at a time, to separate any hair that is stuck to the scalp so the hair is more moveable. Remember to pull your hands straight out from the head before moving to your next section. Also use this product in your hands to gently squeeze the hair together in any spots where you do find frizz.
7. Finally, use a very small amount of light hold aerosol hairspray over your finished style, and voila! Perfection!

To achieve this look, here are the products I would strongly recommend:

Bain Oleo-Curl Shampoo
Oleo-Curl Masque
Oleo-Curl Crème- Curl Definition Crème
Lumiere Nutri-Sculpt- Illuminating Finishing Crème
Double Force- Multi-Protective Spray.

All products are in the hydrating Nutritive line by Kerastase

A LESSON ON DIVERSION

What is Diversion?

When Professional Products are sold in unauthorized retailers - Think Bumble and Bumble at Target, Paul Mitchell at Alberston's, Kerastase at Nordstrom's, etc. Professional products are only to be sold at authorized salons.

Why is Diversion bad?

Diverted products can be counterfeit, diluted formulas, or old, expired formulas that may not be safe to use. Meaning your getting watered down shampoos and conditioners, styling products that are expired or better yet, Suave in a professionally branded bottle. Imagine paying 58 bucks for a bottle of Suave!

Who is Diverting?
Products are diverted by unauthorized distributors and salons or their employees, plus other dishonest individuals who see profit in piracy.

What can you do about Diversion?

Buy from professional retailers only. Its the only way any professional brand can guarantee its product. Expired formulas could cause irritation or worse, you don't get to see what professional products can really do for your hair.

Now, Im talking any professional brand - Matrix, Paul Mitchell, Pureology, Logics, Redken, Bumble and Bumble, Davines, Dermalogica, Shu Uemura, and the list goes on and on.

If you see a professional product anywhere other than a salon retail location, its Diverted. Period.

Now most of these formulas are within cents of the salon cost. Im talking pennies. Sometimes they are more expensive but because you see it at a discount store you automatically believe that no matter what the price is on the sku, because of where your at it means its cheaper. WRONG! Don't be fooled.

Buy Professional from a Professional!

If you question where you buy your products or have any concerns- if your a professional and know your brands are being diverted, leave a comment, share with the consumer your thoughts. Help spread the word about diversion and how STUPID it is. Leave a comment!

Enizio @ the Utah Latino Bridal and Quinceañera Show

Today we had the opportunity to do the hair and makeup for the beautiful Latin beauties at the Latino Bridal Show. I know how much everyone loves to see before and afters so I took these for your enjoyment.Heres our hot latina models-

And Im totally biassed to my sis that I love so much. She's such a babe!!

Heres Gen and the lovely Jessica who put the show together and hired us for the job. She was amazing and I feel very honored to have had our team work with someone as wonderful as her. Thanks Jessica!!

Cheers to Retrospect for all they are achieving!

Theres a quote that says something like "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same"
Thats how I feel about Tim and Heidi.
I know I over post about how much we work with them and how much I love them but you can't not talk about people who have made a difference in your life. Carol and I have been laughed at and ridiculed many times about our idea to start Enizio On-Site. I can't even tell you! It was so refreshing to meet people who believed in you and encouraged, helped and pushed you to be the best. Those are the people you want to keep close and thats why we work so heavily with Retrospect as well as Alta Moda, Studio Stems and the other vendors you see listed to the right of this page.
Tim and Heidi were just recently featured in the American Entrepenuer Project. Just link here to read the article and you have to see the cute picture. Its totally Heidi and Tim.
Anyway, I am so proud of them and so proud to work with them.
Heres to Tim and Heidi! A blessing from Heaven! Way to go guys!!!

Natalie

Check back next week for her before and after makeup shots! This girl is so beautiful.

Larry hooks it up!

Enizio was invited to the grand opening of the Taylor Andrews Orem location that was held last night. It was so lovely! Greg and I had a chance to rub shoulders with some great hairdressers and of course Larry and Sheri Curtis who are always such a pleasure to chat with. It was fun to be back in the school environment and reminisce of my beauty school experiences. Best of all, Enizio artists took home both giveaways. Greg and I won tickets to the North American Hairdressing Awards in Las Vegas and Stephanie won a full day with Phillip Wilson- world renowned hairdresser. Talk about lucky!

This afternoon we were back at Taylor Andrews for Yosh Toya- who's won “Hairstylist of the Year” Award, the AVEDA “Master of the Art Award,” the “Award of Distinction” from Logics University, Haircolor USA Arts & Sciences “PEP Lifetime Achievement Award,” The International Haircolor Exchange’s “Heart Award,” Modern Salon’s reader’s choice “75 Top Educators of the Country,” “The Grand Trophy of the Professional Press for Best Commercial Hairstyle” by the Association of International Professional Press, and most recently NAHA, North American Hairstyling Awards, “Lifetime Achievement Award.”

AMAZING!!!

Thanks Larry :)

First ever Latino Bridal and Quinceañera show

This saturday we will be taking part in the first ever Latino Bridal and Quinceañera show in UT.

This is a big deal for us because being latin, we have always wanted to be a part of the latin wedding industry. We have been asked to participate by designing the hair and makeup for the runway show. We are very honored. Now Venezuela is not one that banks on Quinceañeras but having had the opportunity to bask in most latin cultures in my life, I know what a Quinceañera consists of and Ill tell you that those events are at times bigger and more glorious then the future wedding that young girl will have one day. So its a fun thing to be a part of!

So join us this saturday at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center in West Valley for the first Latino Bridal and Quinceñera show ever to be held in UT!

See you there!!!
