Making a new ‘how to’ video for my new packaging…

I’m not a fan of making videos, I have still not got used to being in front of a camera trying to talk naturally, but I knew it had to be done. I have already had my new packaging for my products for about 4months now and I still have my old video up on my blog. (saved well by Robin Hong)

Anyway I ended up enlisting the help of my brilliant model Kerina, who has been the face of JujuChan so far. I figured it would look so much better to have a gorgeous face on it rather than me showing you how to use the new packaging.

My client introduced me to Graham Howes, a videographer (but he does allsorts of other useful stuff too) who efficiently helped us shoot the video and do some voiceovers that day. I just wanted to share some pictures from that fun day with you, including one of Kerina’s gorgeous shoes : )

Shot in Dekko Salon (plenty of natural lighting) with Melina De Lara (make up artist) doing a great job with Kerina’s make up, anyway I will soon post my new ‘How To’ video for you to check out, till then enjoy the pics…

My Pick ~ Black and Red

I love this picture, the haircut, color and styling is so strong and vivacious. Great angle for the photography too. I wish I could give credit where its due and tell you who did the work but alas I came across it online  in a beauty website called beauty-zone.org.

Well, whoever did this should be pretty proud of this one, well done..

My Pick ~ Girlie crops

Three very  lovely cropped hairstyles, shaped delicately to the head shape, giving what I would call the Jean Seberg/Mia Farrow pixie look. Its looks like these that I hope will show women in America that short hair can indeed look soft and sophisticated and that its not just for that European look. Jada Pinkett Smith said it so well recently when defending her daughter Willow in her choice to have very short hair. I will post a link here as its definitely worth a read.

Sophiya Haque ~ 1971 ~2013

For those of you who don’t know her, Sophiya was a talented actress, singer, dancer and presenter, as well as  a wonderful funny gorgeous human being.  I had the pleasure of meeting and  working with Sophiya during her MTV Asia/Channel V stint as a VJ in Hong Kong in the 90’s.

Since her VJ days Sophiya went on to star in many of London’s West End Musicals. ‘Bombay Dreams’ (by Andrew Lloyd Webber) was the musical afew of us old friends were able to last see her star in.. Fantastic and Brilliant Show. She also had a role in ‘The Wanted’ with Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy to name afew.

For more details on her story …. Sophiya Haque

Sophiya passed away last night to the shock of many friends and family around the world. At 41, she was way too young with way too much to offer still. With only several weeks notice she was diagnosed with cancer and died suddenly but peacefully in her sleep.

Sophiya was fun, she was adventurous with her hair and she allowed me to create and try allsorts of styles. If it didn’t work, we would try something different but we worked together for many years and she trusted that I would always make her look good. As my tribute to her I am showing you my favorite styles that I created on her back in the day.

You will me missed by many… Heaven will be welcoming one hell of a sassy chick! Love to you beautiful Sophiya, we’ll never forget you <3

My Pick ~ Miss A

Another member of the Korean band Miss A, These shots of Min were taken from the video ‘Bad Girl, Good Girl’ hence the slight fuzziness. I liked her asymmetric haircut and thought I would add it to my picks because it’s a style that’s simple yet by taking one side of the hair shorter it can add a lot more character to the shape. A shape all clients can relate to…
