The Mind Faucet: L.A Bound..

Recently I had the opportunity to go to L.A with my school to visit some really cool salons and also go to the ISSE in Long Beach. Immediatley when I got off the plane in Long Beach I realized something that I always do everytime I go to california and that is.. (its perfect)... It was so nice and I think within 15 minutes of us being there we all had traded our winter Utah clothes in for something alot less warm and a load more summer oriented.

We landed on Saturday and headed to Hollywood for some shopping and and then to Rodeo drive to check out some really high end, modern, trendy salons and get a feel of the atmosphere we could be working in someday. I loved it I love the casual yet confidence of the place. Cool shops with really crazy contemporary decor mixed with the comfort of small coffee shops and restuarants which I am sure are spendy as hell to eat at. Either way this was exactly what I think I needed to continue to motivate me and push me in the direction I am planning on taking.

The next day was the show and it was really amazing. Its crazy how huge the expo was and how cheap some of the products were too.. By the end of it all we all had huge bags full of all sorts of cool things to try out and use. Im glad I got it all in my suitcase.. haha

The most influential time of the whole trip was being invited to sit in on a class taught by Phillip Wilson. It was such a great experience to watch on of the top masters in the industry style cut and demonstrate techniques of becoming a stylist. I admire his drive and passion for the industry and more than anything I appreciate the opportunity to learn and be taught by one of the best. -Thanks Larry Curtis-...and Thanks Phillip Wilson

After that we had the time to spend hanging out @Disney and the beach I opted for to go hang out with my friends who live in Hollywood instead of Disney but I wasnt missing the beach..
