I hear that Kimberly Jones has launched another business. She is co- owning a hair salon with a relative Katrise Jones. That is very nice of her and we all know we love to get our hair done. I was just at the salon today and gosh It was packed. Thats one thing about african american women, we will get our hair done if it killed us! Congrats to her and her cousin, I hope it does extremely well! Check out these promo shots taken by Celebrity Photographer Derek Blanks.

Katrise very first salon, Salon Se Swa, opened in Ralegh, Noth Carolina in 2004.

She wants the chain of salons to be affordable for the everyday woman and the prices are very reasonable. In case your wondering, $10 for wash and sets, $10 trims, & $35 and up for relaxers.That sounds reasonable to me lol.

I hear the next place to open will be here in Atlanta,Ga alrighty then!

Christian Balenciaga(GeishaBoii)

I’ve been seeing alot of Christians work all over town.He is a celebrity makeup artist here in Atlanta and I was dying to try him out. We connected on twitter (both of our social network hangouts) and we set up a date for me to come by. First I would like to say he is very sweet.I loved his personality and we vibed right off the rip. When I got to his house, I noticed the house decor. I was so impressed by the artwork and decor of his home it was quite exciting to look at wow! He loves asian inspired artifacts, plus he goes by GeishaBoii anyway, I kinda knew what to expect.

I’m feeling pretty!

I was greeted by four fluffy furry animals! Im not a fan of animals but his doggies were gorg! I met Tahjz and Tyson. All his dogs were so cute and friendly. He had everything set up and we proceeded to “Beat me down” as he liked to call it. We chatted about people he liked to work with and some celeb faces he has done. I asked Christian who was some of his favs and what kinda of faces he likes to work with. He told me he loves to work on women with alot of facial features. Women with keen features he loves. Some of his clients include singer Monica,comedian/talk show host Monique and soo many more. He said its hardly any women in the industry that he has not beat lol.

I’m feeling this look,yes!

I was going to an event last night and he told me to come over to work his magic. As you can see when I’m not working I’m in sweat pants and t-shirts and hair pulled back.I’m very low key at home or out and about, just like Christian. He said alot of people take him the wrong way but he is just very quiet and subdued. I’m not as quiet as he is but I totally understand  him. He said he just wants to do great work in a field he loves. I can totally respect that and his art.

Ready to go tackle the red carpet lol

We talked and laughed and his mom even stopped by. She came by to make him some dressing, which he says is his favorite. He said I was pretty easy to do but some clients can take awhile to achieve a total look. I do know that Christian likes to also get into character when he goes out. I’ve snapped him a couple of times dressed up. I almost dont recognize him on the red carpets, he brings the drama…Pow! If  your looking for a makeup artist please check out some of Christians work. He is on facebook and twitter just look up www.twitter.com/geishaboii or Christian Balenciaga on facebook! Thanks Christian I love my look, you beat me down lol!
