About care and cosmetics with a story
The treatment system begins with skin cleansing: for this I like to use hydrophilic oils, after which there remains an additional sensation of moisture. When traveling, I always take micellar water with me. I also like to take a shower: I have a lot of different body gels, especially Aesop brands, but they all end quickly. The shower is a high, in the morning after it you charge for the whole day.
It is important for me that the products are interesting not only with fragrances and textures, but also look good. It is also important that the cans I buy have a story. For example, a special perfume called Côte d'Azur has been developed for the Oribe brand - and it really takes you to Cote d'Azur. Some products are marked with a pink ribbon - this means that part of the money received from sales, goes to help in the fight against breast cancer.
The tools you see here are a proven history over the years. There are products that are alive to me: they have a small shelf life. I buy them because I want clients to get the best of everything. Friends give something, but everything is close to me in spirit. When you find the perfect set of tools and start mixing them together, there is room for experimentation. For example, many people love smells. When I work, I can put each tool on the palm of my hand and create in the face of an aroma plume so that a person plunges into a different atmosphere. Everything that I use brings me to the world of childhood memories: I grew up in Kyrgyzstan, where I was surrounded by gardens and flowers, so I love fragrances.
About Experimental Products
I have Kevin.Murphy lacquer, which has several effects: if applied close to it, it will work as a liquid, if sprayed from a distance, it will become dry. There is a spray that can be used both as a dry shampoo and as a texturizing agent to put the hair in a bun or other hairstyle. I also adore everything related to eyebrows: they set the architecture and face harmony. I need all the cosmetics in order to play with myself.
About hair
I wash my head every two to three days, using texture sprays and dry shampoo. This allows me to maintain cleanliness and texture of hair for a long time, I really love loose, moving hair. I choose shampoos on the basis of what my scalp is, choosing shampoo by hair type is a delusion. To understand what kind of skin you have, you need to watch her a little, see how she behaves - it’s difficult to find your remedy from the first time.
Another life hacking: before you wash your hair, you must comb your hair - this is how the scalp gets a massage, and the risk of getting even more tangled hair after washing is less. Combing before bedtime helps the hair to remain strong and dense. Of course, I do not use these methods every day, I am a shoemaker without shoes. I care more about clients and girlfriends and give them all these recommendations. But as soon as I myself have free time for the procedure, I get high.
About the profession
When I was four years old, my mother always helped her best friend at the hairdresser, and took me with her. When we were hanging out there, I saw people coming and changing beyond recognition in an hour — it charged me so much that I thought, “Yes, I want to be a hairdresser.” I myself have never liked to have a haircut, I made tantrums. But I am madly in love with changing people, showing unusual images - time passes, and they say that this is the best thing they decided on. I do everything according to the sensations, I have rituals: haircut for love, haircut for a cool mood. So my job is almost magic. It's great when you can make people enjoyable, kind, and they are ready to participate in this game and receive emotions.
I thought that my profession was not serious - until a friend noticed that not everyone can make people happy with his work. When a girl's life changes and she comes to me to cut or dye her hair, she already feels different, sexy, confident, wants to change - and this also motivates me. I travel all the time, looking at interesting haircuts, colors, textures that I try in new works. I can not say that I am yesterday and I today are one and the same person. I have never had work fatigue, I always take scissors with me when traveling: it often happens that I cut or paint someone in a hotel or a guest. My work is with me forever, I love her very much.
