My NYC Devachan Trip!

Hey everyone! I just thought I would share a little information about my trip to NYC to study under the co-founder of Devachan and Deva Concepts!

A little information about Deva just in case you don't know what it is: Deva is a concept created just for curly hair. It has become quite the phenomenon across the world. They have a special cutting technique and coloring technique that I was lucky enough to learn from the creators. Also they have DevaCurl a wonderful product just for curls! Tad bit of info you might enjoy - Sarah Jessica parker goes to Devachan in NYC!

I flew into NYC Sunday morning to get myself settled and begin my planning for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday!! I had class all three days where I fine tuned my cutting skills and learn their coloring technique used at their very successful salons in NYC. I am now the only stylist in Rochester that has this education for curly hair!

Each day I went in at 8:30 and studied until 5 pm. I worked on manikins and models! It was amazing!!

Here's a picture of me with the co-founder of Devachan and Deva Concepts!!

Tracey...

Well, before one of my dearest friends left to be stationed in New Mexico, we was wonderful enough to model for one of my dream shoots...

She, being as beautiful as she is, made me stand there with my mouth wide open at her ease in front of the camera!

My sister and phenominal photographer, Hannah Betts, did another amazing shoot for my book I plan to publish next year... thank you so much guys!!

Inspiration for Amanda

Hey everyone, I am doing a shoot with Amanda, a fantastic model from Upstate New York, and Sarah Peterson a photographer from Rochester NY.


We have been thinking about going with a timeless vintage flair. There's going to be a lot of white, so Amanda is going to POP! 


We will probably be doing some dramatic styling with some timeless makeup that doesn't over do her face but allows for her beautiful features to be a focus.


Sarah is giving me the freedom to "work my magic" I love that!


Hope all is well, keep in touch!


<3 Enjoy


...use your imagination

I modeled... and I loved it

Hello everyone! It's been a while but I had to let you all know that I modeled for on of my dear friends the other day... Peter Webb (a world renowned hairstylist that resides and works here in Rochester, NY) photographed my sister and I.

As soon as we get the images of the shoot I will post one for you!

I had a finger wave through my faux hawk and this incredible gothic makeup on... LOVE IT!

Talk soon!

To say the least... I'm a little proud.... a lot proud actually...

Wow, what an incredible thing this is! My brother-in-law Michael Moncibaiz was just featured in the Insider for the week of January 14th!

Along side of a model, a comedian, a producer, a band and a business owner, Michael was named one of "6 to watch in 2011"

I know this doesn't seem to have much importance when it comes to my book... but it does! St. Monci will be my featured artist in my inspiration book I will be publishing next year!

Much love to Michael! <3
