Gollan, who is a frequent poster on the LongLocks Salon message boards, was kind enough to post pictures of his great "man bun" hairstyle wearing his Lazuli genuine lapis lazuli LongLocks ChapStix hair stick. When Gollan posted on our boards he said, "I'm very happy with my ChapStix and I'm glad I gave hair sticks a try!... Thanks for developing ChapStix, they are a great option for us slightly conservative long hairs." Thank you Gollan, for sharing your pictures and gorgeous hair with us! |

Larissa was kind enough to send us pictures of her beautiful healthy hair styled with her Purple Mist LongLocks DuetStix and her May Faire LongLocks SwingStix. When Larissa sent us her hair style photo she said, "I have never worn hair sticks before, and I have a lot of very fine hair. It slips out of ponytail bands, scrunchies, everything, it has even escaped bobby pins due to the weight of it and the slippery texture when I try to hold it in place. I read a lot about the sticks before I bought them, and I was really pleasantly surprised to see how well they hold. Before if I tried to hold that knot up, I would have to use a pony tail band and then wrap a scrunchy around it to hold the mass of it in place. Even after shaking my head that single May Faire stick didn't budge and my hair twist didn't come undone! As for the ponytail, I was able to use the Purple Mist DuetStix to weave the ponytail band in place so it wouldn't do the inevitable 'slide' down my hair that makes my morning ponytail look like a loose mess after only an hour or two. Since the band will finally stay in place, I was able to twist a small lock of hair around it to hide the band. I think that dressed up my ponytail quite a bit. It's a nicer look than a scrunchy if I have a meeting or want to wear a simple ponytail out for an evening. Thank you so much so having such a wonderful product." Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures and hair styling tips with us Larissa! |

Cynthia once again has honored us with a picture of her gorgeous hair, which she has fashioned into a pretty bun using her Butterflies, Cynthia's custom LongLocks DecoStix. When Cynthia sent us her photo she said, "Not that great [a picture] due to a focusing issue regarding the butterflies, but I had an extra picture on a roll of actual film and what better thing to take a picture of than my hair and hairsticks!" We agree Cynthia, and thanks for sending us another picture of your beautiful hair! |

When Sher sent us her photo she said, "Here is a picture of my lovely daughter Tierney wearing *my* Songham Star GeishaStix hairstick! I ordered this stick intending to wear it for my Black Belt ceremony, but my daughter was to be promoted at the same time, and she begged me to let her wear it. I couldn't refuse my baby! Doesn't she look beautiful? Thank you so much for making this beautiful piece that made a wonderful event that much more special." Yes Sher, Tierny certainly is beautiful! Thank you for sending us the photo and congratulations to you both on achieving your black belts! |

Michaela Grey was kind enough to send us pictures of her elaborate wedding aboard a boat, during which she wore a special order pair of LongLocks GeishaStix she named Lady Murasaki along with her Royal Sterling pair of LongLocks SterlingStix. When Michaela sent us her photos she said, "I thought I'd share some pictures of my wedding hair... it turned out beautifully, thanks to your gorgeous sticks. In addition to the two matched pairs of hair sticks, my style incorporates 4 bunches of braided yaki pony hair and three silk roses. Although I had also purchased a gorgeous matching choker from you, I ended up wearing an amethyst necklace my mother brought me to wear. I am sure I'll have many other opportunities to wear the choker you made for me. Thanks again for helping my hair to look so special last Saturday. I got more compliments than I could handle, and the amethyst turned out to match my gowns perfectly!" Thank you for sharing your pictures with us Michaela, your wedding looks like it was the most fun of all time! |

Thank you Jodie and tell your hubby we said HANDS OFF! |

Andi Apple Johnson, who was a beautiful bride, shows us her beautiful wedding hairstyle using her custom Anam Cara bridal LongLocks GeishaStix hair pin and her custom Cariad LongLocks BridalStix, while her sister shows off her lovely blonde locks and her Torrid LongLocks GlitterStix. When Andi wrote me she said, "I INSISTED someone get some shots of the back of my head and the back of my sister's head while we were getting ready, just in case we didn't get any other shots of the hairsticks, so these are what I'm calling the just-in-case shots. My sister is also wearing a pair of your sticks... they have big, beautiful Siam crystals and red sticks." Andi also sent us a shot of her wedding ceremony, saying she wanted us to see "...what your hairsticks created. I loved the hairsticks so much we ended up with what my mother-in-law called the 'crystal extravaganza.' Both bouquets and all the corsages and boutineers were made by her - they're all Swarovski crystals (in Siam, Turmaline, and AB crystals) and I made everyone some earrings, also in Swarovski crystals. I made sure everyone knew your work is what started it all." We are so happy to have contributed a little sparkle to your lovely wedding! Thank you for sharing your pictures with us Andi. |

Laura, who is a LongLocks HairSticks Boutique repeat customer many times over, shows off her Arvada LongLocks SatinStix and her Pansy Blue LongLocks PetalStix in her very beautiful hair. When Laura sent me her photos she said, "Wearing LongLocks HairSticks is like wearing stars in my hair, the crystals constantly changing with the angle of the light and the surrounding colors. They really are beautiful-- and surprisingly practical. With the "stitching" technique, most hair styles are quick to create and require little to no fussing to maintain. Such a welcome change of pace from the standard fare! Thanks, Susan!" Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photographs and your beautiful hair with us Laura! |

I recently received a Hairagami (with which I have no affiliation) and have been having fun playing around and creating different styles with it (if you have extremely long hair like I do, you may need someone to help you if you want to experiment with one of these fabulous hair accessories). This style is one I especially liked. I stuck my favorite ColorComb in the Harvest Queen design from my own collection in the top of the hair style to create a more formal updo. |

Karen Shelton of Hair Boutique fame gave me the idea for this photo! The hairsticks that are closest to my head with the clear AB crystals and black spiral sticks are the first pair I ever made. The crystals were my mother's and they remain my favorite pair to this day. My husband took this picture of me, this is one of the few that didn't include his toes ;) |
