I wanted to post something here that I thought would be relevent to all of the female swing dancers. I recently had my hair and make-up professionally done for a friend’s wedding renewal ceremony. The person I went to was highly recommended by multiple people in the Orlando area. As I was talking to her while she was doing my hair and make-up, I got on the topic of doing retro 40’s hairdo’s and how hard and complicated they can be. Well, she told me how she is trained to do styles going all the way back to the 1800’s Victorian era and everything in between. So I asked her if she does private sessions where she teaches hair and make-up one-on-one and she does!

A few options went through my head like getting a group of interested people together to have a session with this lady. But then I realized that what works style wise for some people will not work for others and probably doing one on one private sessions with her would be a better use of your money spent (no dollar amounts for one on one sessions were discussed).

I’m including her website and contact info in this blog so if anyone would like to tap this wealth of hair and make-up information, you can do so. Her name is Candi Ekstrom and her email is ExpressWeddings@aol.com. Her website is www.expressweddingsflorida.com. Do not be thrown by the website in that it is very focused on weddings, that is her local specialty. Feel free to contact her about having her work with you to get that right mix of cool retro hairstyle and sizzling vintage make-up customized for your skin tone and hair
