My 1st Alopecia Awareness Cruise was a tremendous success! We set sail September 10-15, 2012, to the Western Caribbean. After fifteen months of marketing and advertising this highly anticipated cruise, it was off the chain!!! All of my guests truly enjoyed themselves. We departed from Galveston, TX, and docked at Yucatan Progresso and Cozymel.

After departure, I surprised everyone with tote bags full of goodies…and stepped out of the box to write and sing a cruise theme song. “Cruise with a purpose” was an instant suc-cess! I was so excited that everyone loved it! It was suggested that I go into a recording studio and record it to music and have it copyrighted. So that is what I am doing before it is released. How exciting…my own cruise theme song! You will hear it soon!!!

Since we were combining alopecia awareness and vacation, we only had a schedule for Awards Night and the two Educational Trichology Seminars by Dr. Amerson. We had so

One of the most commonly neglect-ed areas of the face when it comes to beauty are the eyebrows. Countless women have no desire to have their eyebrows waxed off, threaded away or tweezed to perfection.It is important to know that the eyebrows are the frame of the face. They are just as significant as the eye make-up painted beneath. Would you purchase a rare Rembrandt portrait enclosed in a tattered frame? I didn't think so. So why would one apply gorgeous eye color surrounded by unruly brow hair? It's still an an-cient mystery.Many women are quite apprehensive about having their brows sculpted due to fear that too much hair will be removed. Especially, if untrained hands have touched them in times past. Additionally, due to a com-mon misunderstanding they choose not to have their brows cleaned. A widespread misperception is that the brow is too thin. If there is hair on your face, we can always take it from good to great! Often, ladies state they will not get their brows done due to the fear of experiencing ghastly and unbearable pain. Rest assured, it will be over before you know it. As the old adage goes no pain, no gain. You are well worth every ooh and ouch! Lastly, many women have schedules that are overcrowded and aren't interested in adding one more task to their to do list. Generally, you will only need to schedule brow mainte-nance every 3-4 weeks based on the rate in which your hair grows.It is essential to allow only a licensed professional create a custom brow design for you. One who will keep your face and natural brow in mind. Additionally, you should understand

eyebrow dimensions if you plan to do any home maintenance. To avoid over tweezing know where your brow should begin and end. The starting point is from the base of your nose to the inner corner of your eye nearest the bridge of the nose. Your arch (highest point) should fall directly in line with the outer edge of the iris and the tail of the brow is measured from the base of the nose to the furthest corner of the eye clos-est to the temple.If you are ready to take your beauty to the next level of excellence always remember it's the little things that make a big difference. If you don't think the brow really matters, ask yourself the question, what is a beau-tifully wrapped gift without a ribbon and bow? Exactly. Now go get those brows done at once!

Darico Jackson stepped out with Keyisha Cole at a who’s who list of Hollywood’s biggest and brightest black starlets for the 2012 “Black Girls Rock” event. Darico took Keyisha from last year’s “no care hair” to a softer style for the event. Keyisha is one of those Afri-can-American stars who are capable of wowing their audi-ence and fans beside everyone else by the way they look. One of the major parts of her eye-catching looks is her hair and no one does Hollywood’s hair better than DaRico Jack-son. “Keyisha hair is always evolving. “ She tries various haircuts, sometimes it’s long or medium while other times it’s totally short says DaRico. DaRico’s work has long been admired by his peers and celebrity clientele alike as well as top fashion photographers such as Shaun Alexander. He is well known for being able to visualize how someone could look with the right transform-ing style, and then he makes it a reality for them.

He recently created these drop dead looks for Stacey Dash that were inspired by international catwalk trends and retro trends after Dash came under fire for her support of Mitt Romney.” We all have our own per-sonal causes in our lives outside our careers that mean so much to us. I love being around people so working in an environment that is both social and creative is perfect for me, says Darico.” None of us know when we may need a helping hand, so I also enjoy working with charities throughout the year. In addition to the “Black Girls Rock” celebration for the organization, founded by DJ Beverly Bond which aims to empower and mentor young women of color, while also promoting a positive portrayal of black women in the media. He also worked on “An After-noon of Elegance” celebrity charity fashion event for” A Love Beyond Me,” which is a charity devoted to uplift, encourage and inspire young children battling life threatening illnesses. DaRico and his Glam Team created the big hair for the afternoon show that was in-spired by the 60’s and 70’s. His glam team boasts of LA’s top glamologists that included makeup artists Rhonda Bean, Ashley Gomilla, Valerie Page and hairstylists Jas-mine Brod, Feana Smith, Andrea Pezillon and Michelle McFadden. In his role as a creative instructor for the Mizani Hair care company, DaRico is involved in developing the company's signature hairdressing techniques and trav-els the world presenting his expertise to international hairdressing audiences.

Stacy Powell: HairstylistInstructorTrendsetter

Interview By:Candise Lofton

Page 33: 2012 November Issue - Midwest Black Hair Magazine

33 www.MidwestBlackHair.com

Who is Stacy Powell?Stacy is a multitude of things. She is a complex woman a born regulator and most times mis-un-derstood. Her bold no non-sense attitude is also accompanied by a sharp tongue and quick witted infectious personality. To the surprise of many un-derneath her sassiness is a very warm and generous character that is very pleasant and charismatic. She is the girl next door, a Diva, a leader, Americas Next Top Model, a daughter, sister, aunt, friend, fighter, lover, Instructor, Activist, advocate, writer, Trend-setter, role model, helpmate, a treasure, a joy……

What inspired you to become an instructor?Becoming an instructor was like second nature for me. It was only what made sense. It was clear to me very early on that I had an effect on people. For some reason I talk and people listen. I am and al-ways have been in Love with Cosmetology, and I’ve never been a stranger to helping, so here I am.

What are your interests outside the world of cosme-tology?What world outside of Cosmetology??? LOL. Is there a world outside of Cosmetology? It’s in every-thing an I take it with me everywhere I go in some shape or form. But to answer your question. Im really a girls girl. So I’m no stranger to the kitchen. I’m a bad girl in the kitchen too. I like to dance (Im a Stepper) and love music, Im a real dusties smooth groove type a girl.If I have music a bad situation can become enjoyable. I enjoy spending time with family and I don’t know why because all we do is ar-gue. LOL and I usually start most of the arguments. I Cant help it I love em and if only they did what I said then every little thing would be alright (In my Bob Marley singing voice)

What challenges have you faced in adding propri-etary and instructor to your resume?The biggest challenges of my career have been maintaining balance. The demands of life don’t get easier as you move up they get much more intense

and balance was always my struggle. If I’m in then it 125% or nothing. I had to learn to balance my professional and personal life.

What made you become a stylist? I don’t think that one becomes a stylist I think a being a stylist becomes one. Its be-coming on some like the good fit of a hand in a glove. In my case I think I was a stylist long before I really understand the mean-ing of the word.

Do you feel being a stylist is a natural tal-ent or an acquired skill?Both. It is a natural talent and an acquired skill. What we have to understand about though is the skill is not so easily acquired without talent but most importantly talent. Most can learn to do anything with enough instruction and practice, nobody regardless to how great the instructor or intention can be taught to have passion or talent.

34 MIDWEST BLACK HAIR MAGAZINE - November 2012

Page 35: 2012 November Issue - Midwest Black Hair Magazine

35 www.MidwestBlackHair.com

What inspires you?Believe it or not I’m inspired by everything. Sometimes, a lot of times music is one of the biggest sources of inspiration for me, other times it color, scenery but most of all the God.

What suggestions do you have for inspiring stylist?Inspiring stylist should focus not only on style & trend but busi-ness. Stylists are big givers. We share our creative talents, our opinions and the like and have such a great deal of passion for what we do that we sometimes forget it’s a business.

What advice do you have for new stylist?With that the best advice I could give a new stylist is to have good business practices. Be fair and understanding when necessary ¸but be business minded at all times.

How would you suggest han-dling a situation when a style goes wrong?When a style goes wrong its usually because the stylist has lost sight of the goal or is us-ing the wrong method in hopes of achieving that goal. In these cases the stylist will need to stop the process. Think back to the fundamentals of Cosmetol-ogy and hair styling, regroup and return to basic methods for correction. If you panic it will get worse, remain calm and can think clearly.

Do you have other goals outside the world of cos-metology?Outside of Cosmetology I have my personal goals. Marriage, children a white house with a 2 car garage, picket fence and a happy ending. Lol. No really family is very important to me and is one of my biggest unaccomplished goals, but I do have some other business ventures that I would like to fulfill. I have always wanted a ice cream shop. You know like the old ones where you would sit on a bar stool and order a float or milkshake.

Don't want to be tied down by the obligations of high maintanenced hair color but looking for a new look? Try getting you hair ombréd. What's ombré? I'm glad you asked. Ombré is the technical term for the process of color in which only 3-5 inches of the tips of your hair is dyed. Its fun, fresh and low maintanenced.

French Tips

the hair versionBy: Nikki Binion

With this method you don't have to worry about getting root touch ups. You can ei-ther allow this process to grow out or just freshen up the ends from time to time. What I think would be fun is depending on how high you lighten your tips (blond wise) you can change the colors from gold to pink from green to blue. Have fun with your hues and don't be afraid to make a statement.

Remember you are not nessecarily mar-ried to this fun frenchy. Take this time to have the best of both worlds all at once!

Another hair color tip:lack commitment but love change, stay away from black hair color. The darker you go the harder it is to go over with another color or remove. Color does not remove color so you will either be growing out or cutting off.

Stay glamorous!

Nikki B.

By Ken FoxIt’s an epidemic that’s rarely talked about,

but its effects are devastating. If you’re one of the 30 million women suffering from the heartbreak of hair loss or thinning hair, every day is a nightmare.

You look in the mirror and see your scalp.You feel the stares of friends and you know what they’re thinking. You feel older and less attractive. Your self-esteem disappears.

The pain, embarrassment and humiliation are almost too much to bear.

A GROWING PROBLEMUp until now, hair loss was a topic reserved

only for men. It seems that it’s okay for men to lose their hair. For women, however, it’s a different story.

BREAKTHROUGH TREATMENT FOR WOMEN ONLY

After years of research, the International Hair Institute has developed a revolutionary therapy that promises to change your life forever.

Keranique is a unique rejuvenating hair treatment system that’s specially formulated for women only. And there’s nothing else like it.

SPECIALLY FORMULATED TO STOP HAIR LOSS & RE-GROW HAIR

full volume you’ve always wanted. You’ll see and feel the difference. And so will others.

About The Memorials

The Memorials were spearheaded by Bay Area drumming prodigy, Thomas Pridgen, in December of 2009. After a few years performing with The Mars Volta, Thomas turned his attention to forming his own group, incorporating a range of styles as diverse as the experiences of the bands members. Instead of becoming another rock bands’ heartbeat, the focus was to collaborate with proficient musicians whom Thomas felt would fill a void he has heard in rock music throughout his life. Thomas reached out to friends and former students of the esteemed Berklee College of Music, Viveca Hawkins (vocals), and Nick Brewer (guitars), to join him in his newest endeavor. Recording with his friend’s yielded a family vibe that enabled a comfortable yet intense recording process. The groups’ assets were rounded out with the addition of a bass, organ, synthesizers, and multiple percussive elements. Thomas describes The Memorials’ first record as:“For me it was important to put a band together with my friends, and ya know, the record is a rollercoaster. Some songs are hard, but will make you cry by the end....” The aura of the recording sessions, and Thomas’ vision for the group, are reflected in the views of the bands members. Viveca Hawkins glows when speaking of the project:

“We have totally made this project out of love…This album is made of the best of us, we put our hearts and souls into this.”The passion and intensity of the recording sessions is audible on The Memorials debut effort, as they combine a vast array of sounds atop Thomas and Nick’s compositions. Nick’s sprawling guitars and Thomas’ thick drums serve as the core of the sound, while Viveca’s voice brings it together perfectly. The end music is intelligent and calculated, exhibiting certain pop sensibilities within the scope of songs that rock out. The compositions highlight each musician’s incredible talent, while creating textured tracks that feel like vignettes of a band finding their stride.
