Searching for Hair Models....
Hello, it’s your friendly stylist from the Minnesota School
of Cosmetology! I wanted to let you know that I have found a home at the
Moxie Hair Salon in Midway. It’s located on the corner of Minnehaha and Snelling Avenue at 722 Snelling Avenue North, St Paul, MN 55104. If you’d like to see more
about Moxie, you can visit http://www.moxiesalon.com.
Starting in April, I will begin an apprenticeship which will
last about 26 weeks. During this time, I will be in need of models. If you are
interested in being a model for me, please let me know by calling 612-600-5477
or you can email me at nanncyy@yahoo.com.
Please let me know what kind of cut you currently are wearing (bob, layers,
etc.) and if your hair is straight, wavy, or curly. I will need hair style and
hair cut models and classes are always on Mondays, either at 10:30 am or 12:30
pm.
Models would receive a free shampoo
and blowout (style) and/or a free
haircut. I will need both women and men’s haircuts. If the timing does not
work out for you, please let me know if you may know someone who would benefit
from a free style or haircut.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from
you! Nancy Yang

Another year gone by... Papu (aka KAMI) is turning THREE YEARS OLD!I miss blogging on xanga. No time tho, no time. Taxes are weighing my mind and money is too.
Kami's 3rd birthday is on Sunday, January 27th. She was born just after 4pm on January 27th, 2005. What a crazy 3 years it has been with that little munchkin in our lives. From St. John's hospital to Children's Hospital NICU to home and all the merry way here, it's been the best several years of my life.
Kami talks a lot now, spells out words on the TV or my shirt. She keeps hanging on to her diaper tho, doesn't need it except for at night but is insistent. I'm going to stop cutting her hair, I promise! I saw some old pics of her with such long hair and it's growing out now from the cute cut I gave her.
I'm working in a salon now people, so come see me anytime! Just message me and I'll get an appointment for you. Highlights, lowlights, color, cuts, nails, pedicures, or waxing! |

Growing UpI remember the cold seeping up my legs, settling in my thighs. Toes burning cold, breath steaming the air. Staring down at my pink puff boots, pole lagging in my hand. It was dark out but slowly dawn was approaching, lights of the cars going by streaming across my face. Too cool for a hat or scarf, chill in my puffy jewel green jacket that was too big for me. A crowd of kids walk up and wait for me. I carefully check to the right, left and right again for incoming vehicles. I run into the middle of the street and hold my school patrol flag up as the kids shuffle pass and the cars squelch to a stop. Man, do I feel like a dork.
LOL Years later, I notice the children shyly holding up their school patrol signs up as I whiz on by to drop my kids off at the sitter, too much rush, too much slush.
I passed the 1350 state practical examination on Monday, December 10th, 2007 with a 100%. 180 points out of 180 points. Man, was I freaking out on that roller set that I had to do in 20 min! The look on Tassie's face (she was my model) was priceless. I passed the Promissor Cosmetology Generals with a 95% and Minnesota Cosmetology State Laws Exam with a 92% on Tuesday, December 11th, 2007. Damn, I am glad it's over with! I have 8 days of school left and I'm so excited to be done soon!!!!
I received an employment offer from Moxie Salon, http://www.moxiesalon.com to start February 1, 2008. They have an Uptown and a Midway location. I'm SO psyched. They had a very stringent hiring procedure as they are very selective.
1. Informational Interview (2 hrs)
2. Letter of Intent
3. One on One Interview with Owner (1 hr)
4. Hang-Out (4 hrs in salon)
5. Technical Interview (3 hr 30 min) Full cut and color with foils
6. Shampoo the Artistic Director (15 min)
From step 1, there were 8 people interested. By the time I was at step 5, they had narrowed it down to 4 people. My girl, Marina Moua also received an offer. We were at the technical interview together.
I still love doing nails, Mary Henry's nails were gold glitter on her tips faded up into EZ Flow's Boogie Nights Funky Town glitter on her nail bed. Zia Lee had a radical french tip done in Absolute Chromatone's I'm Not Really A Waitress and Funky Town on her nail bed. They were freaking BEAUTIFUL!
Christmas will be full of games and food this year. No real presents because it has gotten too overrated and commercialized. I have a ton of product and will probably give that away!
Lee came in for a cut and a style, a new look.
I don't remember how long it's been since I put up a blog.
Me with my son Tsaaj who turned 1 in June 2007.
Me with Tassie and Erin at Lia's birthday party at my house.
Kami, naked as usual except for her diaper and me in scrubs, cooking first. And she is having one of MY favorite meals growing up. Oscar Mayer Cheesiest Cheese Dogs with white rice. Yummers!
Chy's art of photography. He likes candid pictures better.
Words of advice: Slow your roll down and stop to smell the roses. I'm guilty as charged.

Ahh, the joys of motherhood.
Kami says:
"No, Mommy, I GOOD girl!" when I say, "Papu, you bad girl!"
"Can I look at your pretty ring, Mommy?"
I say, "What movie do you want to watch, Kami?" And she says either "Barbie, princess/Incre-duh-bow/Elmo, Abby Cadabby!"
She knows a lot of lines from the movies now by heart and SOMEONE
taught her to say, "Oh shit, man!" No one in our household! She knows
her 123's up to 10 and can say the teens randomly. She also says her
ABC's til G in order and then sings the rest randomly, including "Now I
know ...ABCs, nest time...sing ...me!"
Christian says:
"Bb-eye, bb-eye."
"Mu-muh."
and recently, "Hiiigh. Hiiigh." Oh, also when Chy counts like the Count
in Sesame Street: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. THOONNG (thunder).
AAH, AAH, AHH, AHH, AAH, AAH." Tsaaj says the last part. LOL.
Long time, so behind on blogging. I had hoped that one day when I'm
older I'll print all my blogs up for my kids to read. Wish my mom had
it more together to help us kids recall our childhood. I remember lots
of electrical cords, belts, brooms, and shoes. Locked in a dark porch
with no hope in sight. Sometimes when the kids are on my last nerve, I
stop and hug them close because no child deserves neglect.
My FIL wants to buy a big Tacoma Toyota. For what, I don't know, maybe
to impress the ladies. Chy is trying to talk him into a Camry. Keeping
up with the Hers for reals.
Heartland Beauty Expo is done for 2007! Henceforth to be referred to as
HBE. The SWAT team wants to finagle a spot on main stage closer to the
mid afternoon next year. We gotta plan to show off our talent!! I won
the "Over the Top" Nail Art competition this year for students. I was
nervous and totally psyched!!!
They were about to announce the winners. I was feeling extremely
dorky standing in front of all of those people, trying to laugh off the
nervousness with Erin.
This was the winning tableau. A mermaid and her treasure trove of
jewels. The blue rocks are symbolic of water and she is arriving at her
private island. This is a full set of acrylic nails. Her right hand in
the sand has a two color fade, gold into sand (EZ Flow's Boogie Nights
Edition) and at the top of the nail, is clear acrylic with real sand
from the scene pressed into it along with actual sea shell and nail
jewels. Her left hand in the water has a four color fade, starting with
a deep sparkly purple to a brighter purple to a dark glittery blue to a
lighter blue sculpted into actual ocean waves with sand and sea shells
pressed into clear acrylic on top.
My model, who was wearing a fish tail costume with a corset and
artificial sea weed attached in her hair. Thanks to Erin for letting me
explore my imagination!
A close up of the nails by themselves. Her thumb has a 3D starfish on
it! These nails are obviously too long for normal wear, competition
only. When I was making the mermaid that is attached to her nails, Chy
kept asking me, I just don't understand! Who would want a mermaid on
their fingers?!
The mermaid was made out of acrylic and the structure was made of wire. I spent 6 hours on her body and 4 hours on her hair. Erin's nails took 6 hours as well. All this work went towards my missing hours at school so YAY! hopefully I'll be done with school on time!
The SWAT team had a main stage performance and the theme again was 80s
goes PUNK. My sister Erin was my model and damn, was she smokin'!!!
This absolute stranger ran up to us while we were walking to the nail
competition and said to Erin, "OMG, you are FUCKING HOTT!" LOL, yes she
used the F word. We were quite taken back by her enthusiam! LOL, the
whole weekend was SO FUN if at times harrowing and full of me sweatin'
bullets dressed in black.
Right before the runway show.
Erin and her Captain Morgan pose! LOL.
Emily turned 2 years old on October 14th and it was Elizabeth's 100th Day. (Korean culture??) This is us at their party. Life is an amazing gift. We took Noob for his shots and he was such a tough cookie! I love my kids.
Chy came up to me this morning and told me that last night he was watching movie with Kami. He farted in the general manner that guys do. Kami immediately jumped up and said, "You FARTED! You stink!!" and ran across to the other side of the room. She started waving her hand in front of her face dramatically and said, "You fart tomorrow, OK? You STINK!!"
I crowed with laughter. The absolute joys of motherhood. Learning is what kids do best.

The best shot in the world. My hubs will always be my little boy in my heart.
 
The apple orchard in September on Labor Day weekend. We stayed in the actual grove for only 15 min cuz it was so dang hot!!! That little white white Her boy of mine turned super duper pink! Both were EXHAUSTED by the time we were done!
She's so naughty and such a big girl now. I see the other girls pages full of babies and I want to have more but don't want to deal with more diapers so maybe in a couple years. Otherwise, maybe I'll just put all my love and faith and strength into raising these two munchkins of mine!
 
Back at Shoua's house after the orchard. Everyone walked in the find this little boy doing his deed. LOL, that's Pai's son, Triston. Look at how Christian's feet disappear in the second photo! LOL.
Hair I did for a Chinese girl getting married to her American man:
  
The bridesmaid below: She had a ton of freaking hair. I do makeup too. I have a class with top makeup artist, Christian McNally on Oct 29th in Mpls.
  
I love Kenra!
Show's coming up, I'm so excited! I am working on my model's hair all day Friday and then also Saturday. The show is Sunday, so is the nail competition and charity event for cancer that I'll be working at. Friday night, the kids are coming over!
