Tuesday Teal was a beauty school student : Houston IMAGE Expo

This year the first year I have ever been to IMAGE. The show is in Houston Texas and held in the convention center. The show is semi new, meaning that there has not yet been a show of this style in this location. The venue is big, but not as big as PREMIERE orlando. Premiere is one of the largest shows of the year. The Houston airport is surprisingly very cool. the layout is nice and the people were respectful.
Because i have never been to Houston before i convinced Brice (Assistant at TEAL salon) who lived in Houston for a long time to show the Team and I the Town. This particular weekend the team consisted of Myself (TUESDAYYYY!), Jamie, Brice, Mom and Dad (Deannalyn and Ryan), as well as a few friends from Lanza. Brice took us shopping in Montrose. There were tons of cool vintage clothing stores and fantastic food. Brice was a great tour guide showing us where his first apartment and favorite bars were. Mexican food was the hight of the night. We all had a great time just bonding as a team.
The hair industry is very much a community. I think that hair shows for a lot of people are like family reunions! I love hair and so does everyone else there. The best part is that there are hours of education just waiting at your finger tips. This time my mom and dad were on the main stage three times, as well at Two different classes.
We had a model call at the convention center were we got some really great models to commit to the weekend. Model calls are actually a bit stressful because you have to be sure they will show up as well as make sure they are willing to change their hair. It is so much worse when you are doing mostly hair cuts because it is hard to talk models into cutting their hair. Sometimes at hair shows if the model call does not go well you have to go to places like the mall or shopping center to try and find some people to use. This time we got lucky though an all the girls were great.
The shows went really smooth and judging by our large crowd turnout the people liked us! We all had so much fun prepping hair and getting in wardrobe that when it had to come to an end on Monday night we were all bummed it was over. Overall to me Houston was full of crazy adventures, Painting wigs, mexican food, and sweet models.

Go to this next year theres a ton to learn!
