I love building trade partnerships. Last October I was very fortunate to meet Geraldine Carter, owner of Tres Jolie, while I was working back stage at FashioNXT. Geraldine’s company is the official US distributor of Balmain hair extensions and products. If you are not familiar with Balmain hair, you’ve probably seen it a million times and didn’t even know it. It is a VERY natural looking product worn by celebrities, including Rihanna.
Shortly after FashioNXT, Geraldine, her husband Tom and I sat down to figure out how we could build a long term relationship. I liked the direction the Carter’s were taking their company and I think their product is one of the best on the market. One of the partnership ideas we came up with was a product photography shoot featuring real clients at real salons after an application of Balmain hair.
Our first official product shoot was for The National Beauty–an ultra hip salon in Downtown Portland. Co-owner Heidi Cuthbert did the styling and her team did the make-up. Our model was gorgeous, but the real star here is the Balmain hair. Wow! Here are some of the great images from that shoot.
