I have a neighbor that is graduating from Cosmetology, I would like to make her something that she could and would use for her career, anyone have any ideas? scissors case I was thinking, but there's more to the business. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Or I could make something entirely different than something for her career. my thoughts are running crazy....sorry! But heres the thing she is Spanish, she had been in this country for I think 5 years, and I thought making her something special would be a good thing... |
Maybe a purse or tote featuring tools of the trade.
|
A pretty purse with some type of beauty motif?
|
I think a tote featuring the tools of her trade is a great idea.
|
hmmm, sounds good! a tote, and I think theres a tutoral for one on here, thanks! I will check the purse as well.
|
expand the scissors case idea and make a roll to hold all her tools. If you're not sure what they are, check out a beauty supply shop to see what they sell for ideas. pockets for brushes, scissors, etc. Maybe use one of the new vinyl fabrics to make a cover for haircutting...or use the iron-on vinyl to make a custom one. how about insulbrite to make a pocket for curling iron/brush...oh the ideas!!!!!! customize a purse insert (the kind used to transfer items from purse to purse)to make a portable carrier for her items plus a tote to carry her tools in and for storage.
|
Most of the ladies wear aprons to cover their clothes.
|
An apron with pockets might be good. I use batting and make them reversible. I also spray them with the waterproofing product used for tents that I buy in the camping equipment area. I'm sure you will get a lot of good ideas from all the creative people on the board. Good luck!
|
thanks ladies! Great ideas! Yeah I will have to go to Sallie's(beauty shop) to check the wares out...
|
if she works in just one location, a wall sign with her name
|
When my DIL graduated from Cosmo School i made her a cute wall hanging with salon theme. She loved it and hung it in her little in home studio.

As a stylist, make her an apron, but be sure to put zippers in the bottom of the pockets to help remove the hair that falls in there, also, we always need a pad to place our hot tools on so they don't burn out tabletops
|
hey! great idea! a hot pad, make like one of those pot holders with that safety stuff in it! I'll try that one too!
thanks a bunch! |
