The Untouchables Hair Design

////

Last month, I had the pleasure of shooting the lovely ladies at The Untouchables Hair Design. They are a modern, Las Vegas-based salon that specializes in Balayage, color correction, Hot Heads Extensions, and smoothing treatments. Last year, they were chosen by Elle Magazine as one of America’s Top 100 Salons. But perhaps even more impressive is the fact the salon is nearly 30 years old — a true achievement in an inconstant city like Las Vegas!

The founder and owner, Mary Gonzales, has created quite the team of on-trend, talented and accommodating stylists. We worked together last year, so I was really excited to shoot them again, especially with a completely different theme. This time we ventured out into the desert; first to the ghost town of Goodsprings, NV, then to the new Seven Magic Mountains art installation and finally to the dry lake bed near Primm/Stateline. So much fun…

The Changeling: Red Rock Canyon in Snow

////

After weeks of 70 degree weather, blooming trees, and in general what seemed to be Spring — out of nowhere it snowed here in Vegas! Snow in the desert is truly magical. I tried twice this week to drive the loop at Red Rock to take new photos, but both times it was closed. I managed to get some shots outside of the park and will share those another time. But I realize now that I was lucky to get these images from a few years ago…

See me change.

180360_RedRockLasVegasSnow_4I live uptown. I live downtown. I live all around.

180360_RedRockLasVegasSnow_6I’m the air you breathe.

180360_RedRockLasVegasSnow_3I had money.

180360_RedRockLasVegasSnow_8And I had none.

But I’ve never been so broke that I couldn’t leave town.

The friends you greet.
