Amazing Beaded Hair Jewelry Inspirations and Tutorial

When we think of beaded hair jewelry, we think of beads in barrettes, bands and elastics. Or maybe as stranded extensions.  But beads with hair as the stringing medium?  Now that would be difficult, or is it?


I hesitate to call Roberto Perozzi of  HairTune a hairstylist.  He is more than that - he is an amazing  hair artist.  Shown here are some of his award winning designs.


He is now based in Japan when he is not traveling for international conferences and seminars.  "Involved in every aspect of the business, from the salon floor to in house teaching, from working on international shows to photographic collection shoots, Roberto has incredible know-how. Even with a very busy schedule, he finds time to assist in fashion shows."


This innovative hair designer is also dedicated to teaching and sharing hairdressing technical skills as well as coming up with new ideas. 


He shared his very simple technique of how to thread seed beads onto hair strands on this video - a must see! Please click on the link as I cannot embed it here. 


His tutorial using a wig is unbelievably easy.  If you cannot fathom his moves, hang on to the 11:16 minute mark when he switches to a brunette wig and demonstrates his technique again. It's very clear then how he transfers the beads to the hair strand.


Roberto tells me he has more beaded hair videos in the pipeline so stay tuned!  Also check his Youtube channel for some great hair cutting and styling how tos.

WINNERS of the Modahaus TS320 Photostudio Giveaway and Special Discounts

Wow! The response for last week's giveaway of a Modahaus TS320 tabletop studio was overwhelming! I am not surprised because jewelry photography is by far the toughest non-jewelry making skill to get grips with!  All of you know the value of great looking images.


Lex was bowled over with all the comments and responses - many of you shared heartfelt frustrations with jewelry photography.  He was sorry there was to be only 1 winner  so much so Modahaus has kindly offered a second TS320 to give away.  Altogether now - WHEEE!!

For those who didn't win, Modahaus is offering these discounts, so get some friends together, order and save.  Please contact Modahaus to make arrangements - hello@modahaus.com
  • 20% discount and free Express Delivery for orders of 5 or more of any product (excluding SS200 and SS100 CC already on sale). Express Delivery would be to one address.
  • standard custom bundle discount of 15% for 2 or more products
I numbered all the eligible entries and used the random number generator over on random.org to select 2 winning numbers.  These numbers were assigned to Regina Partain and Laura Gasparinni.  Congratulations!

We all had great fun with my recent presentation on How to Photograph Jewelry at the Grand River Bead Society meeting.  But I do know most of you couldn't attend.  So please explore my past posts on jewelry photography as well as Lex's guest tutorials - the tips and information are largely all there.  They are listed in my Jewelry Business Tips page.

Lex just wrote about how to photograph pearls and diamonds/crystals together.  The combination is challenging because one is opalescent and the other sparkling.  So hop on over to the Modahaus blog and find out what his tips are.
