On the Road: Nashville

My good friend Stephanie Berzinski, a reporter for WXII12 News in Winston-Salem, was nominated for an Emmy and wanted to look like a celebrity for the awards ceremony. The ceremony was being held in Nashville and since my husband and had never been this was the perfect opportunity for a road trip!
 
Although the trip to Tennessee started out a little icy with freezing rain, snow and slick roads....we had the BEST time. Nashville is a great city; and to experience it with such great friends, made it even better. We had a blast exploring the Music City! 
 
 
Saturday night was the The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' awards ceremony, and Stephanie looked like a million dollars. I contoured her face and used airbush makeup as her foundation. She wanted a sleek look for her hair so went with a pouf and a chignon, very classic. I even added a rhinestone bracelet as a hair piece to finish it off.
 
I hope to go on many more adventures with Stephanie as she furthers her career in the news business!

Welcome

Welcome to A Pouf & A Pony

My name is Erin Blakley, owner and stylist for Hair & Makeup Design. I work in a wonderful salon, SilkRoad Salon & Spa, in the lovely downtown Winston-Salem.

I have been a licensed stylist for 8 years now and am still amazed with the work that I get to be a part of. I love being able to create wonderful works of art on wonderful people. I enjoy working on weddings, commercial shoots, photo shoots, stage and film sets and volunteering my services to local community projects, when I am not in the salon.

 
I wanted to share with you all the tips, secrets and awesomeness that is being a hair and makeup artist. I will give tutorials, share my work with you and keep you updated on the exciting jobs that I get to work on!
