Donna Pederson’s Biography:

I grew up, the youngest of eleven children, in Massachusetts. I loved going with my mother to her weekly salon visits. I was fascinated watching the stylists manipulate hair into works of art. It made sense to me. I knew that’s what I wanted to do.

I went to the local Vocational, Technical High School, (much to my father’s chagrin) to pursue Cosmetology. I was fortunate to have talented instructors who taught me the importance of perfecting my basics, and practice, practice, PRACTICE.

After apprenticing and working as a stylist in Boston for 8 years, I made the move to Florida. As a Master Colorist, I live and work in an area that lets me practice my craft to my fullest extent.

I love what I do. I feel privileged and honored to be a part of our industry.

Bliss Book Donor For The Real Hair Truth Documentary

~ Joseph Kellner

  

 

I am Julie Hill. I dream, I create, and I live to be inspired.

The project began long ago as a dream – a dream of bringing visions alive for women, brides, and stylists. And through our own inspiration, we were able to make this dream a reality.

After many 10 to 12 hour days, long photo shoots, and lots of learning, Bliss was born.

During the creation of this book, we utilized our own database of models – these are real women, each with her own unique “look.” As a result, we have a beautiful range of women covering our pages. This, in turn, was our goal. When women look through our book, we want them to visualize themselves on the pages and see themselves in the hairstyles. And we think we’ve accomplished that.

We are locally produced in Ann Arbor, MI. As a small company, we strive to provide a great product and will continue to do so.

Bliss is an inspirational guide for brides, stylists, and women of all ages. If you’re looking for a style for your formal event or your wedding, this is your source. If you’re a stylist, this is the perfect “look book” for inspiration as well as a guide for your clients. Each page is simple; the styles are thoughtful, up-to-date, and focus only on the hair and make-up. Each style is classic and offers a wide range of looks for your next event. 

Bliss is printed as a soft cover book and with over 150 pages and 80 hairstyles to choose from. Bliss is the new age of “look books,” and we proudly present it to you.

Dream until your dreams come true! I dream every day.

Follow your Bliss!
