Bellevue, Washington with a creative stylish mother, Loalynda was often exposed to the current music and fashion trends including hair and makeup. Loalynda’s mother went to the local hair salon weekly to get beautiful roller set and bouffant hair styles. Soon enough, Loalynda became interested and then immersed into the world of hair styling and utilizing that as her new creative outlet. She started doing these hairstyles for her mother and her mother's friends as a teenager. And within the blink of an eye Loalynda was managing a hair salon by the time she was twenty years old. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dd5afba23b7c93533bd5f70/t/5ec301dc583b1b004b08417d/1589838310575/Screen+Shot+2020-05-18+at+2.44.20+PM.png Herstory - Finding her passion By then, Loalynda had put in 2,000 hours of training in razor cutting, scissor cutting, pin curl sets, roller sets, finger wave sets, skin care and facial expertise, manicurist and pedicure training, barbering, hair coloring and the chemistry involved, permanent waving, and technical medical training on skin and nail disorders. Though luckily for her, by the last month of her training hair style and fashion trends were dramatically changing in much more creative edgy ways. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dd5afba23b7c93533bd5f70/t/5ec3025a990ffa43121f37ed/1589838434598/53673902_2179178698791751_4378847290031341568_n%2Bcopy%2B2.jpg Herstory - New dreams One on going theme in Loalynda’s story is that she never stops dreaming more grandiose dreams one after the next. One of her dreams being to move to Los Angeles to train under Joe Blasco, whom at the time was the president of the makeup artists union and had his own training center. In 1988, Loalynda moved and did just that. They day after she graduated from his training she became the head instructor at Joe Blasco’s school and got a parking spot with her name on it. From there, Loalynda’s Los Angeles Hair and Makeup Career began to flourish, and for that she cannot thank Joe Blasco enough. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dd5afba23b7c93533bd5f70/t/5ec3018b990ffa43121ef8eb/1589838232881/Screen+Shot+2020-05-18+at+2.43.23+PM.png Herstory - Newly inspired With no time wasted, Loalynda came back from the trip and immediately started working on opening up her own salon, and by the age of twenty-three she did just that. Farouche was open and the most trending hair salon in town. With rock music playing, and pictures of her teams work covering the walls. During this time Loalynda started to become involved in photoshoots. Then opened a newly inspired salon ‘classics’ while doing more fashion photography and styling within the Seattle area. During that time she became good friends with Seattle fashion photographers like Jim Hadley. It was no surprise that Loalynda became a name to look out for in Bellevue’s upcoming stars article. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dd5afba23b7c93533bd5f70/t/5e2869f3ff03df655d004879/1579706873176/101711_loalynda_collage_behind_the_scenes_copy.jpg Herstory - The birth of Loalynda Designs In 1996, Loalynda had her daughter and had decided to return to her drawing easel. But it was only a matter of time before Loalynda put just as much passion and dedicated into this art form as she did before with hair and makeup. Throughout the years of raising her daughter, she created over fifty-six illustrations and turned them into a prints and greeting card business. She had launched Loalynda Designs and had her work in one hundred and ten boutiques across the United States as well as one in London. Loalynda still has works available today! View her works here!

Not too soon after Loalynda found herself doing hair and make for stage productions in Sausalito. Back Dor Stage Productions became Loalynda’s new creative home. Owned by Dorrie Clark who had previously been a choreographer for TV and Stage Productions in New York. After three years of creating with hair and makeup again, a new wave of life began for Loalynda. Her youngest daughter had moved off to college in 2014 to attend art school in Seattle. That was when Loalynda had decided it was time for her to move back to her home state of Washington. Where she soon lived out her childhood dream of living on Guemes Island of the San Juan Islands. See below for Loalynda’s Bay Area creative journey. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dd5afba23b7c93533bd5f70/t/5e2a6186a14fd526ec8f7ee7/1579835795048/60086748_2291418614447035_6517379053660405760_o.jpg Herstory - The Annual Earth Day Luminary Parade When Loalynda started reflecting on her life’s journey, she found that parades were always something that warmed her heart. She had been attending and participating in the Guemes Island Fourth of July parade with her family since she was a small child. As she grew older she fell in love with the Rose Bowl Parade and the New York Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. One year her husband surprised her and flew her to New York to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in person! When all is said and done, Loalynda would like to bring the same sense of love, joy, creativity, and light to her community in all the ways she knows best how.

This is how PaperBirds Studio and the Annual Earth Day Luminary Parade on Guemes Island came to be. Today Loalynda is constantly creating luminaries in her studio.
