I transformed a newbie today!!

[tamarav]

I was at work in my beauty salon today (a quiet Tuesday) practicing permanent makeup on practice skin. When I stopped for a second the owner popped her head into my door and asked me to come meet someone up front. I pranced out in my 5.5 inch mules, swinging what little butt I have and walked out to meet a cute 30 something woman. She looked like a normal person, but what does a normal person actually look like?

I was introduced to her and she just stood there. She slowly started talking and this is about what she said, "I want to tranaform my boyfriend into a beautiful woman and I was looking for someone to do it". Visions of fairies dancing in my head and instant love for this woman clouded my vision a bit but then we sat and talked. I explained that I was aware of some men crossdressing but had't really run into many. Still not grasping my situation she said that since it appeared that I did a pretty good job of my makeup and the fact that salon sells wigs would make this a good place to try. I laughed and damn near choked. I fnally slowly explained to her who and what I was, "a crossdressing cosmetologist" and she screamed and jumped up and hugged me. At first I was a bit alarmed she was going to stab me but oh no, she loved it.

She asked about our services and said she would be right back with her boyfriend. Right I'm thinking, just a woman looking for a laugh. Nope, in she came trailing a guy about 30, thin, good slight features and very little hair.

At first the girlfriend was thinking about permanent makeup. a full face, but fortunately she came to her senses. I explained that we could do conventionak makeup and see what looked best before doing anything permanent.


The girlfriend opened a bag of clothes she had for Wally, the transformee's name. We immediately changed Wally's name to Sindi, seemd to fit. We sent him to a private room and his girlfriend dressed him in a nice long tight skirt and a soft blouse. She stuffed his bra with socks and had him put on some 3 inch heels and brought him out. Throughout the day with Sindi, she just nodded and seemed almost drugged. I personally believe it was a dream come true and she didn't want to spoil it.

Anyway three of us worked on her for four hours, acrylic nails (very long and deep red), a stunning blonde updo from my in-shop wig collection, brow waxing, ears pierced (three in each ear) and full makeup. Tori applied eyelash extensions and we pampered Sindi with everything we could including perfume.

Sindi stood and we took about 30 pictures both with and without her girlfriend. When I told her to smile I thought I started a never-ending trend. She couldn't stop smiling after that. She just stood looking in a full length mirror, saying "I look like a girl" over and over. Her girlfriend (Becky) told her that she was going to be her girl and that she would simply love being a girl. (Where was this woman years ago??)

Becky paid us and threw in a more than generous tip and made an appointment for her own pernanent makeup next week, telling Sindi that once she (Becky) had hers done Sindi was next!! ( I have done perm makeup on many men but never feminizing them, just fixing crooked mouths or adding missing eyebrows).

My co-workers just looked at me after the couple left and screamed. Guess it said it all.

[tracigirl_tv]

That's a marvelous story, Tamara. Blessings on that special woman, and on Sindi....and on you too :)

I am mapquesting northern Washington state right now......

[jazmine]

That is so completely AWESOME!..........It seems like the world is very slowly warming up to us all.

[Stephacuse]

damn where is this kind of woman in many of our lives

[Kierci]

c'mon now you didnt talk the girlfriend into letting you post a couple of pics here of the after pics? :sad:

[Lori SC]

Wow Tamara,

That is a great story. What a lucky CD to have a wife like that! I wonder if she knows that? Hmmm, maybe you have found a new specialty?

Hugz, Lori

[deja true]

O....MG!!! When you next see that woman, ask her if she has a sister. I'm ready to quit this confirmed bachelor thing.

[Susan.]

Wow Tamara,

That is a great story. What a lucky CD to have a wife like that! I wonder if she knows that? Hmmm, maybe you have found a new specialty?

Hugz, Lori

She was a girlfriend, not a wife.

The story sounded like one of those fiction stories we read and dream about.

Will there be pics or would that be unprofessional?

[shenangovalleygal]

tami you go girl but ?dondes el carne? (wheres the beef?) in this case the pictures. can you get shots of sindi and his mrs with their permanent makeup sent here?

[cyle_elise]

boo to the last two. that's pretty damn unprofessional, shame on you for suggesting that.

To the OP, maybe you might talk your client into sharing her story with us, proper, though :)

[Angie G]

You have such a cool job Tami :hugs:

[Genifer Teal]

I explained that I was aware of some men crossdressing but had't really run into many. Still not grasping my situation she said that since it appeared that I did a pretty good job

ROFLMAO I don't usually burst out loud with laughter, but this just got to me. Great story. Glad you had fun. Please let us know if they go through with (his) permanent makeup.

[Mary Morgan]

You simply must ask them to stop by so that we might hava peak.

[MJ]

Just goes to prove there are gg out there who would love to have a cding bf .. i bet "he had a great day ...and night" .. i feel sorry for him ..

[Ashley in Virginia]

sure

[tamarav]

In response to the request for pictures, yes, both gave their permission to publish the pictures. (We always ask and have them sign a model release just in case, all of my clients sign a consent form for permanent makeup and it includes before and after picture releases) At least Sindi nodded, still not saying much.

The ditzy owner of the salon took the pictures with her conventional camera, damn her. My digital was in my room the whole time. I just got wrapped up working on Sindi's makeup and hair. When I go to work today I will snag her camera if she was kind enough to leave it and get the pictures developed and digitized and on here for all to see.

You will love them. I want them for my own album!!

Tami





Who uses a conventional camera (film type) today anyway?

[Chari]

Wonder what "Sindi's" family and guy friends thought about the transformation. IMO, this could create alot of confussion when Wally goes to work and wants to be accepted as Sindi, especially with permanent femme makeup.

[Linda C]

Wow Cool GG - got to love it - :happy:

[Lilith Moon]

Hey Tami,

Cool story, look forward to seeing pics.

Question...could you explain permanent makeup ? I'm not familiar with that term. :hugs:

[darla_g]

what a cool story. and you were perfect for the task i am certain!

Actually i had always had a secret salon fantasy like this. and here it is actually realized. If you wish to fill in the details i would love to hear them. amaaazing

[Christina Louise]

Wish I was Wally and not just a wally.

[SheilaM]

Wally is a VERY lucky boy!

[Mirani]

I wonder what he does for a living ... and her for that matter, just because I am nosey! Can I be rude and ask what a 4 hour transformation costs and with a wig too? must be $100's. She must have some reasonable disposable income.
And as he had acrylic nails and eyelash extensions, either he is on vacation .. or going into work will be interesting - I wonder what he does. (I am lucky as I have my own company). Cant help wondering as I am so nosey!

Sounds like a femdomme relationship (nothing wrong with that in a consensual relationship) and that all the decisions are hers. The way she speaks for him and to him is symptomatic of such a relationship.

I am not criticising by the way, just commenting. I wish them a successful and fulfilling relationship.

Wont be long before she decides he must have implants :) ... socks just wont cut it!

oh I am so jealous Tamara ... how do you manage to cope with 5.5" heels all day. My highest are 4" and I cant manage to walk for more than 5 minutes at a time! ;)

[Kayla_CD]

That really is amazing. It would be wonderful to know how salons are going to react to such requests. Sounds like they stumbled into just the right place.

[Fab Karen]

Great story. I was gonna say the same thing as Mirani, she sounds like a domme ( not that there's anything wrong with that ):happy:

I could imagine this conversation with a married CD: "what's permanent make-up?"
"oh, I thought you knew, 'cause you're wearing it!":devil:

[Sinthia]

Some people get all the luck. Having your girlfriend take you to a salon and have them make you up to be a beautiful girl is the most. WOW! And even brought clothes, including undies and heels. Couldn't get any better.

[tamarav]

Permanent makeup is makeup tattooed into place. I use tools similar to a tattoo artist and put eyebrows, eyeliner, lip liner and lip color, as well as cheek blush ans highlighter over the eyes. A full face takes about 4 hours and cost around $1600, give or take with some multiple service discounts or more if they add in other things.

The funny thing is that 80% of my clients are over 65 and some hit 85. They all basically state the same reason, can't see to do it, and want to save some time and to wake up all ready to go. I do a substantial amount of work on working girls that want to be able to sleep a bit more and their makeup doesn't wash off with "activity". Think about it....

Sindi and Becky's day came out like this:
makeup $50, eyelashes $150, wig $75, nails $50, ear piercing $30, brows waxed $10, tip, substantial, overall satisfaction by all...priceless...

Boss took the film in for processing, hope she remembers to pick it up. I will if she doesn't.

[TV Wannabe]

Cool story.

[Echo Logical]

What a lucky guy he is.

I would just love to learn to do my own makeup.

Mirani, this is an area where just about anything goes in public, many move here because we could give a flip who you are - it just isn't an issue. In fact those from out of state that say "Do you KNOW who I am?!" are usually met with "Why? Did you forget?" :heehee:

There are quite a few well paying jobs here that also do not care about what you look like. A friend who was working for a worldwide online company went to work for them specifically because they helped pay for her counseling pre-SRS. For those two years she could hide in her office if she felt but still get her job done and bring home a paycheque.

Don't forget we are the home of "grunge" (ack!) and one of the largest Goth communities outside of the UK - in fact - we had more members in clubs dressed in full Goth gegalia than all but Japan. All agree that Queen Ann and Capitol Hill were miss-named, the majority of residents on Capitol Hill have far more queens - and everyone knows it. Even tourist flock there because they have never seen an entire city so accepting of, well, anyone. Some celebrities have gotten miffed they were not mobbed in public and no one asked for their autograph. Others find it very comfortable to grocery shop without being interrupted.
They now live here full time.

Our job market demands endless creativity. To find those people you will find a diversity most do not come across nor tolerate so guess who lives here, can walk down the street dressed any way they want and get compliments not disparraging remarks? However, we do broadcast it rains ALL THE TIME and it is dreary to live here, publication from time to time of suicide rates during summer is published....but it's intentional as we actually have a lower rate than comparitive major cities. See, we don't want everyone to know what a great place we live in so it rains ALL THE TIME and everyone off's themselves.

While it isn't all roses everyday we do enjoy a life that few realize exist or is attainable. Many people like Tami come across them often and if her salon was a bit closer to the city central, my guess is she wouldn't have a moment at home to enjoy working endless hours. Her clients would more than likely be 'male' than 'female' or a couple as these were, it just is what it is when you live where it rains ALL THE TIME ;)


Tami has gotten me to thinking it is time to take DH wig spending as he really could do with a new look, and it we would do this together. He already has stopped in at a wig and hat store near his workplace, chatting a storm with the owner (a very outgoing GG) about something for him. She didn't hesitate to educate him on various types of wigs and how to wear them properly and I'd like him to enjoy again what was once waist length hair when we met :)

[susie evans]

tami
sounds like you had a great day at work and made the day for a couple of nice girls

:hugs: susie

[MJ]

eyelashes $150 , :eek:..

well if "he" as never been out dressed en femme this must have been a shock to him ? .. for a first time . i wonder how he/she is feeling about that ?

and then there is a good chance they could run in to friends ..
and if i was made up like that i would to keep my look as long as possible but i am out anyhow specially the nails . but for a rookie well theres a story to tell ..
NOW there is someone with guts

[JoAnnDallas]

Do I assume too much or did she walk out of the salon dressed???

[Ally K]

That is awesome! I wish that would happen to me!!


Pics?!

[TxKimberly]

How cool! It must have been like a dream come true for her. :-)

[Sally24]

Just another thread I'm going to have to save in my archive! Time to get another hard drive!!

Thanks for sharing Tamarav!

[simplyme]

That had to have been very exciting. We are planning a trip soon and will be making reservations for a make-over for my cdbf. What company has realistic looking wigs?

[lynda o]

I only wish someone would do that for or to me, I'll think I died & went to heaven.

[Erica Lauren James]

So where's the pics?

Erica

[Andrea's Lynne]

I'm dying to see the pix!!:happy:

Any luck getting them from your boss?

[Dee Jay]

Surely, for a first time make over, permanent make up wouldn't even be an option. I don't think it's that common here in the UK. We're a fickle nation and always changing our minds :)

It was said the Sindi had conevntional make up, but is comming back for permanent later... Doesn't fit well with me at all.

It was said that "Throughout the day with Sindi, she just nodded and seemed almost drugged."

He wasn't was he?

I'd be very careful about doing permanent feminizing make up on a man, In this compenstation society we live in today, he might have regrets later and try and sure you rotten.

I have to be honest, to me the story sound a bit fanatsy land, but if it is real, please make sure that Sindi is 100% lucid and certain before doing anything permanent.... The ears being pierced 3 times was a bit OTT for a first go!

Don't let the fact that you are a crossdresser colour the picture. Don't forget that you are professional, and should only do whats best for the customer.

[amber 07]

Wonderful story Tamara. I think we all wish our SO was so understanding. I only hope Sindi realizes what she has and embraces it fully, both her GF and her new persona.

[MJ]

were are the pictures ? :D

[ChanDelle]

What a great story, Tamara! You must have a blast!
