NARI KYE WEDDING - NEW YORK WEDDING

Cinematic Black-and-White Soirée
Published Summer 2010
from NEW YORK, wedding section

Nari Kye & Samuel Carter

After making it through three costume changes, a public parade, a Korean tea ceremony, and one heartfelt serenade, Nari and Samuel missed their honeymoon flight to Mexico. But that’s what happens when your wedding is a piece of theater. The Brooklyn duo’s courtship started with a shared appreciation of Twin Peaks (they even announced their engagement on YouTube with a parody of the show). Then, inspired by Fellini’s 8 1/2, they asked guests to wear only black or white. “We wanted it to be very dramatic,” Nari explains. “Like a dream sequence.” The ceremony took place at Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, where Nari wore a replica of her mother’s wedding dress and walked down the aisle to “Rhapsody in Blue,” holding a bouquet of raw cotton. When it was time to head to the reception at Smack Mellon, “we had one big parade,” says Samuel, “with the band leading everyone out to ‘Bicycle Built for Two.’ ” Dinner was a barbecue bonanza courtesy of Hill Country, after which the couple changed into traditional Korean garb for a formal tea ceremony, before Nari donned yet another ensemble: a glam cocktail dress she collaborated on with a designer from Bensoni, in which she serenaded her groom with an original song. Its title? “Wonderful We.”

Laura's Wedding

" I’m just wrapping up my edits for Laura and Steve’s wedding (at 2:30am….) before heading upstate for the rest of the week. These guys were such a sweet couple. We went for a pancake breakfast at Bubby’s a couple weeks before the wedding to run over the details, and that’s when I really started to picture their plans for the day and get super stoked for the wedding. Joao joined me on this one, and he rocked it as usual.

I met up with Laura while she was getting ready. That’s David Lyle Jones Munoz doing her hair and makeup. It was my first time working with David, and as you’ll see, he did a fantastic job. " To check out more of JP WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY CLICK HERE

"Thank you so much for helping to make the wedding so special...... you welcomed me into the world of beauty in a way that I never knew was possible. The hair you did for my mom, Shelley, and little Zoe (how cute is she??) was also gorgeous." Laura

LeighAnn's Wedding

Though I plan to write a more formal note, I wanted to thank you again for everything you did for myself and my friends/family on my wedding day!

You were such a calming presence to have around, and made everyone feel comfortable. It may sound like a small thing but it really went a LONG way to keeping the day from being stressful.

Beyond that, you were also charming and funny, and everyone adored you. I guess I should also mention the terrific job you did with everyone's hair as well, since that was beyond our expectations. But hey, don't let it go to your head ;).

Best wishes,

LeighAnn

what can I say about David? 2 years ago I walked in at a West Village salon with the hopes of finding a "decent hairstylist" that would cut my hair. The guy at the front desk immediately said, "he should cut your hair". I trusted him, but I got to be honest.... I was really scared. 
I felt a little bit better when David introduced himself. He's got the best attitude and an amazing personality. I am very very meticulous and specific about my hair. Well, he immediately knew what I was going for. He gave me the most precise haircut Ive had in my life. I've had my hair cut by some of the best in the industry and I found the best a few blocks away. I found a great stylist and a friend. I've been lucky.

An excerpt from  Real Green Weddings

Her hair was styled by eco-friendly hair dresser, David Lyle Jones. "David uses non-toxic products such as Aura Hairspray". Under her veil, Claire wore a Spanish peineta, or "mantilla comb," in honor of Spain, where she spent a year in high school, and in honor of Jose's Spanish ancestors.

Best Salon - Must see David!

12/29/2008 Posted by AliAnn

Salon de Quartier is the best salon I've ever been to. From the moment you walk through the door everyone there makes sure you have the best experience - relaxed and stress free. It's very easy to book an appointment and to get to the Dumbo location from Manhattan. Only 20 - 25 minutes tops! David is the best! Do yourself a favor and get an appointment with him. I've been going to David for almost a year now and every time I see him I leave the salon feeling like a new person. David knows how to create a look (cut and color) to fit your personality and the season better than anyone I've ever been to. I sat in his chair and told him "I want to be dark and don't know about what cut" and David created a style and color that is just exceptional. I've never had so many compliments on a a haircut and style ever! David really cares about his clients and will do everything he can to make sure you're happy.

Pros: David, Value, Atmostphere, Staff

Cons: None!

Amazing Salon and Service

12/17/2008 Posted by AileenR

This is the best salon ever! David is an awesome hairstylist and sincerely cares about what he does and does an amazing job of giving you exactly the right cut/color/style that is right for you. Everyone at this salon is friendly and the service is great and very well priced. The salon itself is super cute, located in Dumbo. David was actually my stylist at a different salon in the city and I've followed him now to his new salon in Dumbo b/c he's that great! I would strongly recommend, and have recommended, Salon De Quartier to everyone!

Pros: Great service, staff, salon

Cons: None!

"They seemed to know that life is a precious thing and that we are always in danger of marring it.  He imagined them as they would be if their shadow of questioning were skimmed away;  if they were flooded with the light of complete surrender, of reckless trust, But how can these things be said?

A cut above: meet a hairdresser who expresses his creativity every day at work.(your future)(David Lyle Jones)(Interview)

Photo Hairstyling by David Lyle Jones  (placed only for this Blogspot)

COPYRIGHT 2008 Scholastic, Inc.

Choices continues its profiles of men and women working in occupations atypical of their gender. In this issue, Choices interviewed David Lyle Jones, a hairdresser at Renew salon in New York City. Only 15 percent of all hairdressers are men, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. David has been a hair-care professional for nearly 20 years. 

Choices: What led you to become a hairdresser? 

David: After receiving a degree in political science and economics in college, I worked as a paralegal. When I realized that I did not want to become a lawyer, I decided that I wanted to work in an industry where I could travel, work anywhere, and choose the hours that I would work. The business of hairstyling appealed to me because I could transform my creativity into three-dimensional art.

Choices: How does someone become a hairdresser? 

David: The requirements are different in every state, but for the most part, you need to go to beauty school to learn the basics of hairstyling. After you complete a certain amount of training--in New York, it is 1,000 hours--the state provides you with a cosmetology license and then you can practice hairstyling. However, many hairdressers choose to work as apprentices after receiving their licenses because the experience of working in a salon offers additional education and helps to increase confidence. 

 

Choices: What is your job like? 

David: I work five days a week and have anywhere from 5 to 10 appointments per day. I c

ut, color, relax, or perm the hair of my clients. Sometimes I am asked to create up-dos or style someone's hair for a special occasion. 

Choices: What is the best part of what you do? David: Helping peop

le feel inwardly good about themselves. The best thing is to make someone feel more confident about who they are as a person. I look at myself as a problem solver; I try to turn the negative aspects of a client's hair into a positive quality. It is not about making people look like models, it's about making them look better and feel better. 

Choices: Why is hairdressing a good job? 

David: There are many opportunities within the field. You can work on the fashion side of the business, doing hair and makeup for runway shows, or you can work on the medical side with patients who suffer from hair loss either from illness or aging. 

Choices: What would you say to young men to encourage them to become hairdressers? 

David: Look beyond the assumptions people make about men working in fields dominated by women. I see hairstyling as an art and a science. In fact, more goes into hairdressing than most people recognize. You must be aware of many different things: the chemical side of the hair for coloring, the hair structure and how it grows for cutting, and the differences among hair products and their ingredients for healthy hair care. Overall, there are many opportunities for men--hairdressing is really what you make of it.
