Hi, Candice Hollub here! My love for makeup, hair, and all things girly started the day I came out of the womb, I’m almost positive. You can hardly find a picture of my younger self without a bow in my hair to perfectly match my color coordinated ensemble. Fast forward to age 8 and my mom declared it was time for my sisters and I to style our own hair, ponytails included, after one too many tears shed in the master bathroom from her attempt at hair-fixing while getting ready for school, church, or dance. By age 13, I figured out I was good enough on my own to try my hand at a few updos and my aunt paid me to do my cousins hair. I’d say that’s the real day my heart for the beauty industry began. You mean to tell me I can get PAID to do HAIR?

Yes. All the yes. Sign. Me. Up.

At age 17 I signed up for cosmetology school, was commissioned to do my first wedding and this train of hair styling hasn’t stopped since. Throughout my 10 years + of experience in the bridal hairstyling industry, I picked up a license in cosmetology, a bachelor’s degree in Communication from Texas A&M University, a cherished career with the fabulous ladies over at Sunkissed and Made Up, started a lifestyle blog called Lots of Lovely, became a wife to my high school sweetheart, and finally a mama to the sweetest little soul.

That last title truly inspired me to take this next leap of faith to feed my creative spirit and allow time to be with the ones I love. Over the years I feel God has not only gifted me the talent to style hair, He has also given me a heart for teaching hairstyling. I am so thankful you found your way to my little space on the World Wide Web and I'm honored you have interest in this new venture of mine...The Lovely Hair Class: Hair education for professionals, enthusiasts, or the everyday girl.
