On Sunday, June 3rd, 20 or so women gathered at Topps Salon in Oakland for a fun networking event and a mini-photoshoot with photographer Laquel Wright.
The event took place from 3pm – 7pm, and featured yummy bites, drinks, and desserts from Cakes Made by M.E. and Nickey Her Berries for guests to snack on.

Guests gathered to get makeup professionally applied by artist Christine Shayesteh (Makeup by Christine) and then to have some portraits taken by Laquel.

All attendees would later receive their favorite 4″ x 6″ by Laquel. Topps Salon owner Tamika was on-hand to give any hair opinions and offered guests discounts on products and services booked that day.
Christine also brought a few models to demonstrate to guests some lip and eye makeup tricks.
