BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Updos by Kim

Jedi Kim – Hair stylist to the modified (including some of the BME staff).

So, ladies, if you want to look super gorgeous for ModProm II you can contact Kim and she will do your hair in the comfort of your hotel room.

Cost: $50 minimum on all styles (a quote will be provided in the online/email consultation). You must send Kim a photo of current hair and example of what you want, a 50% deposit required is up front before the appointment can be confirmed.

Before: Don’t was your hair for 24 hours before the appointment. Updos work better on naturally dirty hair and I don’t want to be fighting squeaky clean hair, nor blow-drying hair for half an hour. Updos can take up to an hour if the hair is clean, so please do not wash your hair!

Accessories: Any hair accessories must be purchased ahead of time and brought to the appointment (clips, barrettes, flowers, et cetera).

Please allow enough time for your style, as I am human not a machine.

Please wear a button down shirt/robe/tank top for your hair session so that you may change clothes easily.

Tipping is appreciated.

Hair appointments will be on July 1st between 2 and 6pm (last booking 5pm).

I will take up to six people, but no less than three. If there is not enough need, I reserve the right to cancel.

I am currently waiting on confirmation of a second stylist that will be able to fill another six appointments.
