Hey everyone!

I just wanted to let everyone know that voting for casting for Style Network's "Split Ends" ended last Friday! I accumulated close to 800 votes, but since I was about 2 weeks late for signing up, I didn't make it.

However, that definitely gave me some initiative, so next time voting goes up for the show again next year, or any other series pertaining to hair or otherwise, I will let everyone know!

Thanks to everyone who voted! You guys are awesome! I am so happy to see so many people interested in my work! It's very humbling, and I can't thank all of you enough!

As of midnight, I am now celebrating my 27th Birthday!

Hell yeah! Here's to another year of my life, love, and Shear Terror Hair Designs!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be returning from Colorado on Monday, July 7th around 6:30 p.m. So if you would like to start booking your next hair appointment or hire me for a photo shoot, I will be back soon!

Next Saturday, July 12th is my 27th BIRTHDAY (I know, I am getting old, haha)! Even though I begin shooting for the short independent film "Scorpéo Cutlass" (I'm acting in it), I should still have the night open to going out and doing something for my birthday! So if you'd like to do something, buy me drinks, or give me something cool for my birthday, message me or call/text me at 850-454-4899.

Also, just a reminder to everyone to KEEP VOTING for me to be cast on the Style Network's reality series "Split Ends"! I have accumulated over 230 votes already in less than a week, and even though I have about 800 votes more to go to get in first, we can still make this happen! There are only 14 days left for voting, and you can vote every day, so just click on the link below and let's see if we can get Shear Terror Hair Designs on the air! Thanks so much for everyone's support! You guys are amazing!

Hey everyone!

As many of you know, Shear Terror Hair Designs T-Shirts have been underway, and now, I have TWO available preview for all of you to see! These are two planned designs that will be available for purchase very soon!

Let me know what you guys think! Any feedback would be great, especially because these we designed for YOU, the loyal clients and supporters of Shear Terror Hair Designs!

If you're interested in purchasing a Shear Terror T-shirt, let me know! A Shear Terror E-store is in the works, so you will be able to order these directly online! As soon as that happens, pre-orders will be available for those who can't wait to get their hands on one of these!

Also, be sure to check out ShearTerrorHairDesigns.com for more photos, updates, and more!

Here's a sneak peak at both of the designs:

Hey everyone!

So I have a ton of great news and updates for things happening with Shear Terror that I would love everyone to hear about!

First of all, I was interviewed for a feature at Hairburners.com! If you would like to read the interview, check it out by clicking here!

I have a couple of things in the works right now...

One of the most exciting is that Shear Terror T-shirts are under way and will be available for purchase in the near future! I will have a small initial run at first, but the more positive feedback I get on them, the more they will become available! And these aren't going to just be shirts with my logo on them..think something along the lines of the clothing line Affliction as far as design goes! You will WANT to actually wear these!

Also, with that being said, once the shirts are made, I will be featuring a new section on my page, Shear Terror Models! What this section will be for is models I know or who are interested in supporting the foundation and philosophy of what Shear Terror is all about! This will take a few months to put together, as I will need to get the shirts first and be able to travel to certain models in order to cut, color, and/or style their hair specifically for a shoot, having them model the shirts and hair for it. I already have a few models dedicated to the idea, but if you or someone you know would be interested, please contact me!

I am working on a marketing plan exclusively for Shear Terror as well, especially locally, to bring more attention and clientele to my services at Revolution Studio. My freelance session work is obviously taken care of, but I still need more clients in at the salon! If you are looking for a new stylist, one that is fun and easy to talk to, in a relaxed, exciting atmosphere, then give me a call at 850-454-4899 or come in and check out the salon at 528 W. Garden St. Suite 1, Pensacola, FL 32502.

Anyways, for the web, I am working on getting banners, my page, and a few other promotional materials done, but I will be putting a lot more footwork in soon, with my new business cards (which are available, if you would like to hand some out) and flyers (which are currently underway), offering special promotions and possible discounts. I will be putting together a street team as well, attending social events and nightclubs exclusively to promote Shear Terror, so in the next few months, keep an eye out for myself and others! If you want to join me, just let me know! I will hook you up on a few services for helping me out!

Finally, next Friday thru Sunday, I will be down in Tampa and it's surrounding areas for a couple of photo shoot gigs with on-the-rise model Chelsea Darling! During my down time there, if you would like to have your hair done, or if I have any available time for a photo shoot while Chelsea is busy with family, let me know! I will be stretched for time, but still, don't hesitate to call me and see what's going on while I am there!

Also, there are plethora of new photos I have added to my portfolio at ShearTerrorHairDesigns.com! Go check everything out and comment if you'd like!

I want to say thank you everyone and show my appreciation with all of the interest in Shear Terror! Things are rough right now because I am just starting to get this whole concept off the ground, but with everyone's support and belief in me and what this stands for has helped me out tremendously! I can't thank you enough!

If you haven't already, check out the all new ShearTerrorHairDesigns.com on Myspace! The site is still under construction, but the layout and everything is starting to come along nicely! I'm definitely excited with how everything is starting to look! More is being added soon!

Also, check out the new logo!



Anyways, much more news and updates coming soon! In the meantime, check out the new pics in the Session Stylist Work and Travis Kelley folders in my albums! All new stuff!

I've been busy, and I'm only getting busier, so be patient with me everyone! If you need anything, you know how to reach me!

Okay, so everyone and their mother is going to hate me right now, but I've been working on alot of business-related stuff lately, and have decided to switch some stuff up on Myspace. Here's what's going on...

I started a NEW Myspace business page: ShearTerrorHairDesigns.com

Right now, I have the same layout as I had on the old one, and I'm working on transferring over all the photos and info over to it. I have a brand new business logo that I will be receiving tomorrow, and I will have a completely new layout and design for the main page in a month or so! As well, I have changed my e-mail (if you need the new e-mail, message me).

The other reason for this switch is that I now have a dot com address forwarded over to this new page (ShearTerrorHairDesigns.com), so this new profile with the dot com address is what will be going on business cards, flyers, etc. I have basically decided to start promoting Shear Terror! Hair Designs itself as my business more now! Plus, linking people to Myspace.com/travisSUICIDEstylist would just be a little wierd, haha. Not only that, but I have become very busy over the past few months, with many new opportunities and business-related matters opening to me, so I'm now pushing the Shear Terror name to it's fullest extent!

So I need everyone to start adding the new profile now! I will be deleting the old profile as soon as I get everyone transferred over to the new profile, so please take note of it now! Thank you for your patience!

I can't believe this is happening again. My mother is back in the hospital, and this time it's much worse.

Friday night I got a late phone call from an unknown number, which I usually don't answer. Turns out it was my mother, calling me from the hospital again. By the time I got the voicemail, it was too late to call her back, so I got in touch with my sister and asked her if mom was back in the hospital...

Turns out, my mother's liver is severely damaged. It's not past the point of repair, but what has happened is that over the years, with all the meds she has taken and been a guinea pig on, her liver is starting to give out from it. What this means now is that if her liver recovers, she will be unable to take the proper medication for her bi-polar disorder/manic depression...ever!

Right now I am without words. I don't even know what to say about all of this. I just kept telling her "Mom, I can't lose you...I can't go through this again after Nan & Grandpa passing" and she promised me she is staying strong and will pull through this, so it's at least a good thing to see her looking at this in a positive manner. But seriously, it just seems like this is constantly taking a turn for the worst.

Well, today I got a frantic phone call from my sister, and then from my mother as well. After the hospital ran some tests on her over the weekend, apparently the only medicine they can put her on is Lithium. The last time my mother was on Lithium, which was many years ago, it only made her worse, both mentally and physically. To add to that, her doctor is not providing her with enough information about her liver or what other routes she can take, and the entire unit is treating her like she's lost her mind simply because she has been crying all day (I guess when you act like their little puppy dog, you're "stable") and she doesn't know what to do because no one will give her answers. So later today, whenever I get a break, I am going to call her doctor myself and demand some information. I've about had it. This is my mother we're talking here, not just some drone or guinea pig.

So I need your prayers or whatever it is you do, yet again. My mother is the strongest woman I know, but strength alone sometimes might not pull you through. I've seen it before, and I can't lose my mother.

Also, I start at Revolution Studio today. I need everyone who has been so loyal to me and showed themselves to be true friends as well to please come in and get your hair done. With all of this stuff going on with my mother, and being as to how I should be in Ohio right now as it is but couldn't afford to go even though I had a plane ticket ready, I don't need to be stressing out about if I am going to make my booth rental, rent, and pay my phone bill, all of which is due this week and I have hardly any money for right now because of everything that has been going on.

Please call me at 850-454-4899 to schedule, as this salon is by appointment only. Just showing up isn't going to work anymore, so I will need to know if you are coming in. I definitely appreciate it and will forever be in your debt for any of your help!

Thank you everyone for being so supportive and understanding, and especially for keeping up with me about how my mom is. You have no idea how important this is to me and my family!
