Coloring is my happy place. To take someone’s hair and change it so they love what they see when they look in the mirror.

Did you know that 40% of women experience visible hair-loss by the time they are 45 years old?

Hair loss can effect you in many ways. For many their hair is their identity. For some they love to change it every 3 months. But for most when our hair starts to thin it effect our self confidence and self esteem.

There is a wide range of different hair extensions to help this. Not only the type that makes your hair thicker or longer but also ones that you can put on the top for thinning on the top of the head or even bangs if you’re thinning more in the front.

If this is something that you struggle with I would love to have a sit down with you and chat about the different options I may have for you.

You are not alone.

Why should I use some crunchy moose or styling foam? How can you do it without the crunch?

Here are some misconceptions about moose.

1) Moose/foam always makes my hair crunchy.
If used and let air dry it will turn out crunchy but when put on wet hair and blow dried it will still leave your hair soft and movable.

2) If I use it then I have to dry my hair every time.
False! I put it in my hair wet comb it through and only style it the next morning after air drying. You will still have fantastic results.

3) It’ll make my hair oily. M
Depending on how your skin is and the product you use and how you use it will determine if you end up with the excess oil. By only placing the product through the ponytail area and combing through you are much less likely to produce the exact oils because the product is further away from the scalp and only brought up to the top of your hair by the comb or brush keeping the bulk of the product on your ends.

Try it, it may change the way you style.💕

I wanted to send a huge thank you to all of my clients today that understood and rescheduled for me.

We lost my nephew this weekend and I thought I could do work today but as I got ready the tears came. I continued getting ready and they continued to fall.

In this profession we work with people and we have to be there for them, give them a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t be able to do that for you today. I’m not going to come in and fake that I’m happy, I’m a bad faker. You don’t deserve a fake person. You deserve to have a good relaxing experience with a happy stylist. And I just couldn’t be that for you today.

So thank you to all who rescheduled and held understanding in your heart. Thank you to all who have reached out. I appreciate all of you. Hold prayers in your heart for my sister and her family as no one should loose a child and brother so young.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

If you know me you may know I have never been big into skin care. I don’t spend a lot of time on myself.

If you were going to ask me to pick one thing out of this line that has helped me the most, what would it be? Every single time I would say the Duolab. And here’s why.

Not only has it taken away the dry dull skin that would make my makeup stand up and drive me crazy because I felt like I looked 10 years older at least. But now I feel like I even look younger! I feel like I have a youthfulness back to my skin.

And I don’t know about for men, but for women that is huge when it comes to confidence and self-esteem! Nobody likes to look in the mirror and not like what they see.

So yes I would say if I had to pick one thing, Duolab hands down!

Someone made a comment about one of my photos not too long ago. Saying they don’t know how I get the hair to be and look so soft. That every time they do their hair it looks nothing like that.

The secret is in the sauce, my friend.! What is going to control your hair and give it the softness and the soft look can a lot of the time be the type of products you use on your hair as well. Many times I ask what you use in your hair and I get the response of nothing just shampoo and conditioner. Which is completely normal no worries.  Unfortunately when it comes to the soft curls and the control aspect products is where it’s going to be found. And I’m not talking load your hair up with a lot of products, but definitely have a thermal protectant to protect against the heat of your irons and blow dryers and have a styling cream or moose that works well to control your hair type.

For this, you need to know what your hair type is do you have a lot of frizz or do you need somebody to it that will 100% determine what kind of products you need to control that in your hair.

Many of my clients I use Joico Curls Like Us Hydrate and Define before I try style, that controls frizz in the hair.

You got this! And I’m right here for any questions you may have.

Why doesn’t my hair look like hers I had them do the same color they used on her?

This is a great question! In the end it really all comes down to the pigment/color of/in your hair and the mixture or formula created to put on your hair. Let’s brake it down.

All of our hair has the colors from the color wheel in it. But everyone’s hair differs in the amount of each. What you have in/on your hair has a lot to do with it.

I am naturally a medium ashy/golden blonde. My hair has more yellow in it so when I lighten it to a lighter blonde it does lighten easily but without toning it it will still look yellow.

My gorgeous Amanda, we color her to a beautiful chocolate color. But since she has so much natural red pigment in her hair (she is a brunette not a redhead) we have to use a brown color that has a green base. That is not a typo, GREEN. Or any color we put on her looks very red in color. So for Amanda, if I were to put on her hair the same formula as my beautiful Amber in the photo, Amanda would be a red brown color instead of a beautiful chocolate.

And you may be thinking, well I color my hair so that shouldn’t have anything to do with it because you are putting color on over colored hair. Weeellll, then, not only do we have to think about what your natural hair has in it but also what the color has in it.

A real quick example would be:
You have brown hair that flows into a blonde on the mid to ends of your hair. You go to the store and buy a box that says Natural Ash Brown because you just want to be all one color. Unfortunately, I can almost guarantee the top of your hair may be a nice brown but your ends will have if not a little a heavy green tint to them.

In no way am I trying to make you fearful of getting your hair colored. I want you to know your hair is unique to you and so the color mixed for you will be unique to your hair. One size does not fit all 🤣. And that’s the perfect way to be.!

I hope I helped.💕

I’m not going to lie to you, extensions can be an investment. So we really want to get you hooked up with the right ones right away. I want to give you some things to think about to help you decide what kind you think may be best for you.

Now, I only deal with Halo and Toppers so that’s what we are going to chat about.
1) are you thinning on top or more in the back and are you looking for extra length in either one of those areas?

2)do you have areas with very little or no hair, where are they located? Because toppers clip into your hair the location and amount of thinning is a key to know.

3) do you have sensitive scalp skin or neck sensitivity? Sensitivity in these areas could lead to discomfort and/or headaches. You may need to ease into wearing them, a couple hours here and there, strengthening your tolerance. Our scalp is full of nerves and can get irritated easily if we aren’t nice to it.

We will be working on this together and if you have any questions along the way I will be here for you. I hope this gave you some food for thought when considering halo and topper extensions.
