Soft, seamless, and made to grow out beautifully. ✨ We created this look with a soft money piece and babylights throughout for natural dimension that stays beautiful long after you leave the salon. 🤎

The journey to brighter blonde ✨

This guest had been getting partial highlights for a long time, so today we transitioned her into a full highlight for maximum brightness and dimension. Since the underneath hasn’t been highlighted in quite a while, it’ll continue to lighten and blend beautifully over the next couple of appointments.

Sometimes blonding is a process, and taking the time to keep the hair healthy is always worth it. 🤍

✨ Lived-In Dimension by Shawna ✨

There’s just something about a beautifully blended brunette. 🤎 We created a soft, lived-in look using custom highlights and lowlights for natural dimension, shine, and an effortless grow-out.

The goal? Hair that looks beautiful today and still looks amazing weeks from now. 🙌

Ready for a color that’s customized just for you? I’d love to have you in my chair!

✨ Fresh chop + full highlight = the perfect summer refresh. ✨

We brightened her up with a full highlight and finished it off with a textured, lived-in bob that has all the movement. 🤍

Copper dreams 😍🧡

We said goodbye to 4 inches and hello to this rich, dimensional copper red. The perfect blend of warmth, shine, and movement for a completely refreshed look.

I am obsessed with how this color catches the light! ✨

✨ Soft dimension with a natural finish. ✨

This beautiful guest came in with virgin hair and wanted to keep things simple while adding some brightness and dimension as she prepares for an upcoming fitness competition. 💪🏼

Angela created this look with a partial highlight and a bright money piece to frame the face, then finished with a root tap and gloss for a seamless blend and beautiful shine. The result is natural, low-maintenance color with just the right amount of brightness.

Amazing work by ! 🤍
