believe it or not, this is ALL her natural hair!!!

we went in and added a ton of dimension, brighter blonde pieces, and a cooler tone while keeping everything soft and blended for that seamless grow out.

one thing that’s really important to me when creating custom color is making sure your hair looks just as good months down the road as it does when you leave my chair. i want you to be able to go 3-4+ months between appointments without feeling like you need to come back because your grow out looks bad. you should WANT to get your hair done, not feel like you have to!

between customized color placement, a plan that works with your lifestyle, and a luxury experience where you feel taken care of from start to finish, my goal is to make your hair something you love living with, not just something you love on appointment day 🫶🏼

if that sounds like your kind of hair, i’d love to have you in my chair!

giving monster high doll ❄️💙🤍

we wanted something bold and fun, but still low maintenance. so instead of taking the blue + white highlights all the way to the root, we created a more lived in, dimensional placement throughout her curls.

we lightened specific pieces, added icy white + blue tones, and kept plenty of her natural depth throughout the base for a softer grow out and less frequent maintenance ✨

custom color doesn’t always have to mean high maintenance, you can have creative, vivid hair AND a lived in grow out.

this is one of the first steps of my scalp facial: using a gentle ultrasonic scalp tool to lift away loose dry skin, flakes, and buildup before we move into the rest of your treatment.

this is the kind of thing you don’t realize you need until you experience it.

especially as we head into the colder, drier months, your scalp can hold onto more than you think. product buildup, dry skin, excess oil, flakes, and everything in between. giving your scalp a true reset can make your entire hair routine feel different.

if you’ve been saying “i need to take better care of my hair”, the place to start is actually your scalp. ✨

and if you’re looking for a gift for the person who:
• says they don’t need anything
• already buys everything they want
• loves a good self care experience
• could use a little time to actually relax

a scalp facial is the kind of gift they probably wouldn’t think to buy themselves, but will absolutely remember.

something i realized i haven’t talked about nearly enough: Arete 🤎

while i tend to talk about Innersense more here, Arete has actually been a part of our salon for over a year, and we carry the full line on our retail shelves.

Arete is a professional hair care line centered around botanical ingredients, hair + scalp health, and conscious beauty. they have everything from everyday shampoo + conditioner to scalp care, treatments, repair, and styling products, with formulas designed to nourish, strengthen, and protect the hair.

i really love having another option that fits so naturally into the holistic approach i want for my clients. healthy hair, intentional products, and a little more thought behind what we’re putting on your hair and scalp.

i’m excited to start sharing more of my favorite Arete products and what i recommend them for ✨

second time around with this vivid pink, swipe to see our before from our first session 🩷

her first appointment with me was a color correction, so our biggest goal was getting her hair onto a more even, workable canvas. now that we’ve had some time to build on that foundation, we can keep pushing the brightness and creating a more seamless, vibrant result.

this is why vivid color corrections can be a process, sometimes the best way to get brighter, more even color is to work with the hair over multiple appointments rather than trying to force everything in one session.

and this time we added the pink brows too, because if we’re going pink… we might as well make it pop 🎀

if you’ve been wanting a bright, customized vivid color but you’re worried your current color history might make it complicated, let’s talk about what’s possible for your hair.
