You may pick an inspo photo, then you become the inspo photo💗…⁣

Crafting a look that you feel confident in wearing for your wedding photos AND in the moment of the wedding means more to me than you'll ever know.⁣

With every hairstyle I create with you, there is:⁣
Preview discussion/consultation time about multiple factors, ⁣
the Preview itself to create the look, ⁣
photos and videos of every angle,⁣
post-Preview hair observation and notes by both of us sent to each other,⁣
my personal research of ways to further improve your look,⁣
Day-Of discussion/consultation time,⁣
Day-Of creation of the look, ⁣
any final tweaks of the final look,⁣
photos and videos of every angle,⁣
and a card/gift from me to commemorate the day.⁣

So when I get to see your photos, just know that my feet are happily kicking around seeing your smile!!💗💯💗⁣

Every moment of the wedding day matters and I am so grateful I got to be a part of Maddie’s wedding morning!!⁣

3 Things in My Kit that You Should Use:⁣

1 - A hot tools - That could be a curling iron, flat iron, curling wand, or blowdryer w/ a diffuser. A hot tool sets your hair and locks it in the shape you create and heat is needed to do that.⁣

2 - A heat protectant - You'll want to use an aerosol one most of the time for ease of use when using direct heat sources. YET a liquid one that I prefer gives the hair more staying power.⁣

3 - A wide tooth comb - For naturally straight hair, this is the perfect way to separate curls with frizz-free results. For naturally coily and curly hair this can act as a pick to lightly fluff out the roots for some root volume. ⁣

Do you have these items in your hair kit at home?⁣

Hair enhancements come in various types yet this one is my favorite.⁣..⁣

Clip-in hair extensions are the most versatile temporary hair enhancement tool I have used for a few reasons:⁣

1 - They come in various amounts of thickness to match your hair’s thickness⁣
2 - There are a TON of color options (when you can be properly color matched) + human hair ones can be glossed⁣
3 - When properly cared for and used weekly, you can reuse them for about 6-12mts before needing to replace them⁣

I used 10pcs (2 packs) to enhance Shauna's already beautiful hair for her wedding and they blended seamlessly!⁣

And before you ask that question that everyone asks…Will my curls last on my wedding/special occasion?⁣

YES, they will last until you start running your hands through your hair a ton OR shaking your hair. (Because no amount of hairspray is going to keep curls frozen in place when you live your best life on the dance floor.😁😉)⁣

Curious about how you specifically would benefit from clip-in extensions? Let's chat in a consultation!!⁣

9 years...9 lessons...1 me and 1 you⁣

1 - You are already uniquely beautiful... sitting in my chair and trusting me to style you simply enhances that beauty.⁣
2 - There are times I absolutely love and don't love this career yet I am learning to nurture what makes me love this career. (I think this is true for every career.)⁣
3 - A consultation aka a conversation/"coffee date"/meetup can tell you a LOT about someone if you actively listen to what they do and do not say.⁣
4 - I only see you every 8-16 weeks in the salon or the day of a special occasion (and maybe on a Preview service), so I want to support your at-home styling routine as much as possible with my tips, tricks, and custom PDF care guides.⁣
5 - Practice makes progress yet practice is usually frustrating when you have questions/are confused so ask me anything!⁣
6 - Having conversations with those different than you can open your world to things that sometimes makes the biggest impact for you.⁣
7 - YouTube University and Google University can be helpful, even for me, yet only for certain things, so try not to put all of your emphasis on it.⁣
8 - Serving various communication and learning styles can feel daunting yet it really is a powerful connection skill when you get good at it.⁣
9 - Your lived experience with your hair and skin matters to me. I want to understand your beauty journey and help you celebrate your beauty confidently!

I was my first client and it has been cool learning to view and experience things as a client to ensure I serve the best that I can. ⁣

In this time away from posting (yet still booked, thank God) there has been a lot of soul searching and conversations that made me think. I am so grateful for this cosmetology journey and I just want to be me moving forward, which will always be enough for the people I am meant to serve and connect with.💗💯 As a client or future client, THANK YOU for being here supporting my work efforts!!🤗 As my peer/mentor/general supporter, thank you for being here cheering me on!🤗⁣

Happy 9th Cosmetology Anniversary to me!💇🏾‍♀️🥳🎉 (I'll see you here tomorrow!)⁣
