Doing this job long enough doesn’t make you immune to a good old-fashioned mistake. Grab popcorn.
STYLISTS: What oopsies have you had in your career⁉️ I want the good stuff!

POV: You finish your run… and your hair somehow looks like you fought a tumbleweed. 🫠🏃‍♀️

If you’re constantly cutting knots out after cardio, try this instead.

✨ My runner-proof hair routine:
• Secure your hair to minimize friction and bouncing.
• Keep tension soft (too tight = breakage).
• Finish with Redken Acidic Color Gloss 24/7 Serum to nourish, protect, and keep your lengths smooth while you’re putting in the miles.

Your workout should build strength, not split ends. 💁‍♀️

Save this for your next run and send it to your workout buddy who always ends up with a bird’s nest after cardio. 🫶

Faux curtain bangs, no scissors required. Just Redken

If you’ve been living in the Off Campus universe like the rest of us but aren’t ready to actually cut bangs, this one’s for you!

Booked for a full highlight. Only needed three foils.

The schedule says one thing. The hair says another. Guess who wins.

Overprocessing hair because ‘that’s the service you booked’ isn’t consistency, it’s just damage on a schedule. Assess every single time, not just at the first consultation.

this is especially why consultations are so important but sometimes things change between the consultation and the service. In these situations I will shift my foils to areas where they are more needed or I will opt for doing a treatment instead of foil work to make up for that time and income.

What do you think?

The twist roller hack went VIRAL… so I had to ask myself: what happens if I use THREE? 👀

I’ve been testing a new styling technique, and honestly… I think this might be even better.

Instead of one roller, I twisted three rollers around the hairline after using the AirLight Pro to create soft lift, face-framing volume, and that effortless blowout effect without teasing.

I’m still experimenting, but I had to share this one because the results surprised me.

✨ Would you try this?!

Save this for your next wash day and let me know if you test it, I want to hear what you think!

Step 1: remove the bug. Step 2: remove several levels of pigment.

My friend wanted way lighter hair and came with a bonus guest nobody invited. We handled both. 😅

She wanted jet black, I gave her blonde ….

this client is one of my OG’s. She always keeps me in my toes and asks for something different every single time. Sometimes I’m up for the challenge and other times I talk her off the ledge. this time I was here for it!

What do you think of her results?!

Also have to say, the ALK Base shift was so beautiful, and just enough to soften the contrast
