The most important part of your appointment is the consultation! If you’re new on my schedule, I will usually reach out early to do a little e-consultation and then we’ll replay your goals in person too.
Info I always need with new clients:
🌿Photos of your hair currently
🌿Goal photos
🌿What do you want your maintenance to be like
🌿Your hair’s history (previous color?)
🌿Are you able to invest in quality products to help guarantee the longevity of your style
There’s also so many times clients get the urge to do something drastic - which is cool - but it’s my job to find out what’s happening in your world and talk you thru the the pros and cons of your goals.
Consultations are massively important. I like to know as much as possible before I have a new guest come in because I’m selective with the services that I do and to be honest, I might not be the perfect fit for everyone.

Therapist: “Keeping a regular routine is good for your mental health.” Our clients: “Got it!” *books all extension move ups for the next 6 months* 😜 Regular extension move ups aren’t just a style preference — they’re a commitment to hair health. I always remind my clients that extensions have an expiration date before they need maintenance and you should NOT wait until they’re literally shedding before coming in! So say it with us “I am going to treat myself and do things that give me confidence” — you are WORTH it!

Quick tips:: How To Prepare For Your Hair Appt— 1️⃣Wash your hair — dirty hair could affect the efficiency of haircolor (especially those temporary coloring root sprays). Also it’s important to see how your hair naturally lays if we are doing a dry haircut. 2️⃣Stop using purple shampoo at least 2 weeks before your appt — The toning built up can cause the lightening of your hair to take more processing time. 3️⃣Use a clarifying shampoo or Detox conditioner from @innersenseorganicbeauty — This will make sure colors and lighteners easily create that brilliant shine we all love ❤️ 4️⃣Buy clean hair products — shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and heat protection is essential in maintaining shiny healthy hair. I how this helps clients who may have previously wondered or waiting for their appt day! 🫶🏼 #Balayage #BurbankBalayage #BurbankSalon #BurbankHairstylist #Burbank #GreenSalon #EcoFriendlySalon #OrganicSalon #PlantSalon #OandM #OriginalMineral #OrganicHaircolor #OrganicColor #Haircolor #BurbankColorist #CleanHaircolor #LosAngeles #MagnoliaPark #VisitMagnoliaPark #ParlourConfessions
Just your favorite nerd talking about her love for the safe and clean beauty products I/we are currently in love with! For anyone with sensitive skin, doesn’t want additional exposure to cancer causing chemicals or loves to support small businesses who give $ to environmental organizations working to clean up our world — I got you! #BurbankSalon #BurbankHairstylist #Burbank #GreenSalon #CultandKing #Innersense #EcoFriendlySalon #OrganicSalon #PlantSalon #OandM #OriginalMineral #OrganicHaircolor #OrganicColor #Haircolor #BurbankColorist #CleanHaircolor #LosAngeles #MagnoliaPark #VisitMagnoliaPark #ParlourConfessions
When it comes to hair requests, 5 year olds have the style game on lock! Who knew Disney could inspire such epic hairdos?
Things you didn’t know about Allison (Part VI) and the last post of my 30 day challenge! I went to school for business management and learned that our university had a deaf studies/sign language interpreting major. Of course, there was a boy involved, and the rest is history, but I did take four semesters of ASL. I think being a kinetic learner in the hair world really connected to my hands in the sign language world. #SignLanguage #SignLanguageInterpreter #SignLanguageHairstylist #ASLHairstylist #DeafHairstylist #ASL #Burbank #BurbankSalon #ParlourConfessions
Things you didn’t know about Allison (Part III) Most of the time when I tell you all that I do aerial dancing people are like what the f**k is that?! I even have a rig in my backyard and suspend different apparatuses, which I dare say I don’t play on often enough! But here’s me on Monday on one of my favorite apparatuses, hammock, at a local spot. I’m always looking for friends to join me! I started on hoop, lyra, in 2016 and fell in love with the really creative aspect and intense workouts. Since there’s been a salon that I opened and a few babies in between, I certainly don’t dance to the same regularity - Still love it when I can get to it!
From the first haircut, to the latest color, and a few cuts in between, my little fashionable baby turned 5 today! He’s so creative and certainly keeps me on my toes with his style requests. Maybe a future hairdresser?!?
Listen there’s enough toxic sh*t out there. So this year I made a change - O&M CØR.color is the cleanest hair color in the world and was created for chemically conscious folks and committed hair peeps. Losing my mom to cancer has really shaped my perception on chemicals (especially in my industry). The chemistry (that maybe wasn’t invented 10 or 20 years ago) is available so why aren’t we all using something smarter and safer?

@mariebardelli’s Winter Vs Summer looks. I dig it. Blonde doesn’t have to be one shade. It absolutely can change with the seasons. #Seasons #WinterBlonde #SummerBlonde #Blonde #BlondeHighlights #BlondeBalayage #ShadowRoot #LOB #BobHaircut #BurbankHairSalon #BurbankHairstylist #VisitMagnoliaPark #ParlourConfessions
Fall brings spectacular days of foliage🍂 and I love to recreate autumn inspired haircolors. Inspired by dynamic fall landscapes and romantic color-changing leaves. Copper hair is a seriously underrated hair color option 🍁 And of course, every look these days is not complete without some curtain bangs! #CopperHair #RedHair #AuburnHair #FallHair #CopperBalayage #CopperHighlights #CurtainBangs #BurbankSalon #VisitMagnoliaPark #ParlourConfessions
The first haircut in the salon was 1 year ago today (before I officially opened @parlourconfessions)! What a treat to see all the progress made! #BurbankSalon #BurbankHairStylist #MagnoliaPark #MagnoliaParkBurbank #ParlourConfessions
Since it’s my 🎂 today, I figured why not post my own hair. Clients often ask, “What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever done to your hair?” THIS color from Oct 2017 is hands down the craziest I’ve ever worn. It was BIG all-day job for @brittanylainestylist! Check out the wildest haircut I’ve ever had on my stories. #RainbowHair #WildHair #PulpRiot #UnicornHair #BurbankHairSalon #BurbankHair #BurbankHairStylist #MagnoliaPark #MagnoliaParkBurbank #ParlourConfessions
Who loves that social media is now a business? 🙋🏼♀️ Liar. This month I’m dedicating energy to ➡️posting your lovely hair (and not stressing about captions & Instagram algorithm metrics lol). Going through my phone made me realize I have been trying to get some 2019 hair posted (and more recent too) so it’s time to do it! Enjoy the road down memory lane (especially if you’re in the photos this month!) Here are the many colors of @gracetarandek! #PinkHair #BlondeHair #CurtainBangs #BurbankSalon #BurbankHairStylist #HairTransformation #ParlourConfessions
I’ve decided to give myself a 30 day challenge — posting to Instagram EVERYDAY in July! And I’m gonna start it off with a two-part introduction TO ME! Hi I’m Allison! I’m the owner of @ParlourConfessions and I want to introduce myself🙋🏼♀️ First off, I just don’t have it in me to post a cheesy photo of myself gently stroking my hair and gazing off into the distance… lol - so instead, here’s ME — dancing in the middle of MY salon! 💃🏻 I’ve graciously been transforming hair behind the chair SINCE 2004 (and illegally… since I was like 15 years old lol). But I’ve actually exclusively worked at only two salons before taking on this venture of Salon owner. 💇🏻♀️ At A Tamara Dahill Salon, I helped the owner @tamara_dahill run weekly classes for stylists. Her extensive color knowledge encouraged me to obtain an additional certification thru the American Board of Certified Haircolorists. It was there that I fell IN LOVE with helping future stylists succeed! 🙇🏼♀️ I was lucky to experience running a beauty college with the owner of @academyforsalonprofessionals @jilltwinone. In total awe, I watched the fastest student to PRO transformations and whenever I’m asked for a referral, I always mention this institution! 🚌 TO BE CONTINUED… Stay tuned tomorrow for more about ME! #BurbankSalon #ParlourConfessions
We love the moment where you can say, DAMN, I look good! So here’s a friendly reminder to love yourself (and your perfectly painted balayage locks 😉): ❤️“Say yes to all of it. Say yes to the beauty and the good and the ugly and the difficult. Choose what you have, what you are. Choose to love and remember. You are full. You are alive." ― Kimber Simpkins ❤️ #BeforeAndAfterHair #Balayage #BurbankBalayage #BalayageGoals #BalayageHighlights #SunKissedHair #BurbankHairSalon #BurbankHair #BurbankHairStylist #MagnoliaPark #MagnoliaParkBurbank #BurbankHair #ParlourConfessions
Celebrating every milestone! One year ago- took a WILD pandemic RISK! The calm before the storm… literally worked like a crazy person to get doors open 7 weeks later (had no idea how long it would take to turn the building around but I just threw out a number and sent some prayers to it). BEST DECISION EVER! Happiest little gal here❤️ And did you know that my husband‘s bike shop celebrated their one year anniversary this week too!?
