Do you feel like your blonde turns brassy between salon visits?

Most everyone’s does! It is totally normal for the toner to fade and the warm tones to come in. There is only so much the purple shampoo can maintain before you need to bring in the big guns- the toner.

In order to keep your cool tone blonde, I suggest coming in every 4/5 weeks for a toner.

The picture on the right is after 8 weeks with regular purple shampoo use but as you can see, when the toner fades it shows the warmth.

Save or send to someone who could use this!

Before and after 🤩 18” extensions for length and fullness!

Instead of coloring her natural hair, we added some lighter pieces in with dark as well to give her hair a little dimension🤎✨

Do you come to your appointment with clean or dirty hair? 🧼

I get asked this question a lot 👀

I personally like clean hair to work with, I feel our hair color and lightener can pe*****te the hair more easily and evenly without having to push through a bunch of products and hair oil.

What about other hairstylists? What do you tell your clients?

Brighter blonde and healthy hair for summer 🌿

So fresh so clean 🪡

Every 8 weeks we move up her 2 rows. She is a rockstar with her at home care and her extensions look SO GOOD after 7 months! The way you take care of your extensions will determine how long they will last for you 🫵🏻👌🏻

If you’ve been thinking about adding extensions for length or fullness DM me and let’s chat! 😄

I love a good Saturday filled with prom styles ✨🤩

The perfect Mother of the bride or Mother of the groom style 🌿

I always recommend a half up, or all down style. It is definitely the most popular among the moms.

Are you using a shower head filter for your blonde?

At home blonde hair care is 25% me and 75% you. 😁 I can educate you on the products, recommended washing routine, and up keep but it is important to do these things in order to keep your blonde the same way it was when you stepped out of the salon!

The most common mistakes I see for blondes
💎 using hot tools on high heat and without a heat protectant
💎 using an oil for the ends that is colored and not clear
💎 not using a shower filter for your shower head if you have hard water
💎 not using a blade or a purple shampoo
💎over washing/ washing everyday

We LOVED how this color came out 😍
I toned it using 10vv,10t,10gro,9AA, clear

There’s nothing that a set of 18” extensions can’t fix 💅

Rosie came in and wanted longer and fuller hair so we came up with a game plan to add 2 rows of 18” hair extensions and we LOVE the result!!

Highlight/lowlight 🌿

I totally forgot to get a before picture but she had a blonde bayalage that was mostly grown out- I mean she was a BLONDIE! We lowlighted and highlighted it to put more dimension into it and we LOVED how it came out!

One of my favorite bridesmaid style ✨

Every time I see a big chunky braid like this I think of the time that a bridesmaid sat in my chair and referred to the braid as an “instagram braid” 😅 it just makes me laugh!
