Happy end of Summer!

Currently I’m all booked up for back to school haircuts. 😅 You’re more than welcome to text me to be out on a wait/cancellation list but I cannot fit anymore in and that’s with double booking what I have.

My schedule in the fall is changing! I will be working Monday and Wednesday nights (5pm-),Tuesday and Friday days (9am-2pm), and on average every other Saturday (8am-). Colors are looking to be booking into October right now.

I’m so grateful for all the love clients show my work and I truly try my best to fit everyone in. With my family’s schedule changing, I will become more strict with my hours though. This is hard for me as again I love seeing you all and want to make your hair beautiful!

The best way to contact me is through text message (608-217-5415). My voicemail hasn’t been working well the past few months and text allows me to look back on our conversations as well as avoiding conflict with my home life (kids in the background 😆).

Hope you all have a great August and I’m excited with the new product line to try on you.

EXCITING NEWS!

I now carry and hair product!

Hair product makes a huge difference in your look and your hairs’ ability to hold style. That’s why when I realized I wasn’t 100% happy anymore, we needed a change.

I’m still learning more about the product line but so far LOVE it.

For August I’m offering 20% off when you purchase 2 or more products, making sure your hair is ready for the fall.

Product pictured is all 30% off!

Excited to announce a change here at the salon next week! I’ll be here from 8am-12:30pm today!

No holds unless paid.

For my clients, please take the time to fill this out. 😃

Do you drive downtown? We want to hear from you! The City is asking community members to share input on their parking experiences by taking the 2023 Downtown Parking Survey.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

It’s been a while since I posted but wanted to give you just an update on my business.

I am always accepting new clients BUT I will say I’m booking out almost 8 weeks for a color currently. So just giving you a heads up if you’re looking to book.

Also I am part time, working mostly nights and weekends. I’m home with my children during the week during the day. So I can not make Monday through Thursday during the day work.

If you’re trying to reach me messenger on Facebook is not user friendly. I will tell you that so please text me with the number that listed. Texting works the best as I can then see my schedule as we chat. I do have boundaries in place when it comes to answering. If you haven’t heard from me in 24 hours assume my child got to my phone before me and text again. (I hate that I even have to say that but that’s life of being a mom at home)

Thank you for always supporting me and my small business. ❤️

Happy 2023!

I have officially updated my pricing, and you know I hate doing this but as eggs are a stupid amount, I have to keep up with cost of living 😜 Reminder this is an art and I do have 12 years of experience under my belt and rarely raise my prices. I like to give everyone fair warning as I know its a luxury to get your hair done and some have to budget. If you have any concerns, please reach out to me! 😃

I have gotten a few texts about the weather this week and with it being a holiday week. I’m pretty booked but willing to try to accommodate if you’re wanting to change your appointment time.

Please reach out to me via text, messages on here seem to get lost.

**picture to grab your attention 😜

Happy Winter, all!

I wanted to bring attention to something’s:

1. I do not have anymore availability between now and Christmas if you’re looking for a color. Haircuts are few and far between but I can try my best.

2. I will be raising kids haircuts starting December 1st. They will go as this:
- if your child is not in grade school, they will continue to be $15. No wash.
- if your child is in grade school it will be $20, this will include your choice of wash or style
- if you have longer/thicker hair and would like it washed and styled, I do have to book a longer appointment time similar to a woman’s haircut. Some girls have more hair than most of my women clients. So that will now be charged as a women’s hair cut starting at $40.

If you have ANY questions please let me know. I always like to let people know what they are to expect before getting services done. ☺️

3. Many of you do not know but I also do hair and makeup for weddings. I have a two women I do this with and we do travel to locations. We are now booking for 2023. If you’re interested or know someone please make sure to reach out to me as dates fill fast and we would love to be apart of your special day!

Unilever recalls dry shampoos due to potentially high levels of benzene Benzene is a known carcinogen. Exposure to elevated levels of the chemical can raise the risk of some cancers and blood disorders.

First of all, I want all of my clients to know that I appreciate them all so much. I have been in business for over 2 years on my own and a stylist for 11 this year. Some of you have grown up with me and have watched me get married, have babies, and make the transition to business owner. I love you all.

As of August 1st, I unfortunately have to raise my prices due to cost of product going up. I have held off as long as I can and am seeing the effects of it. A new listing of prices will be posted by next week. If you’re wanting to know a rough estimate of your hair because you budget (like a responsible human 🤣) I can give you that. Please share this with any friends or family that you know that visits me as I do not want this to be a shock to anyone.

Secondly, I have seen an insane increase in no shows the last two weeks. This honestly frustrates me as I send out reminder texts prior and most clients have my phone number to contact me. I understand have to cancel for reasons not in your control but I ask that you give me time to find someone to replace your appointment time. When you do not show up that is literally taking money away from me when my cancellation list could’ve helped. But when you do not show, I am unable to contact them to replace your spot and hopefully get you in sooner. With that being said if you no show me I will request you pay half your appointment cost before your next appointment. This is going into effect immediately. I HATE to do this because I get things happen but I can’t afford to keep doing this.

Thank you for understand and respecting my business as I love having you all in my chair. 💕

For my clients, I use an 1.25 when curling most of your hair 😜😍

Look at these cuties! Fresh cuts for both and a little doll up.

Little fact: before beauty school I was going to school to be a teacher. Didn’t love it but love spending time with kids. So kids cuts are one of my favorite things. 🤗

This year has been the most trying year for everyone but definitely wasn’t the most ideal year to start my own business. But we will overcome and it makes me stronger. Who would have thought I’d have to learn to cut hair around a mask?!

Just a friendly reminder from Ella you MUST be wearing a mask to enter the building. We will not be allowing people in without one. If you need one text me upon arrival and I will bring you one at the door.

“You’re going back to work and leaving me?!” - Walker

I’m heading back to work next week and am now booking appointments. Currently I’m booked until mid November just a heads up! Message me to book 💕

On August 6th we welcomed Walker Carroll into this world. He has been a dream and Ella truly enjoys loving on him everyday. 💙

Happy July, everyone. ☀️
My last day at the salon right now is July 31st before my maternity leave. For those that have an appointment that last week right now I am keeping you there but I might reach out the week before to try and get you in earlier as I’m growing more uncomfortable and due to possible quarantining before labor. With that being said I’m taking my guidelines pretty strictly now to keep myself and the baby safe. Masks must be worn during appointments ❤️
As of now I do not have any appointments available between now and the 31st and will more than likely not make room for more. I will be back mid October. Thank you for being understanding during this crazy time. 💕

Nothing stands in this girl’s way! ✨ ✨ It was so fun to get to know .fieiras a little bit better tonight. Heart of gold right there! ⬆️💛💛💛 I will share more soon!

It’s been a hectic week and a half but we are loving seeing everyone.❤️ Today we eat donuts on National Donut Day 🍩 and enjoy our little outdoor rooftop space.
Also, don’t mind me. I may look like I ate a dozen donuts but I’m just 30 weeks pregnant over here 🙃 @ Janesville, Wisconsin

Tomorrow I will be opening my doors again 👏🏼👏🏼

If you have an appointment in the future please read these guidelines we have in place for the building. You will also be receiving a text with them so you have my number for your upcoming appointment.

Keep in mind we are doing this for the health and safety of you, myself and both of our families. If you don’t agree with the guidelines you can cancel your appointment and wait to reschedule for a later time. 💕

TAKING APPOINTMENTS NOW!
I have officially booked all the appointments missed in the last 8 weeks. I am now open to booking other appointments. If you’d like to book please message me. My availability is a little more open the next month. 💕

Rock County announced today that salons can open Thursday with one client at a time. I will be opening but not until the 26th.

It takes hours to book all the appointments missed so please be patient as I work through the last two months. I do have a list of people to contact once I’m done with the missed appointments. If you’d like to be added to this list please reach out to me by message or text (608-217-5415).

My guidelines that I will be following will be posted within the next couple days. I ask that you follow them for the safety of yourself, my other clients, and my family. ❤️
