When you feel like there are things in life you can't control, change your hair 🤍

A little reverse balayage for this client who was as bright blonde as blonde can be.

I've had the best bridal parties this year 🤍

Heads up to future brides, wedding season for 2023 is starting to book up. Contact me if you would like to get on the schedule, I would love to be a part of your big day!

Loving all of the fall color trends this season 🧡

Dark coppers, rich chocolate browns, creamy blondes. I'm obsessed!

What are you favorite trending colors right now?

Nothing quite like a fresh cut. One of my bridal clients came back after her wedding to chop off her hair and I was here for it! It brought so much life and volume back to her hair 😍

Wedding season is my favorite 🤍

Alright, raise your hand if you've spent the summer in the sun, by the lake, by the pool, in the ocean, living your best life 🖐

Now raise your hand if you're hair is feeling dry, dull, brassy and lifeless 🖐

Summer is great for the soul but hard on your hair, why not treat your hair to some tlc. How about a malibu treatment to pull all the build up and minerals, a conditioning treatment to rehydrate those ends, a toner to even out the warm brassy tones. Message me to see what your hair needs and let's get you in the chair!

That dimension 🤌

Another new client today 🤍 we're working on getting her back to her bright blonde that she had previously. Today was a mix of teasylights and foilyage with a root tap to get her all over brighter but with a lived in blonde look 🤍

After being logged out of my account for 2 weeks and multiple emails, I have finally had success with Instagram support and my account is back!

If that's not cause for celebration I don't know what is 🍾🥂

Hi friends!
I don't know if anyone else had to deal with Instagram going down last week, but long story short I got a notification that I was logged out of my account. I haven't been able to log back in and I've been emailing Instagram for over a week trying to get it sorted out. So for all of my clients, my account .violetgrey is currently not accessible to me. If you need to get ahold of me to schedule while I'm figuring this out feel free to dm my personal Instagram or send me a text. My phone number is posted on my Violet Grey account.

This has been super frustrating to deal with and I'm hoping it can get sorted out without having to make a new account. I will keep you updated!

FEBRUARY PROMO ALERT 💕

Alright friends we are half way through January, how's your new year new you coming along?

Did you make resolutions or is that not your thing? If you did make them how are they going? I always try to start my goals before January because I have never seen through a true new yeats resolution 😂 in my mind if I start before or after January it might actually work for me.

I'd love to hear the changes you want to make this year! Is better hair maintenance a part of that?? I still have appointments available for this month if you're wanting to try something new for the new year!

There might be snow in the forecast but this hair is 🔥fire🔥

I'm LOVING the trending reds right now! Come through Ginger Spice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nothing like a fresh highlight to start out your year. This before and after was so satisfying 🤌🏻

Raise your hand if you had a drink for Betty last night 🥂
Here's to 2022 🤍

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays friends! Santa found the jolliest bunch of a$$holes this side of the nut house 🎅

Ok guys there is a poll going on in our family right now and there is a great divide. Ranking the 'Santa Clause' movies 1-3, how you ranking them??

Sound off in the comments I want to settle this!

It's a Christmas miracle 🙏🏻🎄🎅

This was a WHOLE project today. This client reached out hoping I could help her. She had gotten her hair done just before Thanksgiving at another salon. She really wasn't loving the results and wanted to just be blonde again. With big overhauls like this the first step is always managing expectations. There are no guarantees in color and I made sure she was aware that we might not be able to achieve what she was wanting. But I was confident we could at the very least get her to something she was ok with for the time being.

With coffee in hand (she brought Starbucks for both of us 😍), a malibu treatment, 6 bowls of lightner, 6 hours, and a lot of patience later. We ended up getting her to a gorgeous all over blonde with a cool shadow root.

Love these big transformations, swipe to check out the beginning and middle steps 🤍

A little pop of color to brighten your feed today. I had so much fun with this one 💜 Happy Wednesday friends!

I think at this point I literally tweak her toner every appointment that she comes in, because why not? She gives me free reign so might as well have some fun with it!

Added just a smidgen of copper this time to make her love for pumpkin spice show through her hair 😂😍

Seriously loving the warm fall tones right now, and sooo ready for those cool fall temperatures 🍁🍂🎃

🔥🔥🔥
This one was fun! Also happens to be a perfect example as to why you put your hair and trust in the hands of a professional hairstylist!

We took this girl bright red a few months back, if you swipe over you'll see the end result of that first appointment. My biggest thing that I stress to people wanting red is that it FADES! Red fades probably faster than any other color. Which this client knew and was perfectly fine with. In fact she loved the color that it faded to so much that when it came time for a root touch up she wanted to match them to the new lighter coppery color.

I was able to formulate and give her the most perfect fall red EVER 😍 We were both in love with it! Raise your hand if you're ready for fall colors?? ✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻

Here's a fun fact about Emmitt for if he realizes I'm going somewhere he starts getting into any bag in sight as if to say "look I fit right here, oh you're taking that bag? Well look I fit in that one too!" Since he was a puppy he realized that bags go places and he fits perfectly in just about any bag so he should obviously get to go too right?

Needless to say my morning was full of guilt trips as he hopped from bag to bag hoping he would get to go on a road trip too 😂

So anyways Happy National Dog day to all my dog lovers out there 🐶🤍

This project took 2 sessions, almost 12 hours, and just under 50oz of lightner to accomplish. This girl literally has the most hair I have ever had in my chair.

Her mama reached out to me and said Alexa wants to be platinum. I know all my hairstylist friends just cringed reading that. We aren't lying when we say platinum takes patience, a lot of time, and sometimes isn't even realistic.

We went into her first session with a game plan of doing several sessions of full heavy highlights. When she came in for her second session I went through her hair to check it's integrity, how it was feeling after that first session. I reassessed and decided if she was ok hanging out in the chair even longer than the first time, we could get it done that day.

FULL DISCLOSURED: THIS ISN'T ALWAYS THE CASE.

She was blessed with strong, healthy hair, that lifts incredibly well. So I guess what I'm saying is, trust your stylist. We want you to love your hair just as much as you want to love it 🤍

Hey guys! I got into the studio early today so I thought I would take the extra time to do a fun post. I want to know more about you guys so I thought, what better way to start it out than to share some things about me!

10 facts about me:

1. This first pic is my IMMEDIATE family. Yes you read that correctly, there's 16 of us between bonus parents, step siblings, and significant others! My sisters and I are lucky enough to have 6 parents that love each other as much as they love us. We like to say our group puts the fun in dysfunctional.

2. I'm the oldest of 3 girls, God apparently thought my parents needed a challenge in life and boy did they get it with us 3. They raised some strong willed, hard headed women; although my brother-in-law might use the word crazy 😜

3. If you've sat in my chair you know this one, I have the cutest pup 🐶 he's an old man of 11 but still has the energy of a puppy. Emmitt was named after Emmitt Smith (for my Cowboys fans out there...I personally am a Bears fan but my sister named him)

4. I'm a huge Potterhead. . On our family trip in July my sisters and I went to Harry Potter world for the first time. It was so fun to share the experience with my niece who spent literally 30 minutes finding her perfect wand.

5. I can play guitar, I started lessons when I was in high school. My family can probably count on one hand the amount of times they've ever heard me play because I can't play in front of people 😂

6. My best friend and I have been friends for 19 years. She's my rock, I truly don't know what I'd do without her 🤍

7. My favorite holiday is Halloween, dressing up is my absolute favorite part of the year 🎃

8. I had a minor life crisis turning 30 this year so I quit my job, bought a new car, and had a photo shoot to mourn the loss of my 20's. It was so much fun, 10/10 would recommend 🖤

9. I drink my coffee black, tea unsweetened, and whiskey straight. Truly a no frills kind of girl 😂

10. I LOVE my career. I love hair and making people feel good after they've been in my chair. It truly is my passion!

Now it's your turn, tell me something about you!

Ok, is my mom not ACTUAL hair goals?

A few months ago I finally caved and toned her with a warm toner instead of cool (because give me all the icy tones) The warmth gives the perfect contrast of brightness against her dark base. And compliments her skin tone perfectly 👌

Are you guys more into icy cool tones, or warm bright tones?

Some bridal party fun for your feed on this lovely Saturday morning 🤍

I'm getting more and more bridal parties and I'm loving that brides are letting their party choose how they want their hair. I'm also loving that everyone is wanting TEXTURE these days, it makes my job so fun to able to create these gorgeous styles. They look so effortless 🤌🏻

But I'm curious, what style do you guys tend to lean towards for a special occasion? Do you like half up half down looks or an updo? Personally in this Indiana humidity, I know there is absolutely no way my hair is going to stay looking cute all day if I leave it down 😂
