Steph at Fringe

Still can’t get over our beautiful new space. You can find me at our Wheaton location on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Fridays!

Getting lighter and brighter for the summer time… but don’t forget to protect your hair with our color UV spray! Believe it or not the sun is one of the biggest culprits of fading your color. Be sure to fight that this summer!

Happy prom season! 😍 had so much fun working with lovely ladies today getting ready for their fun evening!

Happy Earth Day! Always remember your cut hair, leftover color, and foils are not going to waste at Fringe! Let’s do our part 🫶🏻🌎

The weather is getting warmer ☀️
Which means it’s wedding and prom season coming up! Be sure to get those appointments scheduled for your special day, we would love to be apart of it!

Ready to enhance your natural features? My client Patti was over the maintenance of highlights and ready to go back to the natural side. Beware though! It’s not always as easy as coloring your hair one time to the color you want, especially when you were bright blonde before. We have to go through the process of ✨filling✨ the hair which is restoring the pigment that’s missing before going in with the color you want!

Interested in going dark again? Message me for some more info!

Happy international women’s day to the most empowering group of women I know! 👊🏻🤍

What is blue/purple shampoo and why is it important? 💙💜
Blue shampoo helps to counteract unwanted warm tones in brunettes and purple shampoo helps to counteract unwanted warm tones in blondes!
Think of this as your special at home overlay aka “toner” “gloss” for maintenance in between appointments to keep your hair salon fresh!
It’s best to use these shampoos once a week to once every 2 weeks as overuse can cause some dullness in the hair.

Happy Valentines day from all of us to you! 🤍

Sassy & textured! Products I recommend for maintaining this style outside of the salon:

While wet, apply Double Boost intense root lifter in your root area as well as a texture crème in your ends.

Before curling, apply the KMS 2-in-1 heat protectant spray to each section. Give it a loose wave, don’t feel like you have to hold your curling iron there for a long time!
When your waves are complete, rake through and then follow up with a texture spray. My current fav is the Goldwell Unlimitor creative texture spray!

Happy Sunday!🤍

The Fringe Experience now in Wheaton! ✨

Just a quick reminder here that our second location in Wheaton is now open! I will be splitting my time between both locations so be sure to call and reserve your next appointment if you have a preferred location!

I can’t wait to introduce you to our new beautiful space.

Who doesn’t love a soft blended look?! Adding depth and dimension is an easy way to change up your look without a huge commitment!

Why is it important to switch up your hair routine throughout the seasons? That’s because the weather affects our hair more than we think! During this chilly time our hair is lacking moisture which requires a deeper conditioning treatment to help! Our current special at fringe is a $20 luxury deep conditioning treatment, and when you love how your hair feels you can purchase the take home treatment for 50% off! Come give your hair some extra lovin’!

Fun fact! Adding some waves into your hair is a great way to showcase all the dimension you’ve got hiding in your hair. If you’re ever feeling like your hair looks flat or dull, try this out! My fav product to curl with is the KMS Thermashape 2-in-1 spray. This will give you heat protection AND hold!

Happy back to school!!! Let’s get nice and refreshed for the beginning of the school year! My August special is 50% off highlights with any haircut service! Call to reserve at 630-519-4027

Benefits of a deep condition ☀️
• hydrate and soften hair
• combat breakage
• deeper pe*******on of the hair than your typical conditioners
Stop by and give your hair some extra love this summer!!

It feels like summer! 🌼
You know what that means? We’re spending our days in the sun and by the pool and while we have our fun in the sun, our hair can start to hurt and become dry and brittle. It’s time to start giving it some extra love. Try out this KMS Revival Crème leave in conditioner for some added hydration during the hot summer months!

Let’s talk about tones —>
Each picture you see is the same level of color, but the first one appears darker. This is because I used an ashy overlay on her existing color. The less warmth that is in your hair color, the less reflection you will see, causing the hair to feel less bright. Stop in and let’s consult about what tones will flatter you the best!

What does it mean when you ask for a “blunt” haircut? Solidity in your ends with no layering. This is great for guests who have finer hair and want to feel thicker all around!

On top of covering your hair needs, we’ve got your makeup covered too! Come relax up in our private space while we pamper you for any special occasions you have!

Practice makes progress ✨
When I first started cosmetology school, I was afraid to attempt an updo because I didn’t even know where to start. Today, I am beginning to see the progress in myself after putting in effort to learn all about styling hair. Here’s some I’ve been working on!

If you’re investing in your color.. you should be investing in your products! I know its easy and quick to browse on amazon and other websites for your products but there is no guarantee that what you’re getting in the mail is coming from the right place. These products can be diluted or just not even what theyre meant to be at all. I want you to be happy with your color for as long as possible so stop on by and lets choose a routine personalized just for you!

Time for some brunette love! Many brunettes want to change up their look, but don’t want to go blonde. It is possible! As you can see in this pic, this brunette has gorgeous dimension and reflection while remaining dark and chocolatey. Let’s add some dimension for the summertime!

Life is better stress free & the same goes for our hair! Teleties is the perfect way to give your hair a break but still keep it out of your face. These stylish hair ties give great hold with less harm and are perfect for the summer as they’re water resistant. And they look super cute on your wrist too! We’ve got all kinds to choose from at Fringe!

If you’re investing in your hair.. you should invest in your product! After we spend our time together in the salon making your hair look beautiful, the last thing we want is for you to go home and use nonprofessional products that do nothing for the longevity of your style. Trust me, I want to see you rock your new look for as long as possible without stripping your color! Come on in and let’s chat about a routine that would be best for your current look!

A little visual to help you pick which curling iron is best for the look you want to achieve! My personal fav is the 1.25” 😍

My client came to me with essentially no shape to her existing haircut and needed something new and improved. We chatted about how face framing and layers can change up your look without having to do anything too crazy. She was so happy when she saw the transformation. This is why we do what we do! 😍

This line was formulated specifically to hydrate and define for weightless bounce and elasticity!

We’re all entitled to a self care day 💆🏼‍♀️…. Come relax with us! And while you wait for your stylist, we have magazines, beverages, and even freshly baked goods all for you! We hope to see you soon!

It’s wedding season! And we will take care of all your needs! Let us pamper you on your special day, and we even have a private space for you and your party! 💍

Education is the key to success! Love taking time out of the day to work with these gals to stay educated and keep our clients up to date on the newest trends!

Thank you for choosing us!

What is my favorite part about fringe?
The way that these ladies are more than coworkers, they’re family. And we hope to make our guests feel the same!

Feeling like your hair lacks shape? My favorite way to spice up a haircut is to add face framing layers. This helps to open up your face without dramatically changing your style! Let’s try something new - call to reserve an appointment with me!

texturizing - what is it? ✂️
Texturizing adds interest and movement into your hair creating a natural and effortless look!

Purple shampoo 💜
the most effective way to purple shampoo is to lather and then let sit for 3-5 minutes. This will help maintain your blonde between sessions and keep your hair fresh! BUT be sure to not use purple shampoo every time you wash as this is what causes you to start feeling dull, lifeless and “not blonde enough”!
P.S we have 20% off all purple shampoos right now!
