Strawberry blonde 🍓
Her natural color is an ashy light brown. She typically always goes for blonde highlights but this time we switched it up! We made her base gorgeous natural light red/copper base and added a bit of blonde balayage!
If you’ve been thinking about switching up your color this is your sign to go for it! ✨

Scheduling update. Thanks for being the best clients! ❤️

I wanted to give you all an update for scheduling and bridal party bookings! Thanks for your patience! 🤍

Have you ever heard the term “reverse balayage”? It means just want it sounds like! Normal balayage paints a lighter color on the ends but reverse balayage paints and blends a darker color from roots down. This is exactly what we chose to do here in this picture!
A reverse balayage might be the right choice for you if:
🟤You want to feel darker while still keeping some light ends
🟤You’ve been out in the sun and it’s dulled your hair
🟤 You want some depth and dimension back in your hair

Would you believe me if i told this is not a natural redhead? 😍 has been just about every depth and shade of red throughout the years but her natural color is actually a light ashy color! 🤯
We kept her base color a light copper to make it really feel natural and then added in some buttery colored balayage highlights ✨

What is your dream hair color? Have you ever wanted to go red? There are so many options! Let’s chat at your next appointment or send me a DM!

The hardest part about being a hairdresser? Resisting the urge to chop my own hair after seeing how cute a cut like this is on someone else 🤣

I did a poor job of getting a before picture but we cut enough hair for her to donate to .for.kids! If you’ve ever wanted to donate here’s some things to keep in mind:
✂️Your finished cut will be even shorter than the measured cut. There will be lots of evening out and shaping to do so I always give a 1-2 inch estimate shorter than where we chop the ponytails off.
✂️Minimally processed hair is best
✂️ It might be shocking at first but so cute and so worth helping a great cause! ❤️

We finished her cut with some fresh face framing pieces & balayage.
Are you team long hair or short hair? Have you ever donated your hair? Let me know below!⬇️

Did you know, sometimes adding lowlights can actually make you feel blonder?
🔹Yep! Especially with “lived in” color techniques today, hair can start to all mesh together creating a warmer muted tone all over. Adding a bit of the right kind of lowlight can help:
1. Cool down unwanted warmth
2. Give depth and definition back to your hair &
3. Makes your blondes really pop!

Think lowlites might be a good option for your next appointment? Send me a DM and we can chat!

Another great example of a slow and steady transition to blonde! ✨
We have been working her lighter since last summer! She has very thick hair that we had previously colored all over dark so there has been lots of old color and warmth to break through. Because she has been so patient in the process, she’s been able to keep the health of her hair and grow it out while simultaneously going blonde! 🎉
Have you ever wanted to transition lighter or darker but not sure what the process would look like?

Tips for getting the most out of your hair between washes!

🧴Shampoo thoroughly
🛏️Use a silk or satin pillowcase
🪥Brush your hair before bed
🧴Dry shampoo last

How long do you go between washes? Hope some of these tips will help you be able to stretch it longer!

Does this sunny weather have you ready to go blonder? Me too!! A few things to keep in mind when going lighter:
☀️It may take multiple sessions to get you to your goal blonde. Patience is key when going lighter. (This beauty has been working her hair lighter for her upcoming wedding since the Fall)
☀️A root shadow can help tremendously to soften grow out and make it feel more natural if you’ve always been darker.
☀️A good purple shampoo and deep conditioner will be your best friends for maintenance!

< makes business pages and doesn’t post for over a month> 🤦‍♀️🙃
If you’re a current client, you know how packed my schedule can be so taking pictures at the salon is usually the last thing on my mind. My goal for this year is to change that and take more pictures to post for you all!

In the meantime, my sweet friend took some headshots/ branding photos for me and these two unexpected photos just really felt like the most “on brand” for me. 🥰 When I’m not doing hair, you can usually find me running around or dancing with these two little ones!
