Falling for a fresh hair look this autumn! ๐๐

What is your perfect appointment? โจ
I know we all come to the salon because we need
our hair done, but the ways in which we enjoy our hair appointment time can be super different.
Iโd love to know what your perfect appointment looks like and how I can serve you at your next appointment!
Do you want to be social? Sit and chat with your stylist and other guests. Use this time to hang out and enjoy the social interactions.
Do you want silent? Prefer a quieter appointment. To talk less and maybe scroll on your phone, read a book, or just close your eyes and relax.
lโIl take your lead. I love to chat but I also
enjoy the quiet as well. ๐ค
What does your perfect appointment look like?

I have the most exciting & rewarding career!
Thanks to YOU - my clients who make it all possible ๐ฅฐ
I get to make amazing connections, do fabulous hair, and talk to my amazing guests and friends all day. Does it get any better?!
I love hearing about your amazing vacations and families & I am so thankful that I can be there for you through your big moments in life!
Thank you for making my days happy and I hope that I can make just as big of an impact on you as well.

3 must haves as a blondeโ
โข
1.) Clarifying shampoo! It removes impurities/build-up off of your hair and gives a clean canvas for purple shampoo, conditioners, and styling products to do their job.
โข
2.) Purple shampoo! It's necessary to neutralize unwanted golden tones in light blondes. But donโt over-use. Once a week should be enough.
โข
3.) Hydrating products! Blonde hair just needs extra moisture. A great hydrating or repairing shampoo, conditioner/mask, and a leave in conditioner will help keep your hair from feeling dry.
โข
As a blonde, what's your must-have products?
Sometimes you just need a little change โจ

Surrounded by people who are excited to come to work every day and genuinely happy to see you. ๐ค
Are you ready for a color update? โจ
About 3 hours of sitting in my chair, but it will be at least 4 months before you need a refresh with this low maintenance look! โจ
Come on in and help yourself to a beverage, grab a snack, log into the Wi-Fi, and unwind while we pamper you. ๐ค

Before you make the commitment, let me give you some pros and cons!

โขShorter hair adds fullness & volume
โขYou'll spend less time styling
โขLess length means you'll use less product

โขMore frequent salon visits to maintain a short style
โขMay limit styling options
โขNo buns or ponytails means you may need to style daily
Thereโs something about a caramel balayage ๐คฉ๐โจ
Do you struggle with dull hair, and just want the shine?!
โข
Shine is something that every guest can struggle with, but we can make the hair more reflective by using these techniques:
โญ๏ธ Curl hair away from face in the same direction.
โญ๏ธ Use a shine spray or serum!
โญ๏ธ Smooth the frizzies with a little coat of hairspray and a brush or your hands.
Fall vibes ๐
โข
How gorgeous is this copper?!
โข
She has the skin tone and blue eyes to really rock this color! ๐
Keep that salon color fresh AF ๐คฉ
โข
Wait 72 hours after a color service to shampoo or wet your hair.
This allows the cuticle to completely close so that youโre not rinsing the glosses and toners down the drain.
(Dry shampoo will help keep hair looking and feeling clean until it's time to wash)
โข
Protect your color from heat and UV exposure. Just like your skin, heat and sun affect your hair. Turn down the heat of your styling tools & make sure to use a heat protectant and UV filter.
โข
Heat, sun exposure, & frequent shampooing are the enemy of color retention.
With some simple hair hacks, we can prolong your style. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Do you love your long hair, but you feel like it's been "blah" lately? ๐ซค
โข
Let's talk about how we can spice it up without touching the length! ๐ค
โข
Layers โญ๏ธ Long layers can add movement while strategically placed shorter layers remove weight. The shorter we go, the more volume we can create!
โข
Texture โญ๏ธ Adding little bits of blended short pieces, otherwise known as texture, can help give interest and a little volume without changing the overall shape of your long look.
โข
Color โญ๏ธ Even just adding some face framing highlights will add a little pop to the front of your hair. ๐คฉ
I didnโt know when I joined the hair industry back in โ09 that I would also have to be a photographer too. ๐ธ
โข
But here we areโฆ rolling with the changes ๐คฉ
โข
So please excuse the awkwardness as I try to pose you for the best hair shot ๐
Did you know that sometimes, your old
color helps me in creating dimension?
โข
Brittany had some existing highlights on the ends of her hair that were on the warmer side. She wanted to be a little brighter and dimensional, while still having an easy grow out.
โข
For this look, I added some brighter/ashier highlights for a combination of warm and cool tones. Then we root smudged her base and toned for a seamless blend. โจ
The trust my clients put in me is
unmatched. ๐ฅฐ
โข
I love when my clients send or show me inspiration pictures then say โwhat do you think?โ Or "I love this but whatever you think would look good on me!"
โข
They always have faith in me and we always love the end result! ๐
โข
I am so thankful for the trust my clients have in me and I don't take it for granted! โค๏ธ

CurveballโฆRae is my middle name.
I used to despise it, but I have grown to love it.
l am a caffeine addict. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Self-improvement ju**ie. ๐Although, suspense books are my vacation reads. โ๏ธ
I am a huge podcast lover. - so send me your favs!
Country music has my heart, but I also love some rap
and rock. Guess it depends on my mood. ๐ถ
I rarely watch TV...but I am trying to make time to, so
that I can stay up on what everyone's talking about! ๐
I have naturally curly hair, but you'll almost never see
me rocking it. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
But, if the 80's hair comes back, I'm readyโฆ๐
Going for a more natural look โจ
โข
Years of highlighting and โ๏ธ had Katieโs hair lacking dimension. She was wanting to work towards a more natural look.
โข
We did a reverse balayage for a more natural look that is low maintenance and easy on the hair.
โข
& I think itโs just gorgeous ๐คฉ
Have you ever been stuck in a hair rut
where no matter how many highlights you get, you just don't feel blonde enough?
โข
The answer here is to leave some depth behind.
โข
I know what you're thinking. Why would I put darker color in my hair when I'm trying to be brighter? ๐ค
โข
My friends, we need contrast. Blonde can get flat and dull.
