Cami Martinez- Color + Extensions

do you ever wonder why blonde hair always looks just a little bit better when it’s photographed?

there is on word to describe why that happens and it’s dimension.

dimension is what makes curls look defined.

dimension actually hides frizz.

dimension looks and feels modern and sexy.

want to know the great news??

I am always looking for ways to give my brunettes as much dimension as possible so that they are the ones with the envious, perfectly photographed hair.

move over blondes!! this babe and all of my other gorgeous brunettes are bringing the dimension this season!!

peace love and good hair days, babes ✌🏽❤️✨

a post that’s been four months in the making…swipe all the way to the right to see where we first started. ⁣

extensions aren’t always for mermaid lengths, this babe is wearing one row of hand tied hair extensions for fullness.

one row is perfect for those gals who already love the length they have but just wish there was more of it. one row can also help your hair hold your style longer, which means less washing and less time spent getting ready in the morning. some times ya gotta be high maintenance to be low maintenance, ya know what i mean?

book your new install for march! DM me to reserve your appointment now

peace love and good hair days, babes ✌🏽❤️✨

peace love and good hair days, babes ✌🏽❤️✨

if you’re anything like me, you believe your hair appointment should be a luxurious escape from the every day reality…⁣
⁣
you love the feeling you get after a few hours of sipping on rosé, chatting with your stylist who just gets you and nails your look every time. your self confidence is leveled up and you leave the salon truly feeling like the best version of yourself. ⁣
⁣
and to keep that satisfying feeling of self care going, you enjoy taking a piece of that appointment home with you in a new favorite shampoo, conditioner or styling product.⁣
⁣
if this sounds like your kind of hair appointment we’re a match made in hair heaven. dm or call today to schedule your next mini escape to

BIG. BOLD. MONEY PIECE.

having that money piece in the front is a great way to bring attention to that beautiful face of your’s. Highlight your eyes with complementary pop of color that mimics a home from a sunny vacation glow and accentuate your cheek bones with a subtle bend from a wave.

i used a 1.25 curling iron to create this wave and add some playfulness to her bold money piece.

let me work my magic on you. a few spots left in january. dm or use the link in my bio to book.

peace love and good hair days, babes ✌🏽❤️✨

i don’t always create red heads, but when i do…dayyummm ❤️😍

swipe to see how we got here >>>

this total transformation took us the course of two appointment cycles (about 16 weeks). we had been coloring em’s hair a delicious golden brunette color for over a year and making the switch to go bright red meant taking all that brunette out and making a pit stop at blonde. my first priority is to always keep your hair healthy and never push your hair past it’s limits. giving her hair time to recoup as a blonde for two months (while she used salon recommended products) meant that when we took her red at her next appointment the color would process better and live in her hair longer between appointments.

we finished em’s total transformation from brunette to red head with one row of hand tied extensions for fullness.

been thinking of totally switching up your look? dm me and let’s create a game plan together for how to get you there.

peace love and good hair days, babes ✌🏽❤️✨

sometimes the universe works in mysterious ways…⁣
⁣
right before i met this i had told myself “man it sure would be cool to transform a babe into a red head..” ⁣
⁣
well, when brooke sat in my chair a few months ago she had dreams of one day transitioning to the ginger side but was still hesitant. so, that first appointment we kept her mostly blonde but played with adding some warmer red tones to her toners so she could dip her toes into the pool.⁣
⁣
…and she loved it. fast forward to this past weekend and we did the damn thing! 😍👩🏼‍🦰💫⁣
⁣
thank you brooke for trusting me to make your hair dreams come true. it was an absolute blast and we are both IN LOVE with the after. i mean her hair is literally glowing ✨💫🌟⁣

what makes for a great hair stylist?⁣
⁣
i think it’s like trying to make a killer cocktail. depending on the bartender, you’ll get a little bit of a different mix each time, but to me it’s: ⁣
⁣
⚡️1 part love of color + extensions⁣
⚡️1 part obsession with continued education⁣
⚡️1 part killer and unmatched guest experience with plenty of fancy amenities⁣
⚡️2 parts genuine care and love of my clients ⁣
⚡️sprinkled with endless celebrity gossip knowledge and topped off with a twist of belly laughter ⁣
⁣
shaken, not stirred, obviously. ⁣
⁣
tell me, what do you look for in your perfect hair stylist cocktail? 🥂🥃🍹🧉⁣
⁣

can i get a ‘woot woot’ for our first day back stem salon yesterday? 🙌🏽🙌🏽⁣

i love using signature placement on my brunettes to add in subtle dimension that stays low maintenance and grows out seamlessly. ⁣
⁣
as a busy working mama, aubrey is loving how this dimensional color will keep her looking on trend even for those second-day blowout or cute ponytail days. ⁣
