Your holiday plans deserve a hair plan. 🖤✨

A little Hairmonstr schedule update: I’m offering longer hours during the week and keeping Saturdays short, with very limited availability.

If you’re a Saturday regular—or have a specific holiday event, trip, or party in mind—let’s get your appointments on the calendar now.

This is also a good time to map out your maintenance through the end of the year. We can space your appointments around your color, haircut, or extension needs so you know what’s coming next.

💚 Book through the link in my bio.
💬 Unsure what to book or how far apart? Message me and we’ll make a plan.
🖤 Save this as your reminder, or send it to your friend who always books at the last minute.

October openings + your holiday hair heads-up ✨ 09/29/2026

Hi friends,

October appointments are open! If your hair is ready for a refresh, a bigger change, or a little extra attention, now’s a good time to get on my calendar.

I’m also booking holiday appointments now. My schedule will be limited during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s weeks, and I’m keeping Saturdays light throughout the season. Here’s the holiday heads-up:

* Thanksgiving, November 26, and Black Friday, November 27: Off
* Christmas Eve, December 24, and Christmas Day, December 25: Off
* New Year’s Eve, December 31: Partial schedule
* New Year’s Day, January 1: Off

If you have holiday photos, travel, or an event coming up, book with that date in mind. Bigger color changes and extensions need extra planning, so reach out early if either is on your wish list.

A little Hairmonstr reminder: Every haircut includes a luxury treatment chosen for what your hair needs that day, whether that’s moisture, bond repair, scalp care, or a buildup reset. Color appointments include treatments too. All services are time based and gratuity free.

Don’t see a time that works? Message me to join the waitlist with the service you’d like and the days you’re available. I’ll reach out if a spot opens up.

See you in the chair,
Collette

Things more hairstylists should tell you: what a difference two inches can make—and why I’m ALL about it. 👀✂️

Sometimes the biggest transformation isn’t adding more hair—it’s knowing what needs to GO.

Those two inches were thin, see-through, and weren’t doing anything for the overall shape. Taking them off instantly made her hair look:

✨ Fuller
✨ Thicker through the ends
✨ Healthier
✨ More intentional
✨ And honestly… LONGER somehow?! The math ain’t mathing, but the hair IS. 😂

I will always choose full, juicy ends over hanging onto length just for the sake of saying your hair is long.

Sometimes your “length goals” need a lil haircut to actually look like length goals. 💁‍♀️

Do want a hairstylist who’s GREAT at hair and FUNNY?!

Well look no further. I’m yo gurl.

Be believe you’ll be entertained during your session and your hair will leave feeling better than ever (within in reason of course 😉)

And these aren’t even all of them. I contain multitudes. And apparently so does my salon. 💀🧚‍♀️

Anywayyyyy — your hair will leave looking hot, feeling healthy, and ideally better than when you came in because ✨standards✨

Will I enable your hair delusions? Yes.
Will I also tell you when your hair said absolutely the f**k not? Also yes. 🫡

So if you’ve been lurking, stalking my work, saving hair inspo, and telling yourself “I really need to do something with my hair”…

✨ THIS IS YOUR SIGN, BABE. ✨

Stop raw-dogging your hair problems and come sit in my chair. 😂

Grey blending isn’t one-size-fits-all 🩶✨

Maybe you want your greys softened but still visible.
Maybe you want them blended into dimensional highlights.
Maybe you’re ready to embrace the silver and make it look intentional AF.

The goal isn’t always to cover grey — sometimes it’s about creating a color that works with it, grows out beautifully, and actually fits how much maintenance you want to commit to.

There are SO many ways to grey blend, and your version doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Hi y’all it’s me. Real talk I’ve been struggling this week and just in general lately.

💚I love my life, my clients and my friends but damn if I don’t make sure I’m taking care of me and recharging I feel like I’m not my best for my clients, my friends and my peoples.

😅I’m so grateful but it’s really hard to not feel like I’m burning out and still feel imposter syndrome and like I’m not doing enough! 🫠

Like I know other hairstylists and small business owners gotta relate. RIGHT?!?!
Ugh please let me know. Cause this baddie needs alone time right now LOL. OKAY. THANKS. BYE.

POV: seeing a K-tip install through my eyes 👓✂️

A little behind-the-scenes with my Meta glasses — custom cutting + installing a few DreamCatchers Extensions K-tips to add fullness exactly where it’s needed.

Because extensions don’t always have to mean MORE hair everywhere. Sometimes a few strategically placed K-tips are all it takes to fill in those spots, create balance, and make everything hit just right. 🤌

And for everyone always asking about my color 👀 — it’s ALL 𝖈𝖍𝖗𝖔𝖒𝖆𝗗𝗔𝗗𝗗𝗬 🎨💚
