Behind the Bangs

From pink and violet to a bold turquoise evolution 💙✨ We had so much fun refreshing her color and taking her hair into a whole new vibe with this rich all-over blue transformation. The final result? Dimensional turquoise tones that absolutely glow 😍

We finished everything off with our milk_shake Insta Shine service, leaving her hair feeling like literal glass — silky soft, ultra smooth, and unbelievably shiny ✨💎

Obsessed is an understatement 🌊🩵

Got my cousin .kayj all prepped for her trip to Las Vegas and you know we couldn’t send her off without a little hair magic first. We did a quick root touch-up using CaluraTen permanent color to cover and blend her new growth, then finished her off with a Calura Gloss refresh through her previously lightened ends to boost that shine and tone.

The result? Seamless roots, glossy ends, and hair that’s ready for pool days, late nights, and lots of selfies under those Vegas lights. 💁🏼‍♀️✨

Safe to say… Vegas is getting the best hair version of her.

Magical Rainbows this weekend!!! So much fun to do this refresh… next time you see me, ask to see her before… the fade out is incredible!!!

Hello friends old and new!!! Just wanted to share a couple fun non-hair related facts about me!!

✨ Mickey Mouse is my spirit animal

Heading out of the salon for a few days of training in sunny(hopefully) Orlando, Florida.

I can’t wait to share everything that is coming in the world of 👏🏼💕💯🥰❤️ stay tuned for all the exciting new news!

If I told you just a few months ago, she was a dark violet. You wouldn’t even believe me. So love this color on her. It’s giving serious Jessica Rabbit vibes! thanks for always letting me play!

✨ I’m officially back from maternity leave this Saturday after Thanksgiving! ✨

My books are pretty full, but I may have a few small openings here and there — so if you haven’t been able to get scheduled yet, now is the time to reach out. 💛

I’m so excited to be back in the salon, catch up with everyone, share all my maternity-leave stories, and of course show off some adorable pictures of the girls. 🤍🤍

Thank you all so much for your patience, love, and support during this special season. I can’t wait to see you in my chair again! ✂️✨

When you’re trying to go natural but your hair says… no thank you. We had all of the intentions of adjusting out the vivids but her hair said no thanks and pulled the toner in hard! Not upset at all, we just pivot and shadowed new growth with some soft to create a softer lived in vivid moment 🥰 it felt so good to be back behind the chair again today. Thanks for spending your Sunday with me!

“Tell her,” I whispered to my daughter as she pressed her body against mine.

She wrapped my free arm around her little shoulders while I finished loading the groceries onto the conveyer belt.

I smiled at the young cashier who had streaks of blue and purple swirling into her otherwise jet-black ponytail.

My daughter was right when she’d whispered to me, “Her hair is so pretty.”

“Tell her,” I repeated with a little nudge.

My girl only dug her pink cheeks deeper into my side as she nervously twisted the hem of my sleeve in her small fist.

The cashier looked down at my daughter, her expression mostly bland with a hint of concern.

“My daughter thinks your hair is beautiful.” I explained.

The cashier’s face lit up. “You do?”

This coaxed my little one from her hiding place. She looked up and nodded.

“Thank you so much! You made my day,” the cashier said with a smile brilliant enough to compete with her highlights.

My daughter returned it with a beaming smile of her own.

As I walked out of the store, holding my daughter’s hand, I stole a glance back at the young woman. Her energy was clearly brighter now than it had been when we first entered her line.

After loading my groceries in the trunk, I climbed into the driver’s seat. It was then that my daughter made a declaration, “Mom, I think I’m gonna start telling everyone when I like their hair.”

“You should, honey.”

And she did.

She still does.

It’s a rare occasion if we make a trip out in public without her telling someone that she loves their hair, or nails, or shirt, or shoes. To be honest, I think she even does so more than me. And it’s one of my favorite things about this girl.

She learned, at a very young age, the power in raising up others. She learned that by simply telling people when you see beauty in them, you elicit the beauty of human connection.

So maybe we should all take this lesson to heart. Maybe next time you see something you admire, whether it’s her hair, her clothes, or her actions… Maybe you should muster up the courage to tell her.

Because that small second of effort on your part could be the one thing that makes her entire day.

Just tell her. ♥️

It’s been a while! Missing my salon family, so I thought I would share some magical hair I did on before going on maternity leave. I will be returning back to work after Thanksgiving, so please reach out if you are not already scheduled on my books. I hope to be available to get everyone in before the holidays. I have so many stories to share and pictures to swoon over with you all! Thank you for being patient while I spend some taking care of my family and myself 🩷🩷🩷🩷
