Revisiting Jurassic World this afternoon—because opening a dinosaur theme park is basically the prehistoric version of asking, “Do I want bangs?” It sounds fun until the consequences start chasing you. 🦖✂️😂

No “before” needed—these natural waves deserve the whole spotlight. 🌊✂️

My last client of the day, and we definitely ended on a high note.

Yesterday’s highlight ✨

Watching Clambake because apparently this is an Elvis weekend.

But I'm a hairdresser, so naturally I'm not watching Elvis.

I'm staring at Bill Bixby's hair.

I have officially stopped following the plot.
