Mane Haven

1st before and after of 2026. We love a client requested plot twist!! My girl has ALL the hair and she was ready for a few inches off and after lots of years of blonde variations and the current lived in/grey blending foilyage (which was like 6+ months ago) she requested darker! Main requirement was richness and shine… mission accomplished!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLY! We have been rocking out hair transformations for YEARSSSSSS and I think we are both just getting better with age?! My girl has ALL the hair and is embracing her sparkles a little at a time with a blended and bespoke foiliyage. Wishing you another year of amazing, lady. Thanks for spending your birthday letting me refresh that mane of yours and catching up about life 😍

A few weeks ago I got the honor do dolling up my long time client and friend Sami and her “I do crew.” Such a treat to have known her since high school and get to be a part of her special day!

Isn’t she lovely?! It don’t do a ton of wedding work these days, but when I do it’s because it’s by special request. I not only got to stand by one of my best friends as she married her guy, I also got to create this upstyle for the special day! Honored is an understatement (and even more thrilled it held up to the Key Largo heat and humidity). Congrats and thank you for letting me be a special part of your special day!

Mackenzie wanted dimension, volume and texture added back to her beautiful natural warm blonde. She gets super light on her own so we added depth and some balayage ribbons for some blended contrast, visual dimension and a lot more layers. Love this perfect bronze blonde!!

Bring on spring! Loving the warm blonde trend as it’s perfect to ride out the last of winter into spring but start the transition to brighter hair and brighter days! Embracing the richness of warmth and dimension allows for slow and steady blonding which is great for healthier hair.

It’s officially Fall temps which reminded me to get to sharing these two beauties who chose to embrace auburns and cinnamon tones earlier this season. I do LOVE rich brunettes and auburn tones to go with all the autumn colors surrounding us. Let’s enjoy the last of Fall as we head into the wild and wonderful holiday season!

This was quite the revamp on Alli! It’s been years since we’ve connected and this busy mama of two decided to come back for a well deserved overhaul of her hair! We cut a few inches to remove what needed to go and blended in her former layers while keeping it long. Then I did a bespoke full foil with a mix of highs and lows to color balance her. Our goal was to blend in her regrowth and new postpartum hairs and give her healthy hair with less need for maintenance. After foiling we root smudged and glossed all over to richen her tone, add back shine and top off the need to soften her former lines. VOILA!! Happy, healthy and blended hair (this was a 4 hour process).

Nothing like a post nuptials chop-chop! Mrs. Mags wanted to drop a few inches, 9 to be exact, and take her style back to the dark side and we did just that! LOVED this fun and textured bob and rich, full of shine deep color. Such a fun transformation!

And just like that… Mane Haven turns 4! I took a little trip down memory lane on my insta archives and wow, that was fun. To think how much has changed in the last few years in and outside the walls of my sweet little salon suite. I’m still overwhelmed with the amount of support I’ve received from my long time clients, new clients, family and friends. Going it on your own (amidst a pandemic to boot) takes courage and a lot of planning to ensure it’s going to be successful. Opening a business teaches you a million things! One being that the learning and evolving never ends and second, that it’s so important to always prioritize taking care of your clients! I hope everyone I have the pleasure of taking care of knows that I’m so thankful for the chance to create beautiful hair for each of you, all while sharing what makes the human experience so intricate. Cheers to 4 years and many more!

This one is ALL ABOUT THE CHOP! My girl has been embracing the greys and it took patience and process to slowly grow out her former all over color and blend in her gorgeous natural sparkles ✨. Next step was going for a cut she’s dreamed of on and off for quite some time (and came with strict parameters 😂), after a thorough consultation we decided it was time! Goodbye to about 7” from the back and hello a GORGEOUS textured lob that literally transformed her natural color and her whole look!! This was a biggie for her/us and I couldn’t be happier we took the leap.

TBH: this is a belated post from almost 2 months ago cause… life? But, she came back for her 7-8 week touch us as shorter hair required a bit more salon maintenance to allow it to be easy everyday, and drum roll…. SHE STILL LOVES IT!
