Minted Beauty NC

After recently cutting off her locs, she came in ready to begin a completely new chapter with her hair.

During her consultation, we discussed her inspiration, the thickness of her natural hair and what she can expect once her hair is relaxed. Although it looks very short in its natural state, relaxing it will reveal more of the length she already has and give us a foundation for her pixie cut.

We also talked about something that deserves its own conversation: being committed to the hairstyle you choose and allowing time for you and your new stylist to learn each other. More on that topic soon.

From consultation to the final reveal.

She came in ready for a change, and her smoothing system gave her a smoother, more manageable finish without taking away the movement and body in her hair.

Every service starts with understanding the client’s hair, routine, and goals. The finished result speaks for itself.

What you use on your hair between salon visits can have a bigger impact than you might think.

In this consultation, I explain why it took seven shampoos to remove the buildup before we could begin the smoothing service. This isn’t about saying one product is better or worse than another, it’s about understanding how product buildup can affect the way a professional treatment performs.

Every head of hair is different, so if you’re preparing for a service, ask your stylist which products will help you get the best results.

Sometimes the process is just as satisfying as the final result.

Freshly shampooed hair, a clean cut, and the finishing touch she really wanted… soft, bouncy curls. Watching the shape come together from start to finish is always my favorite part.

If you’re ready for a fresh look, I’d love to have you in my chair.

Here’s the finished look from the consultation I shared earlier.

One of the things I love most about my ChemicalFree Smoothing Treatment is that it gives you options. You can enjoy smooth, sleek hair now while knowing your natural texture will return when you’re ready.

To celebrate the Fourth of July, I’m offering 20% OFF my Chemical-Free Smoothing Treatment for appointments on June 30–July 3rd

If you’ve been thinking about trying it, now is the perfect time to book.

One of the things I love about this smoothing treatment is that it gives my clients another option.

It’s formaldehyde-free, keratin-free, and chemical-free, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a temporary smoothing service. When you’re ready for your natural texture again, your hair simply reverts.

Today I’m sharing the consultation. The finished results are coming next, so be sure to check back for the reveal.

I took a trip down memory lane and pulled out a few styles from the archives.

It’s always fun looking back and seeing how many beautiful looks have come through my chair.

The reveal is finally here.

A sleek short cut, a soft bang, and a finished look that fits her beautifully.

I added a few tracks in the front to create the shape and softness she was looking for, and the result speaks for itself.

If you missed her consultation, take a look at the previous post and then come back to see how it all came together.

She’s been natural since 2015, but that doesn’t mean she has to stay there.

Hair is personal, and what worked for you years ago may not be what you want today. Whether you’re transitioning to natural hair, going back to a relaxer, or trying a completely new look, you have the freedom to choose what makes you feel your best.

Consultation day is where it all starts. I reviewed her inspiration, discussed her goals, and mapped out her next look. Now it’s time to make it happen.

Come back in a couple of days to see the finished style.
