Sara Botsford The Salon

She wanted jet black, I gave her blonde ….

this client is one of my OG’s. She always keeps me in my toes and asks for something different every single time. Sometimes I’m up for the challenge and other times I talk her off the ledge. this time I was here for it!

What do you think of her results?!

Also have to say, the ALK Base shift was so beautiful, and just enough to soften the contrast

Wavy hair refresh routine for second-day curls 👇

If you’re searching for how to refresh curly hair without washing it every day, this is my exact routine between wash days. I don’t start from scratch, instead I revive my curls with a quick sink refresh, Redken styling products, and an air dry.

First I detangle and remove any mats, then I dunk the ends in water, add product, scrunch, and let the curls reset naturally. It’s simple, fast, and saves your wash day for when you actually need it.

Save this for your curly hair routine and wash day reset days 💛

French layers + AirLight Pro = the effortless, bouncy blowout everyone wants. 🇫🇷✨

The secret isn’t just the haircut…it’s pairing soft, face-framing French layers with the right drying technique to enhance movement, volume, and shine. The AirLight Pro leaves the hair smooth, shiny, and full of life without sacrificing body.

Would you try French layers? Save this for your next salon appointment.

Let’s go behind the scenes to see the making of SYMPOSIUM.

This team is beyond dedicated to delivering impactful education and show stopping hair!! We work hard and play hard!

There are moments in your career that remind you exactly why you fell in love with this industry in the first place.

This weekend was one of them.

To every stylist who attended, sat in the audience, stopped me in the hallway, shared a story, asked a question, or simply took the time to connect…THANK YOU. In a world with endless ways to learn, the fact that you chose to spend your weekend with the fam and watched my class is something I never take for granted.

What people see on stage is only a small part of the story. Behind every class, every presentation, and every moment under the lights is an incredible team of people making it all possible.

To .villarreal.redken thank you for being the calm in the chaos, the problem-solver, the organizer, the support system, and the person making sure all the moving pieces somehow come together. I am endlessly grateful for you.

To the wardrobe and makeup teams—thank you for helping me out last minute and always having the models looking confident and polished.

And to my fellow Redken artists and educators…what a privilege it is to stand alongside people who are so talented, generous, innovative, and passionate about elevating our industry. Every time we’re together, I leave inspired, challenged, and excited to keep growing. Literally already thinking about what I can bring to SYMPOSIUM 2028!!

My heart is full, my voice is almost gone, and my camera roll is overflowing.

Thank you for an unforgettable weekend. 🖤🖤🫶🏼🫶🏼
