Things that will wreck your blonde hair 👀
Blonde hair is beautiful but it’s also more vulnerable to dryness, dullness, staining and breakage. Here are five things that can sabotage your blonde between appointments:

🔥 Tools that are too hot
Excessive heat can weaken already-lightened hair, cause breakage and make your toner fade faster. Turn the temperature down and always use heat protection.

🚿 Hard water
Mineral buildup can leave blonde hair looking dull, brassy, muddy or even slightly orange. A shower filter and occasional clarifying or chelating treatment can make a huge difference.

💜 Overusing purple shampoo
More purple does not equal more blonde. Using it too often can make the hair look dark, flat, dry or slightly gray-purple. Purple shampoo is a maintenance product not your everyday shampoo.

🟡 Hair oils that aren’t clear
Some oils have a strong yellow or amber tint. With repeated use, that pigment can build up on very light blonde hair, leaving it looking dull, warm or slightly stained. For the brightest blonde, I prefer clear or nearly clear oils.

🧬 Too much protein
Protein can help damaged hair but overdoing it may leave the hair stiff, rough, tangled and more prone to snapping. Blonde hair needs a balance of strength and moisture.

Save this before your next wash day and send it to your blonde friend who treats purple shampoo like a personality trait. 💀💜

I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't give up.
Not hair related, but it hit me today going through old photos and seeing how far I've come.
I'm beyond grateful for everyone that has believed in me. ❤️

She came to me after coloring her hair at home. Over time, the color kept getting warmer and warmer until it no longer looked like the vision she had for her hair.

My goal was to correct the unwanted warmth, create balance, and give her a color that looked soft, natural, and seamless while respecting the integrity of her hair.

Color correction is one of my favorite services because no two are ever the same. Every head of hair has a different history, and there isn't a magic formula that fixes everything. It takes experience, a plan, and knowing how to work with the hair instead of against it.

If you've been struggling with unwanted warmth, banding, uneven color, or years of previous color, don't assume you're stuck with it. More often than not, there's a solution.

If you're looking for a stylist who loves a challenge and specializes in corrective color, I'd love to help. Fill out my new client form through the link in my bio.

She came to me after a previous color service from another salon left her with uneven warmth, dark banding, and a result that wasn't what she had hoped for.

Color correction isn't about throwing more color on top and hoping for the best. It's about understanding what happened, creating a plan, and working carefully to preserve the integrity of the hair.

For this correction, I strategically placed foils, refined the depth, brightened where needed, and protected her hair throughout the process with K18.

The result? A seamless, dimensional blonde that looks natural, feels healthy, and gives us a solid foundation for future appointments.

Not every color service goes as planned, and that's okay. If you've had a color experience that left you feeling disappointed, know that there are often solutions.

If your hair has gotten thinner with age, stress, hormones, or postpartum changes... I want you to know you're not imagining it.

I hear it every day:

"My hair won't hold a curl."

"I can't get any volume anymore."

"My ponytail keeps getting smaller."

This client didn't need multiple rows of extensions.
She only needed ONE row to restore the fullness she was missing.

The right extension plan isn't about adding the most hair, it's about adding the right amount of hair in the right place.

The result? Fuller-looking hair, more volume, styles that last longer, and hair that looks effortlessly beautiful from every angle.

Sometimes, one row is all it takes to completely change how you feel about your hair.
