nothing pairs better with sweater weather than a dimensional brunette. ✧
rich, lived-in + just warm enough for fall.
brunette season, you have my full attention.
✧ there’s no better feeling than being your hair lady
✧ there’s always some song playing in my head

life feels really full lately ✧ in the best way.
I’ve spent a lot of years building a life that gives me space to be a mom, do work I genuinely love, have time for myself + create a space behind the chair that feels personal to me.
and I know I’ve done a lot of work to build that life, but I also know I don’t get to do it without the people who continue to sit in my chair.
some of you have been with me through different salons, different versions of my business + honestly, different versions of me. you’ve watched ALVA grow and change right alongside me.
I don’t think I say it enough, but that means so much to me.
whether you’ve been here for years or you just recently found your way into my chair ✧ thank you for trusting me with your hair, your stories + a little piece of your life.
I really, really love the life I’m building.
and I feel pretty lucky that I get to share a little bit of it with you. ✧

✧ A little reminder to plan your hair appointments alongside your holiday calendar.
November & December are already filling in, and a little planning now means one less thing to think about when the season gets busy.

✧ a little peek before the install.
I always clip everything in first so we can make sure we love the color, placement + fullness before I start installing.
measure twice, sew once.

✧ Holiday booking note
My books open 6 weeks at a time, which means holiday appointments outside of that window are currently available by request.
I also take intentional time away from the suite during the holidays to be with my boys, so my holiday availability is a little more limited and these appointments tend to fill quickly.
Weekend appointments are always by request only + weekend pricing applies.
If you already know you’ll want to see me before Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s, now is the time to reach out. ✧
Nothing better than coming in to open up for a beautiful day ✧

✧ People think I spend my days doing hair.
and technically, that's true.
but over the years I've also celebrated engagements, weddings, promotions, babies, new homes, fresh starts, heartbreaks, career changes, and so many little life moments alongside my guests.
the hair is what brings us together.
the relationships are what keep us connected ✧

✧ There's a difference between being blonde and being thoughtfully blonde.
every placement, every tone, and every detail is working together to create a result that feels seamless, bright, and beautifully balanced ✧
