The Busy Break

Just showing my face to let you that my social media posting has been quiet lately, but I'm still here!
Been going nonstop for a good chunk of the year and sometimes that means my social media takes a backseat to everything else because in today's world, balancing it all can be a fulltime job and commitment on its own, so choice have to be made. Yes, I do believe that in this industry, social media is a HUGE part and a tool that goes hand in hand with my career, but I also believe that my real life day to day life is what matters most. That means, working long hours behind the chair, connecting with my clients, working behind the scenes on Matrix things and actually enjoying time off with friends, family and my doggos. We don't get much of summer months so this is usually my posting break for a bit until everyone goes back to school, back to the regular day to day crazy early morning traffic and normalcy. I also love that I'm at a point of my career that 23 yr old Francine always dreamed of, so as exhausted as I can get, I'm also so happy that this is my life that I'm living.
So enjoy your summer months and I'll return to flooding your feeds in a little bit; but don't worry, my stories will still be active with a mix of hair, funny memes, dog pictures and so much food pictures 😉

Updates!

Just some little updates for all my lovelies who come see me at the salon. Most of this was super overdue, so please feel free to message me if you have any questions or comments.

And thank you all for all the continued support over the past 18 yrs; makes coming to work every day even better 💛

Speechless

Trying to wrap my head around this; getting an email to say that I've been nominated for
Salon Magazine's Contessa Master Colorist Of The Year is just .... Wow!
To whoever nominated me for this opportunity, thank you immensely (and I will apologize to my husband on your behalf for me not getting any sleep for the next foreseeable future).

This is a career dream and I am forever grateful for this recognition.

French Blend

After years of global blonding and fashion color, we pivoted in a new direction and decided to start letting this client's stunning natural grey hair become her main focus. And with the big trend of French Grey Blending making its rounds, this was the perfect time to bring it to life for this client who had a 7 month regrowth.
So instead of always covering those natural sparkles, maybe it's time to let them shine!





Formula

Highlights & Babylights
- Matrix High Riser // 10vol, building up to 20vol
Lowlights
- SuperSync Extra 5NN & SuperSync 6G

( Pro tip: when doing this service, it's best to foul every single section and lowlight every 2nd-3rd tip out to create a low maintenance look and a softer grow out. Make sure you also follow the pattern of the salt & pepper growth to make you end result look natural and blended)

Busy

After being on the go with full salon days and Matrix work/traveling for the past 4 weeks, this is how I spent most of my breaks.
In the wise words of , "You once prayed for dis life", I am truly grateful for having the career I have and how busy it has been keeping me. I love working behind the chair and getting all these work opportunities with
, but your girl is now oh so very tired and will be going into hiding thia holiday weekend.
I will be taking a very needed 3 days off with no work or Matrix prep at all and will be filling it with many naps, walks with the potatoes and lots of good food! If you message me about any salon related questions, respectfully you will be ignored until Tuesday !

Enjoy the long weekend everyone 💛

Break Up With Your Blonde

When you have very fine hair, you have an addiction to being blonde & your love of top knots isn't giving your hair its full potential, it might be time to change it all up and give your hair (and that lightener & elastic) a much needed break! Your hair, and your hairstylist, will thank you.
