🤯😭🤯😭🤯 OK I AM LITERALLY SO SPEECHLESS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT REAL LIFE!!!!!!!! FOUR TOP 100 NOMINATIONS!!!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

As some of you may know, as much as I'm obsessed with color, in school I understood cuts first! The geometry, angles, and getting to see an immediate result just spoke to me. Some of my favorite appointments are my "fix-its" or "cut anxious" clients. These are some of the most challenging to accomplish because what you keep is just as important if not more so, AND you're having to figure out how to get to your final destination with missing pieces.
Cuts are also that make color pop and vice versa!!!! Without a solid foundation everything falls flat.
Thank you so much and for recognizing my passion for this industry

I am BESIDE myself!!!!! Out of 6,457 🤍platinum🤍 entries and I snag another nomination!!!! First year entering and I am blessed with THREE TOP 100 NOMINATIONS!!!!! 😭😭😭 I can't even begin to say how fortunate I am to have the amazing clients that I have, a salon home and family that fully support my brand of crazy, and my love who inspired me to follow my passion and pour my heart into something I love!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!

😭😭😭 when I tell you I cried, I CRRRIIIEEEDDDDDDD when I saw the announcement!!!!! Blondes is one of the highest (if not THE highest) entered categories with 25,429 👏IN👏TER👏NA👏TION👏AL👏 entries with the world's best colorists and blonde specialists putting out their best work. These are stylists I've followed since I graduated beauty school in 2016, stylists I followed because of this competition and the work they enter, stylists I've admired and learned from for years, and my work stands among them 🥺🥺🥺 The burnout has been hitting hard this year and being nominated for top 100 in TWO categories has been really validating and further proof that I am exactly where I'm meant to be.
💜Thank you to EVERYONE who's supported me from day one, to my like minded crazies that want all the things and then some the way I do, that trust and know I'm going to do my best to achieve the goal and are patient with me throughout the whole process 💜
💚Thank you to my salon family that are nothing but supportive of my crazy and who've encouraged me to find my own style and flow. 💚
💗Thank you my love for seeing my passion for this industry from day one, being there when I had a long day or a rough week, and for being understanding of the late nights even when it means we get less time together💗
💙Thank you and for seeing something special in me and my work💙

YOU GUYS!!!!!! 😭🥺😭🥺😭 I can't even begin to articulate everything I'm feeling!!!!! Out of 18,784 international entries I have the honor of standing amongst 99 AMAZINGLY TALENTED ARTISTS!!!!! Even as the imposter syndrome pushes in, even as the doubts plague my thoughts, I have this HUGE accomplishment to remind me that I'm exactly where I need to be!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of my clients for always honoring me with their trust in their hair dreams

2000s who?! Chunky Highlights but make it modern ^_-

When my client asked for chunky highlights my face looked like -> 🙂 but I felt like -> 😱🤢☠ Then I took a breath and went to work! It was a VERY trust the process moment for me but when we dried it?!?! 👏I👏WAS👏SHOOK👏 I LOVED THE OUTCOME!!!! And the best part was my client did to 🤩🤩🤩

🌅Neon Sunset🌅

When your colors are so bright you're camera doesn't pick them all up 🥲😅🥲😅🥲 Despite wanting to hurl my phone at the wall for not capturing how STUNNING this color was in person, I'm still obsessed!!!

🔥Red Hot Red Head🔥

*Back View*

When I tell you I died I mean I DIIIEEEDDD when we created this super fiery color for 😍😍😍 We've done variations of coppery goodness for a while now, but I wanted to breathe some life back into her already beautiful hair by turning up the vibrancy, adding in lowlights for dimension, and some balayaged pieces to catch the light and add some shimmer!!! Thank you my lovely for trusting me all this time and being the perfect canvas for my crazy idea lol

❄Winter Blonde❄

One of my favorite heads of hair!!! Thank you .l.z for always trusting me with your beautiful hair!!! Getting this gorgeous girl this light was a labor of love that took eons to do, gallons is lightener, and miles of foils lol 😅😅😅

But really, not everyone can achieve these results in one, two, or even three appointments. Sometimes this lightness can't ever be achieved before the hair becomes too compromised and delicate. The at home care is just as important is not more so. I can do everything I can to minimize the damage, but at the end of the day YOU care for your hair 24/7/365. Blonde is a LIFESTYLE!!!

🔥Fire Below the Surface🔥

I love love LOVE me some undercolor 😍😍😍 perfect for when you want something impactful yet versatile!!! And the firey tones work soooo well with the warm chocolate brown on top!!! Thank you for being there since day one even through all the "learning curves" I put you through 😅😅😅

💫Blonde Bombshell💫

Two sessions and 12hrs later and ALLLLLLL the foils and we achieved this beautiful beigey blonde!!!

Blonde takes alot to achieve and even more to maintain; it's a 💫LIFESTYLE💫 and a high maintenance one at that! I do all I can bring the chair to protect your hair, but once you leave it's on you to take care of it! This means minimal shampooing, using good products, very little heat styling, and coming in for regular toners and treatments!!!

If you're up for it, DM me and let's talk ^_-
