When you are cool 😎 aunt Des and you get to take your littles to Hinterland Music Festival because they also have a cool mom Payten Knowles who joined us! They love music like me 🎶 and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The arts 🎭 is where it’s at folks!!!

I don’t think the people who “make it” are built differently.

I think they just keep showing up after the excitement wears off.

The gym gets boring.
Building a business gets hard.
Healthy hair doesn’t happen overnight.
Relationships take work.
Life throws curveballs.

None of that means you’re on the wrong path.

Most of the things I’m proudest of didn’t happen because I was motivated every day. They happened because I decided quitting wasn’t an option.

Keep showing up.

Even when it’s boring.
Even when it’s slow.
Especially then.

Summer and pool days don’t have to mean dry, crunchy hair.

A few small changes before and after you swim can make a huge difference. Your future hair will thank you.

Save this for your next pool day.

I’m curious… how long have you been following me?

Maybe you’ve been here for a while. Maybe you’ve watched my reels, liked a few posts, laughed at my stories, or saved a hair post thinking, “I really need to book with her someday.”

And then… life happens.

Or maybe you’re thinking I’m impossible to get into, or it feels a little intimidating to try someone new. Trust me, I get it.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign… this is it.

How is it August Already? Style by Desiree August Newsletter 08/05/2026

August Newsletter

I can't believe we're already talking about fall. It feels like summer just started, but here we are!

I wanted to send you this month's newsletter because it's a little more personal than usual. I'm sharing what I've been up to this summer, from concerts and pool days to time with my family, and a few things I've been loving behind the chair.

Inside you'll also find:
• My two favorite hairsprays for summer and fall (and why I use them so much)
• A little motivation as we head into a new season
• Fall fashion inspiration
• Plus a few updates from the salon

I always hope these newsletters feel like we're catching up over coffee, so I hope you enjoy this month's edition.

Thank you for supporting my small business, trusting me with your hair, and following along on this crazy journey. It truly means more than you know.

Happy reading!

❤️ Desiree

The way I convinced myself I needed B-roll for my future Netflix documentary…

But honestly… it got me thinking.

We’re always waiting for the “big” moments.

The next goal.
The next trip.
The next chapter.

Meanwhile, life is happening right now.

The ordinary days are the story.

So here’s your reminder (and mine): stop waiting for your life to feel worth celebrating.

Now if you’ll excuse me… I have a documentary to prepare for.

Can I save your fall hair before the crunchy ends show up? 😅

Every year around this time I start hearing:
“My hair just feels… off.”

Most of the time it’s not your hair. It’s that your routine never changed with the season.

My fall checklist:
• A deep conditioner once a week.
• Less heat when you can.
• Protect it from the wind (yes, hats actually help).
• Drink your water.

Little things done consistently will always beat expensive products that sit under your sink.
