Posting this balayage I did before maternity leave because my page has been quiet for the past few months 🙂

Life Update: Baby Dominic is here and he is big, healthy and strong 🤍

I will be back at the salon in a few weeks with a limited schedule. If you would like to get on my schedule for March please send me a DM with your info and the service that you need. Life with a newborn can be unpredictable so please keep that in mind when requesting an appointment 🙏🏼

I’m excited to get back behind the chair and see all my lovely clients again 🤍

monday makeover | root melt + low lights + balayage & a much needed trim ✂️
A service like this should last at least 4-6 months with proper at home care ( professional shampoo + conditioner) as well as weekly deep conditioning treatments and lukewarm water temperature 🌡💦

Bronde for Fall 🤎🍂🍁

Many of you know already but baby sousa will be here soon! 🤍🐣 So thankful for all of my amazing clients that have been so supportive and patient with me throughout this pregnancy. My books are officially closed for online booking untill I return from maternity leave (return date pending) I will make an announcement when I decide on my return date but most likely late feb/early march of next year. If you have an appointment between now and my last day please know that my hours are very limited so I may not be able to reschedule appointments but I will try the best I can to do what I can do if needed. For everyone else I can’t wait to see you all again when I return 🤍

P.S. I may be able to take some last minute haircut/ root touch up appointments if I happen to get any cancellations. If you need an appointment before I leave please dm me and I can place you on my waitlist 📲

Unpopular Opinion: color corrections are kinda cool.

Hear me out, they aren’t for the double booked or booked solid every day all day stylist. They are time consuming and require your full undivided attention. They are not to be rushed or on a time limit & your thinking cap needs to be ON.

I typically do not offer this kind of service unless I am certain that I have the knowledge to properly formulate for my guest ( depending on the current state of hair) have enough time on my book or simply have all the colors I need to achieve the end result.

There are times where I do not have the time, resources or even mental capacity for a color correction and unfortunately have had to turn a guest away. It is important to tell your stylist before hand if this is the type of appointment you need vs a regular blonding appointment.

BUT when the stars align and I create a masterpiece, I sleep good at night. Having the ability to fix someone’s hair can change their life and that is why I love doing what I do 🤍

Happy Wednesday 🙂

Chestnut balayage to enhance her beautiful base color 🍂

✨A few tips for my brunette babes✨

•Using cool water 🚿 will help to keep your toner fresh and your hair healthy and shiny. Hot water strips away color faster as well as strips your hair of it’s natural oils ❌

•A blue based shampoo or conditioner keeps your tone natural as well as muting too much warmth as time goes by. Aim for 1x a week. My favorite blue based product is Brass off by Matrix.

•Deep condition once a week to help lock in that toner for as long as possible. Your hair will thank you 🙂

🗓Booking Updates:

My books are now closed untill the end of the december but I am able to take a few more haircuts only. Please DM me for a haircut appointment as my online booking will not show an opening.

I am currently not taking new color clients unless referred by another existing client ( case by case only) , or you have had an appointment with me in last year. Please DM me if you would like to be placed on my waitlist 🤍

Hey Everyone 👋

It’s been a while since i’ve been on the gram, I have been so wrapped up in wedding planning and getting ready for the big day! Wedding week has finally arrived and I wanted to let you all know that I will be out of the studio for the next two weeks, and will be returning messages and requests when I return.

To all of my clients that have shown me so much support, patience, love, given precious gifts, cards and champagne- i love you all so much. Next time you see me I will be married woman! 🤍💍

✨Full Babylight using blondorplex (my new recent fave!) To keep her blonde bright I left out the toner and washed her with purple shampoo for 5 minutes at the bowl✨

•Fresh balayage, melt and toner•

✨To keep brunette balayage fresh I recommend coming in once every 1-2 months for a toner/gloss and using brass off mask at home 1x a week. This helps to keep your balayage fresh and neutral. Also keep that water temp down and always do a cool rinse, your hair will thank you✨

It’s been a while hair fam. Your girl is steady wedding planning, running a business and trying to stay sane. Anywho here’s a picture of my beautiful client’s hair 🤍

Full balayage refresh and a healthy trim ✨

If you didn’t know, the summer solstice is this sunday 🌞 This is the perfect time for us to find the nourishment needed to evolve and grow 🌱To reconnect with ourselves and honor the journey that we are on. Summer also reminds us that there is hope in the world, and that we all have a light inside of us. We can use that light to help nuture others as the sun nutures us🌞🤍

This is also a great time get a good haircut, refresh your hair color, get a nice hydrating facial, mani/pedi , or any self care in general 💅🏽

That is all for today, xoxo 🤍

Also s/o to this babe .m.peterson ! It’s always a sad moment when your client tells you they are moving to a new state 😢Kayla has been coming to see me for 5 years, 1 salon and 2 hair suites later (she rocks) 🤍 I will miss working on those gorgeous locks! I hope you enjoy all the sunshine and waves 🌞🌊

Oh, Honey 🤩 Balayage refresh for my babe

After taking some time off and going away on a mini vacay, I realized I have not been posting very much, but I have a confession to make. Running a business, working behind the chair full time, planning a wedding and being a Mama at the same time is —> stressful

Lived in highlights 🌱 and also... Happy Graduation ! 🎓I have been doing Jen’s hair since highschool and have seen her grow into such a smart, incredible woman. It makes my heart happy to see my clients blossom and achieve their goals.
I wish you all the joy and success!🥂🤍

Hey Everyone! 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to some new followers and say hello to my IG fam. My name is Lindsay and I own a small studio suite named HairbyLindsay in Ashburn, Virginia. I have been an independent stylist for 3 years now and this August I will have reached 𝟙𝟘 years working behind the chair! 🥂 I started cosmetology school when I was 16 and began working behind the chair as soon as I graduated highschool. Becoming a hairstylist completely changed my life and allowed me to achieve goals that I never thought I could do. To my clients that have been following me since the beginning, know that I love you so much and I wouldn’t be where I am today without you 🤍

✨Here are some more things about me ✨

•I am a mama to the most wonderful son in the world, Anthony ❤️ and the most adorable fur baby Max 🐾
•I am engaged to the man of my dreams, Joe 💍
•I’m an Aquarius ♒️ so nothing you will ever say will be wierd to me ( and I love to talk about a lot of wierd stuff 🤣)
•I tend to overshare and have an open mind, my chair will ALWAYS be a safe space for you.
•I’m Italian 🇮🇹 so that means I laugh a little bit too loud & best believe I’ll share some bomb recipes with you. I can make a mean lasagna 👩🏻‍🍳
•On my days off I love to hike, go to wineries and spend time with my family
•My favorite thing to do behind the chair is to create seamless balayage blends and volumous blowouts. I also love cutting and coloring as well.

The best feeling in the world is making people feel fresh and beautiful and I am so blessed that I get to do that every day 🤍

Tips for Blonde Babes⬇️

✨Don’t overuse purple shampoo! Use every 2 or 3 washes and always use a deep conditioner that day. Overuse of purple shampoo can mute the brightness of your blonde & can be very drying. I suggest using Purple Toning Masks which allow you to tone and condition at the same time. My favorite is Pravana ‘The Perfect Blonde’ toning mask.

✨Clarify your hair at least 1x a month. This helps with product and environmental build up, and keeps your blonde bright and healthy.

✨ALWAYS use a heat protectant on your hair when heat styling. Your hair has been processed with bleach and is very fragile for the first couple of weeks. Heat protectants add a barrier between your styling tool and your hair, reducing heat damage as well as helping your toner from fading.

Xoxo 🤍
