Ally Richard at flAir Style Lounge

…and then there were three🩷

MISS Tatum Turner Richard joined our family on October 20, 2025 at 3:09 pm. Her big brothers are so in love with all 6lbs 4oz and 18.5” of her. She is our perfect little cherry on top to make our family complete. God is so good.

This Easter, we have a little extra joy to share…
Among the egg hunts, chocolate bunnies, and spring blooms, our family is celebrating a new chapter as a family of 5! Baby Richard #3 is on the way, joining our family October 2025.

Wilder and Bowen are proudly stepping into their biggest roles yet — as Biggest Brother and Middle Child (He’ll come around, we just at know it 😅)!
Our hearts are so full knowing they’ll have another best friend to grow up with, protect, and love endlessly.

This season of renewal feels especially meaningful as God has entrusted us with another precious life. We feel beyond blessed and can’t wait to meet the little one who will make our chaos even sweeter and complete our family. Thank you for sharing in our joy this Easter — the best is yet to come!

The last week has been a heavily emotional week. Not for me personally, but for many of my clients. Over half of the women in my chair in the last week have been walking through a season of grief and despair. From losing a beloved pet, the passing of a lifelong friend, to making the decision to cut all of her hair in anticipation of chemo treatments after a cancer diagnosis, and lots more in between.

As we enter the holiday season, I wanted to take a pause to let you all know that I am here for you, and I am thankful for you. Any of these women could have chosen to cancel their appointments and deal with their own grief with those closer to them. I am humbled that they still chose to show up and be vulnerable with me. Please know that the time we spend together is valued. I pray for you all. I think of you all. I truly enjoy being a part of your lives. If you ever need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
XOXO - Ally

Y’all 😭 This little Airstream salon in Austin won a pretty big award last night! This salon has been such a special place to share time with clients and do what I love. This recognition from Behind the Chair and some of the best in our industry means so much, but not nearly as much as all of the support you’ve all shown us! Erica, our crazy little idea has come a long way from the beat up old trailer we drove to Houston to pick up in the middle of the night. And Trent (aka Husband of the decade)… this would still be a beat up old trailer if it weren’t for the countless number of hours you put into and continue to put into making this salon something I am so so proud of. I love you so much ❤️

PLEASE VOTE!!! Big news everyone!! flAir Style Lounge has landed in the TOP 25 for salon suite decor in a really big competition. VOTING ENDS TONIGHT!! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HOTSHOTVOTING2021

EDIT: **If you vote, there are lots of categories. Scroll WAY down to Salon Suite Decor. flAir Style Lounge is #10. You don’t have to go through every category**
I am beyond grateful to be a finalist in such a large competition that includes so many fellow artists that I admire and look up to. It feels so amazing to share this little salon home with the world and have someone else recognize how special it is too. PLEASE VOTE!!

I’ve thought long and hard about this decision, but in the end I am doing what is best for my family and friends that I want to continue to see on a regular basis. Masks will once again be required for all services at flAir Style Lounge.
We are in a very small space, and we are very close to each other during services. This new variant has hit close to home with a very close (vaccinated) family member being hospitalized. While I may not get sick myself, I do not want to pass on this brutal virus to anyone who may be at higher risk.
Thank you so much for understanding, and please continue to do what you fee is best to keep you and yours safe. 😘

Can’t wait to see your smiling faces again! While I know we are all ready to ditch the masks, I’m going to give it another few weeks for everyone to catch up. Please continue to wear your masks for just a little longer. I want to make sure that everyone that enters the salon had a chance to be fully vaccinated if they want to and to feel safe coming into a clean environment until they can. SO SOON! Plus I’ve got some exciting news about blowouts and online booking coming up soon too!

33 weeks today and still able to take 4 color clients in a workday. Thanks for playing nice baby boy so Mama can still do what she loves 🥰.

After taking into serious consideration the guidelines from our city, county, and state, as well as the nation’s leading health officials and salon leaders, WE WILL BEGIN SERVICES ON JUNE 2, 2020 BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. There will be new procedures, precautions, and policies put into place for the safety of our clients, stylists, and families. PLEASE SWIPE THROUGH THE POST TO READ ALL GUIDELINES FROM THIS POINT FORWARD.
As always, email us at [email protected] with any questions that you have.

I’m sure you have all heard the news by now. Governor Abbot announced yesterday that Texas salons are allowed to reopen on Friday, May 8.
While we miss you all very much, after much discussion (over the last several weeks) we will not be opening back up just yet. For the health and safety of everyone involved, there are still supplies that we are waiting on and preparation that needs to take place in order for us to open back up.
We will announce very soon what day we plan to reopen, what new precautions will be put in place, and what the scheduling process will look like. Clients who had appointments booked in March and April will take priority when beginning the booking process. Those of you who have reached out in the last couple months are on our list and will be next in line. If you are wanting an appointment in the next couple of months, please contact your stylist or email us at [email protected] to be added to the wait list. We will be in touch as soon as we begin the scheduling process.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding through these uncharted waters.

Yesterday my sidekick and I delivered products to lots of my wonderful clients. Porch drop offs only...

As I got back into my car and removed my gloves after the first drop off, something unexpected happened. I started tearing up. The whole process was pretty emotional for me. It was so surreal to see some of your faces through the window, or see you in your yard from more than 6 ft. away, or not even see you at all. You couldn’t see the smile on my face behind that mask because I was so happy to see you. It was so hard to not be able to hug you and catch up for an hour on life and your families.

Instead of letting my emotions and tears put me into a dark place, I prayed for you. I prayed for each house that I visited, and I prayed for every one of you by name while I was driving from destination to destination. I miss you. I miss my job that I love so much. I can’t wait to see you all again and spend time with you.

Please stay safe and healthy so that happens way sooner than later. And let me know if you are in need of any products or have any questions on how to get your hair through this. 😘
