Shelby Ayres, Stylist & Educator

After a long weekend away, I figured I’d come back and immediately make your feed a little louder. Custom split dye + a color blocked money piece because subtle has never really been my strongest personality trait.

This is the kind of hair that makes my creative little hairstylist brain VERY happy. Give me the weird color idea. Give me the placement you’ve been scared to ask for. Let’s make some cool s**t.

✌🏼 Out of the salon for the long weekend!

Taking a few days to unplug, recharge & enjoy some time away. I’ll be back behind the chair Tuesday and will respond to any messages then!

Hope you have the best weekend!

Somewhere over the rainbow, there’s a stylist mixing 7 bowls of color..

Oh, wait. Those shoes.. that’s me 🤘🤣

A facial should be more than just skincare, it should be an experience. And with myself & Georgia, there’s truly never a dull one. 😂💆🏼‍♀️

Come relax, laugh a little, and leave with your skin feeling GOOD.

Turns out, sometimes you really do need to cut off 10 inches and see what happens. 😉

We made it to the “BER” months 🍂

Give me the coppers. The cinnamon. The chocolatey brunettes. The warm dimensional blondes. The “I want fall hair but don’t make me dark” transformations.

When the salon playlist is on one today 🩷

Plot twist: I wasn’t quiet because I wasn’t working. I was quiet because I was working A LOT.

And somewhere between the clients, the color bowls, the salon-owner stuff, the educating, the med spa, the content, the messages, the planning, the fixing, the helping, the “what would you do?” questions… I realized I was starting to look a whole lot like Pinky. 💀🩷

So I’m doing something that feels a little wild for someone who has spent most of her life believing you just work harder.

As of August 29th, I’ve shut off online booking for the remainder of 2026.

That does NOT mean I’m disappearing behind the chair. I’m still Hair for You. 😉 I’m still taking care of the guests already on my books, and cancellations may pop up here and there.

But I’m done trying to squeeze one more person into a schedule that is already full.

And come 2027? Things are going to look a little different.

Not because I love this career any less.
Actually, probably because I want to keep loving it.

I’ve spent a lot of years building a career I’m proud of. Now I’m learning that success doesn’t always mean figuring out how to fit more in.

Sometimes it means finally knowing when you have enough.

January 3rd, online booking will reopen.

Until then… Pinky and I are gonna work on having some boundaries. 😂💀🩷
