Beach Brunette in the fall 🌞
Same hair - different lighting


•Lifted using 20g paint powder + 20g pink keratin powder mixed together
•Shadowed with O&M liquid = parts 5.0 & 4.1
•Toned with O&M liquid 10g 6.0 + 20g 6.71 + 10g 7.1

In case anyone wondered- I foiled the front using fine teasy lights and my braggin bows foils by & 🎀💝
AND I hand painted and wrapped the back of her head to add variation in lightness from front to back. 10/10 would recommend if you’re a slow foiler and are working on brunettes!

Just here to say that in two weeks I get to be my own boss again!!! It has been so amazing working at the collective, as I was able to be surrounded by some really talented and extremely kind, kick ass hairstylists. But 2024 has brought on a ton of life changes and I am ready to venture out on my own to better suit this phase of my life. In two weeks, I will be moving to booth rental at the most beautiful, lovely space ever- located in forest park. Dreamboat salon has always been on my radar and this opportunity really fell into my lap. I will now get to use CLEAN professional products and hair color, which has been something I’ve really wanted to use for a long long time. The space is small, full of natural light and every nook and cranny of it is filled with intentional detail. I am absolutely so over the moon to share this with yall! In a few days I will be launching my booking site and professional website where everyone will be able to easily make appointments. Show ya gal some love by telling your friends and family🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

It's time to vote for The Collective as best salon in bham & your favorite stylist as the best stylist / colorist! Link in bio & our story ✨ We appreciate all of you SO much!

And on Wednesday’s, we do hair transformations🧚‍♀️


I did a reverse balayage and lowlight technique, using Topchic 20ml 6KG+ 20ml 6RB & 10vol. I melted our custom red formula into 9RB by shades eq which gave us a soft strawberry blonde when melded together🍓


Styled out with perfect texture spray to give us those fluffy waves and finished off with their soft wave and shine spray

Had the honor of getting to do my cousins bridal hair, along with all of her bridesmaids hair as well💕Rach, I love you sm and I am so happy I got to be apart of your day! You are an absolute sight to be seen👑

Thankyou for letting me do what I do best!

Just realized I haven’t posted since September so here’s a really fun ombré that I got to do right after the holidays🧜🏻‍♀️ Between the holidays, getting sick, moving and the salon being incredibly busy, it’s been difficult to keep up with posting here. Definitely going to make it a point to keep up with my insta a little better this year!

This color required a full head of foils, a root melt, toner and then followed by adding aqua to the ends- creating a perfectly blended ombré (we don’t do 2012 straight, orange line ombrés anymore folks)

The perfect blend🧚🏻

I hate when I forget to take before photos because this transformation was a huge one! My client came in with grown out traditional highlights, a black hole in the back section of her hair and a good amount of dryness and breakage.

I ended up choosing to bricklay teasy lights all throughout the hair with half inch sections in between foils. After processing, I put a root tap shade at the base of her hair and reverse balayaged with that same root shade to create added depth. We toned, did a keratin treatment, trimmed two inches and ended up with healthier hair and a more cohesive color for easier grow out and maintenance✨✨✨

Lightened and treated with:
Root: shades 6NB
Tone: shades eq 30g 8v + 10g 9N

The perfect fall hair color🍂

The end goal was to have an extremely natural copper color with added dimension. Not too orange but not too neutral either! I took thicker diagonal back sections and surface-painted balayage to create a very natural sun kissed look after applying her root color. Everything processed together for only about 30 minutes!


Roots: inoa + 10 vol
Toner: shades eq 9AA+9GI+splash of 9N
