Hair by Wendy Walker
Being a Cosmetologist is about passion, art, and a love for make others feel and look their best.
Imagine hacking a hairstylist’s phone thinking you found secrets… and it’s just hair before & afters, coffee, and screenshots of formulas 😂
2 levels darker + a whole lot richer ✨
The shine. The depth. The way milk_shake the gloss melts into the hair without feeling heavy or flat…every. single. time. 🤎
This is your reminder that darker doesn’t mean dull.
Healthy, reflective brunette tones will always have my heart.
Formula magic + healthy hair = THAT girl energy
Life’s been busy, and I’ve really missed sharing my work and connecting on here 🤍
I created this blonde last week and had to share it…because every photo you’re seeing was taken in just two spots. The only thing I changed? Her position….and once, I clipped on a little extra light.
Same hair. Different light. Completely different feel.
It’s such a good reminder…hair (not just blonde) is going to shift in every space you’re in. And for my super icy girls—this is your gentle nudge…a little warmth isn’t a bad thing. The sun gives us warmth for a reason ✨
Formula:
Lightener: milk_shake Level 8
Lowlight: Smoothies 7N + 7A
Tone: The Gloss 10g 8.37 gold violet + 15g 10.11 ash ash + 5g Neutral with the activator
Today I received the most beautiful flowers and the absolute best leave in Incredible milk from milk_shake for Stylist Appreciation Day!
It’s always my pleasure to work with and share my love for milk_shake. So many of the people I’ve met along the way have truly become an extension of my work family. As stylists, we build tribes… and I really love this one.
I’m so grateful to be part of a company that continues to grow, and more importantly, sees stylists for who they are…people who share joy and create beauty for a living.
We also happen to be the most fun! 🤩

March went by in a flash…we lived as much life outside of work as possible, behind the chair is one part of my life…it’s a big part, and important piece to my puzzle. My family time is everything, though, especially these days. A few days behind, but still showing up because every part of our lives is impossibly beautiful in each way.

Dear Clients and Friends,
I wanted to take a moment to reach out and say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Many of you already know that my husband, Kris, was recently diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Some of you have been following along on social media, while others may be hearing this for the first time. Either way, the support, kindness, flexibility, and loyalty you have shown me during this time has meant more than I can possibly put into words.
The good news is that we recently received an amazing first scan showing great progress, which gives us so much hope. We will continue to keep fighting, and we are incredibly grateful for the progress we are seeing.
As we move forward with treatment, my schedule has shifted slightly again so that I can be present for Kris on his treatment days while still continuing to do the work that I love and support our family. Being able to stay behind the chair and maintain some sense of normalcy has been such a gift.
For the time being, my hours will be:
Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Wednesday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Thursday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Friday: Treatment days
Saturday: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
I truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this season. Your support allows me to continue doing what I love while also caring for my family.
Thank you for being part of my life, my work, and my community.
With gratitude,Wendy

Small Schedule Update & Heartfelt Thank you Click here for an update from Wendy J Concept Salon!
Another milk_shake Gloss glow up ✨
Another day, another show-stopping copper 🔥🔥🔥
But this time… we kept that face-framing blonde for a little extra sparkle around the face.
Rich copper.
Glossy shine.
Dimension where it matters most.
Because great color isn’t just about the shade… it’s about the details.

What a year….I mean holy February….it was there was a lot going on…and a s**t ton to be grateful for! All in all…we are ready for spring…and renewal.
March had better be good to us. I don’t have a lot of words today…I’m not feeling very reflective…I’m just ready for more progress in life 🫶🏻
Ooh snap 🫰 a color correction used to send the best of us straight to the back room, praying to those hair Gods!
From faded magenta, blonde, and natural level 8 regrowth to a knockout copper ✨
We removed the remaining fashion pigment and refreshed everything using milk_shake® The Gloss…because shine, tone, and hair integrity should always go hand in hand.
For clients: this is what healthy color revival looks like.
For stylists: this is your reminder that glossing isn’t just toning…it’s transformation.
Copper that’s rich, reflective, and wearable 💛🔥
