Strands of Beauty by Cortney

Obsessed with this healthy, lived-in blonde and I know you are too. ✨

Getting gorgeous color is one thing — keeping it healthy and vibrant between appointments is where the real magic happens. As your CDA solo stylist, client education is something I take seriously. Before you leave my chair, you know exactly how to care for your hair at home.

Here is my go-to care guide for every lived-in blonde:

USE SULFATE-FREE SHAMPOO
Sulfates are harsh detergents that strip color fast. Switching to a color-safe, sulfate-free formula is one of the single best things you can do for your blonde.

ADD A TONING SHAMPOO TO YOUR ROUTINE
A purple or blue toning shampoo used 1-2x per week neutralizes brassiness and keeps your color looking fresh and cool-toned. Just do not use it every wash or it can over-deposit.

DEEP CONDITION WEEKLY
Blonde hair — especially lightened hair — craves moisture. A weekly deep conditioning mask or at-home bond treatment keeps your hair soft, strong, and shiny.

NEVER SKIP HEAT PROTECTANT
Every time you use heat tools, protection is non-negotiable. This one habit alone makes a massive difference in the long-term health of your color.

PROTECT FROM THE SUN
UV rays fade color and cause brassiness faster than almost anything else. A UV protection spray is essential, especially during Idaho summers.

COME IN FOR A GLOSS REFRESH EVERY 9-14 WEEKS
A toner or gloss appointment between color services keeps your blonde dimensional, vibrant, and true to tone. It is one of the most underrated services for maintaining your look.

Your hair is worth the investment and I am here to help you protect it every step of the way. 💛

Blonde lasting longer starts here ✨

Your grow-out can stay soft, glossy, and seamless between appointments. The secret is the right toning, at-home care, and timing your refresh before brassiness takes over.

If you’re ready to protect your color and keep that lived-in blonde looking fresh, send me a message. I’d love to help you build a routine that actually works for your hair.

Color correction is one of the most complex services in the salon and one I absolutely love doing. ✨

Here's what makes the experience at Strands of Beauty by Cortney different: it starts with a real, in-depth consultation. We talk about your hair history, your goals, what's worked, what hasn't, and exactly what healthy results look like for YOUR hair.

And it doesn't stop at the consultation chair. While I'm working, I walk you through every decision I'm making. Why I'm sectioning this way. Why this formula will lift without compromising your hair's integrity. Why patience right now means healthier hair long-term. My goal is that you walk out not only looking incredible but actually understanding your hair. 💛

Because here's the truth: a great color correction is as much about the health of your hair as it is the color. Healthy first. Beautiful always.
