Happy Thanksgiving to my babes❤️

This year more than most I have a lot to be thankful for. This time last year we were going through another forced closure.

This year although I’m ready to drop from exhaustion or drink six bottles of wine from being so booked up I went home every night thinking how blessed I was to be so busy.

I can never extend enough gratitude to those of you who choose to do business with me. You’ll also never know how much you mean to me beyond being a client.

I hope your holiday is filled with love, memories, and way too much food.

Happy thanksgiving 🦃

ATTENTION LADIES 🚨!

The holiday season is upon us. I only have around three appointment slots next week for color before the entire month of November is booked up.

This will also mean that as I see guests in the upcoming weeks that December will start to be booked up as well.

If you have not made your appointment for the holidays yet I strongly advise you to do so now.

With Covid restrictions relaxing and many traveling to see family this year you don’t want to go see Aunt Brenda without your roots done, trust me.

As a reminder you can book online 24/7 at www.jrbhairco.com

Should I come with dirty hair?

I get asked this question all the time. So and so said my color will take better on dirty hair. Or it’s healthier for the hair to be oily before a color service.

All of above are actually wrong. But the sentiment isn’t completely wrong. So I’m going to break down the truth behind this misconception.

Your hair being oily actually makes things more difficult. The lightner has to be stronger and sit longer to break down the oils on your hair and actually be able to get inside the cuticle to do it’s job.

The color does not take better on dirty hair if anything the exact opposite is true. Color isn’t as powerful as lightner which is why we can’t take blonde hair color and turn everyone blonde from dark. If it’s already not strong enough for that adding additional hair product residue, and natural oils your color is most likely going to be spotty and uneven.

Okay Jay so dirty hair is bad for color right? No, not exactly.

When we shampoo often we scratch our scalp with our nails, it feels so good though! When we do this we cause microscopic abrasions in our skin. Developers in color are mainly hydrogen peroxide with conditioning agents.

You know that sting you get when you put hydrogen peroxide on a cut? Same logic here. That’s why your color burns sometimes. We ask you not to shampoo right before because we want you to be comfortable during the service and not itchy and burning.

So when should I shampoo before a color service?

If your color is off scalp meaning in foils or something like that 24 hours before the service is great. If your color goes on scalp gray coverage, all over colors, 48 hours before is great. This gives your scalp time to repair those cuts and avoid the burning.

I hope this helps explain why it is mostly a myth and better helps guests understand the why behind these chemical reactions. As hairstylists we go to school for over a year to learn the intricacies behind the products, how they work, and why. But we rarely pass that information on to our guests. I hope to bust that barrier and always provide everyone with the science behind what we do, and why these things work or don’t work.

What’s better than great hair? Great hair, champagne, and great conversation. Tonight @marymkramer and @jc_robbs had me rolling, and reminded me why I love my job ❤️. Thanks ladies for the entertainment. It’s always a blast with the two of you!

Oh Canada 🍁 🇨🇦.

No one said Eh 🥲.
Your drinks are weak😅.
Poutine is disgusting 🤢.
But Toronto is beautiful 🤩.
Everyone is really nice 👍.

I’ve shopped a lot, ate a lot, and drank a lot. But I’m very ready to be back state side 🇺🇸 and have my doggos 🐕 back.

Attention Guests:

I will be out of the country starting today until next week. I will not be responding to any hair messages, texts, or appointment requests. I will approve all requests when I get back into the States next week.

Thanks,
Jay

Thank you 🙏.

I am grateful for every appointment, every transaction, and every time you choose to support me in a world full of other stylists.

But today I was reminded that I’m so much more than a small business that you choose to support.

I’m a friend, a gossip buddy, therapist, and hair guru all in one.

Out of all the things I’ve done in my life the thing I’m most proud of is creating a safe space where my guests can let their hair down, figuratively and literally. Where they feel safe to confide in me their secrets, share their joy, and ultimately their lives.

I am honored every time I put that color apron on and get to be a part of your stories.

Holy @!*$ 😱.

Can you believe her color processed for only 10 minutes. Scroll ➡️ to see the difference.

Most gray coverage takes at minimum 40 minutes to process in order to get complete coverage.

@redken is changing the game once again with a 100% gray coverage with only a 10 minute processing time.

My guest who normally spends 2-2.5 hours for a color retouch, toner, hair treatment, cut and blow dry was in and out in 1.5 hours.

Meaning less time for her to spend in the salon, and more time for me to take more guests in a day.

Don’t worry though, I won’t tell the husbands you finished an hour early if you don’t, get yo Target shopping on girl 😂😉 it’ll be our little secret.

Let’s talk a blondes best friend and worst Nemesis.

💜 purple shampoo.

Purple shampoo is wonderful for those quick toning sessions in between your salon visits. To help keep brass at bay and your blonde bright.

But the double edge sword is purple shampoo is extremely drying.

Why🧐❓

Purple shampoo contains trace amounts of color inside it. This is how it works. As you lather up the purple “toner” cancels out the yellow. Think of it in terms of putting a more gentle toner on your hair every time you shampoo.

Now imagine if you were coming to the salon several times a week to get a toner. Of course your hair would feel like the Sahara.

So what’s the proper way to use the purple shampoo⁉️

1️⃣. Use purple shampoo 2️⃣ ❌ a month.

2️⃣. Wait at least 3️⃣-4️⃣ weeks after getting your color done. (The pigment in purple shampoo will actually strip your toner and increase the brass underneath if used too quickly after the color service).

3️⃣. Use your normal shampoo to get a good lather🧖🏼‍♀️ and then apply your purple shampoo over top of the lather to help evenly distribute the pigments throughout the hair.

4️⃣. Let sit for 3️⃣-5️⃣⏱ to work it’s magic.

5️⃣. Rinse and follow up with a deep conditioner to restore the moisture💦.

May I get personal for a moment?

You may have noticed a lack of social media presence from me as of late. I apologize to my guests who absorb the knowledge I intertwine with my hair pics.

The truth is Facebook and instagram became a negative effect on my mental health for a while, so I took a step back.

It came to a point where I was always stressing over taking good enough photos, or coming up with a creative caption, or simply was my engagement going to be high enough?

I began comparing myself to other artists in my field. I constantly berated myself with negative thoughts and feelings towards it.

So I took some much needed time away from the app and began to reevaluate my purpose and what drives me.

The love I have behind the chair is more than I can truly express, but that love doesn’t always translate to the social media side. I appreciate my guests for allowing me the time to step away while still having my business thrive.

I’m back, and I’m ready to bring you quality content once again. For me I needed to step away and get inspired again through art, music, and new styling tutorials. What is it you do when you’re feeling in a funk that helps pull you back to reality?

Y’all know my addiction to Starbucks ☕️.

So when one of the baristas at my favorite location came in with pink ambitions I knew I couldn’t let her down.

300 foils, 7.5 hours, and a few iced coffees later and Bam 💥.

Speaking of Starbucks, what is your fav drink?

This girl is on FIRE 🔥.

If you’ve been in my chair a while you know there are a few things I typically say no to, pixie cuts, men’s fades, and reds/coppers.

None of my guests have these things so I’m rusty when it comes to those skills. So instead of butchering you I choose honesty and just say no I’m not the stylist for that, but I’ll recommend someone that I trust that can.

But miss @breedidit asked me for this and at first I said no but after a few weeks of asking me to do it I finally relented and said yes.

I’ll be honest I even shocked myself with how AMAZING this color turned out.
