✨Hot Girl Summer: Pool Care
Every summer I have tons of clients ask about the best practices for keeping their hair healthy and tangle free at the pool 💦
Supply List:
-large tooth comb or wet brush
-leave in conditioner (my current fave is Stay + Play Leave in Conditioner by )
-hair clip and/or scrunchie
-towel
-deep conditioning treatment (try Hi-Hydrating Hair Mask by BOB )
Always make sure to rinse hair with clean, clear water before and after swimming!
Your hair acts like a sponge and soaks up all the chlorine and salt water it’s exposed to. We want to make sure good stuff (aka conditioners and clean water) are the first things in your hair to pe*****te the deepest and protect it from damaging chemicals!! 💪
Have a great summer!

✨Can’t decide how to wear your hair on your wedding day?
As a luxury traveling bridal stylist, here are 5 things to consider before you say yes to the style…
✨ 1. Your Dress Neckline
Strapless and sweetheart gowns glow with soft waves or a romantic half-up. High necklines and intricate backs? An elevated upstyle lets those details shine.
✨ 2. Your Venue + Climate
Beach in Cabo? Humidity matters. Ballroom in Chicago? Structure holds differently. Your style should complement the setting — and last through every embrace.
✨ 3. Your Veil or Hairpiece
Cathedral veil, statement bow, heirloom pins — placement changes everything. Your hair should support the accessory, not compete with it.
✨ 4. Your Comfort Level
Are you always wearing your hair down? Or do you live in a sleek bun? Your wedding look should feel like the most refined version of you — not a costume.
✨ 5. Your Timeline
Multiple looks? Outfit changes? Reception reveal? We can design a style that evolves with your day.
Your bridal hair isn’t just about trends — it’s about intention, longevity, and how you want to feel when you see yourself in the mirror.
If you’re a 2026/2027 bride still deciding, let’s create something unforgettable. 🤍
