✨ High-Contrast vs. Low-Maintenance Color — which one are you? 💥🌿
If you’ve ever looked at a photo and thought, “I love that color, but I don’t want to be in the salon every 6 weeks,” this post is for you 👇
💥 High-Contrast Color
Bold, bright, and dimensional. You’ll see a clear difference between your natural shade and your highlights — which means faster regrowth and more frequent touch-ups.
→ Best for: those who love a statement look and enjoy that “fresh from the salon” feeling.
🌿 Low-Maintenance Color
Soft, seamless, and lived-in. Your color is designed to grow out naturally with little to no harsh line.
→ Best for: busy clients who want gorgeous color without being tied to a strict schedule.
There’s no “right” or “wrong” — just what fits your lifestyle.
💭 So tell me…
Are you team 💥 high-contrast or team 🌿 low-maintenance?

“I’ve seen many stylists in the past, but I will keep coming back to you!!” 🥰 That is the best compliment ever!
It’s more than just a hair appointment—it’s your time to relax, feel pampered, and walk out feeling like your best self.
Here’s how I make your salon experience unforgettable:
• I actually listen to what you want—plus, I encourage inspiration photos to make sure we’re on the same page.
• Your comfort matters: snacks, drinks, quiet time or good convo? It’s all about YOU.
• Low-maintenance looks are my specialty—because your hair should be easy to love every day, not just the day you leave my chair.
• No surprises: I’m clear about pricing, timing, and what results you can expect.
You deserve a stylist who gets it. And I’m here for that vibe.
Let’s make your next appointment a whole experience!! ❤️

🎀 If you are looking for quick in and out cuts and color....that is not me. I rarely double book, I do not rush to the next and the next...
When you visit my chair, expect pampering, expect snacks and beverages, scalp massages, deep conditioning treatments (when you need it), expect to relax, connect and to simply breath, a consultation that doesn’t consist of a simple “doing the same thing?”, But a conversation about what you love in your hair, what you hate, what you struggled with, any concerns, questions, what do you want to work toward, long term and short term goals for your hair. I don’t take calls during our time together...our time is meant to be about you! I love to build relationships, help you feel heard, help you with your beauty struggles, help you hit your goals....in the end when you leave my chair I want you to feel unrushed, important, heard, pampered, confident and gorgeous, relaxed and ready to take on your day with a smile. 😃
Am I for everyone? Absolutely not! But I love the relationships built, the confidence my clients have in feeling free to ask me questions, vent concerns and frustrations, etc. this is some of the reasons I love doing what I do...good hair is easy to find...the rest? That is a bit harder.
🎀 If this sounds like something you have been looking for, please visit me on my website for details of my services, including the time involved and the prices. Look over my Instagram and pages of previous work to see if I am a fit and feel free to book online from there or reach out to me here with any questions you might have! I would love to visit with you!

🌷Considering switching to low-maintenance color?
It sounds amazing- you only have to come in a couple of times a year, it grows in beautifully, and it’s super easy to take care of. What could be better?
Low-maintenance color isn’t for everyone, nor for every look.
So here’s three things to think about if you’re considering switching:
1. Consider embracing your natural color as a base & enhance instead of cover it. - One of the keys to being as low maintenance as possible is embracing your natural color and enhancing rather than changing it. By doing this, you don’t have any harsh grow-out, and it’s much easier to have a seamless blend 4 months later!
2. Consider your time & money budget. What works best with your life? - Is it better for you to come in for more frequent, shorter, lower-investment appointments, or would you prefer to only come in 2-3 times a year but have it be a slightly longer appointment and slightly higher investment? Neither answer is wrong, but it all depends on what your time and budget look like.
3. Choose a stylist (Me!! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️) that specifically works with low-maintenance color techniques - Pretty much every stylist has their specialty, so when choosing a stylist make sure that they’re on board with you only coming in a couple times a year and understand how to create a seamless blend that lasts months!

🌸It’s a new season! I’m eagerly anticipating a bit more warmth and moisture in the air.
But what truly excites me is the sudden urge among all my clients to lighten their hair or experiment with new colors!
Do you usually change your hair color with the changing seasons? If so, what are your typical approaches?

🎉Can you believe it’s been 9 years since I’ve become an independent stylist at Lucid Salon? It feels like yesterday, but looking back… I was a completely different person 9 years ago.
What many people may not know, at that time in my life, I was contemplating whether or not to continue doing what I love. I was working at a corporate salon and making minimum wage. I just went thru a divorce, trying to pick up the pieces of being a single mom, and living back at home. I felt like an absolute failure. I knew I had to make a change.
Someone convinced me to become an independent stylist at a newer salon in the area. What does that even mean you ask?
-No guaranteed income
-No health insurance
-No paid time off, vacation time, or sick days
-Make your own schedule
-Be your own boss
-Pay to work/rent space
The pros and cons list could go on for days. This sounded so scary at the time, but it was the absolute best decision I could have made!
Here we are 9 years later! I have built a thriving business inside Lucid Salon, which I couldn’t have done without the support of my amazing clients! I have purchased a home for Jaydan and I, which I didn’t even think was possible. I am recently married to the most wonderful, hardworking man, and now we are in the process of building our forever home! Life is great!! 💕
