A Modern Hair Studio in Evanston, Illinois
Girls day at the shop 🫶🏼
Helen brought Nayia, I brought Bird… and somehow they became the most efficient little team we’ve ever had. Dusting, sweeping, organizing product like pros.
Then, naturally… a quick break for iPad time.
Followed by haircut time, picking out their own clips, and a photo shoot moment to wrap it all up.
Honestly, a match made in heaven 🤍
Told them we’ll be in touch about our summer internship.

Enjoying my sunlit space today.
In the summer it feels a little like a greenhouse, and in the winter, a little like an igloo. Just kidding. I’ve got the Dyson heater going by the door and the heat cranked up, so we’re good.
I heard something recently that really stuck with me. People who are good at fixing things often got that way because there was a lot broken around them, or in their world. And honestly… amen.
Nothing a little duct tape, a Dyson heater, a bit of magic, and some good hair color can’t handle.
When Lisa came in yesterday, it was her second time seeing me. Last visit we softened things up, and this time we agreed she didn’t want to be as warm as her first appointment. She’s loving seeing her natural come through, but still wanted a little pop.
This kind of color, on this kind of person, is one of my favorite places to work. Someone like-minded, fun, thoughtful, and open. It’s a good reminder, especially in seasons where it feels like there’s pressure to do more, be more, or push harder, that there’s a lot to appreciate right where we are. And in the people we get to share this work and this life with.
New year, same vibrant color and energy.
Kristine is amazing, and this color is the full embodiment of that.
May we all go into the New Year like Kristine: looking fabulous, feeling fabulous. Honestly, if color could be a mantra, this would be it.

It’s everyone’s favorite stylist’s birthday today. When I think of ageless, Helen always comes to mind. This year marks 20 years of knowing her, and I can honestly say she’s only gotten funnier and more refined with time. She’s wise, she’s trusted, and she’s the person so many of us confide in and feel loved by daily.
Helen, may all the heart you pour into everyone else find its way back to you today. You deserve to receive every bit of the love you give.
