If you have to cancel or re-arrange in May..I can not help you. MY entire month is crammed packed and I alerted everyone it would be like this since the beginning of the year, with my daughter graduating from college. There are multiple events involved. We will be on vacation a week to celebrate. Same week I take off every year for my birthday. Nobody wants to book Memorial weekend either. I tried. If you can't make your appointment, Huntley or Michelle can take you this go around.

It's not often you get to see the results of the air dry difference. It is typically the blow out end result. More shine. Less frizz. Dries 50% faster. 8 week keratin treatment after air drying.

Why Hair Is Most Fragile When It’s Wet

Every time your hair gets wet, its internal structure temporarily weakens. Water breaks the hydrogen bonds inside the hair fiber, bonds responsible for nearly one-third of the hair’s strength.

At the same time, the hair shaft swells by about 15% as it absorbs water. This expansion lifts the cuticle layers instead of allowing them to lie flat like protective armor.

When the cuticle lifts, the strands begin to catch and rub against each other, which is why hair tangles so easily after washing.

For roughly 30 minutes after washing, hair is at its most vulnerable stage. Yet this is exactly when many people:

• Rub their hair aggressively with a towel
• Brush or comb roughly
• Apply heat with styling tools

All of this creates friction and stress on hair that is already weakened.

How to protect wet hair:

• Use a microfiber towel instead of rough terry cloth
• Detangle gently from the ends upward using a wide-tooth comb
• Allow hair to air-dry or fully dry before using heat tools

Think of wet hair like a fiber that has temporarily lost a significant portion of its strength. The way you treat it during this stage makes a huge difference in preventing breakage and preserving healthy hair.

THRILLED to be back at a full clientele and no longer accepting new people. Thank you to those who referred me, to help me fill the spots from other clients who moved away. I am booked 6 weeks ahead, please keep this in mind if you need to cancel. I can try to get someone else to swap but if you take 2.5 hours and another person that week takes 1.5 to 2 or more, it's not feasible.

Next generation keratin treatments are not straighteners. They add shine, smoother curls, reduce frizz and help you hair feel like it did in your 20s. Mine has always been like a bail of hay, so in my case, it's the best my hair has ever felt.
