McKenna Collective

Confession… I totally stole this hack from the sourdough world. 🤭

A little paper towel + a splash of water, give it a shake, and it grabs all that slimy color residue. Such a simple trick when you don’t have a bottle brush handy.

You’re welcome. 😉

You have to know the rules before you can break them. 😉

One of the biggest benefits of seeing a stylist trained in multiple extension methods is knowing that every head of hair needs something different. Sometimes the best solution isn’t one technique, it’s a combination.

Lately I’ve been blending two methods together for extra support, and I’m honestly obsessed with the results. ✨

A little extension ASMR 🤍

Sometimes extension appointments are basically two color services in one. Gotta make sure every weft blends seamlessly. ✨

Grey blending isn’t one size fits all 🤍

I had so much fun creating this blend for Mary Collins

Sometimes embracing your gray means going brighter, and sometimes it means adding your natural depth back in. Every journey is different and that’s what makes it so fun to customize ✨

Ohhhh the stories I could tell…. Don’t worry I got you boo boo. Secrets safe with me 🤫

Let’s normalize needing a little help with our hair. 🤍

Postpartum. Perimenopause. Fine hair. Stress. Life happens.

We added just one row of hand-tied extensions and the fullness speaks for itself. Sometimes the biggest transformation isn’t length it’s confidence. ✨

These are the products I’m reaching for every single day lately!

✨ Goldie Locks — the smell, the protection, the lightweight feel… obsessed.

✨ IGK Good Behavior — a ride-or-die since 2020.

✨ K18 AirWash — no white residue and actually leaves your hair feeling clean.

Not all products work for all hair types, so if you need a personalized recommendation, just ask. I got you. ✨

Opening a business while running a business is hard. Toddlers are ruthless. Life is life.

But this dream is worth it, and I’ll get through it. Probably with a lot of coffee and a few questionable decisions along the way 🤪

Tiny Hands Part ✌🏼

The tiny hands made a surprise appearance this week 👋😂

Nothing starts an appointment quite like a hilarious set of tiny hands and a good laugh! The fun, feel good energy they bring to the salon is truly unmatched. 💕✨
