✨UPDATES & ANNOUNCEMENTS ✨

FIRST OF ALL…
I hope everyone had a happy, healthy holiday! It seemed to have gone by SO FAST! The fact that we’re midway through January is just…🥲

PRICING UPDATE: Pricing for all services have been updated and can be viewed via my online booking link. Please reach out to me directly via text or email should you have any questions/concerns.

SCHEDULE CHANGES: I will be adjusting my schedule & hours this year by implementing a 4-day work week! I will be taking every other Tuesday and every other Saturday off, starting in February. I wanted to slowly ween myself off of working essentially every Saturday for the past 10 years 😂 This way, my weekend peeps can still come in. Please note: Appointments are extremely limited for Saturdays, please plan to pre-book accordingly if possible.

TAKING NEW CLIENTS? Yes I am! New clients must schedule a consultation or text me at 301.388.8977 to consult prior to booking an appointment. ♥️

LASTLY….
Revolt Hair Studio reserves the right to refuse services to anyone at any given time.
If your appointment has been cancelled, please expect to receive a refund for your paid deposit within 24-48 business hours.

Happy New Year! 🎊
—Nikki

Oldie but goody*

Gray (or grey?) coverage doesn’t have boring and non-dimensional. Nor does it need to be one opaque root color every 4 weeks!

I always like to recommend gray blending with highlights and sometimes lowlights for clients who are starting to notice more stubborn grays, but don’t want to commit to the maintenance of a root touch up every 4-6 weeks. This allows your grays to grow out seamlessly and less noticeable, as we’re not getting rid of ALL of your grays — we’re just camouflaging them☺️

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday! So grateful for each and every one of my beautiful clients, friends and family ♥️

Love,
Nikki

The calm before the ✨holiday✨ storm.

✨PRO-TIP✨
For clients who are experiencing postpartum hair loss, DO NOT highlight the resulting regrowth or “baby hairs”. I like to keep those babies out of my foils! We don’t need/want to draw attention to them until they’ve grown out to a certain length that doesn’t look like breakage when lightened 🙃🫶🏼

Fall doesn’t mean you haaaaave to go darker! For my blondes who aren’t quite ready to part ways with their blonde - a great option is to ✨TONE DOWN✨ with a demi-permanent gloss.

Toning down your blonde can ever so slightly deepen the tone so it’s not summertime bright blonde🌞but it’s not dark af either. 🙃

Over time, your gloss/toner will fade and before you know it…. It’s nearing Spring and it’s time to go blonde again! This also makes your stylist’s life sOooooo much easier when taking you back to blonde for the warmer seasons!

Happy Fall! 🍂🍁

Greetings from Austin ya’ll! I’m still here in Texas, but I’ll be back in the studio on Wednesday! I love KEVIN.MURPHY] so much because it’s so much more than just hair products.

⚡️WASH: Hydrolysed quinoa extract, chicory root extract and nourishing rice proteins guard against mineral accumulation.

⚡️LEAVE-IN: Moringa oleifera seed extract helps repair and protect from environmental pollution and rice proteins for resilience.

I’ve had some pretty deep conversations with some of you this past week about the Supreme Court’s leaked draft opinion. A lot of you told me your personal stories and experiences, and I told you mine. We shared tears of grief, frustration and solidarity. We shared opinions that were both unanimous and opposing, but nonetheless — respected.

When we “reach across the table” to individuals who we’re told are our enemies simply because they have opposing views and opinions, and just have a conversation… we find that we are all in fact, very human. I think this is something that’s often forgotten. Especially now. I’m guilty of forgetting that myself sometimes.

So, hi. Let’s have a conversation. ♥️✌🏼

**UPDATED CANCELLATION, LATENESS & RESCHEDULING POLICIES**

Your visit is important to me and the allotted time of your appointment is curated just for you! I understand that unexpected events are inevitable and sometimes are out of our control. With that said, I ask that clients do their best to respect my time as I respect theirs. Time is a valuable thing!

These policies are industry standard and are designed to protect the stylist’s time and business, and also allows other clients a chance to book an appointment if you are unable to attend.

THANK YOU to all current and future clients for understanding the importance of these policies, as well as your continued love and support!

Please text or email me directly at 301.388.8977 or [email protected] should you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you!
🖤, Nikki
