☀️ Vacation Reminder! ☀️

Just a friendly reminder that I will be on vacation July 13th–20th and will not be responding to messages during that time.

I’ll be back in the salon on July 21st and will get back to everyone as soon as I can. If you need to pick up any products before I leave, please reach out! I’ll be in the salon today and for a few hours Friday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! I’m looking forward to seeing all of you in a couple of weeks! ❤️

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend and that all you Moms felt extra loved and spoiled! 💕

Just a friendly reminder I will be out of the salon from May 30th–June 8th attending a hair show in Florida this year instead of Chicago, and I am SO excited! I can’t wait to learn new techniques, see all the latest trends, and bring back fresh ideas and inspiration to share with all of you. ✨

During that time, I will respond to all messages on Monday, June 8th, and I’ll be back behind the chair on June 9th! If you’d like to get in before I leave or need to stock up on products, please send me a message soon so we can get you scheduled. Appointments are limited before I leave. 💇🏼‍♀️

Thank you all so much for your continued support and I appreciate you all more than you know!

Pulling this out of the archives! Our beautiful Bride Danni is so sweet! I have loved getting to do her hair for multiple of her life events and getting to know her over the years. 🤍

Hi everyone! 💕

As I mentioned in my previous post I’m wanting to change some things this year in the salon. Starting with retail. I know you love matrix shampoos/conditioners and the Kenra styling products also seem to be a hit. What else would you guys love to see in the salon? I want YOUR feedback and want to make sure I have things on my shelves you love and want to continue to use at home.💕

Redken?
Biolage?
Purology?

Let me know what products/brands you want to see in the salon going forward. I’m wanting to branch out and add a few more things. If you don’t want to say it here please send me a message! Thanks fo your help
Looking forward to another wonderful year.

✨ Happy New Year to all my wonderful clients! ✨

I’m leaving 2025 with the most grateful heart. You all filled my cup in ways you probably didn’t even realize during a year that felt chaotic at times. You moved appointments around for me, gave me grace when I needed time off after my Grandpa passed right before my wedding, listened to me talk endlessly about wedding plans, and asked not only about my life—but my family too.

2025 was one of the best years of my life, but also one of the hardest seasons. I took on too much because, well… I’m a people pleaser. I know I dropped the ball more times than I can count, and I’ll be forever grateful that you continued to trust me and stick with me as your hairstylist. Somewhere along the way, you all truly became my family.

While you trust me to do your hair, be your therapist, celebrate your biggest moments, and walk with you through some of your hardest you became all of that for me too.

As we head into 2026, I’m back with a new last name 😉 and a renewed focus on the salon and showing up better for you all. Old habits die hard… I can’t promise I’ll respond to a text in five minutes, but within 24 hours? 😜

There will be some changes this year. My hours will be adjusting (hopefully for the better!), and I’ll be opening up some Saturdays as I take a step back from working weddings every weekend with the wedding agency. I still love that side of my business I want to grow my Bridal business in the salon. I’m shifting my focus back into the salon allowing myself more balance and more peace.

If you’ve stuck with me this far, please know there truly aren’t words to express how grateful I am for you all. Thank you for being patient with me, allowing me to be a part of your lives, supporting me through a wild season of life, and continuing to trust me with your hair.

Here’s to 2026 🥂✨

To all my wonderful clients tomorrow will be my first day back after taking some time off for the wedding! I am fully booked tomorrow, but will resume normal business hours next week. If you have messaged me and havent recieved a response please message me again!

If you’re still hoping to get in before Christmas, please reach out as I do have a few openings available next week.

Thank you so much for your patience over the past two weeks (and if im honest this past year with all the wedding planning!). I appreciate your continued support and loyalty more than you know. Looking forward to the last few weeks of 2025 and welcoming some wonderful changes in 2026!
