Hi! I'm Carly. I'm a Bay Area native who has called San Diego home for the last 14 years. I am totally and completely obsessed with creating beautiful hair.

Blonde Chronicles University is a virtual learning experience that will help you build confidence behind the chair, improve your business and technical skills, and become more efficient through better time management and impactful placement. I've spent the last 12+ years as a stylist behind the chair and recently, as an educator. I am most known for creating lived in dimensional color, but my goal

Nothing is harder to do than take a level 10 lift down to a warm and golden level 7 😅

Make your life easier and lift to a warm level 7 and use your gloss to slightly neutralize!

📌 SIZE MATTERS! 😂 SAVE THIS ONE FOR A QUICK VISUAL GUIDE! Also btw I backcombed all of the sections in these pictures 🫶🏼

❤️ All of these looks were created using the same 2 placements. You don’t need a zillion placements! You need 2-3 so you can tweak them for the client sitting in your chair!

✅ I created a course so you can steal my placements! Comment METHOD below and I’ll send you details!

And BTW, this goes for a salon environment/co-workers as well! If you feel embarrassed and are getting s**t from your co-workers about trying to build your business and grow, FIND A NEW SALON. Leave, immediately!

And respectfully, if you have a “friend” who is critical or judgey of what you’re doing to build your dreams, you need to find new friends. These people are not your friends and you need to find a circle of supporters. It will change your life, promise 🫶🏼

📢 STOP REINVENTING THE WHEEL AT EVERY APPOINTMENT. It’s slowing you down and crushing your confidence.

Think about literally everything in life. If you do it more and practice a lot, you get better at it, you get faster at it and you feel more confident when you do it. HAIR IS NO DIFFERENT!!

✅ If you need an arsenal of core placements and techniques so you can stop guessing at every appointment, let me give you mine. The Blonde Chronicles Method course includes 6 placements (3 for going lighter, 3 for going darker) so you can literally never overthink placement again. Comment METHOD below and I’ll send you a link to learn more!

✅ Is there such a thing as TOO blended?

Personally, my thought is yes. Like have you ever done a tiny babylight thinking “omg this is going to be SO FREAKING BLENDED AND PERFECT” but then you rinse it and actually it looks like you did nothing? 😅 Like it’s just a little bit TOO seamless and natural looking? Been there, made that mistake (many, many times).

❌ while a teeny weave is great in certain situations, sometimes it’s not enough to create contrast between the dark and the light, thus creating no pop or brightness

✨ A chunky weave can still be blended! But it gives more POP and contrast (this will also depend on how much negative space is left out of the foils)

✅ WHAT DO YOU THINK FRIENDS? Do you love a chunky weave? Tell me your questions, comments, concerns below!

📌 SAVE THIS FOR WHEN YOU NEED A SIMPLE LOW IMPACT PLACEMENT!

I talk a lot about how much anxiety I had when I started doing hair and one of the things that really changed that for me was finding a few reliable and predictable placements so that I didn’t have to keep overthinking what to do.

🚨 I just launched a brand new course called ✨The Blonde Chronicles Method✨

It covers literally the only placements I use behind the chair, broken down in the simplest way possible so you never spiral about placement again.

➡️ Inside you’ll learn how to:

📌 Use 6 core placements that work for almost every client (3 for going lighter, 3 for going darker)
📌 Stop over-sectioning and keep your foiling simple and strategic
📌 Finally stop the “what placement should I do???” panic spiral

What d’ya think friend? Are you ready to stop spiraling and let me do the overthinking for you? 😂

✅ Comment METHOD if you want to learn more!!
