“YOU WILL NOT OFFEND ME”

Goes a long way in immediately disarming any client from feeling on edge about speaking up and being honest.

Let’s look at some unspoken cues that your client may not like her hair but doesn’t know how to tell you.

1. She touches the area she doesn’t like

2. She is silent for more than 3-5 seconds

3. She says she likes it and immediately goes to the bathroom (most likely to fix)

Understanding this hidden language and mastering the client communication/experience is also an art that is be learned.

It can make or break your bookings and reputation too.

I created a FREE messaging cheat sheet for you if you want it 🩷 comment “CODES” & I’ll send it to you!

I still can’t believe it 🎉

Baby number 3 due December 25th (my birthday!!!) 🥹🎄❄️

Talk about a surprise!

To think that 5 years ago with baby number 1, we could barely make ends meet & now God has blessed our family with a thriving bridal business, 1,500+ stylists I get to mentor & now THREE children?!!!

Don’t worry— nothing is slowing down and there is always more to come!!! (🔥✨many new tutorials dropping soon and filming for next year’s drops already!)

Many of you now about my grandma’s passing. It’s been truly one of the most difficult things I’ve ever experienced (and am still experiencing)….. and out of her death came new life. 🤍

🌼 Twist wrap curl everything to the back middle & style before shaping crown

🌼 Use styling stick to glue down flyaways by ear and crown

🌼 BLEND the side sections INTO the crown so there isn’t a huge destination between the sides and top

🌼 HIDE your pins by over directing the pin into the twist

🌼 Add extensions on sides if naturally sparse— but ANGLE them so they don’t show! Even better— Spray the top of extension with root color spray to blend them with grown out dark roots — ( is my fav brand for bridal stylists)

This is modern bridal half up style is by far one of the most popular bridal hairstyle requests this year and it’s not going anywhere.

It used to feel so confusing…. But not all advice is good advice.

It’s your business. YOU call the shots.

I myth busted all of the advice above & broke through the glass ceiling because of it. I want the same for you!
