Did we slay this 1980’s inspired pixie haircut and colorful hair transformation by myself & Philip Wolff ?

It’s been one month since I officially became a founder of my own hair brand 🥲 It took 3 years to create with a team of industry icons.
It’s been 10 years TODAY since I posted my first hair post on Instagram. I put my first 3 posts towards the end of the carousel. A blonde, a haircut, and a cover of Adriana Lima after I gave her a Brazilian Blowout. It took 2 years until I got my first meaningful brand deal.
This year it will be 32 years as a licensed cosmetologist. I assisted for 3 years until I took my own clients.
I started being an educator in 2008 and made $200 per class. It wasn’t until 2010 that I got to be on stage at hair shows and travel the world. Then I became interested in being an executive on the corporate side of the industry. It was 10 years later that I had the opportunity to be a Vice President for a brand.
I don’t think I’ve totally processed that I’m now a founder of my own company. It’s always been a dream of mine, but it had to be the right idea, at the right time, with the right people. And it finally happened.
We tend to make things look so easy and effortless on social media. Two things: It’s not easy. It’s hard and although I have experienced so much joy and have many fond memories… I have made so many mistakes. I’ve also been lied to. Lied about. Stolen from. Taken advantage of and wanted to give up 1000’s of times. But I am grateful for all of it because it shaped me and prepared me for where I stand today.
I wish we taught baby stylists more about all of the opportunities that we have as professional hairstylists. There are so many paths to choose. You can do it all, or choose what feeds your soul. But from being booked and busy to creating your own products or owning a salon. It’s hard work don’t be fooled by what you see here. And don’t ever give up on your dreams. If you stay the course I promise you anything is possible 🙏

Helen is MOTHER 🥲 🤌
She just turned 82 and told me she hated her flat brassy hair, so I taught her some Gen Z slang and used the brand new Triple Bright on her and her hair was like new! She said I ate and left zero crumbs. I miss her already 🥹🙏 K18 Hair 🧬
This client said she hated her hair and asked for a Platinum Silver “Labyrinth” inspired Mullet 🥲

What is QOAT? My favorite client “Jessica” came in and said that it’s all the girls could talk about at brunch this past weekend! 🥂
It isn’t a cellophane. It isn’t a clear gloss or toner either. It isn’t a keratin or smoothing treatment. It doesn’t replace your repair service. So what is it?
QOAT is the first of its kind Professional Hair-color Topcoat. Designed to seal, protect, and illuminate every hair-color service and is compatible with all color lines. It uses our HydraGlow Shield ™️ technology to put a water repellent layer to mimic the hydrophobic lipid layer or “F Layer” that is compromised during every color and lightening service. By mimicking this layer, we stop excess water from entering the hair fiber, which is the number one cause of premature color fade.
We also have antioxidant that protects against UV, pollution, hard water, and heat which also break down color molecules and fade your hair-color. Our formula was made lightweight and breathable. There are NO silicones or plastics in QOAT so you can lift and change your clients hair-color with ease. Our advanced hydration system gives necessary moisture and intense shine ✨ that lasts. Think topcoat for nails 💅, but for hair 🥲🤌
Jessica is an out of work influencer. Should we hire her? 🤔 ✨

CLIENT WRITES ONE STAR ⭐️ review about hair salon + stylist after THEY show up to their appointment late and also sick 🤧
This situation over on TikTok had me so heated last night 😡 IYKYK lol
There’s soooo much to unpack here, but I included snippets from the Karen Client who after showing up late to her hair appointment and was also sick, ran to her car IMMEDIATELY to make a video bashing the hairstylist. She also wrote a one star ⭐️ review trying to hurt this young ladies small business. The stylist made a response and she was so classy. So calm. SO PROFESSIONAL. She offered to take the client the next day or another day that worked, but explained that she would be unable to take her anymore because it would be unfair to her other clients being that she was late.
I told everyone on TikTok to follow her (the stylist) and I see she’s here on IG too Madelynn Gunnett🪩✨ and also the small studio salon Strand of Sol Studio ✨ Hairstylists unite 🫶 and clients too! She deserves some love.
I’ll never understand the entitlement running to the internet and bashing a hairstylist for sport. She (the client) definitely can be disappointed. Or even cry. Call a friend. But to try and hurt someone’s livelihood when they did nothing wrong and were as accommodating as possible? Booooooo! 😒
You can watch the video to get the rest. I found on TikTok both clients and hairstylists alike agree.
She hated her hair. She said it wasn’t blonde enough. She said the blonde was yellow & it looked like corn 🌽 😢 She said it was flat and she wanted to cut it all off. Even after it was level 10 she said NO. It’s still not the blonde I want. I want platinum. I wanna be a rockstar.
This hair appointment was a journey. There were twists, and turns. There were unexpected mishaps 💦 🥵 Luckily, we made it and GUMBALL was obsessed 🤩 with her new platinum rock and roll mullet 🤘✂️
