Sometimes, I just have to stop and brag on someone. ❤️

Does hairbysoph work for me anymore at Willow & Birch Salon KY? No.
Did she used to? Yes.
Am I still incredibly proud of her? Absolutely. Just like a leader would be.

Sophie has always been one of those stylists who is incredibly precise. Her sectioning has always been so clean. I remember trying to teach her to use bigger sections and zig-zag partings to create different looks, and she wanted nothing to do with it. 😂 She loved her precision, and stepping outside of that comfort zone wasn’t easy.

Well… today she sent Ari and me photos and videos of her work using bigger sections and zig-zag placements, and y’all… she absolutely nailed it. Her placement, technique, and ex*****on are beautiful. It made me smile so big seeing her growth.

One thing I’ll always believe is that this industry isn’t about competition—it’s about cheering each other on. Even though Sophie doesn’t work under our roof anymore, she’s still part of our family in so many ways. Watching her continue to grow and thrive brings me so much joy.

We’re so proud of you, Soph. ❤️ Keep learning, keep growing, and keep creating beautiful hair. We love you!

Soft but bright blondes make me happy!

Some people see their job as stress. Something heavy. Something they simply have to do to survive.

But for me… this place is a breath of fresh air. Is there responsibility and does it feel busy sometimes, sure.

In the middle of life’s chaos, I walk through these doors and find peace. I sit in the quiet, and the Lord settles my heart. He quiets my mind, fills this place with His presence, and reminds me that this has always been so much more than doing hair.

This is ministry.

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude as I reflect on this past year. Thank You, Lord, for the growth You’ve brought to Willow & Birch Salon KY . Thank You for every client You’ve trusted me with, every conversation, every laugh, every tear, and every opportunity to love people well.

Thank You for each girl You’ve placed under my leadership and for the ones You’re still bringing. It is such an honor to pour into this team and watch them grow.

And to every client who has walked through our doors—you are the reason this place feels so full of life. Thank you for trusting us, supporting us, encouraging us, and allowing us to serve you. We don’t take that lightly.

I don’t see this as just a career. I see it as a gift. A calling. And I pray I never lose the wonder of what God has allowed me to steward.

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3

I just want to start by saying how incredibly thankful I am for every single one of you. Your support of me and Willow & Birch means more than you know. ❤️

Because of you all, my books are currently full through the beginning of October! Looking ahead, November and December are filling quickly as well, so if you haven’t scheduled your appointments yet, now is the time to book.

If you’d like an earlier appointment, be sure to add yourself to the cancellation list. As openings become available, I’ll reach out and fill them as quickly as I can!

If my schedule doesn’t work for what you need, I can confidently recommend booking with Ari or Hailey. They have been taking wonderful care of so many of my guests, and I trust them wholeheartedly. They are incredibly talented, and I know you’ll be in great hands.

One thing I love most about Willow & Birch is our salon culture. We truly operate like a family. We don’t believe in “owning” clients—we believe in serving people well. Our heart is simply to make sure every guest feels cared for, valued, and leaves loving both their experience and their hair.

Thank you for continuing to trust us. We don’t take that privilege lightly, and we can’t wait to keep serving you. 🤍

From the owner Julie-

As a business owner, I know how rare it is to find a team that not only excels at what they do but genuinely cares about the people around them.

I truly couldn’t ask for a better group of girls to work alongside every day.

They are reliable, incredibly talented, and always willing to jump in wherever they’re needed. They don’t just show up for their guests—they show up for each other. They take pride in keeping our salon running smoothly, they’re eager to learn and grow, and they serve with humble hearts.

But what I’m most proud of isn’t their talent—it’s the way they treat people. They make others feel seen, welcomed, valued, and cared for. That kind of character can’t be taught, and it’s what makes Willow & Birch so special.

I’m beyond grateful and blessed to have you girls! Thank you for your hard work, your excellence, your servant hearts, and for helping create the peaceful, encouraging atmosphere that our guests experience every day.

You girls are such a blessing, and I’m honored to do this alongside you. 🤍

Come get ya some. It’s so good .

Let’s talk about Davines🤍🌿

Some may say I’m biased for recommending these products, but my love for Davines started long before I ever stood behind the chair. There truly isn’t a bottle on these shelves that I don’t believe in.

Your healthy hair journey starts with the basics. The foundation of great hair is your shampoo & conditioner. You can’t expect salon-quality results without giving your hair the care it deserves at home.

🌊One of my favorite things about Davines is that it’s cruelty-free & vegan, with packaging that’s up to 91% biodegradable and recyclable. Caring for your hair while being mindful of the planet? That’s a win-win

🧑‍🌾A fun fact that a lot of people don't know is that if you scan the QR code on the back of the bottle, it tells you the main active natural ingredient & exactly which farm & even which farmer it came from. I think that's such a cool way to connect you to the products you're using.

Investing in your hair doesn’t have to happen all at once. Small, consistent changes can lead to the healthy, beautiful hair you’ve been dreaming of.
No matter your hair type or your goals, there’s a Davines routine made just for you. Let’s find the perfect one together. ✨
