Melissa Braun Hair Studio

Summer came in with beautiful length, but her curls were hiding under frizz and flatness on top.

Turns out she was scrunching product into the bottom of her hair and missing the top completely, an easy fix once we found it! We added layers, got her products dialed in (Healium, Coil Curl Cream, Uptown Gel), and now those curls are popping from root to end.

Small changes can make a big difference.

I want to see your favorite work from me!

Susanna came in ready for a big chop. Her hair was already in good shape; she just wanted a routine that actually fit her curls.

We talked about how washing effects the outside layer of your hair (that’s the cuticle) depending on what you use and how you use it. Kind of a big deal, and most people never think about it.

She asked how often she should wash. My answer: a clean scalp matters more than sticking to a strict schedule. Life gets busy, and that’s fine. What actually helps is knowing how to make each wash and condition count.

Her new lineup: Maria Nila Cleanse once a month, MN Structure Repair, Nouvelle Curl Me Up Hydrating Masque, Trybe Curl Defining Creme, MN Styling Mousse, Trybe Texture Gel, diffused to finish.

Swipe for the before and after.

Mary Beth came in not totally sure what she wanted, just knowing she was ready to spruce things up.

Her old DIY color had created some banding, so the first step was blending everything back into one cohesive look. We looked through a mix of colors she loved and colors we’ve done before, and landed on highlights with a color melt. It breaks up the old color, blends everything together, and gives some subtle grey coverage without looking like “”grey coverage”” (don’t tell anyone) 🤫

For the cut, we kept it simple, just took a little off the ends and adjusted the layering to soften everything up. She wears her hair both curly and straight, so we made sure this would work beautifully either way.

Sometimes you don’t need a total overhaul, just the right eye to bring it all together.

This didn't happen by accident!! 🌱

Stephanie's curls went from undefined and dry-looking to full, bouncy, and clearly defined, and it's all thanks to a routine built specifically for her hair.

We started with Healium Balance to clarify and reset, then brought in Healthy and Recover to actually nourish from there. A Black Magic treatment gave her hair the deeper repair it needed.

For styling, it's Layer One and MN Styling Mousse to build the curl, Trybe Texture Gel to define it, and a little Depot Texture Powder at the end for texture that lasts.
The right products, in the right order, for her specific curl pattern can make a huge difference.

“Will this cut make my hair healthy?” Not exactly, and here’s why. 🌱

Marisol came in after taking a little break from her curls, and we started talking about what a cut actually does versus what it doesn’t. A cut gets your curls going in the right direction, but it’s not what heals the hair. That part comes from what you’re doing at home every single day.

We went through her routine together and found a few small things to adjust, because she was honestly already on a good path. Sometimes it’s not a total overhaul, just honing in on the right pieces.

This is the part people skip past because a cut feels like the fix, but the real change happens in the shower and after.

Erin just moved to the area and needed a new salon to call home, and we are so glad she found us! 🥹

She already had a routine she liked, but felt like her curls could be giving more. More definition, more volume, just... more. So we dug into her technique a little, we started to work in smaller sections, really focusing on lifting at the root while styling. Sometimes it’s not about adding more products, it’s about working with what you’ve got differently.

We also got her set up with a solid routine: MN clarify, Healium Healthy + Recover, Black Magic treatment, Layer One, MN styling mousse, Downtown gel, and finished with a hover diffuse.

If you just moved to the Matthews area or you’ve been meaning to find your person for your curls, come see me. Evergreen would love to be your new salon home! 💚

Before. 🤍
