happy friday babes, out here juggling it all and enjoying this beautiful life while doing it! ✨
from being behind the chair, where my passion first started with hair and the relationships built with my clients
to creating a client experience and a hair home I’m proud of. from payroll, profit & loss spreadsheets, inventory, content creation, marketing, client communication, leading a team, balancing motherhood, putting out fires, and answering 10 things at once 😅
this season of life is busy in the best way. and it’s only growing and glowing from here ✨💫🤍
if you have a dream, chase it.
is it hard being a business owner, working in your business, on your business, and being a mother? 10000% yes. but I chose this life and truly wouldn’t have it any other way.
choose your hard babes.
s/o to .bee.photographee for making my visions come to life.

a bright but dimensional blonde will always have my heart 🤍

no toner, just raw lift to keep this babe bright + blonde ✨
truly my fav thing to do when the goal is to be bright and your natural canvas is a level 7 or lighter. raw lift is when we don’t adjust the tone with a glaze - we just leave it how it lifted and finish with a clear gloss or treatment.

the brightness around the face is always a favorite ✨🫶🏼 and we love a babe who embraces the warmth (which is trending right now!)
nothing like having that pop of blonde, while still keeping it soft for an easy grow out. a face frame is 100% customizable to your hairline, hair goals and how often you visit the salon. (and also how dark your natural color is- think darker root brighter face frame means more noticeable grow out VS lighter natural color brighter face frame will be a softer grow out.)
we did a pick me up placement which is a half placement of custom blonding - baby lights around the hairline and teasylights throughout the sides and top (she loves the natural dimension underneath so we leave that be)

no lightening, just a root melt + gloss to refresh 🪄
the demi
root melt: 6N + 10vol
end gloss: 10V + 9A + 10vol
when you know the rules you can break them ✨
typically you’d reach for processing liquid with paul mitchell the demi, but switching to 10vol gives me a little more coverage, better deposit, and that extra softness through the blend, especially when I want the root to feel more seamless and intentional rather than just tinted. or if i want a little more kick to my end gloss.
why i love the demi for glossing/toning:
• fades true to tone (no harsh line of demarcation)
• perfect for refreshing between blonding sessions
• adds richness and depth without commitment
• incredible for blending grays softly
• leaves the hair feeling conditioned + glossy
• customizable tones and simple to use

wow wow wow, K18 Triple Bright is a new favorite! (to use behind the chair, on my clients and myself 🤭)
i’m typically not a blonde shampoo girlie (if you ask me i opt for the masks because i don’t like how purple shampoo makes your hair feel over time and how it dulls your blonde) BUT triple bright had changed my viewpoint and they outdid themselves on this product! 👀
blondes can start looking dull between appointments from buildup, heat styling, and minerals in your water. using K18 triple bright will remove up to 3 months of brass buildup, does not stain the hair(did you see me go right to her hairline with no fear!) and defends against future brassiness.
you can use it weekly or as needed. and it’s easy to use because it’s a foam! 😍
and for my stylist friends - for the raw lift clients, finishing with this has been my favorite! 🫶🏼
grab triple bright at your next visit to .salon or if you’re a stylist 💜
