🤍 Back behind the chair next week! 🤍

After spending the last few months soaking up every moment with my babies, I’m excited to be returning next week…just in a limited capacity!

For the rest of July, I’ll be focusing on haircuts only while I get all of my haircut clients pre-booked out. My goal is to have my haircut schedule set by the beginning of August.

To all of my color clients: you should start hearing from me for scheduling around the first of August! Once my haircut schedule is in place, I’ll know exactly what color openings I have available and will begin reaching out to get everyone scheduled. Since I’ll only be taking a limited number of color appointments each week, I truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thank you all for your continued support while I’ve been home with my family. This season has been such a blessing, and I’m so excited to catch up with all of you again! 🤍

✨ Hair Update ✨

Hi everyone! I just wanted to hop on and give a little update. I believe I have reached out to most of my clients regarding my plan for returning and what my schedule will look like moving forward. If I haven’t heard back from you, I’m assuming you may no longer need a spot on my schedule. If that’s not the case, please reach out so I can make sure to keep you on my list! 🤍 *adding this is for current clients only! Clients that I have seen in the last year*

As many of you know, life looks a little different these days with two little ones at home. Because of that, I’ll be returning with a much more limited schedule than I’ve had in the past and easing back in slowly while I find a balance between work and family life.

Mondays: 8-12 & 3-5
Tuesdays: 8-12

With my schedule changing and appointment availability being much more limited, I have also made some adjustments to my pricing. These changes reflect my availability, experience, continued education, rising product costs, and the value of the time I have available behind the chair.

I know this schedule may not work for everyone anymore, and I completely understand. If you’d like to be contacted in the future when I expand my hours and services, just let me know and I’d be happy to reach back out.

Thank you all for your patience, support, and understanding during this season of life. I truly appreciate every single one of you and am so grateful for the clients who have supported me throughout the years. It means more than you’ll ever know. 🤍✨

Updated pricing will be posted below. ⬇️🦋

Client Update 🤎 Maternity Leave Scheduling

Beginning April 6th, pending how I'm feeling (or if I even make it till then), I will start scheduling cuts only for the weeks of April 6th and April 13th. These appointments will not be scheduled in advance and will instead be opened week-of.

Starting April 20th (38/39 weeks pregnant), my maternity leave will begin, whether he has arrived yet or not. I plan to be away from the salon for at least 12 weeks, which means I will be out for the summer. I will keep everyone updated as I prepare to return.

To help during my leave, I have a list of stylist recommendations and am more than happy to share color formulas so your services stay consistent while I'm away.

If you have questions, need recommendations, or would like your formula sent, please reach out before my leave begins, as I will not be responding to hair-related messages while I'm out. I truly appreciate you respecting this boundary so I can fully focus on recovery and time with my family.

*reminder, I was off work at 34 weeks with Maelee, and since I am considered high-risk right now, any of this could change at any point. The only part that is set in stone is that maternity leave will begin by April 20th at the latest*

Thank you all so much for supporting me, my family, and my business…it means more than you know. 🤍

✨ 2026 Scheduling Update ✨

As we head into 2026, I wanted to share a few important scheduling updates so everyone can plan ahead.

• January–March: I will be asking all clients to have their appointments pre booked for during this time frame.
• April: Color appointments will be scheduled closer to that month.

By the end of February, I will be 30 weeks pregnant. During my pregnancy with Maelee, I was hospitalized at 34 weeks (im currently almost 23), so I am being very mindful of that this time and prioritizing my health. Because of this, I’ll be working very minimally and taking things day by day until baby boy arrives.

We are also about to start our house addition, and Nolan’s work schedule has changed — his days off are now Sunday–Monday (as many of you know, it was previously Tuesday–Wednesday). With that change, plus adding baby appointments into the mix, I will now only be working two evenings a week.

✨ New Schedule:
• Mondays: 8–6
• Tuesdays: 8–12:30 & 3:30–6
• Wednesdays: 8–12

Evening availability will be very limited, and some evening clients may need to transition to morning appointments to get in before my leave. If this schedule change does not work for you, I completely understand and may need to refer some clients to another stylist before my maternity leave. I’m also happy to discuss referrals or sending formulas so you’re taken care of while I’m away.

I will be out on maternity leave for the summer. Mid
April- ???

One of my 2026 goals is to be more present with my family and limit social media, so I will be opening/responding to ALL hair-related messages only on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and support as I navigate this busy season and do my best to take care of my clients, my family, and myself. ❤️ You all have been with me through years and years of life changes and schedule changes and I’m so thankful for each and every one of you!!!

I will be back in the salon 1/5 and will be taking a break from all messages until the 4th! Happy New Years ❤️

🌿✨ Important Salon Update✨🌿

Hi everyone! I wanted to share some important changes that will be happening soon. Nolan’s work schedule has changed, which means my availability in the salon will be very limited moving forward.

Because of this, I’m going to need all of my color clients to be booked out 12 weeks in advance. For example, if you normally come every 4 weeks, I’ll ask that you pre-book your next 2-3 appointments before you leave the salon. Once everyone starts pre-booking out this far, if you don’t schedule before you leave, please know it could take up to 12 weeks before I can get you in. Mornings will be slightly more flexible, but evenings will be very tight, so please plan accordingly.

With the rising costs of supplies, I will also be making a small price increase to services. If you have any questions about pricing or scheduling, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to help however I can.

I wish I could accommodate everyone exactly the way I always have, but I understand these changes might not work with every schedule. I truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

Most importantly, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. So many of you have been with me for years, and your support through every season of life has meant the world to me. ❤️

Hi everyone! Just wanted to reach out as I’ve been taking a much needed break for the last few weeks from messaging/booking. Life’s been hectic as we laid our dog and bestfriend to rest, holidays and fighting sicknesses and weather. This past month has been one thing after another it seems like. 🫠 currently booking for 2025 so if I’ve missed your message please send me another!!

*still not taking new clients.

As always I appreciate every single one of you, especially for being so patient and understanding this past month. ❤️

I’ve had quite the messages since I’ve got back into posting on here and I just wanted to again share that I’m still not taking any new clients! I wish I could accommodate you all but being a mom is most important. ❤️

Current clients: I will message everyone back by tomorrow! If you don’t hear back from me please send another message!

Pics to share some pretty hair & my pretty baby! 🥰
