Shear Texture by Stephanie Holle

20 pictures to say goodbye to August.
Crazy to think summer is almost over! We spent so much time outside this year. Fulfilled a dream of my husbands. Watched our babies race. Took our family on our first vacation just the four of us and the kids got to experience the beach. Did all the back to school appointments and somehow the first day of school was here before we knew it! My mother in law retired!!! And then our team defended their state championship title for a four peat!
Summer was so much fun but I’m a little ready to have routine back in our lives and be back behind the chair more creating beautiful hair and spending time with my favs!

One of the biggest misconceptions about transformations is that they have to be dramatic.

Some of the most impactful transformations I’ve ever done involved small, thoughtful changes.

A better haircut.
A richer color.
More dimension.
Sometimes subtle changes create the biggest shift in confidence.

One of my favorite things about transformation appointments is that they usually start with one simple sentence.
“I think I’m ready for something different.”

Not because someone wants to become a different person.
Because they’re ready for their hair to reflect who they are now.

Sometimes I do funky stuff. My niece wanted two red peekaboos to kick off her sophomore year. Definitely not my normal service but it was a fun one!

One of the biggest misconceptions about brunette hair is that dimension is only for blondes.
Brunette hair comes alive when light and depth work together.
Those subtle variations are what create movement and keep the color from looking flat.

As summer winds down, it’s the perfect time to check in with your hair.
Does it still feel healthy?
Is the tone where you want it?
Are your ends feeling their best?
Sometimes a small refresh now sets your hair up beautifully for the season ahead.

There’s a difference between blonde that’s simply light…
…and blonde that looks expensive.

Expensive-looking blonde has dimension.
Healthy shine.
And tone that complements your skin instead of competing with it.



Those little details make all the difference.

One thing I’ve learned about blonde hair is that healthy blonde will always outshine overprocessed blonde.

Anyone can chase lighter.

The real magic is creating blonde that still feels soft, shiny, and touchable after months of summer fun.

That’s the kind of blonde worth investing in.

She said “do whatever you want”
I said “say less”

Went and added more dimension and made our blonde a smidge warmer and darker and chopped some.
I love when yall put your trust me in me. ♥️

Little photo dump of July completely non-work related. ♥️

We got some steps in. Visited the farmers market. Celebrated the 4th with some of our favorites. Rode bikes. Got our brace to keep us stable till surgery. Went to the lake. Repotted some plants.
I love this little life. ♥️♥️
