✨ That’s right. This is not a drill. With a heavy heart, but with absolute knowing in every fiber of my being, I am officially retiring from the hair industry and closing my salon as of 8/23/2025.

To my clients, supporters, and even my haters 🤣… thank you. You’ve been with me through nearly a decade behind the chair, and I will miss our appointments, conversations, and laughs more than words can express.

This decision was not easy, but it is one that deeply aligns with the future I want to create for myself and my family. I’m leaving the hair industry to pursue a new career in real estate, a path that fits best for both my personal growth and my family’s needs.

A few important notes:
🤍 All appointments are currently cancelled for the foreseeable future.
🤍 If you’d like stylist recommendations, reach out! I’ll happily share referrals, formulas, placements, and everything we’ve done together to make the transition as smooth as possible.
🤍 Please respect this decision and treat me with the same love and kindness I’ve poured into you all over the last decade.

It’s been a wild few years, and I will miss you all dearly. Thank you for trusting me, supporting me, and letting me be a part of your lives, you crazy peeps. 💇🏼‍♀️✨

— With so much love, Whitney

I love you forever 🩶

forever mine · beachside love · wild hearts · sun-kissed moments · coastal romance · effortless beauty · lived-in love · tangled up in you · wind, waves & us · soft strands, strong love

My name is Whitney and I’m really glad to meet you ✨
You’re recommended to me based on your hair goals 🤌🏻

2 1/2 rows of extensions and a FULL COLOR for my gal who didn’t want to be: too blonde, too dark, too warm, too cool, too layered, too flat, too dimensional, too one color, too heavy, too thin 🥲 I love you guys lol. Mission accomplished 🫡

A hot new bombshell has entered the villa 🏝️✨

Vanilla blonde. The blonde of 2025: because nothing says ‘I have my life together’ like having sun-kissed hair and pretending summer isn’t melting us all alive. ☀️🥲

Might start posting again to let yall know I still do hair. Who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sometimes I’m so good at my job, I shock myself 🤷🏼‍♀️

Brought this Blondie ✨ to a Brunette 🤎 the other day. Andddd added 2 rows of extensions to give her ALL the length of course 💁🏼‍♀️

How many guesses to figure out how long her natural hair is? The world may never know 🌎 🦉 🍭

2 1/2 rows for 24” Hand-Tied Extensions for this gal.

When you tell me your hair is going to be a project and this is the outcome I give you 👌🏻 (swipe right for before)
Full highlight + lowlight, root melt, color balance/bleach wash, tone and cut for this gorgeous gal 💫
PRO TIP: for my newbie hairstylists or Stylists just getting into color.. When you have more than 4” of new growth you HAVE to do a combo of both highlights + lowlights to get the hair to blend and not have a harsh line where the new root growth ends. Your lowlights should alternate ending 1/2 way through the hair and 3/4 of the way through the hair for someone who wants to be really blonde. And 3/4 of the way and ALL the way through the hair for someone who wants to be really dimensional.

You do this hair when they;
Want to not be blonde, but also not brown.
Want dimension, but not crazy panels.
Want a root, but not too much.
Want beige hair, but not too gold or ashy.
Want long hair, but want it to have movement like short hair.
Want extensions so it’s long, but placement so it’s easy to maintain.
Checked off all the boxes baby 📦 ✅
2 1/2 rows of hand tied wefts. And a full color transformation for this babe 🖤

When they say no one’s ever been able to give them the messy layered hair they want 🤌🏻 I’ve literally been loving the “messy” not so “technically perfect” cuts recently 🖤
