Waves and curls love dimension! Did you know that dimensional color(varying tones) showcases your curls and waves?

Yup! Adding dimension helps to show movement (great for bulky textures!) - adds visual interest (kicks color boredom!) - and let’s your natural texture truly show up and shine!

Dimension really is a wavy/curly girl’s friend!

Behind the scenes peek at my other work day…office day! You won’t find me in the salon working with a guest…instead you will find me at a desk working on all of the things that help me to be the best for my guests!

This office day focus…curl specialist education. Fueled and made possible by Creation Coffee, so happy they are in Saginaw now too! If you haven’t happened by there yet, it’s worth the trip(and the Oatmilk Hazelnut Latte is delicious)!

It’s those little extra somethings that make an experience a little extra special. I love offering my guests the little extras that help to make their visit more comfortable, fun, refreshing, and renewing.

Thirsty? Gotcha covered. Hungry? I’ve got the sweet, the salty…all of the snacks! Sore back? I have a pillow for that;) Running low and need a charge? I have those too!

Amenities like these(and I have more up my sleeve!) help to create a salon experience like none other, and I love doing that for you!

Without a doubt, arriving with hair pics that inspire you are a major consult tool that helps us work together to create the best cut and color design for you. But often this task of finding hair inspo can be daunting! I’m here to de-mystify and simplify your hair inspo search…my easy 3 for what to look for for the best inspiration pictures:

Texture like yours! Fine look for fine, curly look for curly, etc.

Similar! Looking for a cut…look for haircuts on your hair color. Looking for a new color…look for new colors on your haircut!

Start with YOU! The absolute best way to narrow down inspiration is to start with visuals of you, when you loved all or parts of your hair or color!

Using these 3 tricks will help you to find inspiration pictures more easily, stress free, and will help us to achieve more realistic goals!

Time for change! This design was inspired by the changing season, a spring getaway, and the promise of warmer days! Helping my guests bridge the gap from their fall and winter looks to their brighter spring and summer versions starts way before spring arrives!

What goes into those planning sessions and inspires what we do?

Inspo pics- dreaming for near future and beyond gives us time to make those bigger color changes, or really reach those length goals.

Lifestyle- Do you want to wear your up this summer? Grow the bangs out to fit them in that ponytail? Upcoming trip or event? Looking at how your hair will work for you is a big piece of the inspiration and planning puzzle.

For my beautiful brunette Becky, we started working on her seasonal shift this winter by toning down her mulberry fall color in prep for the warm caramel and butterscotch dimension she wants to achieve by summer. By using inspo photos, and taking into account her upcoming adventures and summer hair goals, we were able to come up with a custom plan to get her there!

As a creative, and a life-long learner, I am always on the pursuit for inspiration! Sometimes it finds me…sometimes I have to go find it!

Where I go for inspo:

Nature, the seasons inspire the vibe we want to create, and spark the excitement of change!

Educators, I have a couple of favorite mentors who I know I can always look to, to inspire me to level up my skills to bring my guests’ the best!

YOU! Working with my guests each and every day helps me to see what you need, want, like, and struggle with. This is the ultimate inspiration for me to find color, cut and styling solutions for you!

“My hair won’t ever look this good again”…“If only I had you with me every morning!” Sound familiar? My guess is yes!

That’s exactly why my guest experience has evolved over time, to focus on the need to not just do it for you, but equip you…to recreate your look at home and to build your hair confidence.

Leaving the salon with gorgeous hair is great, but knowing you have the tools and know-how to tackle it yourself is the BEST! Interested in a next level guest experience, that equips you for your best hair days? Start our digital consultation today by clicking Learn More above!

A lot happens before I step into the salon, and heck before I step foot out of the house! There are 2 ways I kickstart my days…coffee and quiet!

There must be COFFEE. I like a good bold brew, black, and preferably in my favorite Michigan Starbucks mug.

I NEED a few moments of quiet before everyone else wakes up. On an ideal day I take these few minutes to do a daily devotion. Seeing Beautiful by Lisa Terkeurst is a beautiful book (it is very pretty!) that I was gifted from a sweet friend, and helps me to start my heart and day on the right foot.

How do you kickstart your day?

What’s better than a big before and after? When that big chop results in a big blessing to someone else!

My amazing client Mary came in for her visit with a “today is the day” mindset. After months of leaving it and loving it long, she was ready for the big cut, and ready to pass that blessing on.

She has an amazing head of hair, and whoever receives hers will be a very lucky person! She has chosen to donate to my favorite organization, Maggie Wigs 4 Kids, a Michigan non-profit making wigs to give to children in need!

Can you keep a secret? Today I’m spilling the tea…on GRAY! I won’t name names, but let’s just say…the majority of my guests come to me because they have gray!

Scrolling my posts you will see lots of beautiful hair and smiling faces…what you don’t see is harsh outgrowth lines, flat, artificial, opaque or monotone color.

Creating dimensional, effortless, and radiant color so natural and effortless that you can’t quite tell who my gray girls are, now that’s my secret!

I love getting to see you. I look forward to our visit, catching up on you, your family and your life…especially if it’s been awhile!

So don’t get me wrong, I LOVE to see you in my chair…but…I also love it when you can go weeks or months without needing to see me. That’s the power of dimensional, lived-in color! It allows you to stretch and extend the life of your gray coverage color or blonding session to look natural and effortless longer.

I do love to see you, but I also love giving you a color design that works with your busy life!

You don't need me to tell you that change is a powerful thing. Sure, change can be big and scary, but it can also be small and subtle...and still make a big impact!

My super sweet guest Kerri is changing it up with a small (but mighty) change, growing into a curtain fringe! It has been just the subtle style shake-up that she needed to get thru the "kinda bored but can't commit to cutting it all off...yet" phase.

Just a small, not-so-scary change with big rewards. Happier hair days, no more haircut rut, and doesn't she look darling?!

When National Sons Day and birthday week collide...you celebrate both! Happy Birthday to my baby (yes, he's 9...not a baby anymore)! And in honor of all sons and the brave souls that raise them...Happy Sons Day! #letshearitfortheboys

Wanna know a little secret about dimension? It's often less about what you add in, and more about what you leave behind!

Working with your old highlights, naturally lighter ends or simply by not glossing over everything, we are able to use what you have to create custom, dimensional color! This is one of my favorite "hacks" to help my guests get the most value out of their color experience!
