120 Day Check-In! ✨

This is MY hairline recession. I thought my forehead was winning! 😅

Progress is steady and I SEE the difference. *Even after massively lightening my hair.

Over the years & currently I’ve been dealing with hypothyroid, surgeries, breast implant illness, adrenal/hormone chaos, perimenopause, COVID/vax, high stress, crap sleep, nutrient gaps, GLP-1 meds and normal aging.

The hair thinning hit me HARD!

It’s been 120 days using the IR Clinical System (shampoo, conditioner, serum) from Monat and I’m not mad about my experience at all.

The Results? It’s WORKING!!

That’s why I jumped into the MONAT business, because REAL results drive opportunity!

Thinning recession? DM me. Let’s chat solutions! 📩

I LOVE this shampoo! It’s always my first shampoo of 2 on wash day.

Why?

It cleanses my scalp really well but conditions at the same time so my scalp doesn’t feel tight or dry. All the while it’s actually balancing my scalp during that wash. It has a rosemary mint smell and totally leaves my scalp tingly - even on that first wash!

I also choose to use a conditioner when I use it.

My husband loves it too because he doesn’t like to have so many bottles ;shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body wash, etc). *This cuts down on one of his steps.

Do you use the same shampoo for both washes? Or do you change it up?

And just like that, she’s down to 1 row for Spring!

Lately I’ve been interested in sharing how my client’s hair looks when it moves, when it’s out there living life with you!

The color blend.
The layers.
The movement.

In my opinion, extensions should enhance your lifestyle, not hinder it.

If you’re looking for a North Scottsdale hair colorist & extensionist, I’m accepting new clients for April 🌷 Click the text box or send me a DM to book your consultation.

The best part of building this isn’t the income.

It’s watching another woman realize, “Wait…I can do this too.” Because some days I still get hit with that reminder!

I love helping stylists feel less alone, more supported and more open & aware to options beyond back‑to‑back appointments.

Calm, steady growth over hustle and burnout.

Do you enjoy building things alone or alongside other women?

I hear it all the time, “my hair won’t grow past a certain point”.

It took this beauty a little over 2 years but her hair has grown & recovered over that time.

If this sounds familiar, lowering the temp on your styling tools is a great place to start.

You may want to try some different products to cleanse, hydrate & protect your hair as well.

I also suggest getting some bloodwork done just to make sure your hormones, thyroid, adrenals, etc are all dialed in.
*This has been a massive component in my health & hair journey and I’m still navigating it all.

Comment “GROW” if this sounds all too familiar & you want some new product suggestions specifically for your hair and scalp.

I don’t build in survival mode anymore.

I used to push. Now I’m planning.

I used to wait and hope the month would “work out.” Now I decide early what I’m creating.

Hitting personal goals at the start of the month isn’t about ego. It’s become about peace.

It means I can lead my team calmly.
Serve my clients fully.
And grow without the undercurrent of panic & anxiety.

Structure is feminine.
Consistency is becoming powerful.
Calm is proving to be profitable.

To the women building businesses behind the chair, you don’t need more hustle. You need alignment & a plan.

What are you focused on this month — hair, income, or both?

Hi. I’m Jess.

If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been here for a while, thank you for being part of this evolution.

I create custom extensions & seamless color that grow out beautifully and protect the health of your hair & scalp.

I work from a private studio in North Scottsdale where appointments are calm, personal and never rushed.

Outside of the salon, life is simple - time with my husband, my dogs, and as much Arizona desert air as I can get.

If you’re drawn to natural, refined hair and never overdone, we’ll totally get along!

If this feels like your kind of space, my DMs are open or you’re welcome to reach out through the Text button 🤍
