The worst part about winter is not getting after pictures in natural light because it’s too dark. Imagine how gorgeous this hair looks in this picture is actually 10x prettier in real life.

In desperate need of getting your color done and want to distract from it? Braids. Dirty hair and need a style that won’t look extra greasy? Braids. Love random strangers complementing your hair? Braids.

Hi Facebook friends! I just wanted to write a post specifically to you because often I am writing to Instagram and just reposting it here.

I’m here to share with you that Instagram allows me to be more creative and share more things with you than Facebook does, so if you don’t follow me there I would highly encourage you to! I not only showcase my work, but I also do short video tutorials for you to be inspired on how to do your daily styles.

You may also get a glimpse of my daily life highlighted in my stories if you wanna get to know me a little better. 🥰

I am fully aware that everyone doesn’t have Instagram so I will continue to share something here as well.

Have a wonderful day!
Danielle

Promise I will get back to fun tutorials soon! Life has been a bit on the crazy side so my hair has mostly been in a messy bun (if you’ve had an appointment in the last 2 months you know 😅). Anyway, enjoy yet another portfolio picture. I’ll be back soon. 💕

I realized I never shared this beauty’s new do. Of course I didn’t get a before picture. 🙄 She is not a natural redhead! We did a full highlight and tone to give her this look and I must say, it is PERFECT on her.

Doing something a little different and adding albums of my work. Enjoy these blondes!

✨Hey, that’s me!✨

I saw my fabulous former boss to get my hair done and it was much needed! Both for my hair and for my soul. 💕 Bridget is such an inspirational person using her talents not only to make her clients’ hair beautiful, but also to make her employees empowered. I missed my salon mama!

I’m calling this blonde “vanilla”. I wanted to be brighter and she nailed it! I’m all ready for vacation! 🏖✈️

Where did you/will you vacation this year??

✨Did you know you’re not the only blonde that turns brassy?✨

In fact, all blondes do eventually! Our hair absorbs so much from the world around us no matter our hair color—blondes just show it!

You can maintain your blonde a little better by using a good clarifying shampoo to help rid it of all the impurities that can cause discoloration. Use this once a week or once every 3-4 washes.

The second thing to do to maintain your blonde is a purple shampoo and/or conditioner once a week or every 3-4 washes. Why? Because purple is the opposite of yellow on the color wheel so they cancel each other out! But why only once a week? Purple shampoos and conditioners are pigmented and if used too often they can make your blonde look a little dull.

What else do you wanna know about being a blonde?

When I tell you this partial was PERFECTION! The camera just does not do it justice. Remember how I said I’m over balayage, just give me full foils from now on? I’ve moved on. Just give me partials that leave with a 💥BANG💥

For any stylist curious:
Eufora color
Lifted highlights to level 8-9.
Toner: 15g-8.73 + 15g-8.32 + chocolate chip-8.2 + 7vol.

✨What is BRONDE?✨

The hair world loves mashing words together. 😂 Foiliage, lob or in this case: bronde.

Brunette + blonde = bronde

This is a great thing to ask for for those of you who want the over all look of your hair to still be brunette, but want the fun of a balayage or highlight!

Thank goodness for coming back into my life. 😅 This was a fun transformation! Of course I forgot a before picture, but that’s what happens when you get too excited to transform.

💛Hello dear clients! 💛

I wanted to share with you all that come July 1st you will notice some of my prices increasing.

This will happen for 2 reasons:

1. As we are all well aware, the price of living keeps going up and up (and up and up and up…). Sadly, this means the cost of product (among other things) has gone up as well.

2. Most of you know I am currently sharing the salon suite I am in which I have been so thankful for as I was getting started, but the truth is that as my business grows (which it really has been thanks to you all!) I am finding it more and more cramped in that space so it is almost time to get my own suite!

Which services will increase and by how much?

The two services that will increase the most will be full foils/balayage and keratin treatments. I am finding for these two services the amount of product and time I spend on them isn’t making sense when I crunch the numbers. As for how much, I have not fully committed to an amount, but just know I’m doing my best to figure out what will still work for you and me both! Once everything is officially adjusted, you will be able to see the new pricing on my website.

There will be a couple small adjustments as well such as you will still get a blow dry that comes with your haircut, but there will be a small extra charge for hot tools (having it curled or flat ironed afterward).

This post is already getting long so I don’t want to give you every small detail, but it’s important me to be totally transparent with you about the behind the scenes! You all are so sweet and loyal to me and I want to show you the same respect in return.

Please feel free to reach out to me personally with any questions or concerns. I’m always happy to chat!

Thank you for being the best clients everrrrrr!

✨Let the birthday weekend begin! ✨

I’m getting my hair done tomorrow by someone else for the first time in a while. 😂 (shout out to .katlin )

Would you like to see a video blog about this hair adventure? Maybe it would be fun to see me in your shoes for a change.

Also, what are some birthday things I shouldn’t miss out on??

Keep these blondes coming. I could do this all day. Forget the balayage y’all. Let’s bring back these full foils. 😍

Do you prefer a balayage or a full foil look? Do you know the difference?

With a balayage you tend to get more dimension which gives a sort of darker all over look as opposed to a full foil where you will be 💥 bam 💥 blonde.

That being said, if your natural base is pretty light anyway, a balayage will probably be an all over blonde kind of look unless you have some low lights added!

✨My office today✨⁣
⁣
I thought maybe it’s time to give you a little life/business update because you all have been on this journey with me and I’d love to keep you included in my plans and growth. ⁣
⁣
There are 2 goals for the next 6 months (hopefully less): put Ayo in daycare and move into my own suite. ⁣
⁣
We have been waiting to put my son in daycare until the salon picks up enough that it makes sense to put him in.⁣
⁣
Excitingly, this goal should be reached very soon! This will provide me not only more time in the salon, but also more time create tutorials and content for you guys which is amazing! ⁣
⁣
That brings us to goal #2. As most of you know, I rent a suite 3 days a week from someone who rents a suite. That’s not confusing at all. 😅⁣
⁣
I also see the goal of moving to my own space being reached in the next few months and I can’t wait to announce that update! (Please keep an eye out for this update so you know to come to the right place once I move!) This will provide me a lot more flexibility with you guys when it comes to scheduling and such. 🙌🏼 ⁣
⁣
So, I really, really appreciate those of you who have been faithful clients the last few months and referred your friends and family. It’s changing my world for the better. To you, you just found a new hairdresser but to me you’re making my career dreams come true. 💕 ⁣

✨This is a full balayage✨⁣
⁣
I think we usually think of a full balayage as being very blonde so I just wanted to put this gorgeous, dimensional brunette out there! ⁣
⁣
It really brightened up her look and gave so much dimension, complimenting her layered haircut perfectly! ⁣
⁣
This could be a great option for you if your brown hair is feeling flat and boring 😑 ⁣

✨Do you feel like your hair has no style and you always end up pulling it up?✨⁣
⁣
We brought a little sass and s***k to this client’s life and I am totally here for it! ⁣
⁣
If you wish you would take the time to style your hair so you look more put together, a short haircut could be right for you! ⁣
⁣
It’s true, short hair FORCES you to style it because throwing it up in a messy bun isn’t an option. That can be the down side of it, or it can totally be an up side! If your New Years resolution was to up your style game and put more effort into yourself maybe it’s what you need. 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
Would you do a big chop? Why or why not? 👇🏼⁣

I hope you all enjoy your St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow and please stay safe! Just because you’re Irish for one day doesn’t mean you can handle alcohol any differently. 😬⁣

✨Have you ever had a root smudge?✨⁣
⁣
As most of us know, a toner is what neutralizes the unwanted pigments in the hair after you have lightened it. ⁣
⁣
But did you know a root smudge not only blurs that warm line you can get right after foiling but also makes your grow-out wayyy softer and less noticeable? Who doesn’t like less maintenance?🙌🏼 ⁣
⁣
The root smudge is the same product as a toner, it’s just that a darker level is used to help blend your natural color into your blonde. ⁣
⁣
It can also be called a root tap, shadow root or color melt. These are all slightly different variations of the same thing. ⁣
⁣
So who needs a good shadow root in their lives?⁣

👇🏼 Some of my most recent salon owner thoughts 👇🏼⁣
⁣
Something people always like to ask you as a stylist is what your favorite service to do is. The truth is I have been in this industry for 8 years and never really quite knew the answer to that. ⁣
⁣
It wasn’t until I start this venture out on my own and I really started promoting myself that I started realizing my favorite things. I only discovered my favorite things because I started noticing the things I was promoting the most. ⁣
⁣
Turns out highlighting is a favorite. Any kind. Full foil, balayage, bleach out. I want to see that total transformation. I want to have to use my brain and think about exactly where that foil should be placed to give you the best outcome. Should I tease it? Slice it? Weave it? ⁣
⁣
I guess it’s become a fav because it’s where I feel the most creative. ⁣
⁣
Thanks to all who have been a part of my journey so far! Whether I worked with you fresh out of school, you’re a client that stuck with me for years, a new client that gave me a chance, someone who shared my content or someone who told their friends to come see me. I appreciate you all! ⁣
