EST. 1849 Salon & Spa

✨ A New Chapter for EST. 1849 ✨

To my incredible clients, community, and extended EST. 1849 family — I want to share an exciting update from the heart.

As I step into a phenomenal new opportunity as Lead Spa Operator with Life Time Fitness, my role is expanding in a wider, more impactful way — one that allows me to lead, mentor, and serve on a broader level while still staying rooted in what I love most.

Because of this shift, EST. 1849 will be placing client services on a limited schedule, with availability one dedicated day per week. This allows me to continue sharing my passion, artistry, and love for this craft in a meaningful and intentional way — while also honoring my family, my health, and the bigger purpose unfolding in this season.

One of the greatest blessings right now is having my family and kids settled together in one place, under one roof, with consistency, routine, and peace. This opportunity also brings stability and placement with my new company, creating space to be present — not pulled in a hundred directions.

✨ What this means for EST. 1849:
This isn’t an ending — it’s an evolution.
The heart of EST. 1849 is shifting toward a non-profit, Confidence Giveback approach, allowing us to impact others beyond the chair through outreach, education, and confidence-building initiatives.

This season allows me to balance it all — creativity, leadership, family, health, and service — and I’m incredibly grateful for every client and supporter who has walked this journey with me.

Thank you for the continued love, understanding, and support. I’m stepping into this chapter with peace, clarity, and excitement for what’s ahead.

Stay tuned… there’s so much more to come. 🤍

With gratitude,
Cynthia
Founder, EST. 1849

✨ Postpartum Glow

We focused on brightening and softening with a full Foilayage application paired with fine babylights for seamless dimension. We added a light trim to maintain healthy ends and incorporated soft, face-framing layers to bring movement back into her shape.

A smooth, polished style finished the look — the perfect pick-me-up for any Momma navigating that postpartum season and needing a little confidence recharge. 💕

✨ Mom & Daughter Transformation Duo! ✨

Nothing beats a full-on beauty day with two of our girls — our old neighbors who became instant family and my kiddos’ little besties. 🥹💕

This was pure magic in the chair — because the princess got to cut BOTH her hair and her momma’s hair. Let me tell you… she took that job VERY seriously. 😂✂️

Momma got a full color makeover with those peek-a-boo red touches that pop just right when the light hits. 🔥
And our little queen got her own chop, a fun burst of color, and the biggest smile ever to match her new look. 👑🎨

Mom & daughter salon bonding?
Elite. Iconic. 10/10 would recommend. 💚

These are the moments that make the chair feel like home — full of trust, giggles, and memories you couldn’t recreate if you tried.

Cheers to new hair, new memories, and two beauties shining bright together. ✨

✨ First-Time Highlight Glow! ✨

Nothing better than giving a younger client her very first highlights!
We kept it soft, bright, and sun-kissed with fine babylights and a seamless melt.
Simple, natural, and confidence-boosting — just the way it should be. 💫

Full heavy highlight on dark natural hair
Multi-tonal blonde placement
Soft honey + cool champagne ribbons for dimension

This is controlled lift, strategic foiling, and a smooth melt from root to ends.

💗 Full Momma Transformation Alert! 💗

When a new client walks in referred by one of our longtime favorites — you know it’s about to be a good day in the chair! ✨

Five hours.
A full head bleach balayage.
A pink takeover that turned into a full-on pure pigment color correction masterpiece.

When I asked what inspired her bold new look, she smiled and said,

“With my three girls, I love to make the statement — it doesn’t matter what people think or say. Just do what you want and express yourself, no matter what judgment is made.”

🔥 And honestly… if that isn’t both a statement and a service, I don’t know what is! 🔥

Here’s to every momma out there showing her girls what confidence and self-expression really look like. 💕
