Halloween is almost here, and I know what you’re thinking — “It’s just for one night! What’s the harm in a little temporary color?”

Cue the horror movie music. 😱

Hey Tampa community! I had the pleasure of meeting Spunky this past weekend and she is a SWEETIE 🥹 💞 I’m kinda shocked she didn’t get scooped up at the big adoption event.
If you’re in the market for a furry BFF, go check her out & give her a treat for me!

Meet Spunky – the playful water-loving sweetheart! 🐾

This 3-year-old cutie arrived as a stray in mid-May, and she’s been winning hearts ever since. True to her name, Spunky is fun, playful, and always ready for an adventure.

✨ What makes Spunky special?
🐾 Social with other dogs in playgroups
🐾 Loves pool time & water games 💦
🐾 Treat motivated & knows how to “sit” 🐶
🐾 A mix of playful energy and sweet affection
🐾 Big fan of pup cups (Starbucks run, anyone? ☕🐾)

She may be a little shy at first, but once she warms up, Spunky shows her goofy, affectionate side—complete with kisses, wiggles, and tail wags. 💕

Come see some adorable adoptable pets…and me! I’ll be there for my first official volunteer shift! 🧡🐾🧡

Swing by tomorrow! 🌞

📍Join us for the Tail Waggin' Summer Adoption Event Saturday, Aug. 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

All adoption fees will be waived and all pets are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

So, what are you waiting for? Meet your newest family member this Saturday. 🐕❤️

From Sun-In ☀️ to sun-kissed 💋

This client had been using Sun-In to lighten her naturally light hair, but was ready for a change.

Sun-In use has the potential to SEVERELY DAMAGE your hair, especially if highlights are put directly on top of it!
*** (This is why you should ALWAYS tell your hairdresser about any and all things you’ve previously done to your hair - kudos to this client for offering the info before I even asked! 👍)***

To mitigate this, we went through a series of prepping and post-lightening treatments to ensure that her hair stayed strong, healthy and ON HER HEAD (always my first goal! 😅)
