Finding it hard to post this month! Life is busy but I’m happy to have my hands full. I’m truly thankful for a job that keeps my mind & hands busy, it’s like being in a zen state when I’m doing hair, ifykyk!

So, what does 'lived in' hair really mean? It means you're looking at appointments every 3-4 months, as opposed to every 1-2 months. This technique has become super popular, but it does require more time in the chair.

A lived-in look typically involves highlights, lowlights, root smudge, and toner, all placed carefully for a natural, effortless look. These appointments can take around 3-4 hours, and if you have thicker hair, expect to add another hour. The results are worth it though! I like to keep my clients informed about what to expect from their appointments with me. 🖤

TONER SCARIES 👻

Even though I’ve been behind the chair since 2012, I still get a little spooked when the root smudge looks dark. But it always looks perfect after the rinse out !
