It had been almost exactly a year since this new mom had a fresh color in her hair!

I seriously can not wait until summer comes. I'd even be happy enough with spring finally making an entrance. So how do you make yourself feel like warm weather is here when it very clearly isn't?! Go blonder of course! Isn't that the solution to all problems?

Blonde highlights aren't the only way to get your hair ready for the spring season! Redheads and brunettes can get in on the action by adding lighter and brighter pieces of your 'dark' color. So what does that mean?!

Redheads should add a brighter version of your base color. Think coppers and strawberry tones!

Brunettes can add ribbons of soft caramel colors, or go a little more dramatic with darker blonde tones!

Concentrate the brighter pieces through the ends of your hair to give a soft subtle transition to summer hair!

Do you remember the first time you had blonde highlights put in, and the blonde felt so nice and bright and amazing? Then you kept having blonde highlights time after time. And the blonde always felt nice, but at some point you lost that magical blonde feeling?! Which sounds crazy, but my blonde ladies know what I'm talking about! So how do you get that back?!?
Leave out some dimension! The best accent for your blonde highlights is a darker color, especially when it's placed underneath the light. Whether you utilize your natural color or have darker lowlights added in, it's the thing that brings back that magical blonde feeling!

The last couple of weeks have really gotten away from me and social media definitely took the back burner. To be honest, I really didn't mind taking a break from it!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and last week was all about family for me. There are so many things to be grateful for, my kids, husband and family being my number one, as well as my work and all of my wonderful clients. After the events in Waukesha last week I hope I don't ever take anything for granted.
I'm heading into this holiday season with a renewed appreciation for everything I have, as well as an attempt to be ready for Christmas early this year (not an easy task for a procrastinator like myself!).

Wedding season is winding down and we have just a handful left for the year. This year has been such a fun wedding season and I've loved having the pleasure of styling all our brides! This coming weekend I'll be spending 3 days learning even more tips and techniques to bring to all of our 2022 brides!

Quick question: What is your hairstruggling with the most right now?
Is your hair freaking out with the seasonschanging?I know mine certainly is, and I want you to know that this issuper common!

With the change of seasons comes a change in the weather as well as a change in our routine and habits. I don't know about you, but the temperature of my morning showers has gone up drastically as of late. That, combined with the higher heat in my house and car, have been wreaking havoc on my hair!

A lot of my clients are struggling with dryscalp, frizz, dry ends, fly-aways, etc. I want to make sure that I’m creating posts that help you and your hair!

Let me know what yourhair struggles are, and how I can help you through them!

Have you started getting ready for Christmas yet?! Honestly, I am the world's biggest procrastinator and usually wait until the last minute. All I hear about right now is that shipping is delayed and there are shortages of so many things!

Guess what had no shipping and isn't delayed?! Gift cards to your local businesses! Gift card purchases can be made all via email, so you don't even have to leave your house. Message today if you'd like to check someone off of your Christmas list!

How often do you get your hair cut? Are you trying to maintain a certain length and like to have an appointment every two months, or do you just wait until you can't remember the last cut you had, so you figure maybe it's time?! Have you ever been told how often you should be getting a haircut?!

Here's an easy guide-

* Pixie or short hair ---> 4 to 6 weeks.
* Shoulder length and above ---> 6 to 8 weeks.
* Longer than shoulders ---> 2 to 3 months.
"But what if I'm trying to grow my hair longer. Then what should I do?" You still need to get regular trims!! Every time you get your hair colored, or atleast every 4 months!

I'm curious what type of person you are?! Imaginethis, you wake up with only enough time to doONE of these to be ready for the day:

A.) Dry shampoo, run my fingers through my hair and maybe try to throw it in a bun.

B.) I'm not leaving the house without myeyebrows done!

C.) I'm taking the world's quickest shower, airdrying my hair, and hoping for the best.

D.) I'll leave in my PJs as long as I can make a cupof coffee first.

I think I might choose option D, although I would maybe try and switch from my PJs to sweats!

What are your hair goals? Are you looking for something drastic and high maintenance? Or do you want something natural and subtle, so you only have to get your hair done every three months?!
There are so many options for your hair! I would love to sit down with you to go over and figure out what look you're going for and the maintenance required to keep those goals in check!
