Busy behind the chair means my “dishes” get neglected… and apparently, they’ve started building their own tower. 😂🙈

Beautiful hair, happy clients, and a growing pile of color bowls. Just a little behind-the-scenes salon reality!

So thankful you’re keeping me busy… now, who’s coming to help with the dishes? 😂💚

A little handwritten card that made my whole day. 🥹💚

I received this sweet thank-you from one of my brides, and it means so much to me. Knowing she felt cared for from our first conversations to her trial and wedding morning is such a wonderful reminder of why I love what I do.

Creating beautiful hair is part of it, but helping a bride feel comfortable, confident, and at ease along the way means just as much.

To my sweet bride, thank YOU for trusting me and taking the time to write such thoughtful words. Being part of your wedding morning was a privilege, and this little card is a keeper. 💚

I’m always asked which hair products and tools I recommend, so I’ve started putting together a list of my favorites! I’ll be adding more of my most used products and professional tools soon, but here’s a start. ✂️

⭐A little honest hairstylist disclaimer: whenever possible, I recommend purchasing professional shampoo and hair products directly through your stylist (me!) or an authorized beauty retailer. That allows me to help you choose exactly what your hair needs, and products sold through third-party Amazon sellers may not always come from a source I can verify.

That being said, I know that many of my clients already use Amazon for nearly half of their everyday purchases! So, for those who prefer the convenience, I created a list of products and tools I personally use, love and recommend.

I’d love for you to shop my Hair Favorites list—and keep checking back as I add more! 💚

👉& if you dont see something that you need, please reach out and let me know whats going on, ill be happy to help!

Seeing these photos from the new Mrs. Ruiz made my heart so happy.

I absolutely loved being part of her wedding morning, it honestly felt like I was in a movie!

Everyone had a different accent, and the entire group was so comical, hilarious and genuinely fun to be around. I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in a long time! 😂🤍

It was such an honor to help bring her bridal-hair vision to life. She looked absolutely stunning!

A very exciting piece of mail arrived! 😍✨

I just received the newest issue of WeddingDay Magazine and seeing my work featured in print after being part of this summer’s Detroit cover shoot feels absolutely surreal!

I embraced the moody vision of the Detroit Spring/Summer 2026 digital issue cover shoot with an intricate updo featuring layered, twisted details and a few soft, cascading curls. I’m incredibly grateful to have been included alongside such a talented team of wedding professionals! 🤍

If this chair could talk, it could tell so many stories.

Reflecting on my day and my clients today has me feeling some type of way. 🥹💚

Some of you sit in this chair just days before giving birth, before a surgery, the evening before leaving for vacation, while getting ready for your son’s wedding, after returning from a special trip, before the first day of school or before spending the next couple of months in a tree stand. 😂

You share so many meaningful moments of your lives with me, and somewhere along the way, so many of you have become more like family than clients.

We laugh together. We cry together. We vent about life. We celebrate the good, work through the hard and talk about everything in between.

Yes, I get to do your hair but the greatest privilege is getting to brighten your day, help you feel good about yourself and see your smile in this mirror.

You are all rockstars, and I’m incredibly thankful for every moment you choose to spend in my chair for however long I’m lucky enough to have you in it. 💚

I know I haven’t listed every special moment we’ve shared, there’s no way I possibly could! BUT!!! If you’ve sat in my chair and shared a meaningful moment with me, and you’re comfortable revisiting it, I’d love for you to leave it in the comments. It doesn’t have to be a long story, even one word that reminds me of the moment will do! 🥹

💚- AB

Messages like this make my day! 🥹🤍

Healthy hair doesn’t stop when you leave the salon. The right products and a simple at-home routine can make such a difference!

I love helping my clients find products that work for their hair and seeing them feel the results. Thank you for trusting my recommendations! 🌿

⬇️⬇️⬇️
Is your hair feeling dry, damaged or in need of a little extra love?
Id be happy to help you find the right products for you!

That’s one way to make me save money! 😂💵

I don’t think I’ve EVER seen this many $2 bills together at one time. Client tipped me and now, I feel like I can’t spend them because they feel too special. 🤣

Too bad my kids are past the Tooth Fairy stage… I would’ve been SET for years! 🦷🧚‍♀️💸
