A Cut Above Hair Design

Can we have a quick heart-to-heart?

Summer is hard on your hair.

Sun, swimming, lake days, vacations, hot tools...it all adds up.

If your hair feels a little rough, dry, or just isn't behaving like it normally does, you're not imagining it.

Sometimes all it needs is a little extra love.

Ask about adding a Hair Repair Mask or our Express Shine Gloss Treatment to your next appointment. They're quick, affordable little upgrades that leave your hair feeling soft, shiny, and refreshed.

Trust me...your hair will thank you.

Have you met Ashley yet?

One of my favorite things about working alongside her is how naturally she helps people feel comfortable.

She's kind, easy to talk to, and genuinely wants every guest to leave feeling confident.

If you've been trying to get on my schedule but need something sooner, or you're looking for a stylist to call your own, I'd absolutely love for you to meet Ashley.

I know you'll be in great hands. 🤍

If your bathroom counter is starting to look a little empty after a busy summer...this one's for you!

Two products I can't seem to keep on the shelves lately:

✨ Sunlights Body Volumizing Mist
🌹 Rose & Blush Shampoo & Conditioner

It's my current favorite combination for soft, healthy, full-looking hair.

And if you're getting a college student ready to head back to campus, don't forget to tuck a few salon favorites into their bags. They'll thank you later!

Stop in and stock up before they're gone again!

This transformation means so much more than beautiful hair.

When this guest first came to see me, she carried more than damaged hair—she carried the fear of trusting another stylist.

After experiencing severe chemical damage at another salon, she avoided salons altogether. And honestly? I completely understood why.

One thing I want every guest to know is this...

You'll never be pressured into a service you're unsure about.

We'll talk through your options together, be honest about what's possible, and always put the health of your hair first.

Beautiful hair should never come at the expense of healthy hair.

Thank you for trusting me with your journey. It truly means the world. ❤️

✨ If you've been putting off making an appointment because of a past salon experience, I'd love the opportunity to help you fall in love with your hair again.

Can I let you in on a little salon secret?

The clients who always have beautiful hair for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's...they don't wait until November to book.

I know it feels early (it's still August!), but once school is back in session, the fall calendar fills up FAST.

If you already know you'll want fresh color for family photos, holiday gatherings, or vacation, now is the perfect time to start thinking ahead.

Future You will be so glad you did. 🤍

✨ Hello, August! ✨

A new month, a fresh start, and we're excited for all that's ahead.

Ashley and I are looking forward to welcoming our amazing clients, creating beautiful hair, and sharing more inspiration throughout the month. Whether you're coming in for a fresh cut, color, or just a little self-care, we can't wait to see you!

Here's to a beautiful August! ☀️🤍

The biggest color trends this summer all have one thing in common: they look naturally beautiful.

✨ Warm copper tones
✨ Rich honey and golden blondes
✨ Soft, intentional sun-kissed dimension
✨ Lived-in color that grows out beautifully

We're seeing a shift away from overly bright, high-maintenance color and toward softer, warmer tones that enhance your natural beauty.

If you've been thinking about refreshing your color, this might be your sign to embrace warmth this season.

Which trend are you loving most right now: copper, warm blonde, or sun-kissed brunette?

Another trip around the sun. ☀️

Birthdays always make me pause and reflect on how grateful I am—for this career, for this salon, for my amazing clients, students, coworkers, family, and friends.

This year has brought challenges, growth, laughter, learning, and so many moments that reminded me how lucky I am to do what I love every day.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with your hair, supported my business, encouraged me, and been part of this journey.

Here's to another year of growth, gratitude, good coffee, beautiful hair, and making meaningful connections. ❤️

Did you know that some sunscreens can actually discolor blonde hair, gray hair, and hair extensions?

The ingredient to watch for is Avobenzone. When Avobenzone interacts with minerals in water, it can leave behind an orange, peach, or pink tint—especially on light-colored hair and extensions.

If you wear blonde extensions, have gray hair, or invest in dimensional color, look for mineral-based sunscreens featuring:

✔️ Zinc Oxide
✔️ Titanium Dioxide

Here are a few options we love:

💲 Budget-Friendly:
• Australian Gold Botanical Mineral Sunscreen
• Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen

💲💲 Mid-Range:
• Sun Bum Mineral SPF 30
• Thinksport Safe Sunscreen

💲💲💲 Premium:
• EltaMD UV Physical SPF 41
• Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection

Protect your skin AND your hair this summer! ☀️

Today we're celebrating Ashley! 🎉
