Your hair should fit your real life — not just your Pinterest board.

Low maintenance life?
Your hair should grow out soft, blend easy, and not stress you out between appointments.

Busy schedule?
You need a look that still hits even when it’s been weeks.

Love a routine + self-care rituals?
Go ahead — high maintenance can be your thing because you’ll actually maintain it.

Tight budget?
Your colour, cuts, and extensions should be planned with longevity in mind — not constant upkeep.

Because the truth is…
The best hair isn’t just what looks good in the chair —
it’s what still works for you 2, 4, 8 weeks later.

Good hair = alignment. Not pressure.

Save this as your reminder before your next appointment ✨

No one talks about this enough…

You can be talented, creative, and passionate —
but if you’re hard to work with, people will stop pouring into you.

In a salon, your reputation is built in the small moments:
– how you ask for help
– how you take feedback
– how you handle stress
– how you speak about others when they’re not around

This industry is built on mentorship, trust, and energy.

The stylists who grow the fastest aren’t just “the best at hair” —
they’re coachable, consistent, and easy to be around.

Did you know that your hair changes with the seasons and so does what it needs and requires? As winter is fading and Spring is here, it’s time to reset your hair.
Clarifying, changing your products and even getting a healthy clean up could be what your hair needs.

This is going to make some people mad.
I’m your hair artist,
not your therapist.
I don’t like being called a “hairapist.”
It minimizes what real therapy is and the impact it has.
And it places a weight on service providers that we didn’t agree to carry.
Lately, I’ve been seeing more and more burnout in this industry.
And a big part of that comes from an unspoken expectation:
that we provide not only a physical service…
but an emotional one too.
Hair. Nails. Tattoos.
We are here to create, to care, to hold space within reason.
Now let me be clear—
what I do is healing.
I’ve been part of so many transformations,
so many new chapters,
so many moments where someone is becoming themselves again.
I even offer services intentionally designed for that kind of release and reset. ( If you need them book them.)
But there is a difference between sharing…
and trauma dumping.
Sharing is human.
Connection is welcome.
If you’re going through something heavy, and you tell me—
I will hold you in that moment.
I will soften the space.
I will remind you of yourself.
But trauma dumping—
especially without awareness, timing, or consent—
crosses a line.
We are still people.
We are still working.
And we don’t have the option to step away mid-service.
Before you share something deeply heavy, ask yourself:
Is this the right space?
Is this the right moment?
Is this the right person?
And if you’re unsure, just ask:
“Hey, I want to share something a bit heavy—do you have the capacity for that right now?”
Consent matters.
In every space.
Most of us truly care.
We want to be part of your growth, your healing, your becoming.
Just remember—
we can’t carry it for you.
🖤
I’d love to have your opinion on this.

While cutting your hair with the moon isn’t a new concept , in the East it is a very common practice in many places. This particular service that I call Lunar Cuts🌛was the first holistic + witchy offer I built 3years ago .

Creating a ritualistic setting for clients to shed off negative energy as well as give their hair a reset. Depending on the the position of the moon will determine the energy you are drawing in.

This is a great service to book especially since we are in spring aka mother natures new year. This energy is charged with shedding the old and manifestating the new.
I have time in the next few weeks for this service. 🌛

36 chapters completed.
If 16 year old Sam could see me now she would be amazed. She would be excited and in shock of who we are.
If 26 year old Sam could see me she would cry because she would know it would all be ok and that we made it.

I hope that 46 year old Sam gets to look back and say we were just getting started.

Cheers to being a success for 16 yr old me
Cheers to being strong enough to survive 26 yr old me.
Cheers 🥂 to choosing to live life.
