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.

Exciting News 🌿

As many of you know, part of my move to was to step into a mentorship role and help train new assistants. I’m excited to share that Palazzo and I will be welcoming a new soul to the team starting March 24th.

Please help me welcome Taylor .l_hair to the Palazzo family.

Over the next while, Taylor will be working alongside me—learning the craft, assisting with services, and growing into her role behind the chair. Mentorship is something I care deeply about, and I’m really excited to begin guiding and training the next generation of stylists. 🖤

A little about Taylor in her own words:
“I love art, music, and photography, and I enjoy combining creativity and technique to help people feel confident with their hair.”

You will start seeing Taylor during your appointments as she helps support the flow of the salon and begins her hands-on learning.

Please help me give her a warm welcome when you meet her ✨

As we move closer to spring, I’ve been taking time to reflect on what’s been working — and what hasn’t — in my business. I’ve been honouring the seasons by slowing down, resting, and making more intentional choices with my time and energy. As spring approaches we are all feeling to excitement of new beginnings and change.

I have become more selective with my schedule, my energy, and the clients I take on. As many of you know, I’ve already stepped back from colour services and I’m no longer accepting new colour clients.

All appointments are now booked exclusively through my online booking system (link in bio), where you can view availability and secure your spot. You can cancel and rebook your appointments all on Fresha via your account. I have had a lot of no shows of late and any no-shows will automatically be blocked from being able to rebook.

I’m incredibly grateful to be as busy as I am, and deeply thankful to everyone who continues to support my work.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued trust 🤍

As we move through the heart of winter, I’ve been taking time to reflect on what’s been working — and what hasn’t — in my business. I’ve been honouring the season by slowing down, resting, and making more intentional choices with my time and energy.

Because of this, I’m booking a little differently right now. I’m being more selective with my schedule, my energy, and the clients I take on. As many of you know, I’ve already stepped back from colour services and I’m no longer accepting new colour clients. I’ve also removed online booking.

I’m incredibly grateful to be as busy as I am, and deeply thankful to everyone who continues to support my work.

You may have noticed that instead of a booking link, there’s now a waitlist — one for new clients and one for existing clients. If you’re hoping to book, simply fill out the appropriate form. Each Tuesday, I review the waitlist and offer available time slots. This helps me stay organized and ensures no one gets missed. Once booked, you can still cancel or manage your appointment through Fresha as usual.

As of mid-January, I have only a few evening appointments available in March, and approximately six hours available in February (between 2–4pm).

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued trust 🤍

Grateful doesn’t even cover it.

Thank you to every client who trusted me with their hair, their stories, their nervous systems, and their becoming this year. Thank you for showing up honestly, for doing the work, and for meeting me in the depth this craft deserves.

2025 asked a lot. It clarified a lot. It closed chapters that needed to end.

I’m stepping away from Yule to January 5 to rest, recalibrate, and build what’s next — intentionally and without rushing it.

What’s coming in 2026 is deeper, clearer, and more aligned than anything I’ve done before. Hair is still the doorway. The work just goes further now.

See you January 6.

Root to crown. Inside out.

Hello my hauntingly vivacious friends,

I’m booked for the rest of 2025.
I won’t be taking anything else on — no exceptions.

I’ll be off for Yule ❄️ 🕯️ Dec 19th to January 5th to reset, rest, and prepare for the new direction my work is taking in 2026.

This next chapter is deeper, clearer, and more aligned with the transformations I’m actually here to do.

Thank you for being part of this year.
See you in 2026 — with a sharper vision and a whole new energy. 🫀✨
