Slowing down but not falling behind.
Ive learned this over and over again in life and motherhood. Slowing down doesnt mean falling behind. The slow down gives the energy you need to be you again. More present, patient, and content.

0 guilt. 0 resentment.

Give me 2.5 hours and ill show you how 😉.

Partial foil of high and low lights for this pretty golden blonde.

Come along on a typical morning at the salon with me.
I am and early bird so my first appointment is usually 830 or 9am.

I always have a million bags when i come in🤪

Always clean before my client.. somehow hair manifests itself overnight. Fold laundry and get set up for the first client.

Coffee.

First client at 9am is a color correction. She has been box dying her hair her whole life. Had brassy roots, light ends and some gray regrowth. I did a partial foil of high and low lights. Toning out a lot of the orange color and brightening pieces in areas she had a lot of gray. It came out so beautiful and took 2.5 hours.

Now i am running off to eat a quick lunch with my daughter and pick her up(it is break week!!) then come back for me next client.

Typical day in the life of a mom/business owner with a child on school break lol.

Complete service breakdown👇
I get a lot if questions on “what should I book”. I am always happy to help but here is the guide to make you feel confident booking online to save you time. .

A couple tips:
90 percent if my clients get partial highlights always! A partial covers everything you see and leaves beauiful dimension. The only time i recommend a full highlight is if the top of your hair is looking disconnected from the bottom in color.

If you want highlights with your retouch the pricing would be added together. For example a retouch($100+ partial highlight(225)= $325. It would also add 1-1.5 hour to your service.
For reference—- most of my retouch clients get highlights with their service twice a year.

Getting a haircut with your color saves $10 dollars each time. A haircut on its own is $60.

I do not cut mens hair(no offense😉) My studio is a female focused space.

Girls cuts are offered but it is a full service wash, cut and blowdry $60.

I hope this gives you guidance and all the information you need to feel comfortable coming into my space! If i missed anything please comment below or dm me. Looking forward to seeing you!

How long is too long?
I have had so many clients tell me “you are SO fast”. When i ask why they think they say they are usually at the salon for 4-6 hours🤯.

I myself would never be able to bring myself to sit and get my hair done for that long.

It has to be that perfect medium unhurried but time conscious and efficient for me to invest in it.
Exactly why my business has been built around:
Efficient appointment times 2-3 hours. (Never hurried but always with your time in mind)

Longevity— making sure your color and highlights last as long as possible.

Sustainability— we create a hair plan for yes desired results but also how often do you want to see and what can you sustain for the long run.

Hair should never be a chore or something you dread.

Let’s work together abd get you on the plan that will set you up for self confidence success.

I know how insane life is. How as women we lose ourselves in the hustle and bustle of motherhood and work.

This is what inspired me to stop feeling guilty and start showing up for myself. And also inspired me to create my business with the busy female in mind.

Efficient 2.5-3 hour appointments.
Highlights that last 4-6 months.
Private peaceful space
Feeling like YOU(priceless)

Color that looks good long after you leave the salon.
A busy mom and working client with massive amounts of hair, washing every day, greasy but dry, unwanted frizz, breakage. She actually called her hair lion hair. We talked through products and got her on Loma shampoo and conditioner(my favorite).
After 3 months of use her hair is soft, no longer puffy or frizzy and she can now wash it once or twice a week.

I know good products work because i live this! I personally wash my hair once or twice a week.

Each appointment you have the option to talk through washing, what you use and what you desire your routine to be. I am happy to help give you knowledge and plan to help save your color, investment and most of all TIME. You save time daily and time between colors. .

Let’s do this!
👉start with product knowledge for your hair
👉purchase and use the products.
👉gradually start washing less one day at a time. Start with every other day for a month then add a day. Repeat.

My clients don’t come every 6 weeks. They come every 3-6 months and still look amazing!

Alyssa comes once or twice a year and this balayage appointment really wanted to add dimension back into her. She asked for more of her natural hair with pops of ribbon highlights.

We did a partial balayage of high and low lites with a root melt to deepen the root and an all over glaze. Not to mention we chopped off 4 inches to the cutest long bob. Swipe for the before pic!

This service took 2.5 hours.

You don’t need a ton of time. 2-3 hours every 3-6 months. It is SO worth it!

Ever wonder how other women look so put together?
I always used to compare myself to the put together mom at drop off.. thinking how do they have the time. Until i found this one thing that changed my life and now my clients..
Balayage. Plain and simple. 3-6 month appointments. Seamless grow out. Self care maintenance that doesnt feel like a chore and looks good for MONTHS.

Looking polished doesn’t mean you are doing more.

A space that feels like yours.
Hair that that lights you up and brings good energy.
It’s not just vanity. It’s mental health, emotional reset, permission to prioritize yourself.

There are no rules in how you spend this time in my chair.
You can multi-task with a working appointment.
Zone out in silence.
Scroll aimlessly.
Have adult conversation.

It is your time. Time that you make it what you want it to be and someone serves you.

A customized hair appointment catered to your needs.
