Kirst Hair Studio

If I can’t do it, It can’t be done. 🪄

Half head foils
K18 added
Tip outs
And a fresh hair install of 18” wefts.

The amount of women I speak to who tell me they hate how thin their hair has become...
This is exactly why I love extensions.
A half head of foils, 120g of weft hair and suddenly we're back in business. 🙌
More hair to work with. More confidence. Better ponytails. Better curls. Better everything.

And the best part? Nobody knows where her hair ends and the extensions begin.

I had a feeling this one deserved a permanent spot on the feed 🖤

When clients follow you from salon to salon, wait to get back in your chair, and trust you with a full transformation like this… that’s not something I’ll ever take lightly.

Safe hands. Good hair. Happy clients.
That’s always the goal. ✨

This is what happens when a stylist stops treating foils like a routine and starts treating hair like a custom colour service.

Because the truth is… this wasn’t fixed by “going blonder”.
It was fixed by understanding what was actually wrong in the first place.

The right depth. The right warmth. The right contrast. The right placement.

Now her hair finally looks cohesive, expensive and like it actually belongs on her instead of looking like random foils scattered through damaged hair.

She could’ve gone anywhere.
Instead, she waited until she found me again. ❤️ That level of trust never gets lost on me.

We blended everything out and bought her hair back to life again with half head of foils, root smudge and toner to brighten those ends. The difference is incredible!

Ever been to a hairdresser and constantly told your hair “won’t do that” because of everything you’ve done wrong? Meanwhile you’re spending $400+ and walking out looking almost exactly the same.

So you stop wearing your hair down. You lose confidence in it. You convince yourself your hair is the problem when really… nothing is actually being changed.

There’s a difference between being realistic and being complacent.
At some point you outgrow your hairdresser and it’s okay to move on.

These are actual things this client told me while sitting in my chair. And honestly… the before and after speaks for itself.

A lot of clients walk into salons asking for “blonde foils” and walk out happy simply because the regrowth is gone. Not excited. Just relieved it looks brighter again.

And somewhere along the way, the industry normalised that.

“Same as before?”
Foils.
Tone.
Purple shampoo.
Repeat.

But if your blonde only looks good because you constantly rely on purple shampoo, that usually isn’t a you problem. It’s often a lifting problem.

This client had been told for years that purple shampoo was just part of being blonde.

The reality is hair can’t keep being overworked through the mids and ends every appointment. Sometimes as stylists we need to stop, reassess the canvas, and ask ourselves if we could be doing better.

Hairdressing is an art form.
No artist creates something without stepping back and looking at the final result.

Complacency creates average hair.
Thoughtful work creates beautiful hair.

I’ve had quite a few clients lately telling me they already use K18 at home, not realising the K18 I use during blonding services is actually a completely different step ✨

The in salon K18 treatment is designed to help protect and support the hair during the colouring process.

Your at home K18 products are the maintenance step that help keep your hair feeling healthy between appointments.

Both work together. They just have different jobs 🤍
