Soft natural curls, scrunch dried with the right products and a little love 🤍

Curly hair deserves to look expensive too ✨

A lovely transformation today…

My guest had previous hi-lites and wanted something a little softer and easier to maintain — especially around the root area where regrowth can start to look quite strong.

So we transitioned her into a balayage ✨

This means:
• a softer, more natural root
• no harsh lines as it grows out
• still beautifully blonde through the ends
• much lower maintenance between appointments

It’s a great option if you love being blonde but don’t want that “fresh hi-lite line” every few weeks 🤍

We kept the brightness but made it look more seamless and natural — and the shine at the end just finishes it off perfectly ✨

If you’re thinking about moving away from hi-lites but not sure how, I’m always happy to chat it through during a consultation 💬

Hi lovelies This was a big one… a LOT of hair and a lot of detail 🤍

We created a soft balayage with a halo of white blonde to gently lift and frame the face ✨
Keeping depth through the rest of the hair so it still feels natural and easy to maintain.

I love results like this… soft, blended and beautifully wearable Message me if you’re thinking of a change like this 🤍

“Loved doing this today in Southgate ✨ softer balayage that lasts longer… what do we think? 🤍”

Tell me I’m not the only one that loves this part 🤣✨

“Bit of a change up today 🤍

Soft silver on top with that rich depth underneath… just gives it that little edge without being too much ✨

I love creating looks that feel modern but still really wearable day to day 💁🏼‍♀️

Hair should feel like you… just a little bit elevated 🤍

What do we think? 😍”

✨ Fresh new look today ✨
Soft platinum on top with natural depth underneath 🤍

We went for a choppy, textured shape to give it movement and make it really easy to wear day to day ✂️

Perfect if you’re starting to embrace your natural tones but still want to feel bright and fresh 💫

Saturday in full swing now and it’s only 10:30
