✨Making Hair Dreams Come True✨ Creative Vibes + Good Times
05/05/2026
Inspo That Actually Works 🤍
•
•
•
Pinterest is a beautiful place… but it can also be a little misleading when it comes to bridal hair. 🫣 The truth?
Not every inspo photo is meant for your hair and that’s okay.
•
Here’s what to look for when choosing inspiration that will actually translate on your wedding day:
• Hair type + density matters
Fine vs thick, short vs long, these all change the outcome.
———
• Look for similar color + dimension. Highlights, lowlights, and depth play a HUGE role in how styles show up in photos.
———
• Extensions are more common than you think. ✨ That FULL, voluminous bridal look? There’s a good chance extensions are involved.
———
• Inspo is direction NOT duplication. Your photos help guide the vibe, but don’t guarantee the exact result.
•
Your bridal hair should be designed for YOU 🫶🏼 your features, your dress, your vision, and your natural hair.
•
That’s where the magic happens.🫰🏼
Save this for your bridal planning 🤍 And send it to your bride friends before their trial 🧚✨

From Vision to Final Frame 📸
•
•
•
Three different shoots. Three different visions.
One creative process that brings it all to life.
•
Behind the chair.
On set.
In the details, the movement, the in-between moments that turn an idea into something real.
•
This is what creative collaboration looks like.
This is where editorial hair, beauty, and direction come together to create life.
•
From salon prep to on-set ex*****on to the final captured shots…every step matters.
•
And honestly… this is the part I love the most.
Tell me which look is your favorite ↓
_________
I do it anyways 🤘🏼
•
•
•
Building something of your own will test you in ways you never knew.
•
There will be days where motivation is low, confidence is shaky, and everything feels uncertain. 🫠 Days where you question your direction, your timing, or if it’s even worth it.
•
That’s part of it.
Growth doesn’t always look like big wins and highlight moments.
•
Sometimes it looks like showing up when no one is watching.
Sometimes it looks like doing the work before you feel ready.
•
If you’re a small business owner, creative, or someone chasing something bigger, just know you’re not behind. ✨You’re in the process.
And the process is where everything changes.

Fresh Set, Who Dis 💅✨
•
•
•
One thing about me… I’m gonna have a fresh set for every season, every mood, every occasion.💁🏻♀️💕
•
My nails are lowkey one of my most complimented accessories (right up there with the outfits 😌), and it’s all because of my girl Jess.
•
We’ve been locked in for about 3 years now and when I say I will never go back to having nail nubs! I mean that.🫶🏼
•
Every set is hand painted.
Every design is intentional.
Every appointment feels like a reset of the brain
•
Like come on?? Yeah… she did THAT!!.👻
•
When I say my service provider team is ELITE, I stand on that. The best in the west 💅✨

Zodiac hair era✨
•
•
•
Some signs are ready for a bold transformation.⭐️
Some are stepping into their soft glow-up phase. 🎀
•
Your zodiac sign might not exactly CHOOSE your hair…
but the energy you’re stepping into with it absolutely does.
•
What era are you entering? 🤩
A dramatic chop?
A bold color moment?
Or the “this is the best my hair has ever looked” phase?
👇🏼Drop your zodiac sign below and tell me if yours was accurate. I’m curious to see which signs are ready for their next hair era. ✨

In Case You’re New Here… 🫶🏼
•
•
•
Since the start of the year, there have been quite a few new faces around here 👻 so I figured it was time for a little re-introduction.💕
•
Hi, I’m Hilarie…. also known as Ur Hairy Godmother. 💁🏻♀️✨
•
I’m a Boise-based hairstylist who lives for transformations, creative collaborations, bridal mornings, and the kind of hair that makes you feel like the most confident version of yourself.
•
Behind the chair you’ll usually find me creating red transformations, dimensional blondes, festival braids, bridal styles, and the occasional creative concept that lets my imagination run wild.😜
•
But more than anything, I love the people who sit in my chair. The stories, the laughter, the “let’s try something new” moments 🤩 that’s the real magic.💕
So if you’re new here, welcome to the chaos, the creativity, and the confidence boosts. I’m really glad you’re here. 🧡

Blossom Into Her 🌸
•
•
•
Spring has a funny way of reminding us who we are.
After the quiet seasons.
After the darker days.
After the moments where growth felt slow and unseen.
•
And working with these two magnificent women reminds me exactly of that ☀️
•
If you’ve ever had the chance to be in a room with or , you know what I’m talking about 🫰🏼✨ The kind of women whose presence shifts the energy the moment they walk in. Not just because of their beauty, although that is undeniable😍 but because of the way they carry themselves. The confidence. The warmth. The aura that draws people in.
•
They are the kind of women who remind you that power doesn’t always have to be LOUD to be FELT 💕
•
This little moment felt like an ode to spring itself, a reminder that the world blossoms again every year, no matter how heavy the previous season felt.🧡
•
And maybe that’s the reminder we all need.
•
The beauty around you is captivating.
BUT SO ARE YOU 🫵🏼
•
If the last season felt dark, let this one be the door you open to step fully into the woman you’re becoming.
•
Blossom into her 🌻
___________
Some days feel heavy 😩
•
•
•
The inbox.
The expectations.
The comparison.
The pressure to keep building, creating, showing up.
•
And sometimes you’re doing all of it while quietly carrying things no one else sees.
•
But here’s the part we don’t say out loud enough:
Strength doesn’t always look calm.
Confidence doesn’t always look loud.
And progress doesn’t always feel powerful in the moment.
•
You can feel overwhelmed and still be growing🌻
You can feel stretched and still be stepping into something bigger.
Both can exist at the same time.
•
If you’re in a season that feels like a lot, you’re not behind. You’re expanding.⚡️
And expansion can feel uncomfortable before it feels aligned.
•
That’s it. Just a little reminder 🫶🏼

She Always Knew ✨
•
•
•
Little me didn’t know the words “bridal hairstylist,” “creative director,” or “small business owner.”
•
But she knew she loved creating. She knew she loved playing with hair. She knew she loved making people feel special. 💕☺️
•
And somehow… that turned into this beautiful career.
•
Behind every bridal booking, every color transformation, every festival braid, there’s just a grown-up version of this little girl who still gets excited about creating magic with you 🫵🏼 And I think that’s the most incredible part of building a career you genuinely love.
•
To those of you letting me live out what little me always felt called to do, you don’t know how much it means. ☺️💕
Thank you for trusting “her” 🫶🏼
