Ember Renee Salon

READY FOR ANOTHER BEFORE AND AFTER?!

🫢😍

The before and afters are always my favorite!
She took a 2yr hiatus with her highlights and they grew out so gracefully!

It’s always my goal to give highlights that grow out in a way that you don’t feel like c**a between visits 💩 …whether it’s 2 months or 2 years 💁‍♀️

The glow up is just 🤌🏼

A majority of my clients sit down and say, “do your thing!” And I really take a lot of pride in that trust level. 🫶🏼

This pretty lady lets me do my thing and then I copy what I did to her and do it to myself too! Hair twinkies for life 👯‍♀️

My TOP makeup tips when transitioning to a fall color…

☝🏼BRONZER is your best friend. Sweep a little extra bronzer across your cheeks, forehead, and nose. This helps balance out your new darker look.

✌🏼BLUSH. I love a peachy-pink blush for the fall. This is generally universal for all skin tones and works really well with fall hair colors. My favorite is by westmanatelier in shade ‘Chouchette’.

And last but not least BROWS! Add a little more color to your brows for a completely cohesive look!

I’m having a lot of FALL moments around here 🍂

I love a good before and after too 😍

Forgot to post this before and after before I left on vacation, but I’m back and need this to have a permanent spot on my feed bc it’s that good.

Problems solved in this appointment:

☝🏼Eliminated the hard line of demarcation from her previous highlights(not by me). I have a method of highlighting that is soft & graceful but gives PLENTY of pop.

✌🏼Gave her the ability to go longer between appointments. And thus saving her lotsa 💸💸💸 not to mention time ⏰

👱🏻‍♀️She pulls her hair back in a pony OFTEN and didn’t like how her highlights looked as they grew out(hard line). So I diffused them and gave the Ember magic so they can grow out soft & gracefully. She will never get the ick 🤢when she sees her highlights grow out now.

🎨 I also softened the color of her highlights to a soft, creamy, but bright blonde that compliments almost ANY skin tone. 😉

Creating highlights that not only look amazing when you leave but STILL look amazing months and months later…..THIS is what I do.

How?

🧐It’s the details. I pay attention to the details. I don’t skip steps because it’s faster or easier.

🗓️ I do the tedious work for you NOW so you get more wear out of each appointment and can go weeks to even months longer than what you’re used to.

And I’m pretty proud of that 😉

I’m soooo particular when it comes to brunettes. If you’re brunette, you know highlights can go wrong(ie. 🍊) real quick.

….and this is why I’m so particular. 😉 Orange is no bueno and no ma’am we do not allow that kind of negativity to exist in my chair.

We named this one Mocha Vanilla latté with a subtle caramel swirl. ☕️ 👌🏼

I feel like this might be a theme for my brunettes this season 🫶🏼

//FALL TRANSITIONS for BRUNETTES//

☀️ Those lighter and brighter toned highlights we’ve been doing for the Summer months can start to mellow out as we enter into that PSL season ☕️

My best suggestion for the Pre-Fall color:

🍫 Do a slightly darker & warmer tone for your highlights.

This tone will still go with all the Summer clothes we are ALL STILL WEARING(bc Texas) but it will get your mind and wardrobe ready for the(cross your fingers) Fall weather to come.

Plus it’s gorgeous. So that too 😘

//FALL TRANSITIONS// Is it time for Fall hair yet???

For me, I don’t really get in the Fall spirit until the weather is a little less hellish 🔥

☀️ /🍁 So for a great in between Summer & Fall color, I really love adding a little dimension to the root area behind the highlights that frame the face.

Things I love about doing this:

👌🏼It’s subtle. It’s change but it’s not TOO much change.

👍🏼It’s creating depth and dimension back into the hair in a gradual way.

👏🏻 It’s soft and natural looking.

👐🏻It allows for the most graceful of grow outs.

So for all my highlight girlies, this is your it’s not summer but not yet Fall hair solution! 👩‍🔬

//HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HIGHLIGHTS//

💁‍♀️Always use an *Ember approved* detangling/wet brush. The goal is to be GENTLE and some brushes are more gentle than others.

✌🏼Start your Olaplex lineup as soon as you get home.(I go over the specifics at your appointment)

How you take care of your hair AT HOME largely dictates the health and shine of your hair going forward.

💜 Purple shampoo! Only use AS-NEEDED! Typically, you will need to use it ONCE every 4-5 weeks after your appointment.

⭐️ It is SOO important if you are getting highlights to follow my at-home product protocol. These are products that I use on myself, I use them on every single client, & I know work!

//FINE HAIR//

2 tips for my girls with FINE HAIR to get the most VOLUME….

👆🏼Use a volumizing/texture mousse on WET hair and blow dry in with a round brush. Apply to your roots/crown area and some thru the mid to ends of your hair.

✌🏼 Do not let your hair AIR DRY. Your hair needs to be lifted off the scalp by blow drying 👆🏼 It will be flat as a pancake if you let it air dry.
