The Makeup Table + Hair

Your salon appointment isn’t a job interview. ❤️

Come with dirty hair.
Come without makeup.
Come straight from the gym.
Come with a little too much dry shampoo.

The only thing I care about is making you leave feeling amazing.

(Coffee or a cold drink is always appreciated. ☕😂)

Which one have you apologized for before? Tell me in the comments! 👇

Want a softer, more effortless lip look? After applying your lip liner, use a flat concealer brush to gently blend the edges. It diffuses harsh lines, creates that soft focus blurred lip effect, and makes your lipstick look more natural and polished.

This quick makeup trick works with any lip liner and takes less than 10 seconds. Perfect if you love an easy everyday makeup look without looking overly done. Comment LIP and I’ll send the brush + lip liner details 💋

You don’t need a drawer full of eyeshadow palettes to create a polished eye look.

Perfect for beginners, busy mornings, and women who want simple makeup that actually works. 🔗Link in Bio to shop these staples!

A few beauty opinions I’ve formed after 25+ years behind the chair…

• Expensive makeup isn’t always better.
• You probably don’t need another eyeshadow palette.
• Long hair isn’t automatically more youthful.
• A great haircut can make a bigger difference than a drawer full of beauty products.
• Technique matters more than products
Don’t get me wrong ❤️ I love makeup. But I also see so many women spending money on products when what they really need is a haircut that suits their face shape, a simplified routine, and a little guidance on what actually works for them.

The goal isn’t to own more. The goal is to feel confident when you look in the mirror.

As a Denver hairstylist and beauty educator, my favorite part of what I do is helping women simplify their beauty routine so getting ready feels easier, not more overwhelming. What’s your most controversial beauty opinion?!? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

The little details matter. ✂️

As a hairstylist with over 25 years behind the chair, I’m incredibly particular about the tools I use every day. From my combs to my shears to my clippers, each one plays a role in creating precision, consistency, and a haircut that grows out beautifully.

Your haircut starts long before the first snip.

Want a lifted eye without the harshness of liquid liner? Try this soft smoky wing that is fool proof.

I’m using the L’Oréal Kohl Haute Couture Pencil in Brown to create a soft, smoky wing that looks effortless and is much easier than traditional winged liner.

The trick is to keep the liner close to the lash line, then softly blend the edge upward for subtle lift and definition.

This technique is perfect for hooded eyes, mature eyes, or anyone who wants a softer everyday makeup look.

Forget the French Bob… it’s time for the Bulgarian Bob. ✨

Full. Glossy. Voluminous.

This bob is all about embracing thick hair and creating a shape that allows it to move beautifully while maintaining that luxurious, healthy looking fullness.
