Courtney Winters Beauty

Today I took my beautiful golden blonde guest and applied a root drop for depth, with a mix of low & highlights with a creamy 🍄‍🟫 brown glaze! Have you been considering going darker but keeping some brightness? This is the service for you!

Today we took Miss one step closer to her favorite blonde! This was a second session going from a years worth of grow out to a bright blonde! She likes a little bit of dimension so what you’re seeing between the blonde, is her natural color! ☀️

Doing your own hair is basically a workout 😅
Doing your hair takes real effort. And patience. And coordination.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By the time you’re done, your arms are tired, you’re not even sure if the back looks good, and you’re just ready to be done 🤷‍♀️
This is exactly why you should just book an appointment and let me handle it instead 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You sit. You relax. You scroll. I’ll do the heavy lifting.
Way easier for everyone!

🌟 Swipe for the before! 🌟 Today I got the pleasure of doing my little sister’s hair 💁‍♀️. We did a FULL transformation where we cut off about 8 inches (don’t worry, it was her choice!) and did “The Works” to get her blonde back up to speed 🏃‍♀️ but it will take one more session to get her back to an all over bright blonde 💜.

Another Color Correction in the works! Swipe to see her before photos 🌟. Today was the 1st out of 3 sessions to get her from a red-ish color to a bright blended golden balayage 😊. With color corrections, I like to break it up into multiple sessions to maintain behalf and integrity of your hair! Each session for this hair length & thickness usually takes around 3 hours per session.

It’s all worth it in the end!

Saturdays are for 🌟 COLOR CORRECTIONS 🌟! This is our first session out of 3, to get her from previously colored red hair to bright blonde 💃. Today’s session was 3.5 hours and I had a blast every second of it! I can’t wait to get this beauty to her goal 💫

The blonde fade is real! Here’s what’s actually going on ⬇️
Your hair has warm tones underneath (red, orange, yellow).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you go blonder or lighter, we lift those warm tones out and sometimes neutralize them with a toner. But over time, they slowly come back in 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And a few things make it happen faster:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Hard or chlorinated water
👉 Heat styling
👉 Wrong shampoo
👉 Sun exposure
👉 Skipping toning appointments
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s not your fault or a bad color job. It’s literally just how hair works 🤷‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Purple shampoo helps. Regular toning helps more. Protecting your hair from heat and sun helps even more 🤎
If you’re noticing orange or yellow tones, it’s time to book an appointment!

Your hair products might be the problem…here’s why 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me make this clear 👉 Drugstore products aren’t “bad”.
They’re just designed differently. A lot of drugstore products contain fillers and heavy silicones that coat your hair instead of actually treating it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So you’re putting in the effort but not getting the results.
Here’s the actual difference:
Salon Products:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Higher concentration of active ingredients
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Customized for specific hair types
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Ingredients that actually pe*****te the hair
✨ Last longer (you use less)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Drugstore Products:
✨ More budget-friendly
✨ Great for low-maintenance routines
✨ More for generalized use, less customized
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I switch to salon products myself? Game changer.
My hair actually responded to what I was doing 🤎
The real question? What works for YOUR hair and your budget.
What are you using right now? Salon or drugstore?
