(thanks for hosting)
education is so important to keep up with trends and do better with my guest behind the chair. 😉
⬅️swipe to see us 5 years ago at one of my first classes with her!

shot of rosé anyone? 💞🌸
For this beauty, I did a traditional full highlight (blonde right to the roots/base). After that I used candy & cupid to give a little fun pop of pink on her ends!

Smoke Show 💨🌀
This beauty has been on the journey of growing out her natural hair color since the pandemic 2020! 😗

To soften the line of demarcation we have been doing highlights, lowlights, painting in balayage to create brighter ends.

We decided to have a little fun and be creative and make her blonde ends blue!! I used nightfall and blue muse by 💙😱🥶

Summer lites ☀️
This beauty wanted to lighten things up for summer. We did a traditonal highlight with a root smudge to give some dimension at her base for a softer grow out. ✨

Sun kissed brunette ☀️😘👩🏽
This beauty wanted some dimension lighter pieces add to her hair. I went in and put in teazy-light highlights (used lightner and 10-20 volume) to break up her beautiful natural brown hair. ✨

Copper lived-in balayage. 🧡❤️
My guest was looking for a change with her look. 👏🏼 We've always done a balayaged lived-in dimensional look, usually staying more light brown to blonde. ✨
I hand painted balayage pieces to give a softer more organic grow out for a low maintence color. 🍀I glazed with copper red and we are obessed. So pretty the way it blends with her natural brown color. 👩🏼‍🦰
This maintence is great, by the time I see her for her in-between appointment for a haircut, we will re-glaze with the copper red tone and won't need to repaint those highlights! 🥰

Brunette beauty ✨⁣

My guest came in with pre-existing heavy warmer toned highlights. 🙅🏻 She was looking for a more softer natural brunette still with dimension. 💁🏻‍♀️ I went through and replaced her highlights, melted her root, and added some lowlights to create maximum dimension. Freshened her haircut, layers and face frame!✂️ ⁣

Sometimes it’s not that you have to change everything, you just have to go through and (what i like to call it) reorganize. 📌 She was much happier with the tone and placement without having to change too much at once! 😉⁣

Hand painted balayage ✨⁣
My guest had absolutely GORGEOUS natural brown hair 🙋🏻‍♀️ (Swipe to 3rd picture). Her goal was to add some lightness ☀️ & richness 💰to her hair while still keeping a low maintenance style. 🙌🏼 To achieve this I went thru and painted in her lighter pieces to give her hair depth and dimension. 🎨 We trimmed her hair and freshened up her layers for more movement and body! ✂️ Her maintenance will be in about 3-4 months a haircut with a glaze. 🌻

Full foil back to back with the ends tipped out. ✨⁣
My client came to me wanting to lighten her hair after coloring it darker for the fall. 🙋🏼‍♀️ We had 2 sessions to achieve this look. ✂️ First session I did a full painted ombre balayage to break through most of the permanent dark brown in her hair. (second photo) The second appointment I did traditional foils closer to her root for a more softer overall blonde look. ⚡️She is now all ready for summer! ☺️🌻☀️⁣
