Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. ❤️🤍💙

Hair appointments aren’t just about color and cuts…
they’re therapy, catch-ups, confidence boosts, and sometimes damage control

If you know, you know.

Ready for your next appointment?

Not fully booked yet? Ready to build your clientele?

I have a part-time booth rental (2 set days/week) available at Kris & Co Hair Studio in St. Charles (high-traffic location).

This is a great opportunity to grow your books without committing full-time — but I’m going to be upfront:

We do get walk-ins and call-ins,
but they are not guaranteed and not always extensions or lived-in color.

How it works:
• Walk-ins = first come, first serve (you have to be here to take them)
• Call-ins = I text the group, first to respond gets the client

Looking for someone who:
• Shows up consistently on their set days
• Is willing to take walk-ins and turn them into repeat clients
• Cleans up after themselves (shared space matters)
• Is a team player and handles conflict with respect
• Is ready to sign and follow salon agreements

This is not for someone expecting guaranteed clients.
This is for someone willing to build and take advantage of opportunity.

If that’s you, message me with your availability and a little about yourself.

If your hair feels dry, dull, or just not cooperating… this is your fix.

Surface Bassu Oil is one of those products that actually does what it says without weighing your hair down or making it greasy.

✔️ Lightweight hydration
✔️ Smooths frizz instantly
✔️ Adds shine without buildup
✔️ Helps protect against heat + environmental damage

The key ingredient Babassu oil is packed with fatty acids that pe*****te the hair (not just sit on top), so you’re actually improving the condition of your hair over time.

Perfect for:
• Dry or damaged hair
• Frizz-prone hair
• Extensions (won’t weigh them down)
• Anyone wanting that smooth, healthy finish

Use it on damp hair before styling or on dry hair to finish.

We have it in stock at the salon 📍grab one next time you’re in or ask your stylist if it’s right for you.

Happy Mother’s Day. 💛

This day can hold many different meanings, and we’re holding space for all of you.

To the moms, the mother figures, the ones who show up with endless love and care—we celebrate you.
To those who are hoping to become mothers, walking through loss, or navigating complicated relationships with this day—we see you.
And to those who simply show up and nurture others in quiet, meaningful ways—you matter just as much.

However this day feels for you, we’re grateful you’re here and part of our community. Wishing you a day filled with whatever you need most—rest, love, support, or a little extra kindness.

✨ OLD PICTURE ✨

If these walls could talk…

They’d tell you about the days I didn’t think I could keep going but showed up anyway.
They’d tell you about the laughter that fills this space… the kind that makes your stomach hurt and your mascara run.

They’d tell you about the tears too.
Quiet ones behind the chair.
Loud ones in the back room.
The “pull it together and get back out there” kind.

They’d tell you about you—
The stories shared in this chair.
The big life updates, the hard seasons, the fresh starts.
The trust you give me, sitting down and letting me be part of it.

They’ve held some of my proudest moments… and some of my most overwhelming.
The days I felt completely supported—and the days I felt completely lost.

They’ve had a million phone calls from the school, last-minute schedule changes, life happening in real time… all while you sit in my chair with such grace for us.

This space isn’t just a salon.
It’s where real life happens—for all of us.

And somehow, through all the hard we still stand.
Just a group of moms navigating this like together!

Summer is tough on hair. A few small habits can lead to dryness, fading, and breakage faster than people realize. Here are the biggest things to avoid:

1. Shampooing right after swimming

Chlorine and saltwater already dry the hair out—harsh shampoo right away can make it worse.
Do this instead: rinse with clean water first, then wash with a gentle shampoo.

2. Skipping heat or UV protection

Heat protectant isn’t just for styling tools. Sun exposure can still damage and fade hair.

3. Overusing dry shampoo

Too much buildup leads to dull, irritated scalp and hair that feels heavier over time.

4. Letting pool or beach water sit in your hair

Leaving it in all day pulls moisture out and leads to dryness and breakage.

5. Tight styles every day

Constant high ponytails or slick styles can cause stress and breakage over time.

At-home care that actually helps

If you only do one thing at home this summer, focus on protecting moisture and preventing buildup.

A solid routine includes:

Leave-in conditioner
Heat/UV protectant
Light hair oil for ends
Clarifying shampoo 1–2x/month
Ask your stylist what they personally recommend for your hair type next time you’re in.

Healthy hair starts at the scalp. If you’re dealing with thinning, shedding, or slow growth, here’s what we recommend in-salon and why:

🌿 Surface Awaken (topical support)
Think of this as your scalp environment reset
• Helps remove buildup (oil, product, DHT residue)
• Supports circulation to the scalp
• Creates a healthier space for hair to grow
• Lightweight + safe for daily use

💊 Nutrafol (internal support)
This works from the inside out
• Targets stress, hormones, and nutrient gaps
• Supports stronger, thicker-looking hair over time
• Backed by clinical research
• Best results with consistent use (3–6 months)

Why we love pairing them:
You’re supporting growth from both directions — scalp + internal health. That’s where real results happen.

If you’re not seeing progress with your hair, it’s usually not just one issue… it’s multiple.

Not sure where to start?
Message your stylist we’ll help you build a plan that actually makes sense for your hair.

Dry shampoo isn’t “bad”…
but overusing it can wreck your scalp 👇

Most people treat it like a replacement for washing their hair — it’s not. It’s a temporary fix, and when used wrong, it builds up fast.

What can happen with overuse:
• Product buildup that clogs follicles
• Itchy, irritated scalp
• Flakes that look like dandruff (but aren’t)
• Weighed-down roots + dull hair
• Can interfere with healthy hair growth over time

How to use it the right way:
• Use it on clean-ish hair (not day 5+)
• Apply lightly at the root — less is more
• Let it sit for a minute before brushing through
• Avoid layering it day after day

What you NEED to do after using dry shampoo:
• Actually wash your hair within 1–2 days
• Double cleanse your scalp when you do
• Use a scalp-focused shampoo to break down buildup

If your scalp isn’t healthy… your hair won’t be either. Period.

Better option (especially for sensitive or acne-prone scalps):
I’m personally a fan of the Surface dry shampoo foam — it absorbs oil without that heavy powder buildup and is much easier on the scalp.

If you’ve been dealing with itchiness or flakes, this might be why.

Happy Birthday, 🎉
Wishing you a great day and an amazing year ahead!

The most thoughtful Mother’s Day gift she didn’t know she needed
We filter the water we drink — so why not the water we shower in? 💧
Tap water contains chlorine and heavy metals that are added to disinfect it, but they wreak havoc on our hair and skin. That chlorine is no good for our skin and hair , and it shows — dullness, dryness, breakage, itchiness, and even hair shedding can all be traced back to your shower water.
Enter: the Jolie Filtered Shower Head.
Here’s what it does:
Removes chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants from your shower water
Clinically proven — over 80% of users experienced reduced hair shedding
Softer skin, less irritation, and shinier hair — after just a few showers
No plumber needed — just screw off your old showerhead and screw on your Jolie
Filter lasts 90 days, then a simple swap keeps it going
As hair and skin professionals, we are obsessed with this. It’s one of the easiest upgrades you can make to protect your hair between salon visits — and it makes the most luxurious, meaningful gift for the mamas in your life. 🤍
