Darling & Dapper

Judge our Halloween theme: things you can find in the forest! We just LOVE nature. Keep swiping. 😂

Sometimes a new season calls for a little reset. 🍂

New routine. New clothes. New hair?

Maggie took this very light level 10 blonde a little deeper for fall, and we are VERY into the seasonal reset.

There’s just something about a gorgeous fall color that makes you want to start fresh, isn't there??

LIFE’S A GARDEN… DIG IT!
.. and while you’re at it, CHECK YOUR B***S.

It’s Halloween week, so Katy .the.hair.lady came dressed as Joe Dirt to remind you that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 🎀

Know your normal, keep up with recommended screenings, and don’t put off getting something checked if it feels off.

You can have great hair AND take care of your tatas. We believe in you. 💗

🚨 LAST CALL FOR RAFFLE TICKETS! 🚨

We’ve been talking about this one all month, and now we’re officially in the home stretch. It's never too late to make a difference!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and we’re raising money for Samaritan House with a MASSIVE local gift basket raffle. Every single dollar raised goes directly to helping provide safety, shelter, resources, and a fresh start for local survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.

So if you’ve been thinking, “Oh yeah, I need to grab one of those…”

THIS IS YOUR REMINDER. 😂

💜 The Prize: One legendary gift basket packed with local goodies, treats, favorites, and surprises
💜 The Cause: Samaritan House
💜 The Deadline: October 31
💜 The Tickets: Available at Darling & Dapper Studio!

Grab a few. Tell a friend. Do the thing.

You could walk away with a ridiculous amount of awesome stuff, and your ticket helps support people who deserve safety, care, and a chance to start over.

That’s a pretty damn good raffle if you ask us. 💜

And one more HUGE thank you to our local contributors for helping us make this happen:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LIL SPOOKY BOO ! 👻🖤🎃

Insanely talented? YES. Ridiculously kind? ABSOLUTELY. Funny as hell? OH, YOU KNOW IT.

Michelle is the kind of person who makes our weird little crew even weirder (complimentary) and even better just by being in it. And the fact that she also happens to be a hair color WIZARD? We mean, come ON. Some people are just out here collecting all the good traits. RUDE. 😂

We love you, Michelle! Here's to another year of making magic, making people laugh, and being your gloriously spooky self. 🖤🥳 YAY!!

And by “this,” we mean sitting in our salon, getting pampered, feeling cute, and leaving with hair you’re obsessed with. 😌✨

So… what are you waiting for? BOOK THE APPOINTMENT!

Haircolor so satisfying and smooth it makes you go “ooohhhhhhhh.”

Now, “OOOHHHH” isn’t technically a color on our wheel, but if that’s how you describe it, we’ll know exactly what you mean. 😂

THE SECRETS OF THE PINK FORMULA 🔮

But first - let’s talk about what makes this color work SO WELL.

Michelle’s client wanted a deep reddish base melting into pink, and she gave Michelle pretty much free rein.

The secret sauce? Working WITH the hair she already had. She came in with some previous balayage placement, so Michelle added more dimension and brightened what she could without pushing the hair too far. And because this amazing human has a family full of redheads AND was a little gingery as a kid? That warm base was basically made for her.

Even better: the second appointment was a breeze. Just a root touch-up + all-over toner to refresh the pink. Yay!

So… the pink formula? We'll definitely tell you if you wanna know, but the REAL secret is knowing how to make a color work with YOUR hair, your history, and your natural tones.

That’s where the magic happens!

You might consider a "fall blonde" a cool down, but in our hearts, it's HEATING UP. 😍

And if we're being accurate... this is actually a warmer tone!

Libby's (.bylibby) client traded that bright, icy summer blonde for something a little deeper, warmer, and very much ready for fall. 🍂
