A little behind-the-scenes update for you!

I’ve officially made the decision to transition away from Kevin Murphy as my color and product line. This wasn’t a quick decision, but after some of the changes the brand has made since I started with them, I realized it just wasn’t a brand I could fully stand behind anymore.

That doesn’t make it a bad line—it’s not. But for me, it’s important that what I use behind the chair aligns with both my standards and my values.

So I’m stepping into something new…
Color: Keune
Home Products: Maria Nila

I’m really excited about the performance, the feel, and the results I’m already seeing.

And if you’re loyal to your Kevin Murphy favorites, I can absolutely still get those for you—but Maria Nila has some beautiful equivalents that I truly think you’ll fall in love with just as much. Excited for you to experience the difference!

Rich reds like this will always do it for me

Shiny, dimensional, and full of movement with warm pieces woven through to bring it all to life. The light hits this color so beautifully and makes every tone pop.

Fred, my little salon mascot, finally got his moment in my updated branding shoot 🐛✨
I crocheted him back when I was dreaming about becoming an independent salon owner… and now here we are.

Still one of my favorite creations to date 💚

Catching up on some of my favorite recent work, starting with this fun color block transformation 🦋
Thoughtful placement, bold contrast, and a look that feels completely custom—exactly how I love creating color.

Truly one of those colors you can’t stop looking at.
Soft movement, beautiful warmth, and so much natural shine ✨

I recently had the chance to sit down for a thoughtful podcast conversation, and I loved how naturally it unfolded.

Happy holidays! Hope you have a safe and cheerful holiday! 🎄
I will be out of the salon until Dec 29th enjoying time with my family. Can’t wait to hear how you spent your time when I get back!
