balayage + SEQ 9v/000

I will always try to get the best shots. And apparently, @lillianlovely will always be creeping on me.
.
But really, finding the right light, the right angle, the right head tilts...it’s all a part of making these hair photos POP. Do you prefer getting hair shots inside the salon, or outside?

d i s c o v e r ———— So you know by now, I d i s c o v e r

So you know by now, I’ve got curly hair. They really showed up at 12, and I haaaated them.
.
It’s been an uphill battle understanding my curls, but I believe I’m finally on to something..
.
Over the last few months I’ve been experimenting with products & cleansers to help balance my hair between moisture and protein. This was taken in day 4 hair & I had refreshed it twice that week. It was flat, the curls stretched waayy too much. Here’s what I did:
.
Sprayed individual sections (mainly on top) with water to make it slightly damp. I mixed @innersenseorganicbeauty Leave-In with some water and did praying hands down these sections.
.
Then I flipped my head upside down, sprayed the rest of my hair & repeated the top step. On the mids/ends I used just a little of @ecoslay Orange Marmalade & let my hair dry & cast.
.
I #sotc with @olaplex No.7 oil, and BAM!💥volume up top, my underneath curled up completely & I had a good hair day🦄

Goin lighter for summer & her hair grew like 5 inches over the stay-at-home. Bells always makes me laugh til I cry & her light is always shining bright💓
.
I’m not gonna lie, I love that the iPhone 11pro has portrait, and other cool camera features; but it just dooooesnt capture the true tones! Experimenting with my canon all week📸

I just tried to mix balayage and boujee together...not sure if it’s gonna stick. But what will stick is this girls awesome color! 😍

So thankful that to still have a career to go back to, and that I had clients waiting to get back to me. I missed you all!

Have you guys ever seen a female Bane? Now you hav Have you guys ever seen a female Bane? Now you have. Today is day 3 back in the salon, this was taken on day 1.
.
After the first day, I came home and pushed through a workout to try and release the tension that had built up. Afterwards I just sat and cried. It shouldn’t have to be this way; but this is our new normal. For how long? No one knows. You feel like you’re suffocating under this mask, everything feels foreign at first. Sanitizing everything we touch takes up so much extra time..Time that I didn’t even think was necessary, honestly.. There are new normals that I/we must adjust to, and I’ve had a rude awakening with this one.
.
With that being said, there are adjustments I will have to make with my schedule and spacing between clients. Please be patient- as I will, unfortunately, have to move some appointments around in the coming weeks.
.
.
I have amazing clients, and I’m very thankful that everyone has been understanding through all of this 🤍

When you’re able to shelter-at-home with family; this gave me the opportunity to give my sister new wefts. Her precious KW Silk Wefts lasted for an entire year..but it was time for some new length!
.
2 wefts. That’s all she needed. Custom colored 16” Goodnight Tokyo from @thekaceywelchmethod and we’re back in business! I’m not even joking, Silk Wefts are my favorite.

————
With reopening, I want everyone to have incredible hair! If you’ve been interested in getting Silk Wefts, or are an existing client that needs new hair; now would be the best time to purchase!
.
This is strictly for the purchase of hair! Also, if you’re a new client, a consultation will be needed first!! I do have spaces left open specifically for consultations.
.
Contact me directly to place your order or to set up your consultation!
r e s e t ———— Hello, hi! I’ve been resc r e s e t
————
Hello, hi! I’ve been rescheduling clients, contacting new ones, changing things, and trying to find time to center myself. To breathe in & out, to remember who is in control.
.
As much as I’m looking forward to going back to work; I want to be clear that I’m absolutely nervous. There’s a “new normal” that we all will adjust to, whether that’s for the next 6 months, a year, or indefinitely. At the same time of reeling over lists of what to buy stock of, where I can put clients, how many masks to keep on hand, how much time to leave in-between, etc; I had the realization that I get the chance to reset. Reset my entire way of thinking. Reset my career.
.
While I’m immensely thankful for the clients and friends I’ve gained throughout the years behind the chair; I put MY value of myself in how busy I was. How many clients I could fit inside one day. How far out in advance I booked. How many new emails I could receive in a week. How many hours I would spend inside the salon. How I’d work 10-11 hours and realize I didn’t even go to the bathroom. I didn’t eat. Is this how I want to spend the next 30+ years of my life in my career? .
My body was breaking down, I ate crappy food, I stopped working out. Tingling in my arms and hands. Tension so tight in my jaw, I woke up in pain. I ignored every single sign my body way giving me. I would set boundaries & remove them. I would feel guilty for taking a day off, or if I couldn’t get one more client in. For years I haven’t been valuing myself.
.
Covid-19 has forced ALL of us to take a step back. And now, preparing to go back to work, I get the chance to reset. There are changes I’m making behind the chair, and in scheduling. But the biggest change I’ve been working on, has been mentally. I’m still valued if I only see 5 clients instead of 10. I’m still valued if I only worked 7 hours instead of 11. I’m still valued if I take a day off to keep my sanity.
.
I’m excited to see all my clients/friends, even if it’s behind a mask. I’m ready to reset🤍

I thought it would be easier to explain what will be happening over the next week in a video. I promise my quarantine look will not be present in the salon 😂
.
Please swipe to read the new guidelines, and I will also be sending the guidelines to all clients so they are aware. I hope and pray that over time, these requirements will be removed and I can go back to hugging every single one of you!❤️

Ending week 5 out of the salon, and booyyyy am missing it. Right before lockdown, I got to play with @marisajustmae’s locks, and looking at the pictures gives me life!

I’ve officially been away for 4 weeks. I haven’t touched color, tools, or hair in 4 weeks...and yesterday I think I officially lost my marbles.
.
But! Here’s a beautiful color for your feed 😍 I did a partial foilayage, and glossed with SEQ 8n + 9p

I’m going to be very vulnerable with this post. I’m going to be very vulnerable with this post. And I’m not quite sure where to start..I’m even emotional typing this all out right now..
This is not a wanted choice..this is not an ideal situation. But will you wait, with me?
.
The last 2 weeks have put me through an extreme roller coaster full of emotions. I have felt nervous, angry, and calm. But mostly, I’ve been very sad.
.
Having to step away from my chair, is the hardest thing to do. Financially it’s intimidating. Mentally it’s straining. Emotionally its completely heartbreaking..
.
I miss going into work every day, I miss the hilarious conversations I should be having with my clients. I miss the hair magic, getting to create new looks daily. I miss the friends I’ve made in my chair. I miss making you all feel beautiful.
.
We will get there again. I will reopen my doors as soon as I’m allowed to. I will, hopefully, be able to hug every single one of you! I HATE social distancing! I know that this is for the greater good, I know there is a purpose with this. But I’m not a fan of not getting to see my clients every day. I know God has a plan, I believe there is good to come from this.
.
Because this is ever changing, I am rescheduling people week by week. Will this end on the 21st? We don’t know.. thank you for being patient. Thank you for being kind. I’m so humbled by those who have reached out to say hello, to pre-pay, or just to say “I’m hangin’ I’m there!” You all mean so much to me. So will you, please, wait with me? ❤️

Have I mentioned my obsession with bobs? The shorter the better for me. The blunt ends and all that beautiful texture hidden in between..I love it. I also love that I do this color correction! It took 2 sessions to complete.
Session 1:
Heavy Babylights w/10vol + @olaplex 
Faux Root SEQ 7n + 8na + 000
Toner SEQ 10vv
She had such little root, I had to create a “safe zone” for her hair to grow out & had to consider her porous hair.
.
Session 2:
Heavy partial w/10vol + @olaplex 
Purple shampoo, no toner.

You guys, if only I remembered to take a before picture. This beautiful soul has been coming to be for close to a year, only for cuts. A few weeks ago she FINALLY let me lighten her locks, and ohh man was I a happy girl. Over the moon with the outcome too ✨
SEQ: 9n + 9v + 000

Day 13. I’m about to color Teddy’s fur. I’ve drank more coffee than I ever have. I’ve started working out again. And I’m thankful to be healthy..
..right before quarantine, I got to touch up and add some more blonde to this natural beauty’s red. Bringing her into more of a strawberry blonde, and boooyy was I in heaven!
Zero toner, only purple shampoo 🙂

Her hair got longer, so naturally she came home from college and said “do something crazy.” This girl has a crazy amount of hair, but I LOVED mixing different variations of pinks together to create a beautiful blend💓

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of doing this beauty’s hair. Fixing the old with lots and lots of babylights, and a few foilayage pieces! Toned with SEQ 9v
