Just submitted my 9th contessas entry, and one thing I’ve learned is that sometimes you just have to start.

Whatever it is you’ve been thinking about create the collection, enter the competition, take the class, chase the idea. Don’t wait until you feel ready. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing. Just start. 🤍

Have you ever entered a Salon Magazine Contessa, or thought about entering?
What inspired you to take that first step? And who inspired you? 🖤🖤

The formula is only part of the equation.

Before we decide what we’re going to do to the hair, we have to understand the canvas we’re working with.

Porosity, density, hair history, texture… it all matters.

Because the hair is telling you exactly what it needs we just have to stop and look.

Do you ever catch yourself getting so focused on the end result that you forget to check the canvas first? 👀

This isn’t a new hack, just one of those easy-to-miss steps. 👏

Before using your lightener, at least once a day give the tub a good shake. Over time, some of the active ingredients responsible for lifting can settle, so shaking helps keep your lightener consistent from the first scoop to the last.

⚠️ Just make sure the lid is on first… unless you’re looking to redecorate your salon. 😂

Did you already know this, or is this your reminder? 👇

Can we talk about how underrated silver whites are? 👏

Whether your goal is to add depth and visual interest to naturally white hair or to neutralize yellow tones, silver whites are a tool every stylist should have in their arsenal.

This result is proof that white hair doesn’t have to be flat. A little strategic depth can create incredible dimension, shine, and sophistication.

How stunning is this transformation? 🤍

Do you use Igora silver whites regularly?

20 years ago they probably would’ve guessed a murder documentary storyline for me… 😜

instead this is where I ended up: hair, travel, education, reality TV opinions, plants I’m trying my best not to kill, and a life that somehow makes a lot more sense than expected.

What would your documentary look like? 😂
