A lot of things have changed since I last posted but the one I'm most excited to share is that I've added K-tips to the menu!

Today we installed 20" kinky curly Ktips that she will be able to wear both straight and curly. She can safely keep these in for up to 6 months without the need to constantly come back for touch ups or move ups.

If you've ever wondered if ktips are right for you shoot me a message and we can talk about what a Ktip install could look like for you!

Straightening your hair has so many benefits, so much so that I recommend getting them at least once a quarter.

✨Silk presses help to seal and smooth your hair cuticle, allowing for moisture to be locked into your strands.

✨When your hair is straight, you can easily see where your dead ends are and can make the choice to get a proper trim/cut. If you go too long without seeing the potential damage, you risk the split ends traveling further up the hair shaft and losing more length.

✨Often times, when we wear our hair straight, we are less likely to over manipulate our hair or tie it in too tight of ponytails. It's no coincidence that those who straighten their hair more often tend to have better length retention.

I am sooo excited to share that I am starting my own business in a salon suite!! I will be offering natural styling and braids! I am conveniently located in midtown and am available 6 days a week (3 days braiding, 3 days styling).

My booking link is in my bio but feel free to dm me if you have any questions 🤗

Side note: I am not offering rod sets or natural curl enhancements at the moment

I don't even know where to start. I am so freaking pleased with the outcome of her hair I have to admit pleasantly surprised!

Back in December of 2019 we did a color transformation (last picture) that was pretty but definitely warm. It was also very high maintenance considering her new growth was so much darker than the color.

This time around I wanted to make it cooler with a darker base for easier grow out. I had to balayage her ends the toned and shadow rooted using all color products.

Swipe to see how beautiful her color is from different angles 🥰

Also super shout out to for trusting me throughout this entire process. She started getting her hair braided by me years ago and has stuck with me through it all!

Continuing my week of color!

A few months ago Karen came to me with very bright and golden hair. As her color faded it started to expose more of the underlying warmth, aka orange 🙃. This visit we lightened her hair again using balayage techniques and blended it all together with a shadow root and some melted lowlights.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's color reveal 🤗🤗

These week I'm going to show some extra love to my color creations from this year so far! I normally do blondes but coppers are fun too!

She originally had blonde ombré/balayage that had grown out which was a perfect starting point for this copper. We used demi colors on her ends and permanent on her roots to give it a great warm blend. I recommend that if you don't want to use bleach to start considering red and copper tones to get introduced to safe hair color creations.

I don't think this picture needs a caption, her curls say it all
