Hair by Nikole

💜 The no.1 question I get from clients wanting vivid hair…

“How long is it going to last?”

The honest answer? It depends.

Vivids are designed to fade—it’s part of what makes them so fun! But how they fade depends on:
✨ Your at-home care
✨ How often you wash
✨ Water temperature
✨ The products you use
✨ Sun, chlorine, and heat exposure
✨ And, of course, the color we started with.

The photos in this post are a perfect example. 👆 This is the same client! Collage is her hair when she comes back for a retouch. She likes to come back around 3+ months for something fresh. In between appointments she’s doing allllll the things to protect her hair! Shampooing with cold water, washing 1-2 times a week. She doesn’t do a whole lot of heat. She stays out of the pool but if she in everyone knows we do not get aunties hair wet! lol!

Because let’s remember beauties… our hair is an INVESTMENT! And longevity comes from care!
The goal isn’t always to keep it looking like day one forever. The goal is to create a color you’ll love through every stage of its journey.

Want your vivids to last as long as possible? I’ll send you home with a personalized maintenance plan and product recommendations to keep your color looking its best.

💜 Is your purple shampoo actually the problem… or is your hair too warm for it to work? 💜

Purple shampoo is amazing—but it’s not magic.

✨ It works best on very light blonde hair (levels 9-10) by neutralizing yellow tones.

If your hair is a level 8 or darker, your brassiness is usually more gold, orange, or copper, and purple shampoo alone may not be enough to give you the icy blonde you’re after.

Here’s a quick guide:
💜 Levels 9-10: Purple shampoo works beautifully.
💜 Level 8: May help, but results are limited.
⚠️ Levels 7 and below: You’ll likely need a toner, gloss, or another professional service to truly cancel the warmth.

If you’ve been using purple shampoo religiously and still aren’t seeing the results you want, it may not be the shampoo—it may be your starting level.

📩 Not sure what level your hair is? Send me a photo in natural lighting, and I’ll help point you in the right direction! ✨💜

Appointments are going fast! School is right around the corner!
AUGUST IS HERE!!!

I’m so excited for all the new updates!

There is a new “BOOK NOW” button on my page. This will take everyone directly to my booking site.
This new booking site combined my website, my booking system and my payment options all into and gives me even more. This is great for all of us! Feel free to click on the button and take a peak around. I’ll be adding more and more photos to my portfolio! I’m working hard on getting everything updated and running super efficient for all of us!

Thank you all! Let’s make it a great week everyone!

Booking is available on glossgenius!

www.hbn06.glossgenius.com to book your appointment!!

✨GOODBYE VAGARO! HELLO GLOSSGENIUS!✨

After long consideration and listening to your concerns with Vagaro, I will be moving booking sites. I know... for some of you again. lol
I've been getting feedback about Vagaro lately and not much of it is good. I think that at this time it would be more beneficial for my guests and myself to make a change!
https://hbn06.glossgenius.com is the new booking link!
Booking is not quite open yet! But it will be here soon! I need to make a couple more adjustments and get all of my appointments on the book to avoid double booking. I am still waiting for GlossGenius to finish transfering over my clients and once that is finished (fingers crossed by tomorrow) then booking will be open.
PLEASE NOTE! BOOKING WILL BE UNAVAILABLE STARTING AUGUST 3RD ON VAGARO! THE ONLY PLACE TO BOOK WILL BE USING GLOSSGENIUS!
As always thank you for all of the support and understanding!
You are all the best! Here's to growth and always evolving! My goal is to always bring forth the best the hair industry has to offer to you!

XOXO

Good morning!!!

Soooo…..bear with me as I say…..

I’m switching to a new company for my booking!

Im thinking it’ll be August by time it’s set up. But I’m switching to GlossGenius and ending my forever toxic relationship with Vagaro.
Lately I’ve been getting messages of people who can’t book bc Vagaro won’t let them access their account, or it doesn’t show availability. Booking all around tends to be a mess. Constantly glitching and charging people for things they shouldn’t be charged for. I’ve had enough.
Glossgenius gives the ease in booking and you don’t have to have an account! I will also be using this system to check out my guests giving all of you an easier check out process as well! Everything I need will be all in one location and I’m so excited about this!

Also! This week I’m booked solid. But next week I still have some openings! If you’re thinking about making the appointment I would do so soon. One thing I know about a busy week early in the week…. The next week about to fill up quick too!

Don’t forget two back to school specials! One of them is a one day only!! $5 kids cuts when your little brings in their favorite book to read! August 14th!!!

Have a great week everyone!!!
