Nobody talks about the behind the scenes👇🏼⁣ ⁣ So listen, no stylist gets it right the first time every single time.⁣ ⁣ This client and I talked specifically about what her end goal was before the service started. She showed me pictures, told me she wanted dimension, wanted to lighten the ends, keep the root dark while embracing her grey roots, and have beautiful contrast.⁣ ⁣ So we did just that. 3.5 hours into the service, we dried it...⁣ ⁣ It just wasn’t right⁣ ⁣ There was no depth at the root. The blonde just blended wayyy too closely with the grey making it look like a traditional highlight.⁣ ⁣ I NEEDED to add a root. Otherwise the depth and contrast she wanted just wasn’t there.⁣ ⁣ I could have stopped there, taken the easy way out, been done with it and sent her on her way later to find out she wasn’t happy.. but at least the job was done right?...⁣ ⁣ No... that is not a part of my mission as a stylist.⁣ ⁣ I save room in my schedule for incidents like these because if I don’t get it right the first time, it’ll be right before you step foot out of the salon.⁣ ⁣ So we added a root, we dried and curled it, and there you have the final result.⁣ ⁣ The reason I share this is because the expectation of greatness should not be based on perfection. Perfect results the first time every time just isn’t realistic. But what IS realistic and what you as a client should look for in a stylist is the willingness to do whatever it takes to do THEIR BEST before you leave the salon. Even when that means taking extra steps.⁣ ⁣ Stylists- do YOUR best and walk away proudly from each service with just that.⁣ Clients- look for determination and willingness in your stylist. Because that is so much better then perfection.🤍⁣ ⁣
Have you ever asked this question?⁣ ⁣ Things t Have you ever asked this question?⁣ ⁣ Things to consider:⁣ ✨What is your hairs current length?⁣ ✨What are your hair goals?⁣ ✨What kind of haircut do you have and/or desire to have?⁣ ⁣ Truth is, the timeframe in which you should follow for regular haircuts is UNIQUE to you. Not a one size fits all 6-8 weeks..⁣ ⁣ In today’s blog I go into detail about why and when YOU should get a haircut. (Link in bio)
“What kind of hair tie should I be using?”⁣ “What kind of hair tie should I be using?”⁣ ⁣ It’s no secret around here that I LOVE scrunchies. But good news, scrunchies aren’t the ONLY hair tie that I would deem “healthy” for your hair.⁣ ⁣ The goal in finding a good hair tie is finding one that does NOT cause breakage.⁣ ⁣ Hair ties to consider investing in would be:⁣ ✨Scrunchies⁣ ✨Invisibobble Spiral hair ties⁣ ✨Cyndibands hair ties⁣ ✨Blax Snag-free hair elastics ⁣ ⁣ Hair ties to avoid:⁣ ❌Drug Store basic elastics⁣ ❌Rubber Bands⁣ ❌Any hair tie with exposed metal⁣ ⁣ What you want:⁣ ✨ Fabric that is stretchy and soft⁣ ✨ Material that tightens but does not pull⁣ ✨ Silk fabric⁣ ⁣ What you don’t want:⁣ ❌Metal⁣ ❌Material that grabs the hair and pulls⁣ ❌Tight hold that creates “dents” in hair⁣ ⁣
Fake tanning, cheap drugstore skincare, no sunscre Fake tanning, cheap drugstore skincare, no sunscreen, washing your face with dove soap, tanning oil... sound familiar to anyone else???⁣ ⁣ This was me for years. Maybe I thought I’d fall into the 1% who have flawless skin from infant to elderly🤦🏼‍♀️⁣ ⁣ On the blog, I’m talking about the one very important ingredient my skincare was STILL lacking even after switching to cleaner and reliable skin care!⁣ ⁣ @dermadoctor_skincare has truly changed the name of the game for me. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Product is linked in blog post and link to blog is in my bio!✨
We all have perceptions of what different careers We all have perceptions of what different careers “do” look like or “should” look like.⁣ ⁣ Some call those stereotypes!⁣ ⁣ But what if I told you what it’s really like to be a hairstylist? The actual potential with this career? The temptations we often believe and give way to? The highs and lows?⁣ ⁣ Vulnerability is important because no job and no life is always smooth sailing. Each of us carry unique challenges as well as victories. None are the same, but we all deal- aka REAL LIFE.⁣ ⁣ Today’s blog is “confessions of a hairstylist”.. link is in my bio- go check it out!✨
I’ve said it before.. I haven’t always priorit I’ve said it before.. I haven’t always prioritized the quality of my skin care products or my routine.⁣ ⁣ It wasn’t until last year that it finally hit me... if I don’t take care of my skin now, when will I start? And what if I start too late?⁣ ⁣ We were given one body, let’s take care of it. Not just for the fleeting satisfaction of “looking good”, but for the protection of our bodies from disease.⁣ ⁣ Our skin is the largest organ in our body. It deserves care just like every other.⁣ ⁣ I wrote a blog on my current skin care routine and why I am loving it, so if you don’t know where to start, take a read. shesbasicallyblonde.com
The new normal- masks in every picture 😷 How a The new normal- masks in every picture 😷 How are you doing friend? I mean with all the changes. Adapting to the new normal... are you doing okay? How is your attitude? Do you agree with the mandates set in front of us? Are you like me and wonder when the day will come when we will taste “freedom” again? I won’t lie, nothing feels normal over here. Still... But I’m holding onto hope that someday SOON, we will be able to adjust back to life as we knew it. I want to know👇🏼 Do you have to wear a mask for work???
What is the difference? Gearing up for tomorrow’s blog post that is all about fall🍁 hair colors😳😳, I wanted to touch on dimensional blonde VS dimensional brunette!👇🏼 Dimensional Blonde ✨85% of the hair is blonde ✨Lowlights are added to blonde hair to break it up and add dimension ✨Often time a “shadow root” or “root melt” is added to create depth at the root ✨The hair appears overall “bright” Dimensional Brunette ✨85% of the hair is brunette ✨Dark color is applied to majority of hair while either leaving a few blonde pieces or adding a few blonde pieces to create dimension ✨The hair appears overall “dark” with lighter pieces throughout the ends
How can YOU enhance your natural beauty?✨👇🏼⁣ ⁣ ☝🏼 Speak affirmations to yourself daily- I’m not talking preaching prideful, self centered messages to yourself. Rather identifying what is TRUE and speaking life into your own heart and mind rather then negativity, comparison, and discontentment with yourself⁣ ⁣ ✌🏼 Educate yourself- watch videos on how to enhance rather then cover up. Seek out the experts. Identify your style, find the experts, and learn! Have fun with it and let go of the pressure of doing what the girl next door does with her makeup and hair.⁣ ⁣ ☝🏼✌🏼 Guard your eyes and mind- what we fill our minds with is what we will begin to believe. If something you are seeing daily is toxic or causing you insecurity, get rid of it. Stop following her. Unsubscribe. Make the choice⁣ ⁣
