Pandemic Hair gotcha down? Go see your friendly (covid safe!) neighborhood stylist! We will get you feeling fresh again while taking your safety and our own seriously! It makes me so happy when clients tell me how comfortable they feel in our salon. A little oasis in the midst of all of this stress. And we don't play when it comes to safety and sanitation! Stopping the spread of ANY disease between clients is something stylists should be taking seriously, and Covid is no different! My client hadn't had her hair colored since before the pandemic, and she was seriously wanting a pick me up! A partial highlight, olaplex, and a trim later and she was feelin fresh again!
Me in THIS BADDIE @seitansm1stress (ugh I love her so much but I digress) will be co-streaming LIVE together THIS FRIDAY 2/12 @ 6pm CST! Be there or be square babes! It's gonna be so much fun! Q&A, hangin, maybe some games??? We will see! Come hang out with us!
Let's talk skin care! I keep mine pretty simple, but even implementing these couple of things since the start of the pandemic has made a difference! First, I use the ELF Cleansing Duo Face Brush with the Pixi Clarity Cleanser. This is a deep cleaning cleanser with Salicylic, Glycolic, and Lactic Acids for deep cleaning and skin renewal. I never have used "deep cleaning" cleansers before, but after wearing masks 10+ hours, my skin was suffering. My chin is really the only place I break out when I have hormonal breakouts, and that on top of the mask was not good π I wash with that once a day, and use the Pixi Clarity Tonic after. It uses the same blend of acids and probiotics to keep the skin balanced and healthy! And then in the morning I use Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer/spf! At night I sometimes use a retinol serum but I'm really inconsistent with that. Look, I'm new to this! And let's be real there are nights I don't do this, but I always make sure to wipe my face with Aveeno Positively Radiant Wipes. Do you do anything with skincare?
Happy Sunday! I'm actually in the salon today doing my salon owner/friend/mentor's hair. No off days over here! But it's chill and we're just hanging out π π what are you up to this Sunday?
I think I might do a "Get Ready with Me" live on Friday the 12th, maybe about 6 pm CST. Would you watch? I'll probably do my makeup and/or hair and chat with you all! π₯°π
Do you have textured hair? Textured hair encompasses anything from loose waves to tightly coiled. Textured hair requires a bit more maintenance due to the cuticle of the hair naturally being more open. Every bend in your hair where it waves or coils is an opening in the cuticle so it's incredibly easy for textured hair to lose moisture and become dry and brittle, especially in cold climates! These are some of my go-to products and tools for textured hair!
Check your messages for the rest of this set, loves! I'm getting cozy and watching a movie π₯° I work super early Saturday morning, so Fridays are always nice and chill for me. Have a great start to the weekend babes!
Happy Friday bbs! Hope it's a good one! I woke up early, got ready, filmed some content and shot a set for you all that will be making its way to your DMs soon! Now it's time for a video chat with a friend and then running errands later. Are you doing anything fun today?

It's supposed to snow MORE tonight! We already barely got the last snow storm from Sunday cleaned up, I don't know where we will put more snow π π in the salon my usual 10 hours today so hopefully the drive home tonight won't be too bad. Send me some nice messages to read later when I can get back on! π₯°π₯°ππ photo by the always amazing @kitsuuvulpes!
So yesterday was....wild. I did 3 colors in 11 hours That's actually my dream. I LOVE doing color, especially long projects. I was running behind and stressed, and had things going on in my personal life, so didn't take as much footage of this as I wanted, but still got enough to make a short video! This took FIVE HOURS. She had enough hair for, I don't know, 10 people. But I got to take her Color Virginity π and we decided, go big or go home! We cut about 6 inches off, lightened it to a perfect pale blonde, and then I put a custom mix of pink over her fresh new ombre. Because I lifted her to a pure blonde, she can let the pink fade and then rock a pretty blonde ombre if she wants, or she might come back and do another fun color over it! (I kinda hope it's that option π she might do blue next ππ) hope you're having a great start to your Wednesday!
Good morning!βοΈAt the salon alllllllllll day today! I have a couple fun colors to do today so I'm hoping to make some little videos and whatnot for you all! PS there's more to this set...DM me if you want to see it and haven't yet!
Haven't watched Whisper of the Heart in.....decades probably lol but came across this still from it today and just wanted to leave it here. In today's world, self love is a radical act because everything around us tells us we are not enough and not worthy of self love. But we are. You are. Just for existing, you are worthy and enough.
I spent this afternoon digging 2 cars out from about a foot of snow soooooo I will be making some soup and relaxing the rest of the night! I'll probably pop on here to respond to some messages later as well. Happy Monday bbs π
Just a couple Elven Snow Queens β
@kitsuuvulpes and I have been Hair Besties for over half a decade now! I had a literal blast doing this shoot with her, and have so many awesome pictures to share! Should we do more collabs??
Just bein a snow bb! We actually have so much more snow right now than this! We just got like 8 or so inches overnight-when I opened my backdoor to let Mabel outside, the screen door hardly wanted to open π it's so beautiful though. I'm just grateful I don't have to leave my house today. A good, cozy day π₯°
Happy Saturday bbs! I'm in the salon all day today and then we are supposed to have another snow storm here. Hopefully I get home before it starts! I don't mind the snow, but also don't love driving in it π π what are your plans for today?
Alright I made you guys wait long enough to see my new color π π π I have a new shoot I want to share with you soon featuring it! Pink won by a TON which I was happy about because as soon as I posted that poll, I realized I wanted pink to win! Hope you're all having an amazing Friday so far!
One current makeup trend is the "fox eye" trend. This was my super quick version (and first attempt ever lol) for before work! Basically creating a liner with brown eyeshadow and blending it up to soften it to lift/snatch the eye! Hope you enjoy!
SONG: Lights On- Big Grams
So I've been at the dentist getting a crown for the last 4 hours and I'm very sleepy now so bear with me here bbs. I'll respond to messages later or tomorrow, promise. π Send me some good ones to wake up to after my nap βΊ some tips to help pay the 830 dollars I just dropped on my tooth would be *chefs kiss* amazing too πππ
It's so snowy here today! A perfect day for this fuzzy faux fur coat βΊ It's so soft and warm! But today I'm at work and not nearly as fabulous as I am in this photo set but that's okay π most of my clients canceled for today due to thr weather, so my DMs are definitely open to chat! Hope you're all having a spectacular Tuesday!

Can't wait to share more of this set with you guys! This shoot was sooooo much fun. I've done at least 3 shoots in the last week and it has honestly been so amazing. Creating content for you all has really unlocked an old passion in me. When I was a teenager during the MySpace days I would always do little photoshoots with my tiny trash digital camera and edit them as best as I could with no programs, but I always loved it. I forgot how much I loved it. Years of eating disorders and destroyed self confidence kept me away from the camera for a long time, and it feels so good to be back. I have you all to thank for that! Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting me. I love you guys!
Hmmmmmm what color did I do ππ send a little
tip and I'll post tonight! Going to do a shoot in the snow now π¨π¨π¨ and I can't wait! It's going to be gorgeous! Just like my shooting partner @kitsuuvulpes!
Balayage Goodness! Her hair was completely natural and I got to color it for the first time ever! That always makes me so excited when a client trusts me to color their hair for the first time. We kept it subtle, yet noticeable for a nice pop of caramel in her natural chocolatey color π«π€€
I know you guys are ready to see the rest of this set in your DMs today, right??? I absolutely love these pictures! I hope you are all have a great Friday- it's super super cold here today but also super sunny so I'm happy about that! After posting that little picture from Spririted Away yesterday, I think I might lay in bed a bit longer and watch either Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away. Or Howl's. Help me decide in the comments!
Hey bbs π if you need it, here is your random Thursday reminder that everything is temporary and everything will be okay! So bask in the great moments, and know the hard ones will pass. I've had a couple great days in a row thanks to my meds, my partner, my job, and my own damn self! It takes a lot of work sometimes, but it is always worth it. Love you all! Ps whats your favorite Ghibli film? Mines a toss up between Totoro and Howl's. And Ponyo. And Spirited Away. And idk all of them. π π
Happy Thursday babes! Just popping in before work to say hi and that I hope you all have a good day! I hurt my neck SLEEPING on Tuesday night (lmaooo) and am fully booked today so that should be interesting π¬π¬ already dreaming of sleeping in Sunday morning π΄π΄ talk soon bbs!
Gotta love a perfect blend! ππ€€ I love the Matrix HD reds so much! They are perfect for you if you love a vibrant red that LASTS! The color technology uses a 6 sided color dye molecule that is able to penetrate the cuticle and expand to stick better than average color molecules. Pretty cool! That being said, it's not a great choice for people who like to change their color up a lot for those same reasons! I'm a huge fan of red hair, it's so fun!
A lil sneak peak of some of the content I worked on this weekend ππ the bb goth kid in me can't pass up the opportunity to use a black galaxy themed bath bomb π i think it turned out pretty cool tho!
Checking out of the hotel soon here- why are hotel linens so much cozier than at home ones?! It's like laying in a fluffy cloud βΊβοΈ messages are still loading extremely slow for me so thanks for your patience bbs! I swear I'll get back to you, and those of you who have tipped will, as always, get first response! More content creation today so I will be back on later this afternoon to check how messages are loading! Happy Monday bbs π₯°π
