Amy the cut queen! Thank you for giving my hair a new look and some TLC - Crystal W.

Summer can wreak havoc on your hair.

It’s probably time for a good snip, maybe a chlorine treatment, and a great hydrating conditioning treatment.

Was it beautiful before? Yes. But it also took 3 hair ties to put up. Fell down constantly mid workout. And cause headaches.

It’s beautiful still but now a bit more manageable. And doesn’t get stuck in an armpit anymore

Trim my bangs with me.

I can’t stand when my bangs get too long so I have to keep them up between appointments with @leighanhoyt

Sometimes when you are doing a big chop, or even just a significant enough trim, it can take a few days for your hair to settle.

Part of that is you getting used to your new look and part of it is that you are probably used to your ends feeling a lot more worn in (lived-in if you will); you have to learn how your hair moves again.

I have several clients that always text me a week later telling me they love their hair even though when they left I couldn’t get a good read on how they felt about their new look.

Oh I’m checking in on your hair. And just like in the last slide, if you aren’t loving it, please let me adjust it. Don’t live with hair you don’t like….

A lot of times, it’s a simple adjustment…

Maybe a spot was left too heavy…

Maybe your bangs needed to be just a bit shorter…

Maybe something is just not laying right…

It doesn’t hurt my feelings…

I want your hair to work for your lifestyle.

Love you 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

It was a good week. I hope everyone had a safe 4th. The summer is half over and I can’t believe it. We already got some back to school info.

How have you spent your summer?

That last one meant the world to me.

I designed my space with intention. I kept to minimal decor for the walls and calming colors throughout.

So often our homes are lived in and busy and full of life. And that’s amazing! So when it comes to finally finding some time to yourself for an hour or two, I wanted it to feel clean and calm and not overstimulating.

If you have been to see me, how would you describe it?

What a June it has been…

So let’s talk about the amount of hair on her head. She has a ton. Like the give you a headache amount.

She wanted to keep it long but lighten it up. I razored out a bunch of hair (swipe to see how much) and then brought up her face framing and added a bit more layering than I normally do. No she has a lighter amount of hair and a super cute bouncy pony

the vibe is set to chill at all times.

The vibe in my salon is all about YOU.

As a full time working mom I wanted to create an environment I would want to be in when I finally made time for myself. I intentionally don’t have a lot on the walls and don’t have a crazy color scheme in the salon.

It’s an environment that feels calm, nurturing, and safe to be yourself.

One of my favorite things is when you all comment on how good it feels in a space I have curated for you.

I think we can all agree some days we want a loud fun crazy salon, and other days… we just want to relax and chill. Which is your fav?

I was very excited to bring back so many techniques from my class with @jayne_edosalon.

It was worth the 12 hour drives and week long cold I am currently recovering from.

I love learning how to refine my cutting skills and classes always keep me inspired. Gotta keep all the babes of Lakeland looking fresh and confident.

And @sunshine___beals is always the best model.

Some signs you need a trim aside from just finding split ends when the sun hits them as you are driving in your car.

It is when your ends start to: get tangled, dry out really quickly, or feel kinda rough or lose color kind of quickly

Healthy ends make color look expensive.

Be honest. When was your last trim?

Also, please enjoy this video of my gorgeous friend through awkward angles because I am not a videographer.

You know what my favorite part of our appointments is?

The energy shift once you guys see your finished hair. Most of you “feel like a whole new person” or “feel like you can take on the world again”

It doesn’t even have to be a huge transformation. Just a refresh leaves us feeling our best. I like to think it’s a combo of salon vibes and a good haircut.

Let’s refresh your energy. 🤍🤍

Then boy do I have a service for you…
A Scalp Ritual is just what you are going to want to book.

So many of you say the “can I just stay here and take a nap” when we are in the shampoo room (should I call it the zen den 😂)

A scalp ritual is the perfect service for that exact thing. Pair it with a haircut service or just get one by itself for a recharge.

But also, I know you guys also need a space to zen out so I have put a lot of time and effort into making this a space that lets you escape for a hour or so.

Ps. My house is definitely not this calm and clean 😂 I’m a work in progress always. 🤍

Caring for your color starts the moment you leave the salon

Here’s what I recommend skipping if you want your tone to stay fresh:

Waiting 48 hours to wash after a fresh color
Hot water (yes I know, it sucks)
High heat (use a heat protectant and start with a low heat setting)
Non color safe shampoo (I don’t care if it’s salon or drugstore, just make sure it’s color safe)

Let’s talk pre-appointment nerves…

The most common thing you all seem to be nervous about is how to communicate what you want without knowing “stylist speak”

Rest assured, we talk through it with pictures, videos and patience.

But what I didn’t realize you guys were also nervous about is
•where do I park
•how do I find your suite
•what should I wear
•should I have clean hair or dirty hair
•how long will I be there

So I created a cute little welcome packet that I send out when you book an appointment with me. All the info is in there so you can know exactly what you are in for.

Have you been nervous before an appointment before? What would you want to know before you meet a new stylist? I am always looking for things to add in…let me know in the comments.

So, let’s chat about fine hair for a sec.

Sometimes, when you grow it out, it’s just not doing it for you. If you get too many layers, your ends feel thin and scraggly. If you don’t get enough layers, it just lays there.

Enter, what I call, just adding texture (lots of people call it that actually 😂)

On bobs that usually looks like very minimal layering, but cutting into the hair to add movement and lighten up the hair a bit. It doesn’t take away from the density at the ends, but if helps to make the hair feel a lot lighter.

Im just a girl trying to close her rings on any given day.

My outfit doesn’t affect how your hair looks. I will however, make sure I’m not stinky 😂

Was anyone ever taught how to properly diffuse?

No worries, I still struggle with it to this day. Halfway through, I’m like why did I do this? It looks like crap. Then when it’s done and properly styled it’s majestic.

I guess what I’m saying is trust the process.

It’s summer ☀️. It’s Florida 🍊. We all know what what means. Humidity. 💧

You may feel like your hair is freaking out right now. It’s ok. We are all going through it.

Here are some ways to help fight it 👊👊

• Express Keratin treatment. This is designed help combat frizz, reduce blow drying time, and reduce the amount of effort needed for a blowout. It lasts up to 6 weeks (with the right products)

• embrace your natural texture. I know this sounds scary for a lot of you. But with the right products and styling techniques, it is possible.

• change up your products. Different seasons call for different products. You may find that what works for you in the winter (a bit dryer time of the year) may make your hair feel weighed down and greasy in the summer time.

Lets chat about what we need to change up. Love ya! 🤍

Sometimes all we need for a little more pep in our step is a good haircut refresh.

It’s amazing how fresh hair can make you feel

Salon life lately

Salon life lately

For years we have been covering grays with permanent color; and while that’s a great option, it can leave you with a pretty harsh line of demarcation when your natural (whether it’s a lot of gray or a little) grows back in.

I have been transitions several clients to a more translucent demi color. It covers well but still leaves grays a little sparkly so the grow out is softer and less harsh.

You can see on the slides how well it has gone for this client. The last two slides are when she came back in for a touch up. It grew out so soft!!

The best part is, if you aren’t digging it as we can always go back to more opaque permanent color.

I know this can get kind of technical so what questions do you have for me? Is this something you may be interested in?
