For Alexis’s latest cut we went back to butterfly framing but started it at your grown out bang, higher than the first time, which gave a more tiered, waterfall-like effect. Such a fun and flirty look for summer! Book with me at theupperhandriveroaks

Alina was my first transformation of 2025 and came in wanting a lot more blonde and a slightly cooler tone. We achieved this look using slices all over without overlapping on previously lightened hair to protect her hairs integrity!

Okay, so this one’s been sitting in my drafts for way too long… but how could I not show off this jaw-dropping transformation on my niece?!

From grown-out to goddess—these rich violet tones gave her hair a whole new life.
It may be an old pic, but the color still hits every time!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I might’ve been quiet on here, but trust—I’ve been behind the chair creating magic. More to come soon!
