Come do a customized partial highlight with me ! πŸ’—
Including foiling, shampooing, toning, blow drying & final look.
.
.
.
A partial highlight focuses brightness right where you’ll see it most- usually around the face, crown, or top layers. What makes it so nice is that it’s customizable depending on where you want the brightness

They’re also the perfect β€œin-between” service if you don’t quite need a full foil refresh but still want your color to feel fresh and dimensional. Think: less time in the chair, but still maximum impact.

Would you book a full foil or partial for your next visit?

Brazilian blowout for Ellie! Ellie has the thickest hair in the best way! This Brazilian took us 4 hours with Alex working on half and me working on the other half. But it was worth it to cut her drying time in half, make this hair super manageable, and give her insane shine and smoothness! Her gorgeous natural color is a bonus!

More vivids please!! πŸ™πŸΌ Haley came in and gave me total creative freedom today, and this is what I came up with. πŸ–ŒοΈ

Scroll for her before and processing pics! First I attempted to remove some of that previous color, this is why you have to be careful of that salllys dye as it wants to stick around through thick n thinπŸ˜‚ we kept the bleach off scalp at her preference and used all Elumen classic for the vivids.
I did a color melt/ switch pinwheel placement, alternating the base color and end color each section.
For her cut she’s growing out a pixie (big psych if you voted on my stories) so we just evened up the back, blended the front while we wait for it to grow and removed some weight.
Thanks for looking!🫢🏼
