NEW GUESTS
Welcome, I'm So Glad You're Here!
Choosing a new hairstylist can feel overwhelming, and I want to make the process as simple and comfortable as possible.
Whether you're looking for dimensional color, blonding, gray coverage or blending, a customized haircut, texture or smoothing, or healthier-feeling hair, my goal is to create a personalized experience designed around your hair goals, lifestyle, and long-term hair health.
Your First Visit
Step 1: Choose Your Service
Start by choosing the service that most closely matches your hair goals. You don't need to know the exact technique - that's my job.
For blonding and dimensional color, choose based on the amount of change you'd like to see:
Low Impact — subtle brightness or maintenance
Medium Impact — noticeable brightness + dimension
High Impact — significant brightness or a larger change
Signature Lived-In Color — dimensional, lower-maintenance color with a soft grow-out
Not sure which service fits? Complete my consultation form and I'll help guide you. A separate consultation is required for color corrections, platinum transformations, and select specialty services.
Step 2: Tell Me About Your Hair
Once your appointment is booked, you'll receive a quick consultation form to complete before your visit.
You'll be able to share:
• Your hair goals
• Hair history
• Current concerns
• Inspiration photos
• Maintenance preferences
This helps me get to know you and your hair before we meet, so you can arrive feeling confident, prepared, and never rushed or overwhelmed.
Step 3: Let's Create a Plan Together
Depending on the service you've booked, we may connect virtually before your appointment, or we'll begin with a thorough consultation when you arrive.
During your consultation, we'll discuss:
Your goals and inspiration
Your hair history and current concerns
Your lifestyle and maintenance preferences
A realistic plan for achieving your desired result
Timing, pricing, and future appointments
Any questions you may have
My goal is for you to feel informed, comfortable, and confident before we begin.
Step 4: Enjoy Your Experience
Every appointment is designed to be more than just a hair service.
You'll enjoy:
✓ Personalized attention from start to finish
✓ A customized plan designed around your goals
✓ Expert recommendations without pressure
✓ Healthy hair-focused techniques and products
✓ Styling education and maintenance tips
✓ A comfortable, welcoming atmosphere
My goal is simple: beautiful hair that fits your lifestyle and leaves you feeling confident long after you leave the salon.
