The Experience
Before We Begin
-
When you book your appointment, you can select from a number of complimentary visit customization options, such as opting for a Silent Appointment, which minimizes conversation during your appointment.
You'll also have the option to add luxury upgrades. Didn't book it ahead of time, but feeling like adding something on the fly? No worries! I build a 'margin for magic' into every booked appointment to ensure you're well taken care of.
-
Whether you're in for a quick haircut, or a long blonding session, I've got you covered with a wide variety of options. Whether you're looking for something light or more indulgent, I've got a variety of complimentary sweet and savory snacks and beverages on hand at all times to keep you fueled and hydrated.
-
To ensure you're always covered, I have all the necessities available in the studio for you. Whether you need a work-station for your lap so you can stay on the job while being serviced, access to WIFI, a heating pad in case you're feeling a bit chilly, a charger for your phone or iPad, or simply a cold place to store a packed lunch (assuming you want more than the light snacks I have available), I've got you.
A Unique Process
-
Hair and scalp health is so important, and its condition can change at any time due to a variety of factors, including - but not limited to - the weather, water quality, or your overall health. Before every appointment begins, your hair's color, texture, condition, and scalp health is noted. We'll go over any struggles or changes you may be experiencing and we'll be sure to address any issues or make any adjustments.
-
At your first appointment, I'll begin the process of getting to know you by conducting a thorough Beauty & Lifestyle Consultation. We'll discuss your hair history, struggles, and goals to narrow down the plan for the day, as well as ensure the maintenance commitment is in alignment with your lifestyle. It is essential that your lifestyle is considered when designing a hair look and regimen so you can feel good about your hair 365 days a year, and not just when you're in the salon with me.
At subsequent appointments, we will have a more condensed, but no less thorough, Beauty Lifestyle Re-Connection Consultation to ensure you are still happy with your hair, uncover whether you are facing any new struggles, or are seeking change, to guarantee that your hair continues to align with your goals and lifestyle.
-
Every color and blonding service takes your hair's health into consideration. I select the gentlest formula possible for your hair, and a bond-repair product is built in to every lightening service I do.
The Little Extras
-
As long as you're a guest in my chair, you never have to wonder how to achieve salon quality styling at home. My mission is to set you up for success, so while I'm sure we will spend much of your appointment chatting about life and the new restaurant that just opened up, hair education will never be overlooked.
Whether you want to learn how to curl your hair, what to do with the brand new cut we did, what products are best for your hair, or even just proper shampoo technique... I'm an open book. No salon secrets here.
-
Interested in making your visit extra special? There are a variety of upgrades you can add to any package or a la carte service to make your experience even better.
From a bond-repair service to a deep conditioning treatment, or even essential oil aroma-therapy with scalp benefits, there are a number of options to choose from. These are available at time of booking, but even if you decide to treat yourself last minute, most luxury upgrades can be added on spur of the moment.
-
Nothing is overlooked when it comes to designing someone's style, whether that be the flexibility of a part line or how your hair looks when it's up in a ponytail.
If you switch up your part often, I'll be sure to cut your hair to accommodate that!
If you're on a budget, or even just a time constraint, and you wear your hair up often, adding hairline highlights to your service could be an excellent idea. It's just a few foils around the nape & front hairline to create the illusion you've had a Full Modern Blonding done when you've actually only booked a smaller maintenance appointment. Nobody has to know!
But it honestly goes so far beyond just a few unique service options, and I'm always trying to find new ways to enhance your experience in even the tiniest of ways.
The Perfect Finish
-
You'll be cleansed at least once with a gentle clarifying shampoo at each visit involving a shampoo. This clarifying and chelating shampoo helps to remove product build-up, some medications, chlorine, and minerals from hard water, giving us a clean slate to begin your service. It also boosts circulation to the scalp, without any risk of over-drying the scalp or stripping color.
If you are in need of extreme cleansing, ask me about a Hair and Scalp Detox service.
-
During the conditioning stage of your shampoo experience, firm pressure is gently focused around the hairline, temples, base of the skull, and neck to ease tension and enhance relaxation.
For anyone adverse to touch, you are more than welcome to request skipping this step.
-
All services (except standalone Bang Trims) include a Signature Finish, which is a complimentary blow dry style, to finish out the appointment. Not only do I want to make sure you're leaving looking and feeling your absolute best, but finishing with a blow dry allows me to ensure the colour looks as intended. It also gives me the opportunity to detail your haircut to perfection.
You also have the option to upgrade the complimentary Signature Finish to include the addition of hot tool styling (using a flat iron or curling iron).
