... Read moreHey everyone! So many of you probably landed here curious about what it's really like to be a cosmetologist, especially when you're also juggling the world of content creation. For me, it's been an incredible journey blending my passion for hair and beauty with sharing that expertise online. Being a licensed cosmetologist isn't just about cutting hair or applying makeup; it's about understanding different hair types, skin tones, and client desires to create looks that truly make people feel their best. Every day brings a new challenge and a new opportunity to bring someone’s vision to life, whether it’s a stunning balayage or a sharp new haircut. The 'influencer' part came naturally because I genuinely love connecting with people and sharing what I've learned in the salon. I started posting my work, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and tips, and it just grew from there! It's a fantastic way to reach a wider audience beyond my salon chair, and connect with fellow beauty enthusiasts and aspiring cosmetologists. I often get asked, 'What's the best part?' and honestly, it’s seeing the confidence boost in my clients and knowing I played a small role in that. Plus, getting to experiment with new techniques and products keeps things exciting! Speaking of products, let's talk about some essentials. As a cosmetologist, I'm always on the hunt for game-changers. For instance, when it comes to enhancing features, a good mascara is non-negotiable for opening up the eyes. I've tried so many, and finding one that gives both volume and length without clumping is pure gold. Similarly, for those perfectly sculpted brows, lash and brow products that offer hold and definition are key. I’ve even come across interesting brands like LEAFAEL, which often focuses on innovative solutions for enhancing natural beauty. These are the kinds of discoveries I love sharing, because quality tools and products make all the difference, both in the salon and for your at-home routine. My goal with this platform and my other social media channels is to offer more than just pretty pictures. I want to provide valuable insights, practical tips for hair care and styling, and a realistic look into the life of a beauty professional. Whether you're looking for inspiration for your next hair color, advice on maintaining healthy locks, or simply interested in the cosmetology field, I hope you find something useful here. It's truly rewarding to combine my hands-on work with the ability to inspire and educate online. So, if you're curious about all things hair, beauty, and the life of a cosmetologist, make sure to follow along!

A title slide on a teal background reads "Let's Talk CARRIER OILS FOR HAIR!!" with a "SWIPE" indicator, introducing the topic.
This slide, on a teal background, asks viewers to "Know The Difference" between "heavy" and "light" carrier oils, featuring question marks and a confused character.
This image details "Heavy Oils" like Castor Oil and Coconut Oil, listing their benefits for thick, damaged, dry, or high porosity hair, including moisture sealing and frizz reduction.
Do you know what oils to avoid? (HAIR CARE)
🩵High porosity hair should avoid light oils, because it's almost like using nothing. High porosity is more dry, prone to extreme breakage and frizz so it needs heavy oils to seal in and KEEP moisture in the hair and they penetrate this porosity type better 🤌🏽 🩷Low porosity hair should avoid
