I’m a hairstylist but I’m also….

It's amazing how many people ask me, 'what color is my hair?' not just in my salon chair, but often through DMs or when I'm out and about! As a hairstylist, it's one of my favorite questions because it opens up a conversation about so much more than just a shade. It's about personal style, lifestyle, and maintaining healthy strands. For me, choosing the right hair color isn't just about what's trending; it's about what truly complements your skin tone, enhances your features, and fits your daily routine. As a busy dog mom and gym rat, I need a color that's low maintenance but still makes me feel fantastic, even when I'm rushing between appointments or heading to the dog park. I often advise my clients to consider their natural undertones – are you warm, cool, or neutral? This is crucial for selecting a color that truly makes your eyes pop and your skin glow. Beyond just the color, the health of your hair is paramount. I've seen firsthand how damaged hair struggles to hold color or look vibrant. That's why I'm a huge advocate for treatments that protect and strengthen the hair from within. Think of bond-repairing treatments as an essential shield, especially if you love to experiment with color or use heat styling. As a business owner in the beauty industry, I'm always researching the best products and techniques to ensure my clients' hair, and my own, stays in top condition. It's not just about looking good, it's about feeling confident in your hair's strength and resilience. My life in Huntsville as a hairstylist and business owner is incredibly fulfilling, but it's just one facet of who I am. Balancing work with my personal life, including my furry companions and my gym routine, means my personal care has to be efficient and effective. My beauty regimen extends beyond just hair. It’s about a holistic approach – good skincare, a quick but effective makeup routine, and embracing self-care. I’ve learned that taking care of myself, whether it’s a quick facial mask after a long day or making sure I hit my gym sessions, directly impacts my energy and creativity in the salon. It’s all interconnected. Being a hairstylist isn't just a job; it's a connection. I love being a safe space for my clients, listening to their stories, and helping them feel their best. It's truly a privilege. And yes, sometimes that means offering advice on what color is your hair while also sharing stories about my latest gym achievements or my dog's silly antics. It’s about building trust and community, both inside and outside the salon chair, and showing up as my authentic self in every role I play.
