Staff Picks: Hair Color Transformations

The world of hair color is multi-layered, blending artistry and science, and requiring exceptional attention to detail. We have chosen to delve into the most challenging aspects of hair color—color corrections and transformational colors, committing to the ongoing education and deep knowledge of the chemistry of color that these services require. Our stylist team shares a passion for being able to offer the types of color that require an eye for design and skill with painting, blending, and color balancing. We believe that being able to provide women with a hair cut, style, and color that they love can play…

Going Unicorn: HD Color Process feat. Kassy

I first added purple into my hair about four years ago and learned pretty quickly that having vivid colored hair meant people were going to talk to me about my hair a LOT. Luckily, I am hair-obsessed and love talking to anyone about hair and haircolor. People ask me everything from how long the color lasts, to how I keep it looking healthy, to whether or not I had to lighten it first (spoiler alert: YES). I have always LOVED having multi-colored hair, but it’s not just a commitment for me in terms of maintenance, but it’s a HUGE commitment…

Mom’s turn for “Summer Break”

Back to School: The Mom Edition For most of us it probably feels like Summer just began, but every mom is wondering whether it’s August yet, and is counting down the hours to the First Day of School. If your kiddos are in year round school, they may have already begun (if so, congrats to you), but if you’re still on the traditional calendar Summer likely becomes consumed with trips to the pool, family vacations (never really a vacation for Mom), and finding ways to entertain the kids. It’s exhausting, and it can feel like you haven’t had even a…

Updos for BBQs

It’s that time of year… you know the one. It’s Cookout Season It begins with Memorial Day and vaguely ends at Labor Day with a huge influx on the fourth day of July. It’s COOKOUT season. Whether you call it a cookout or a barbecue, it probably involves standing around outside drinking beer or lemonade, eating grilled food, and if you live in North Carolina, trying not to melt. If you have hair that touches your neck at all, you’re probably very familiar with the sticky frizz that happens when standing outside for longer than approximately five minutes in NC….

Preserve Your Summer Hair Color

Keep your Summer Hair Color Vibrant Summertime can be a blast—beach trips, pool days, lake days, sun tanning, and cooking out. We tend to be outside way more in the summer, and that often means extra exposure to both the sun and water. While all of these activities are tons of fun, if you color your hair, they can be your hair’s biggest enemy. We already told you all about the super cool SU line from Davines, so to continue our Summer Survival Guide, we’re giving you our BEST hair tips and tricks for PRESERVING your summer hair color all…
