Working Out with Extensions 💪🏼

One of the questions we get most often from our active guests is, “Can I work out with extensions?” And the answer is always, “YES! YES! YES!” One of the things that we love most about the extension method that we offer in the studio, which is NBR (Natural Beaded Rows), is how versatile it is. We wholeheartedly believe that beauty should be an extension of your lifestyle, not a deterrent from it. In fact all of the stylists in the studio maintain very active lifestyles while confidently wearing extensions. Yes, even swimming is ok! Today we are sharing a…

Confidence During Covid—5 Steps to Maintaining Confidence During a Pandemic

a word from Candice Motley Let’s be real—this time has been crazy for all of us, and most days it feels like we can barely stay sane no less keep ourselves feeling good. That’s why I wanted to break down the five steps I’ve taken since all of this began to stay sane and maintain my confidence. 1. SELF-CARE. It sounds so cliché, but I knew if I didn’t take care of myself, I wasn’t going to be able to accomplish anything else. The two biggest self-care things I did were exercise and journaling. I made sure I moved my…

Garnish Life Updates ✨

We wanted to bring you up to date on what’s happening in our studio because we have a couple of super exciting announcements! First up, April is expecting! We are so excited for her! We’ve affectionately nicknamed her baby Toodles. She is also in the process of transitioning to a full-time assistant role. She decided to jump in with both feet and has let go of her existing clientele in the pursuit of extension goodness. Hair extensions are something she’s been interested in for years and we’re thrilled to have her join the training to become a Garnish extension specialist….

All Black Lives more than Matter!

Garnish’s foundation, upon which everything else has been built, has always been our values. Diversity and inclusion top that list, and from day one we have strived to create a safe and comfortable space for anyone who walked in our doors. In 2017, we wrote out these values in a statement we called, “The All Colors Campaign.” The original statement read, “Our studio has been built on the values of diversity and inclusion, and through this campaign we hope to share the message that we welcome everyone to Garnish. No matter your race or religion, gender identity or politics, whether…

Garnish: First Week Update

We’re officially back and could not be more excited! Not only did we survive the quarantine, we did so with our entire team intact. Over the past several weeks we have been prepping to reopen—acquiring all the new safety gear, setting up the salon to ensure proper distancing, and thinking through the entire experience to make sure it still felt like Garnish. With so much new we definitely had some first day back jitters, but we’re happy to say that the whole week has gone smoothly and the jitters have subsided. You’ve heard us talk about the Garnish Experience before….

The day we have all been waiting for has finally arrived! Next Tuesday, May 26th, we will be reopening.

We know SO many of you are anxiously awaiting your appointment and we can’t wait to see you ALL as soon as we possibly can. Due to occupancy and distancing requirements, we won’t be able to get everyone in in the first week, but we…

When Plan B Bombs 💣

What happens when your Plan B gets completely axed? You get up and keep going. With the recent extension of the stay at home order along with the news that we may not even be in phase one of reopening, all of our current preparations and plans came to a sudden halt. Plan A was to never close, work through everything as best we can, make house calls as we were able, and keep servicing our guests. The stay at home order led us to Plan B, which was to take the next month, get all of our ducks in…
