So I'm turning 35 at the end of the month...⁣

Funny thing is, I feel pressure - but it's tempered. It's more inner fuel and gratification of effort off the scenes than suffocation or disappointment. It’s been a busy year thus far of inner framework rebuilding & generally, education building as I build up to launch some new things (yay, I have finished a few guides & working towards video to go along) & you know.. life just throwing it’s curveballs! All is well, but it means I’m quiet around here! ⁣

I haven’t had much time or desire to get weekday hair fancy being it’s winter and I’m busy with work keeping me indoors more. Plus… sweaters, lots of sweaters. Lots of tangles. Lots of ponies. That being said, the days I wash my hair I’m still doing a good day one blow dry. Always. It saves me time and just makes me feel better. I adjust my wardrobe accordingly, and it keeps my hair going longer, no matter how I style it. ⁣

The right tools, and the right approach, gets me through my blow dry pretty quickly and needs far less refreshing in the following days. Head over to this blog post where I cover the Better Than Average Blow Dry that will make your life easier: direction for dense hair or fine hair!⁣

Kristen is a perfect example of why I structure appointments in a more modern, individual service booking.⁣

New appointments are often lengthier because of newness to each other & consultation time. I always recommended selecting a lengthier service option when booking, but instead of doing a heavier dimensional painting just to make more money, I decided after our consult that another direction was best to start.⁣

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀⁣
✨ V dense, thick natural hair, services every 3-4 months⁣
✨ Dryness concentrated on the ends ⁣
✨ Weight removal was needed to lighten the shape & being more movement ⁣
✨Prior color brassed out & dulling, fading results in loss of dimension ⁣
✨Dark roots around face frame were the primary regrowth issues ⁣

The best option for now would more of a “petite refresh” Vs adding lots of new dimension. ⁣

𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻⁣
🎨 Refresh roots around the face⁣
🎨 Pop in couple foils throughout the visual region to boost dimension⁣
🎨 Tone out the brass⁣

Whenever you cool something off it appears darker & toning off/down takes time! ⁣

She enjoys being brunette, so the overall goal was tone & adjust depth. This keeps her hair healthier throughout the dryer winter months, and when she’s due for a reshape closer to summer we can add more brightness, if she’s in the mood!⁣

𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴⁣
✂️ Likes length, wears hair up frequently (she teaches yoga!)⁣
✂️ Internal weight removal and movement⁣
✂️ Bring up the layering higher/remove the dead ends ⁣

If you’re unsure of which service you need, as your digital consult form and photos will give me a better idea of timing. I always recommended selecting a lengthier service option when booking initially, bc we can adjust. ⁣

I prefer to have more time than be crunched and rushing you out the door, regretful. Getting to know someone’s hair and how it individually reacts to color takes time, so it’s always better to have extra. Some hair is denser, coarser or more damaged and requires a little more time or TLC. ⁣

This also leaves time to style, take photos, and go over any questions about home care challenges or product/styling recommendations you have 🎀🫧🫶⁣

The most common dry shampoo mistakes come from not maximizing the potential in that can! ⁣

👍 Lightly spritzing fresh hair increases texture, adds volume, and gives a little grip!⁣

👍 Massaging scalp & brushing your hair spreads product. Grab a blowdryer and do a dry refresh for extra power.⁣

👍 Smaller Sections! Don't try and spray all over in a big circle - save that for hairspray.⁣

🛑 Don't use too much dry shampoo⁣

⌛️ Using too late ⁣

👎 Spraying less than 6" away. A mist spreads out, we're going for coverage!⁣

𝟱𝟰% 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟯. I would definitely try starting a day earlier & see what changes in bounce and style longevity happen! ⁣

And, remember - we're going for a spritz & mist! If you're drowning your head in dry shampoo you can⁣
- Clog your scalp and hinder circulation & growth⁣
- Weigh down hair⁣
- Powdery film or product build up ⁣
- Generally make things smell good but look... dry. ⁣

💕🫧🤲 🫧 💕⁣

One of the pieces that keeps me inspired is the exchanging of information & new tricks with my guests, including what I learn back! ⁣

During my time away, that was one of the things I missed the most until Salve got going. The podcast featured in one of my recent blogs posts on K18 came directly from a client recommendation - thanks Amy!⁣

At Salve, our exchange starts during the consultation but we'll share knowledge nuggets all throughout our time together.⁣

Whether it's keeping you informed as to is happening when we transition chairs, lifting your layers to show you the visual change in volume, showing you how to hold that can of hairspray, or listening to your recent finds - we're always sharing and learning. Thanks for being apart of that! ⁣

COPPER | nature intensified 🧡🚨⁣

Copper hair is the ideal hair color for those who want a glamorous and innovative hair color that is not too far from a homegrown shade of natural reds. Fall and winter are the times to go for warm hair tones and say goodbye to blonde and pastel hues, bring warmth to our faces and lives. If you don’t feel ready to go full pink, magenta or the forever style favorite, light to pastel pink, pause right here. Either all over, or glossed over or paneled in; copper could be the hue you have been searching for.⁣

Need a confidence boost? Get your hair done…or be forced to rebuild your life. That ish will light a 🔥 in you like none other. ⁣

I could have drowned. I could have wept forever & rode on someone else’s coat tails to make my way back. But I didn’t. I choose the hard work (therapy, constant PT, biz classes, working my tail off behind the scenes few people ever realize or see) without anyone asking me or telling I needed to do it. I keep showing up in all of the ways, for myself.⁣

This journey over the last couple years of nearly losing everything I worked so hard for (my home, business, physical functional body, and for awhile: my voice, confidence, ability to make sense of the world bc ) was a lot. I wish it on no one.⁣

TBH, it almost killed me. There were days I was in so much physical & emotional pain I wanted to walk into the ocean & just stand there until a riptide took me away from the pain of it all. ⁣

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to properly put into words the depths of how heart breakingly painful things were. Not in a way that could make you actually feel, in your bones, the lowest of low levels of grief, despair, sadness, and hopelessness that rocked through me. ⁣

But dang, looking at things today. I couldn’t be more proud. Yea, I’ve stumbled, flawed, had moments in this rebuild where I tried too hard bc I just needed my life, voice, support & some happiness back. The things that made me feel alive, thrive & flourish. Every AM, I’m out of bed before most of the world (except my early hospital crew, we all up together ❤️) working on my ish. ⁣

No one was going to give it to me, except me. I choose to dig into the hard work & it has been worth it. Not done yet, but where I am now vs 6 months ago (afraid, confused, crumbling and clawing to just keep going) feel years apart. ⁣

I don’t have back everything lost, but that wasn’t the goal. The goal: a new, better, balanced Lex/Salve/life/future - for us all ❤️ ⁣

To all who have seen me through this: thank you. I love you (& me) more than I can ever articulate. Your integrity, support, friendship & love kept me from actually walking into that riptide. ⁣

A healthy blonde makeover; shining bright in every light 💡 ⁣

What keeps blonde & colored hair healthy? Good at home routine. Before & between your appointments. ⁣

What we do in the salon has a major effect on the health and shine of your hair, but how you care for your locks at home is the *MOST* important. ⁣

💇‍♀️ Visit prep: Come in with FRESHLY washed clean hair; we need the chemicals to effectively pe*****te, which can’t happen over oil & product build up (dry shampoo, I see you).⁣

My role: I did multiple rounds of (before bleach application, before toning, and pre-deep conditioning). K18 goes deep to repair the hair, while Nourishing Pak mask added some much needed moisture and extra protein to these thirsty summer strands. ⁣

K18 is the gold star, but I encourage all my clients to make sure they are also doing a potent moisture mask ever 1-2 weeks, especially as the seasons change and your hair gets thristier. I have a few on hand and can direct you to what’s right for your needs. Nothing can compete with a good cut (sometimes those ends gotta go), but regular professional care at home keeps your hair color investment protected. ⁣

K18 peptide prep is a new shampoo I’m encouraging my blondes to swap out at home. They also released an incredible Detox shampoo that could be used 2-4x per month, as well as right before you come in for your color⁣

💜 Purple toning shampoos are lovely, but too much isn’t good - and with the seasons changing it’s time ditch the regular violet in lieu of something more reparative. You’ll find the color and structure of your hair lasts muchhh longer!⁣

Last photo shows you the before (hair in need of TLC) & what the power of art & chemistry can do to improve your hair in just a few hours! And this head was LOADED in bleach. Start low & slow, we’ll take it from there

Aging! Stress! Hair Loss! ⁣

Is something changing? Maybe/Depends - so let’s touch lightly on some hair science & your body. ⁣

Stress has a huge impact on the health of our bodies & thus hair, but sometimes there’s more to it. Medications can affect everything from your mood to the way your hair color processes - affecting what’s achievable. So can mineral and metal build up on the hair due to poor water quality, medicated shampoos & lack of proper weekly clarifying. ⁣

Always, always, 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 - come to your color appointment with freshly clean hair. Sing it from the rooftops because it will 100% impact the speed and result of your appointment. Even chemicals can meet their match when it comes to product build up (looking at my dry shampoo queen👸) and built up oil. ⁣

can’t pe*****te into a full cuticle very well, neither can dye/bleach. The more you know! ⁣

Fainting good kinda gorgeous; the consult, end result & this soul in the chair⁣

Took this one from a pretty basic, bland, no dimensions blonde to a rooted, lived in but bright stunner ☀️ The consult makes or breaks the outcome, on the stylist end and to the client. Allows us to hear each other (and really listen) while getting an understanding of comfort levels and what your eye is drawn too. Taylor’s stylist moved away & she has been struggling to find a good fit ever since; photos we key in guiding me to know how far to push. Had I operated on just what she walked in with, the look would have been alllll wrongggg. But photos from her last colorist (killer job, props), photos of my own blondes she liked, and a photo of something eye catching but drastically different than what she walked in with made all the difference in the end result. Zero heat used, but still got that lift baby. You don’t need to bake the hair to get light, you just been to really tune in on what’s going on while it’s happening and know where to adjust technique for different hair. Her’s was definitely is slow on the lift (which she told me herself. And I actually listened) but the collaboration on the consult leas the path for where we needed to go. Totally wish we’d taken a before, but the after still speaks for itself.⁣

Also, seems like half my clientele these days works in medicine these days. Just a funny little universe thread I’ve noticed 🪡 ⁣

Thanks for a great one 💕 & for letting me punch it up in a way that doesn’t have you back in the chair in 4 more weeks, due to maintenance or boredom ❤️⁣

Not hair, but some really big hearted good Wednesday juju for you ❤️ Slide for a tickle. ⁣

I had no idea this little thing existed down the road from , but was alerted to it by one of the local Reston/Herndon community groups. We had some (new) snacks, puzzles & other items that needed the love of a new child: mostly, Charlie’s childhood Tigger from our Dad. ⁣

Miss you Big Man, but Char & I both agreed it was time for him to find a family that would love him with an equally big heart like you had. My Mom didn’t have the heart to just throw him out (I did think about it a few times, I can be ruthless when it comes to old clutter) but never seemed right. Managed to find Eeyore a new family (in the family) a couple years ago, but Tigger just kept just moving from various room to room. He was in great condition so I even tried give him to some friends with kids, but no one wanted “another toy” in their house… sooo this just felt right when I saw it!⁣

Hopefully he goes home to a new family and gets even more hugs than he got from us, and helps someone else sleep feeling loved at night. ⁣

Happy Wednesday friends, appreciate the big ole world of the good ones that’s still out there. Lucky to have grown up in such a good community, and glad to see peoples big hearts are still growing. ⁣

If you’d like to do a drop off, put ‘Fur Factory’ into your GPS. The address listed on the group kept taking me ro Tall Oaks Pool, but the pantry is actually located across the way in the new shopping center! ⁣

Describe your hair colorist style: Soft, but Bold. Rich, but understated. Class, but just trendy enough. Timeless, but better every year ✨⁣

One could say, “speak softly but carry a big stick”

Truly, my Day 1 Muse; here. Idk even know how long I’ve been doing Mere’s hair, but when I look at the old photos I’m blown away by where we were Vs where my work is now. Makes me appreciate how much it took to go back to the basics, flip everything it thought as bebe colorist on its head, and hone in on precision & continued learning, and trusting that I didn’t have to copy anyone else’s hairstyle methods. My work style is truly a product of all the ones that taught me, blended with my own “create art your way, as long as you’re approaching it logically” personality. Continuously educating yourself rarely fails - but sometimes you fully appreciate it until you’re looking in another light, on another day, when the dust has settled✨ We’re forever a work in progress, but the work is also speaking for itself. That’s a thing to be proud of - helps when it shine just right.⁣

Thanks for forever believing & trusting in me girlfriend, and for always being realistic enough that we can always find the perfectly colored middle ground. I appreciate ya always, you’re just the cat’s meow 😻 ⁣

“Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it” | Margaret Thatcher 🌇🌆⁣

For me, that kinda of day includes a multitude of pieces; from working on my being, the business, and m still holding the balance of being presence. Because when we are present to the journey, joys pain & pressure points of what’s happening to everything & everyone around us, I can pause to see the correlation. I can stop and take in the smaller, somewhat inconspicuous beautiful moments of this shared life that connect us all. ⁣

Be it nature, or a soulful conversation with clients & old friends. I learn the most in those days; to slow down, to speed up, to hit pause, to listen & to tune into the energy around me and who needs a little extra “me” that day. Sometimes it’s myself, sometimes it’s the ones I love. ⁣

The reciprocity of nature: what comes up always comes down, and repeats again as the world spins around us. ⁣

This one is for ⁣

We didn’t get a hair photo, but we got 5 hours of together time. We’ve known each other nearly a decade now, and few people feel like home and love and reciprocal energy the way she does. We may be decades apart, but we speak the same soul language. Lucky to have you in my life; as more than just a client - but as a friend and guiding light in dark. Thank you for seeing me through all challenging times, I hope (& believe) it’s a two way street. ⁣

Whatever God or energy you believe in, believe in the ones who you see your soul. They will be your greatest lessons, biggest loves and corrective hand to hold when the darkness comes. ⁣

Love you all, look towards the light tonight 💕

My bright baby blondes come in successive waves ⁣

✨To keep things light & bright, but also strong & healthy, I prep & finish my formulations with before reaching for the bleach. ⁣

Lara is in a wedding party in about a month, so she went her home with Light Blonde powder (spray version for wide, fast coverage) to keep any dark roots at bay on dress up day 💃 ⁣

⏭ Swipe to see me use StyleEdit’s powder to fake a money piece refresh on a brunette before a photoshoot. A great thing about this coverage line is they are flexible in use; you can use them to cover roots OR to refresh an old highlight before you head out into the world. One little line, but many different problems solvers! ⁣

Don’t forget there’s more that just art to hair color - protect your stands, find a colorist who can lead into both the art & the science of hair color & structure 🧬 ⁣

You can’t enjoy being a blonde (or any healthy, soft, vibrant, ‘let me touch it’ color) if there’s no shine to fawn over. A solid routine isn’t an option; it’s a necessity to for hair that catches the eye and sparkles ⁣

Blondes aren’t just for summer ☀️⁣

⁣As the seasons change I hear a lot of general internet babble about “going dark”, mostly I think, bc people want change and only look at change as a 180 degree shift. But that’s not the case, and often if you’re truly a year round blonde (or find yourself going back to blonde in your mind frequently) going fully dark isn’t the answer. There’s a *lot* of maintenance when it comes to reintroducing artificial pigment to the hair shaft, especially when the change ratio is so drastic. ⁣

Browns will dull quickly on very processed hair, but adding depth through paneling or tone shifting is a great way to get the “change” fix needed, while not putting you back in the chair 4 weeks later for another round of dark color, as the intense depth inevitably hollows & mutes out. And when that happens, you often sense your mind unhappy and looking for the pop of light the blonde gave you. Sometimes, going fully dark is the answer - but often it’s not. ⁣

How do you know? The power of a good color consultation: communication, honesty & education. Is your stylist hearing you? Are you heading them? Are we understanding each other? More education, more clarity, less “meh” vibes later.⁣

You can stay a blonde, and just remix it ✨ Healthier hair & less maintenance = happy life ⁣

Why do I love Solu? ⁣
Well, let’s chat about that. ⁣

First, this scrubbing shampoo with sea salt is a thick paste that not only cleanses, but does double duty. How so? While cleansing, it also adds volume throughout & lift at the root, without drying out your hair. ⁣

It refreshes the scalp and removes impurities, product residues and polluting particles. It gives texture to the hair and keeps it clean and light for longer. ⁣
