Welcome To Your Journey. Let’s Make it Beautiful!
I’m so excited that you’ve found your way to my corner of the internet. In my chair, you’ll experience a curated approach to beauty—one that combines my expertise in makeup and hair. Whether you’re looking to revitalize your curls, learn how to care for your natural hair, or enhance your look with makeup for a special occasion, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
First things first, I want you to know that this journey is yours—it’s personal, it’s unique, and it’s filled with potential. As your stylist, I thrive on building positive, trusting partnerships with my clients, and I truly believe that the salon should always be a safe space for you. It’s a place of connection, growth, and fellowship—a place where you can relax (enjoy complimentary snacks), ask questions, and leave feeling even more confident than before.

The Journey to Healthy Curls
Your hair care journey is just that—a journey. It’s not about instant results, but about steady progress. This is an evolving process that may take a bit of time (sometimes even years) to reach your ultimate hair goals. Patience, a positive mindset, and consistent care will be key to your success.
Together, we’ll focus on the long-term health of your natural hair. While tools, techniques, and products are important, the foundation is your commitment to self-care. Here’s what I recommend:
For mid-to-long length hair, commit to washing + styling your hair weekly with a hydrating shampoo, conditioner with good slip, and stylers that support the look you are trying to achieve.
If your curls are shorter, aim for shampooing at least once a week in addition to a mid-week refresh with conditioner and a styler.
For really juicy curls, you may need to invest in new products, tools, and most definitely a quality hard hooded dryer or diffuser for optimal results.
Pre- Appointment Prep
To set the stage for a successful appointment, about a week before your appointment, I recommend using a gentle cleansing shampoo (we will deep cleanse at your appointment), followed by a conditioner with good slip for detangling, while working in smallish sections from the ends up to the scalp. If you’re in need of a quick styler, I suggest using The Doux Bee Girl Honey Setting Foam.
During the booking process, you’ll be asked to complete an appointment intake form, where you’ll share details about your hair challenges, current products and tools, and personal hair goals. We’ll dive deeper into these during your first visit to ensure a customized experience tailored to your needs.
To ensure your appointment runs smoothly and efficiently, please arrive at the salon with hair that has been detangled within the last few days. You should arrive with no more than 2 braids or twists.
Why? Hair that is overly tangled can significantly extend your appointment time. Normal detangling is included. If your hair is excessively tangled, you may incur a $65 detangling fee.
During Your Appointment
When you arrive at the salon, know that the floor is open for you to ask any questions. You are welcome to take a handheld mirror and watch the entire styling process, learning firsthand about the techniques and products that will transform your curls.
If you choose a curly cut, it will be done on dry curls after they are set, ensuring the cut complements the way your curls naturally fall. If you're torn between a curly cut or a blown-out cut, consider how you typically wear your hair and your commitment to a wash hour routine. While a blown-out cut can create a polished look, in some cases, a curly cut offers better shaping and enhances your curls' natural shape, providing a more tailored result.
You’ll walk away from the appointment with a personalized product summary and online resources to help you maintain and care for your curls at home. It’s all about keeping your curls in top shape, even between salon visits!
After Your Appointment: Maintenance & Support
Once your appointment is complete, the journey doesn't stop there! I recommend shape maintenance for mid-to-long lengths about every 3 months. For short tapers, every 6-8 weeks. I’m always available to offer feedback through photos or videos via text, providing critiques on technique and personalized advice. In addition to your regular visits for cuts, I encourage you to check in and book a styling service at least once between appointments to address any concerns, tackle challenges, get treatments, and refresh color to keep your look naturally polished.
