Hello!

Wondering what to wear to your hair appointment? Choose comfortable clothes that won’t interfere with your stylist’s work. Opt for a loose-fitting top, avoid heavy jewelry, and consider wearing a button-up or something easy to take off. Ensure your outfit keeps you relaxed and stylish during your visit!
Below are a few clothing options I recommend to ensure you get the best possible result from your service. I want to make sure your haircut is symmetrical, your color looks amazing, and your clothing stays safe from any potential mess.
As you read the info below, you might be thinking, “Wow, she’s repeating herself a lot!” But believe it or not, in my 16 years of doing hair, this is something I find myself saying almost every day! So, whether you're a seasoned salon-goer or it’s your first time, here’s a little reminder (or heads-up) on what can make your experience smoother and stress-free.

T-shirt
A classic T-shirt is always my top recommendation for your hair service. It doesn’t matter if it's a V-neck, crew neck, boat neck, or U-shape—whatever you feel comfy in! A simple T-shirt works great because there's no collar to get in the way of your new hairstyle, and it won’t be at risk of getting damaged by color.

Crew Neck Sweatshirt/Jumper
If it’s chilly and you want to stay cozy during your appointment, a crew neck sweatshirt or jumper is a perfect choice! Again, no collar to interfere with your service.

Zip-up Hoodie (with an undershirt)
You might be surprised by how many people forget to wear an undershirt with their hoodie or zip-up, but please, do me a favor and throw one on! It helps me make sure I can get your haircut as precise as possible.

Looking forward to seeing you at your appointment!

On my Instagram post I shared a couple items on how to have long lasting color:

I wanted to break it down on this blog.

The five items to achieve long lasting colors are; An amazing stylist, products recommended by your stylist, regular weekly or biweekly hair masks or treatments, lower heat settings on your styling tools, cooler water temps when washing your hair.

I honestly could ramble on about each one intensely but to save your screen time I’ll keep it to the bullet points.

An amazing stylist - this one was to be funny. Find a stylist that makes you confident and comfortable.
Products…. Teehee. I know someone has been jaded by a stylist with product. They bought product once, it didnt work for them and then were stuck with this $30 thing that will get shoved in the back of the linen closet. I have been there too! But if your stylist is passionate about items they sell you have to trust their word and try it out for yourself! Your never going to know until you try. I always guarantee my products, if you dont like an item i promise you we can find something that will be your pace that will continue to protect your hair. I LOVE leave-in conditioners like KEVIN.MURPHY’S STAYING.ALIVE & LEAE-IN.REPAIR and thermal protectors like Olaplex No6, Olaplex No7 or EVER.SMOOTH. Easy lazy hair products that can save and protect your hair and color.
Your strands are made up of cuticles. Lets pretend the cuticles look like an upside down flower. When the cuticles expand too much (like a bloomed flower) the color molecules escape and hence why many people say their toner fades or their color doesnt look vibrant anymore. Because with washing/friction and heat exposure the cuticles open up allowing color to escape.
Treatments, this will really help your color out because it'll continue to keep your hair cuticles smooth. When treating your hair I love two specific treatments, RE.STORE and Olaplex No3 they both are repairatives treatments that will help restore your hair health. Smoothing out the cuticles and giving your hair a lot of shine, luster so the color will stay vibrant.
Lets head straight into your heat settings on your hot tools. Fine hair should never have heat over 325 applied to your hair. Coarse thick hair can handle up to 425. Never let an iron heat up for more than a few mins, an extremely hot iron can cause damage to the hair and can instantly remove color. Cool the temperatures down a little bit and that will save your hair.
Along with #3 heat will open up your cuticle. This is great for treatments but wash days with cooler water temps will continue to keep the cuticles closed allowing no color escape and maintaining color vibrancy. I let clients know that if they want satanic water temperatures to burn their skin during a bath or shower at least clip up your hair so the water doesnt run on your hair causing any damage.

I hope these tips help you with your hair journey!
