time for your solo
It's your time to shine! This is a fully customized beauty experience featuring you. Includes before and after photos,  private consultation, custom haircut and custom color services, including solid color, color gloss to make you shine, and highlights if needed to brighten your look. This service is completed with a styling lesson and makeup application with tips and tricks to maintain your radiant look at home. If your hair requires more than one visit, we will review the process during the consultation and plan your subsequent visits. ​ Optional add-ons include hair extensions, nail design, manicure, massage, and a curated shopping experience. Please reserve an entire day for this experience, as it is a day of beauty, and the beauty is you. Lunch is included. All we ask is that you bring one or two outfits for your reveal. ​ Book this 30 minute in person or virtual consultation to plan your experience.
