Your hair problems might not be hair problems at all ✨

They’re scalp problems—hidden under buildup, inflammation, and neglect.

This isn’t just a “scalp facial.”
It’s a deep-dive into the root cause of your hair concerns.

We start by looking beneath the surface—with a scalp camera. We analyze what’s really going on: excess oil, dry patches, clogged follicles, product residue.
Then, we treat it with intention.
• Physical exfoliation to remove buildup blocking healthy growth
• Custom serums chosen based on your actual scalp needs
• Detox mask + ozone steam to oxygenate follicles and rebalance your scalp’s microbiome
• Extended massage to stimulate circulation and reduce scalp tension
• Deep conditioning because a healthy scalp deserves healthy strands

All while you’re fully laid back, steamed, soothed, and relaxed.

We finish by re-analyzing your scalp so you can see the change.

If you’ve tried everything for dry hair, oily roots, breakage, or hair thinning—
this is where you start.

Madison WI, you’re overdue for this kind of care🌿

Set up your scalp facial today, your scalp with love you 🫶🏻

Everyone’s talking about scalp facials right now — and for good reason 🌱

It’s not just a trend, it’s the missing piece in your hair care routine.

If you’ve been dealing with buildup, flakiness, dryness, or even hair that just doesn’t feel as full and healthy as it used to — your scalp is most likely the root of it (literally). Healthy hair starts at the scalp, and if that foundation isn’t being taken care of, your hair won’t reach its full potential no matter how many products you use.

Here’s what’s included:

— Scalp analysis with our Scalp Scope (200x magnification + UV light) to see exactly what your scalp needs
— Serum + Exfoliation to gently remove buildup, dry skin, and anything blocking your follicles
— Ozone steam treatment to deeply hydrate and open the pores for max absorption
— Extended head massage to increase blood flow and reduce tension
— Blowout or diffused style to leave you looking fresh

This isn’t just a one-time feel-good moment (though it definitely is that too) — it’s a long-term investment in your scalp health and hair growth.

Think: clearer scalp, less irritation, better product absorption, and stronger, healthier strands down the line 💦

Perfect for anyone dealing with dry scalp issues, oily scalp issues, prepping for a special occasion, or just needing a full reset.

here’s the hard truth about color corrections: you can’t always control the outcome 100% & here’s why…

hair history, porosity, underlying pigments, and even how someone’s hair naturally lifts all play a role in what’s possible in one session.

in this case, my client felt brassy and flat—like she had no dimension. and while toning can help neutralize warmth, it’s not always the long-term fix. brassiness isn’t just about toner fading; it’s often about the starting canvas.

when hair has years of built-up color (even if it looks faded), it holds onto warmth in unpredictable ways.

some sections might grab cooler, some might stay warm, and some might not budge at all. that’s why color corrections require a plan—not just a one-and-done approach. it can take multiple steps & multiple hours to achieve certain looks.

for this transformation, i:
✨ evened out the old color inconsistencies
✨ added strategic highlights & lowlights for depth
✨ toned with a custom mix to counteract unwanted warmth while keeping a natural, soft grow-out

but let’s be real—color corrections are a journey. they require trust, realistic expectations, and maintenance to keep that fresh-toned look. if your hair is feeling dull, brassy, or uneven, the fix might not be as simple as a toner refresh. sometimes, we need to go deeper.

🎲 hair roulette: the reveal 🎲

going from copper to light pink isn’t as simple as just throwing color on top—lifting through previous color can be tricky (and damaging if not done carefully). since warmth tends to stick around, we had to strategically lift while keeping the hair’s integrity in check.

patience, precision, and the right formulas to cancel out leftover pigment and create the perfect canvas for that soft pink.

Let’s talk about the journey from a full scalp bleach to a more natural, low-maintenance blonde. It’s not just a color change—it’s a transformation that requires patience, expertise, and a solid plan. 💇‍♀️💡

Why the transition takes skill:

• Root Growth: The more natural root we have, the better the blend. Growing out your roots gives us a canvas to seamlessly merge your natural color with the blonde, creating that sought-after lived-in effect. 🌱➡️🎨

• Porosity Matters: Previously bleached hair absorbs color differently. We need to address varying porosity levels to ensure even tone and prevent patchiness. 🧖‍♀️

• Filling the Gaps: Going darker involves “filling” the hair to reintroduce underlying pigments that were stripped away during bleaching. Skipping this step can lead to muddy or uneven results. 🎨🖌️

What to expect:

This transformation isn’t a one-and-done deal. Depending on your hair’s condition and history, it may take multiple sessions to achieve the perfect lived-in blonde while maintaining hair health. ⏳💆‍♀️

Thinking of making the switch?

Let’s craft a personalized plan that aligns with your hair goals and lifestyle. Remember, the best color transformations are those done with care and expertise. 💬📆

reds are known for being high maintenance—but what if i told you there’s a way to keep that vibrant, rich color without constant root touch-ups?

this look is all about dimensional reds—instead of an all-over color that requires frequent upkeep, we opted for strategic highlights and a rich glaze.

here’s why this method is more low-maintenance:

✨ no harsh grow-out – since we’re working with your natural base, there’s no solid root line that needs a touch-up every 4-6 weeks. highlights can be refreshed occasionally, but there’s no rush!

✨ glazes = easy refreshes – red fades fast, but a simple glaze every 6-8 weeks keeps the vibrancy strong without committing to a full color service.

✨ fading can be beautiful – some reds fade into soft coppers or rich brunettes, giving you a natural, lived-in look. but the key to loving your fade is knowing how your hair wants to fade and working with it instead of against it.

to keep your red looking fresh:
🔴 use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo
🧡 wash in cool water to prevent stripping
🖤 protect from heat & UV rays

reds don’t have to be a constant battle—choosing the right placement & maintenance plan makes all the difference. would you ever try a dimensional red?

so why does vivid hair cost so much?!

it’s not just color—it’s a custom, multi-step process that takes skill, time, and professional products to get right. from safely lightening your hair to custom-mixing your perfect colors, every step is designed to give you long-lasting, vibrant results without damage.

could you try a cheaper option? sure. but cheap vivid color fades fast, stains unevenly, and can wreck your hair if not used properly.

this isn’t just color. this is wearable art 🎨

hot take: i don’t use permanent color on clients that want to go darker unless they have gray hair. let’s talk about why.

a lot of people think “permanent” color = longer-lasting, but that’s not exactly how it works.

permanent color doesn’t mean it won’t fade—it just means it permanently alters your natural hair. demi/semi-permanent color will fade just as gracefully (if not better), without the long-term commitment.

so what’s the problem with permanent color?
✨ it never fully leaves your hair. unless you grow it out or cut it off, it’s there. so if you ever want to go lighter (which let’s be real, 80% of people do at some point), you’re looking at a long, damaging process.
✨ it creates harsh grow-out lines. with demi/semi, your color fades softer and more naturally—no harsh line of demarcation.
✨ it limits your options. want to go blonde one day? change up your tone? that’s a LOT harder when there’s permanent dye in your hair.

permanent color is necessary for gray coverage. but if you don’t have grays, there’s almost no reason to use it. you can get the same rich, dark, long-lasting results with demi-permanent—without the long-term regret.

✨ why your curls need strategic layering ✨

one of the biggest mistakes in cutting wavy + curly hair? removing length without considering shape and weight distribution.

in the before photo, the curls were weighed down in some areas and lacked definition—this happens when the hair grows out without a shape that supports the natural movement. when waves/curls don’t have the right balance, they can look limp, uneven, or frizzy instead of bouncy and defined.

here’s how we fixed it ⬇️

✔️ custom layering – strategically placed to enhance curl movement without creating bulk or stringy ends
✔️ hydration + styling techniques – defining each curl for an effortless, lived-in finish
✔️ soft face-framing – adding shape to complement natural texture
✔️ dry haircutting- this allows me to see the hair in it’s natural texture & fall

the result? weightless, defined curls that move freely and naturally.

if your curls have been feeling heavy, shapeless, or just off, it might be time for a cut that works with your texture, not against it.

let’s talk about something most people don’t realize about blonding: lightness vs. brightness ✨✨

just because your hair is lighter doesn’t always mean it’ll look brighter—and that’s where tone comes in.

✨ a blonde that’s too ashy can look flat + dull + washed out
✨ a blonde that’s too warm can feel too bright or even brassy
✨ the right tone makes your color look healthy, shiny, & dimensional

that’s why your glaze (aka toner) isn’t just an “extra step”—it’s what keeps your blonde looking fresh, glowy, and ✨ expensive ✨ instead of faded or brassy.

but here’s the thing: glosses aren’t permanent! they’re meant to fade gradually, which is why regular maintenance is key.

using color-safe products at home will help extend your tone, but it won’t make it last forever. think of your gloss like skincare—it needs touch-ups to keep your blonde looking its best! ☁️🤍

not all hair is created equal, and that’s especially true when it comes to hair porosity! 💦 if you’ve been struggling with hydration or frizz, understanding your porosity can totally change the game. let’s break it down…

high porosity hair is like a sponge – it absorbs moisture fast but can’t hold on to it for long. this means it’s prone to dryness and damage, but also absorbs treatments and products quickly. the trick? layering products that lock in moisture and creating a moisture-rich routine with protein and deep conditioning treatments to help repair the cuticle. 🌿✨

on the other hand, low porosity hair has a cuticle that’s tightly closed – moisture can’t get in easily, but it also doesn’t escape as fast. this can leave your hair looking shiny but feeling dry and prone to buildup. the solution? use lightweight, water-based products, and add a little heat (think: steam or a heated cap) when deep conditioning to help open up those cuticles! 🔥

pro tip: if you’re unsure of your porosity, try the water test! drop a strand of clean hair into water – if it sinks quickly, you’ve got high porosity. if it floats, your hair’s on the low side.

understanding porosity helps you maximize your product game and find the perfect routine to get your healthiest hair ever. ✨ need help customizing your routine? I’m here for it! 💖

pro tip: if you’re unsure of your porosity, try the water test! drop a strand of clean hair into water – if it sinks quickly, you’ve got high porosity. if it floats, your hair’s on the low side.

understanding porosity helps you maximize your product game and find the perfect routine to get your healthiest hair ever. ✨ need help customizing your routine? I’m here for it! 💖

low-maintenance coppers? yes, they exist.

reds and coppers have a reputation for being high-maintenance because they fade faster than other tones, but not all reds are created equal. the key is in the technique, the tone, and the look you’re trying to achieve.

this lived-in, soft copper balayage is meant to fade gracefully into a golden honey blonde, meaning no harsh grow-out lines or frequent touch-ups. by keeping the base close to her natural and focusing warmth through the mid-lengths and ends, we created a dimensional tone that will soften over time instead of turning brassy.

so what makes a red or copper high-maintenance? it depends on:
🧡 depth & vibrancy – the brighter and richer the red, the more upkeep. deep coppers and bold reds need more frequent toning to stay true to tone.
❤️‍🔥 placement – all-over reds or global applications require more root maintenance, while balayage or lived-in placement allows for a softer grow-out.
🍁 underlying pigments – hair naturally has warm undertones. a rich copper enhances this, making it blend well over time. cooler or brighter reds may need more maintenance to fight unwanted warmth or fading.
🔥 hair porosity – the more porous the hair, the faster red molecules fade. keeping hair healthy with bond-building treatments and proper at-home care is essential.

if you’ve always wanted to try copper but feared the upkeep, this is your sign that it doesn’t have to be a commitment. soft, natural coppers like this can fade seamlessly and still look beautiful between appointments.

your curls deserve more than just ‘good enough’—they deserve to thrive.

so many clients come in feeling frustrated, stuck in a cycle of trial and error, spending money on products that don’t work, and battling frizz, dryness, or limp curls that just won’t cooperate. but here’s the truth—most of the time, the problem isn’t your curls.

it’s what they’ve been through. years of dehydration, buildup, the wrong techniques, and misinformation can leave your hair struggling to show its true potential.

here’s the fix: curls need moisture, not just product. if your hair feels rough or frizzy no matter what you put in it, chances are it’s dehydrated—not just dry.

hydration starts with water, and applying your products to soaking wet hair helps lock it in. but that’s just the start—understanding your curl pattern, porosity, and routine is what makes the difference.

so if you feel like your curls are working against you, they’re not. they just need the right care, and i’m here to help you get there. your dream curls are possible—let’s bring them back to life.

so you wanna go blonde again… let’s talk about what it actually takes ✨

going from dark back to blonde—whether you’re going for sandy and natural or bright and platinum—it is a process that takes more than just throwing lightener on your hair.

here’s what you need to know before starting your transformation:
• your dark color isn’t just “one color”: whether it’s natural or previously colored, dark hair has layers of pigment that need to be lifted evenly. rushing this process can lead to banding (uneven color), patchiness, or serious damage.

• lifting takes time & multiple sessions: hair doesn’t just go from dark to blonde in one step. it lifts through red, orange, and yellow first, and depending on your goal, we may need multiple sessions to get you there while keeping your hair healthy.

• your ideal blonde might not be possible in one go: if your hair has been dyed darker multiple times, those layers of color take extra work to break through. this means your first session might land you at a warm honey blonde before we can get to your dream shade.

• it’s not just about lightening—it’s about maintaining the integrity: pushing your hair too hard can lead to breakage, dryness, and a compromised curl pattern. i use bond builders, gentle techniques, and strategic foiling to keep your hair strong while we lift, but there is no way to predict how it will react.

• blonde requires commitment: root touch-ups, toning, deep conditioning—if you want your blonde to stay bright and healthy, your maintenance routine is just as important as the initial transformation. if you’re not ready for that commitment, we can always customize a lower-maintenance version!

this transformation brought back brightness, dimension, and softness while keeping the hair healthy—because blonde should never mean brittle.

let’s talk about some of the biggest hair myths i hear in my chair… and why they need to go ✂️

❌ myth: washing your hair more frequently makes color fade faster
✅ truth: it’s not the washing—it’s how you wash! hot water + harsh shampoos = a fast track to dull hair. stick to cool water + color-safe products to keep that vibrancy alive.

❌ myth: box dye and professional color are basically the same
✅ truth: box dye is made with large dye molecules that sit on top of the hair, creating a flat, opaque color. salon color uses a mix of different molecule sizes that penetrate deeper, giving you a more longer-lasting result. plus, box dye is one formula for all—which means it doesn’t consider your hair’s porosity, undertones, or health like a custom salon formula does.

❌ myth: you can go from dark to platinum in one session
✅ truth: lifting hair safely is a process. here’s why:
• dark hair has multiple layers of underlying pigment (red, orange, yellow). to get to platinum, we have to lift through all those stages gradually.
• lightening too quickly can blow out the hair’s cuticle, leading to breakage, uneven color, and major dryness.
• multiple sessions allow us to maintain the hair’s integrity, ensuring it stays strong, healthy, and actually looks good when we get to your goal shade.

thinking about going dark for winter, then light again for summer? here’s what you need to know!

when you go darker, the artificial pigment sits on top of your lighter hair. so when you decide to go light again, your hair has to lift through those layers of color—not just your natural hair. this can lead to breakage if not done carefully!

if you love switching shades with the seasons, here’s how to keep your hair healthy:
✨ use bond builders & deep conditioning treatments
✨ give your hair time to rest between big changes
✨ work with your stylist to create a plan that keeps your hair strong
✨consistent hair trims
✨less heat styling

your curls deserve more than a quick fix—let’s talk real hydration✨

curly hair needs moisture, balance, and ingredients that actually work with its natural texture, that’s where innersense comes in….

their formulas are packed with aloe, shea butter, and coconut oil—giving curls real hydration without the buildup.

BUT here’s the difference: unlike most curly haircare brands that claim to have these ingredients, innersense sources theirs ethically and keeps them in their purest, most beneficial form. no silicones. no fillers. just real nourishment that actually supports long-term curl health.

if your curls feel dry & frizzy or even greasy & weighed down… it might be time to detox from heavy silicones and switch to clean hydration. once your hair adjusts, you’ll feel all the difference.

toning isn’t just for blondes—brunettes, this one’s for you! 🌟

if you love the rich, dimensional vibes of a dark brunette balayage, regular maintenance is key to keeping it fresh. over time, natural elements like the sun, hard water, and even heat styling can fade your color or bring out unwanted warmth. this is where glazes come in to save the day.

a glaze (or toner) works by refreshing the tone of your balayage, enhancing the depth, richness, and shine while neutralizing any unwanted brassiness. it’s like a topcoat for your hair color—locking in that polished look we all love. bonus? it seals your hair’s cuticle, which adds softness and shine, making your hair feel as good as it looks.

for dark brunette balayage, i recommend coming in every 6-8 weeks for a quick glaze in between your balayage sessions. it’s a simple step that can make a huge difference in how your hair holds up over time, & helps push out your next lightening session.

healthy, dimensional color isn’t just about the initial service—it’s about the care you put into it afterward. prioritize the upkeep, and your balayage will thank you!

ever wonder why your icy blonde sometimes looks silver, blue, or even a little violet in different lighting? ✨ let’s talk toners!

toners are the secret sauce that give your blonde that perfect tone—whether it’s icy, creamy, or golden. but here’s the thing: they don’t last forever.

heat styling, over-washing, and even the minerals in your water can fade that cool tone faster than you think. to keep your icy blonde looking fresh:
• wash less (and with a sulfate-free shampoo!)
• stick to lukewarm water (hot water = toner’s worst enemy)
• protect your hair from UV rays
• always use heat protectant

oh, and don’t forget: toners can reflect light differently, which is why your blonde can look cool in one room and warmer in another. lighting is everything! 💡

did you know cutting curly hair when it’s dry is a total game-changer? 👀

here’s why: curls don’t lie. ✂️ cutting curly hair dry allows me to see your natural texture, shape, and how each curl lives in its own space. wet haircuts, designed for straight or wavy hair, can stretch out curls and lead to uneven results once dry.

every curl is unique, and dry cutting ensures your hair gets the love and balance it deserves, so you can embrace your natural texture🫶🏻

have you ever had a dry curly cut? if not, try it out and fall in love with the results ✨
