I am loving how high pony tails are trendy right now! I simply teased my hair and put in dry conditioner and hairspray to achieve this look! 

I got new mascara! I am loving it!!!!! 

Hus + Wife hair! I live in my gap hat and my hus is rocking his beard and groomed cut! Man, he has good hair! 

Some Tala before and afters! Loving the holiday hair season! Carmen wanted something fresh and assymetrical! I love how it turned out! Above it the before….

Amanda wanted some dimension. We did a heavy foil of a mocha brown and platinum blonde! I freshened up her ends to give it lift and bounce too! 

 

 This was my first time doing Sara's hair! She hadn't had a cut in 9 months, so it was time for something new! I love how her hair looks so healthy and full now! I curled her hair with a flat iron too! 

 

Mandy loves warm tones, but it had been 3 + months since we colored it! I gave her a full foil of a caramel and painted her hair with a rich red/auburn/gold! She has really curly hair; so I blew it out with a paddle brush and used my flat iron to smooth it out while putting in a wave! GORGEOUS. I put in dry conditioner to finish it off and add moisture! 

 Some men B+A! Mr. Luke was overdue for some groomin'! 

 Eric and his son! We went even higher this time for his sides! I love the contrast of the lengths! Very popular on men right now! 1950-army-Mad Men. I likey.

I forgot to get a before of Paula! But, had to show you her body and layers! I love her hair!!!!!! This is her natural hair color. Jealous.

Happy Lock Love Wednesday! 

Tala Hair Studio // Holiday Edition

I love having my little studio to decorate for the holidays! It is my little haven! It is such a blessing having my hair studio in my home! I still pinch myself everyday,that I am living out my dream! It would not be anything without my amazing guests! It has been such an honor sharing life with all of my clients! I love how being a hairstylist is such a beautiful and unique thing. I am a friend, a listener, a care provider, a day maker, and a creative consultant. I do not take my job lightly. It is my purpose and calling. I love the transformations that take place in the little space! 

With that being said, I love Christmas! Everyone knows that I love to decorate and create! I want everyone that walks through the door to be able to go on a "hair vacation" and escape the real world. Whether, I have Ray LaMontagne, Rita Springer, Dave Matthews or Coldplay on or the fireplace going with a coffee brewed, I want you to feel special. I love having the space decorated to celebrate Jesus' birthday! Here are some pix of the studio for this holiday season!

I strung hemp across the wall with some plastic snowflakes. Simple. Modern. The key is less is more in commerical spaces! I don't want it to look cluttered! Pick a few spots to highlight and run with it! I like how I can do something totally different in the studio compared to my home space!

I love my transom window in the studio. I have greens/lights and some modern wood trees from Target up there.

PTL for this Fireplace. Sooooooo happy with it. I didn't put anything on the fireplace for decor yet. Do you have any suggestions for me? Please share in a comment!

Who would have thought, how amazing pennies are for a statement piece?! 

My rockin' sister in law makes these burlap wreaths! This one retails at $38! Holler!

I made this paper garland last year! I love how it dresses up the mirror! 

Of course, I have treats! 

My glorious barn door with my snowflake.

Towel warmer for the brisk days. I am selling some cute little handmade goodies that my mom and friend makes too!

two words:  Dry Conditioner! a must for winter!

 I am still loving my farm sink in the bathroom! 

Have you started decorating for the holidays yet? I am getting sooo excited for the month of festivities! I am working extra hours to get all of you in! So don't forget to set up a reservation today! 

Happy Tuesday!

I ran into my sister at Trader Joes- we both were rocking the same hair. Out of control. Needless to say, we had a good laugh….

My girlfriend's daughter, Trinity! We chopped off her hair for winter! She was having a "meltdown" because she wanted to see my daughter :) Too cute.

 

Lydia loves being blonde! I did a heavy blonde weave for her to brighten up her roots!

 A fresh ombre….. I darkened up Alisha's hair and free hand lightened her tips!

 

 Jeremy wanted to get a easier style for the winter months, while maintaining the pony option. He is looking groomed again ;)

 

Ashley looks awesome in golds. I colored her regrowth with a rich golden brown and did a creative foil technique, putting in caramel tones to add dimension. I cleaned up her cut too! She rocks this cut!

 I love how much of a difference a good cut makes. I went through and gave my client a blunt/choppy cut! She is looking sooooo stylish! :)

 

Melanie wanted something totally different for winter. I added in lots of dimension by giving the base a rich brown while lightening strands with two different lighter tones! It looks so pretty on her.

 

Yah for Thea! This cut is perfect for fine hair. It makes your hair fresh and full!

Katie hasn't been brunette in a couple years, so it was really fun to give her a all over tint! She looks stunning.
