Barn weddings are stunning.

 I have been slammed with special occasion hair for weddings!! So MUCH fun!!!!!!! Here are some favs for you….. my bride, Mandy!

and the mother of the bride!

Some bridesmaids for a wedding!

I wish I had taken a before of this sassy bob! I love the cut with the loose curls to add body!

My girl, Katherine, rocking some brighter locks for summer!!!!!!

 Mr. Jack in his high/tight! LOVE! I had to convince to him to go shorter than he ever has on his sides…he was happy with the results! I forgot to grab a before ;(

So much of my men's cuts are going more disconnected with the length….and I am a big fan of keeping the top longer and really short on the sides! Looks SHARP.

 Been enjoying carving out parts for a more clean cut look!

 Mallorie rockin' the strawberry blonde!

I colored and cut my friend, Shari, and was showing her how to curl it! She is a beauty!

Love taking hair to one dimensional to add lots of shine and depth!!!!

 My blondies….so fun for SUMMER!

 This was my client's first time coloring her naturally red hair. I added in subtle high/lows to add depth and break it up! I love it!!!!!!

 Thea has gorgeous hair too! She gave me the honor of highlighting her hair for the first time!!! I put in around 20 caramel foils and brought her length up to give her hair shape and a fun new look for her!

 Sometimes, couples make Tala a Date Night! Praise be. I loved nick/sarah's makeover!!! Cutiepies.

Sarah is a mama to 1 year old twin boys and wanted something easy. So we colored her base with a rich brown and added in two shades of light on the ends for Ombre!

 This is my buddy/neighbor Sarah too! She wanted to be BLONDE for summer! Holler! Over 3 hours later…she got it! :)

 pastel time…. love Christina's new hair!

Amanda rocking her purple/lavender hair! This shows you the different shades it fades too. I love both! Go Amanda Go.

Sophie and Lila (my bff's kids) came in for summer do's!

 Georgi and her precious bob for summer!!!!!! She is so cute!!!
