 Jesse is one of my dear friends that needed a mama-makeover. She has a newborn baby and 19 month old! She is busy, to say the least. I colored her hair scalp to ends with browns/caramels/blondes to brighter her look and inverted the cut to make it sophisticated! 

Kathy has amazing hair! I have been giving her bangs for a few months now and we are loving it! I colored in lowlights with the blonde highlights to add depth! 

 Jaymi wanted a ashy brown all over tint! I love it on her.

Lindsay has been rocking the double processed blonde for a month or so now! I freshened up her cut and roots, toning it with a violet hue at the color bowl! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Leah has fabulous hair! We wanted to go bold this time around. I probably foiled in 100+ foils of blonde and even ombred' tips in between the foils with blonde. I used a violet toner to break her base (roots) and freshen up her neutral (natural tone) She looks wonderful! 

 

Elizabeth was platinum this past spring and has been slowly adding in darker tones to give it shine and be a little less maintenance. 

 Amanda wanted a CHANGE! I colored her hair with a all over high-def red/violet. I colored her ends on the left side with bleach to brighten it up too. We ended it with doing a side shave and styling it with a bun hawk. Check out my insta for more pix ;) 

 I dreaded Louis' hair 3.5 years ago and he has been rockin the look. He came in for me to tighten them and clean them up. I love dreadlocks so much! They suite him so well! :) 

 Linda gave me the honor of chopping off her hair! I used the Deva Curl line in her hair showing this mama of 3 a quick and easy style! I love her bouncy curls! 

 Melissa was growing out her hair for a wedding and we scheduled a cut for right after the wedding She looks fabulous in a bob and cleaned up fringe. She is a babe! 

 Back to School cuts have been my life! Loving all the fresh cuts on these cute kids……….

 Ava/Grace/Isabel all came in for cuts. They are the cutest sisters! 

Autumn and Keely wanted matching bobs for school Autumn looks so darling in bangs too! I love this cut on any young lady! 

Andrea hadn't colored her hair in 4-5 months and it was time! I love her hair blonde! 

 Connie has let her hair be all natural for a few years now, which I adore. But, we decided to add depth to it again with some dark brown low-lights to give her some color! I cut her hair up a bit too, to bring out the curl. I love how it turned out!!!! 

 Danielle let me chop off her hair to a sexy asymmetrical bob. I razored it a lot to add lots of movement and texture. I used Deva Spray Gel and scrunched her hair with my hands as I dried it. I used a curling iron and Texturizing Sea Salt Spray to make it beachy and summery! I love this look sooooo much! 

  Mallorie was heading off to work after I colored her hair this beautiful strawberry blonde and let me throw her hair up for her! 3 buns with bobby pins…. easy and fun.

Have you been doing anything fun with your hair lately!?

In the summer months, I typically air dry my hair everytime I wash it and go with a quick 5 min. style. I love twisting it back to get it off my face and give it a little style! 

 

 Alex had gotten an all over tint months back and wanted something bright! I colored in lighter blonde tones and trimmed up her ends! She looks gorgeous!

Bri was ready for a drastic inverted bob! I love this look on her! We colored in 3 shades to add depth and dimension! 

Lindsay is a fellow hairstylist buddy of mine! She chopped her locks off back in May and was ready for a drastic color change. I colored it all over with a high lift bleach and toned it with a ash! I cut her hair with a undercut and "funked" it up a bit! She is a babe!

 Alison has amazing hair that is also stubborn! She was blonde for a good year and we have been migrating over to the red/brown family again. I colored her hair with caramel and auburn foils and painted in between with a rich brown copper! I LOVE IT! She wants to rock long Victoria Secret hair……..we are the road for that ;) 

I forgot to get a before of Lauren's dry hair. She just got her first teaching position and wanted a fresh look for Fall. I cut her hair up 3" + and it looks lovely! She had me ombre it in the Spring, and we wanted to still have enough length to rock the color a few more months!

Kim has amazing low maintenance hair! She comes in every 6 months and we wanted to bring up her foils a bit. I used two shades of blonde/caramel and painted it in at different heights! I cut her hair to be a long bob! She is smokin'!

 It is back-to-school season at Tala! Love Lucas and Jonas' cuts! CUTIE-PIES.

 Sarah has amazing hair! I freshened up her base with a rich dark brown and brightened up her ombre! She looks amazing! 

Jessica is getting married next week and wanted to do a rich all over brown! She has amazing shiny hair to work with! I love how full her hair looks now! She is going to be a stunning bride!

I had fun with this bridal party for many reasons! 

1. They are my buddies

2. They have amazing hair! 

3. I love braids and baby's breath! 

 (flower girl)

(Sister to Groom/Bridesmaid)

Here is the bride before I put baby's breath in! I barely curled her hair, I went with her natural wave/body. I used fishtail braids and regular braids in her style! She looked soooo beautiful! 

 Happy LLW!!!!!

 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!
