The best color is the kind that looks effortless and natural — rich, dimensional, and soft enough to grow in nicely between appointments. Whether you want a subtle refresh, dimensional highlights, or a full shift, I focus on low-maintenance, naturally blended color that works with your lifestyle — not against it.
To understand your hair history, natural undertones, lifestyle, and what will work for you long-term.
Hand-painted highlights, seamless balayage, and subtle lowlights for effortless wear. We’ll find just the right custom approach for you.
Fine-tuned to your undertones to subtly deepen and enrich your natural color, rather than masking it.
Top-shelf color, custom formulated for you with a focus on longevity and how it will look as it fades out.
Choose this to cover grays or go a bit darker. This session focuses on refreshing your base color while keeping the look seamless and natural. Ideal for maintaining consistency and softness at the root without overprocessing.
Choose this if you want gentle highlights, lowlights, or tonal contrast. The kind of color that moves with the light and grows out beautifully.
Choose this to lighten up, create more all-over brightness, or move from dark to light with balance and intention. Still low-maintenance at heart, just with more noticeable impact.
Book this between sessions or for a refresh when you want to add shine and subtly adjust tone.
We start with a thoughtful consultation. I take my time here, more than most salons, because I want to fully understand what you're envisioning, how you want to feel, and what kind of maintenance actually fits your life.
We'll talk through options together, including budget, lifestyle, and how your hair naturally grows out. I take a soft, natural approach to color - the kind that still looks beautiful weeks or months later, without harsh lines or surprises. My goal is to make sure you feel informed, empowered, and excited... not overwhelmed.
Healthy hair always wears color better. It shines more, styles easier, and doesn’t need a ton of product or effort to look good. That’s why hair integrity is non-negotiable for me. I prioritize techniques and tones that keep your hair strong and natural-looking over time.
I usually stay close to your natural tone or build in softness that grows out seamlessly, so you’re not rushing back to the salon every few weeks. The aim is color that fits your life, looks beautiful in every phase, and never feels like high-maintenance work.
I specialize in lived-in color — when you look at the color it is super blended and you can’t tell where it stops and starts. I try to mimic the hair that you had as a child, that sunkissed range of hues that make your skin and hair sparkle.
Glossing and toning is a great thing to do in between sessions to extend the life of the color even more.
It also helps to smooth rougher textures of hair to make it a little less unruly and provides shine. I can formulate it to be clear, a tone to help with warmth or coolness, or to even go darker – but one thing to consider is it can’t make your hair lighter.
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to embracing your grays. I’m here to help you figure out what feels best for you.
Some clients choose to stop coloring altogether and gradually grow it out — either with small trims or a fresh big chop. Others prefer a softer transition using glosses to tone unwanted shades and add shine, or lowlights and highlights to blend the line between natural and colored hair.
It really depends on your vision, your lifestyle, and what kind of maintenance feels right for you. Some clients go all-in on their natural gray and just come in once or twice a year for a little tonal shift or shine boost. There’s plenty of flexibility. We’ll create a plan that works for you.
I care deeply about the health of your hair, and I also care about results that last and grow out beautifully. I choose top-shelf professional color lines that are high-performance and thoughtfully formulated, because they give predictable, lasting results without compromising the integrity of your hair.
I genuinely hate to say this, because I don’t want it to be true… but many of the so-called "non-toxic" or "natural" color lines don’t hold up. They fade quickly, can create banding, and often require more frequent touch-ups (which ends up means more processing overall, so…). My goal is to give you color that’s low maintenance and high quality, so you can spend less time in the salon and more time feeling great in your hair.
I'll walk you through it - just send me a note.
