Where they at?

We’re really bad at IG but is really good at hair. She’s also ridiculously photogenic.. but like irl too. We’re stoked to work with her!!

Please excuse the mess. We’re making some changes to provide a less noisy, more beautiful and functional space 🫠

We can’t wait to show y’all the finished space! Here’s a ✨vibes✨
sneak peak

Honoring Juneteenth and the progress it represents ♥️
We’ll celebrate when everyone person of color is truly free in America. Until then keep fighting, keep challenging the systems, keep listening to and elevating the voices of people whose lived experiences are telling us that a celebration of freedom is premature. Listen. Elevate. Take action. Donate.

Bailey joined our bevy right before a pandemic sent our industry sideways. She powered through the storm with determination and never took her eye off the whole ass prize; her fiancé, pup, family and her career. We’re stoked for y’all to meet this talent! (swipe for hours & info)

We can get through this together! We’re rooting for all of YOU! 💪🤑🙌💕 ps, certain industries including restaurants qualify for 3.5 months of expenses! And minority and women owned business are being prioritized this time around. AND, you can apply for a Second Draw if you already received a pppl last year. Get another one and let’s all THRIVE!! Share the love and the richness!

Dreaming of the day we can all cram into a van and cruise through the jungle looking for hidden lagoons and stuff. Charles is curled up way in the back 😂 🇲🇽 #2019

• Since it isn’t possible for our team to stay distanced from our guests, our entry protocols, especially masks, are our greatest defense. (Since reopening in June we have not had a single case of Covid 19 contracted or spread within our walls.)

• According to most epidemiologists, the general population is not properly educated on how to wear and handle masks.

So many people are still misinformed about why we wear masks and believe that mask is to protect themselves. Masks provide little protection for the wearer and are worn to keep others safe.

• A mask that does not fit properly or has not been handled properly greatly loses it’s ability to protect you and the people around you.

• We have every size and shape of mask available and explain to our guests how to properly handle it during their visit (and hopefully always afterwards too if they weren’t already)

• Our masks are kept separate from all other laundry, laundered carefully and thoroughly and placed in a disinfected container with a fresh pair of gloves EVERY time.

• Because of all the additional waste the pandemic requires (gloves, take-out, delivery, more disposables, etc) we do not use disposable masks (except in very rare cases). Not only does this help a little with the environment but those little blue disposable masks are not surgical masks and do not provide adequate protection for our staff and guests.

• Most of our guests these days show up already wearing a great mask that fits properly. However, our stylists usually have to handle your mask at some capacity (moving ear straps out of the way, etc) and most people touch their masks frequently and
have them dangling off their ear when not in use. That’s fine in your personal life but in our shop with such close contact, we eliminate every possible risk in order to stay open and serve our community safely with integrity.

In an ideal world we would not be open in a pandemic, especially right now while the numbers keep getting worse and worse. Unfortunately closing would be detrimental to our team and to many of our customers.

We value human life over profit and we will not adjust our protocols for any reason.. Continued in comments⬇

But Dolly, it doesn’t cost a lot of money to look this cheap.

And Michelle, when they go low, we fold in the cheese.

Our boutique is exclusively for our clients. It is not open to the general public during the pandemic. This means you get it all to yourself and can browse without anyone parking their shopping cart in the middle of the isle or coughing too close for comfort. WE GOT YOU ♥️ If you don’t have an appointment before the holidays you can give us a call or shoot us a text to set up a time to shop. 512-326-1010

We have so many amazing gifts in our shop! These candles, new pieces, pins and earrings, AMAZING handmade throw blankets that are big enough, soft and look RICH AF even though you can afford several.

Meshelle here. Just had to share this text I got from a friend today. He is Japanese and has awesome, course and wavy hair. But he said it use to be a bit hard to manage. He asked if it was possible for shampoo/conditioner to actually change his hair. The answer is a HARD YES! And look at him now, a year later, HOOKED!

will melt you in all the best ways ✨✨✨
