Ember Renee Salon

//TWO things I’m known for//

📚 EDUCATION

During your appointment, I go through your hair concerns with a fine tooth comb. [Pun intended 🤓]

You may be holding your blow dryer or curling iron the wrong way, using the wrong products for your hair type, or simply washing or conditioning your hair incorrectly. Whatever concerns you have with your hair, I’m your girl to solve the problem!

🌏DOWN TO EARTH

I’m not your typical stylist. I don’t need to be talking 100% of your appointment and I definitely don’t expect that of you either. Good shows, restaurants, travel recommendations, or talking about your kids…or silence. I like them all equally and have a healthy respect for your personal needs.

If asking for silence feels weird, bring a book with you. I’ll know ❤️

//FRIZZ// & What we can do about it//

☝🏼You MUST use an EXCELLENT round brush and you CANNOT let your hair air dry if you want to eliminate as much as possible. Ask me for round brush recs!

✌🏼Hydrate! An at home conditioning mask 1-2 times a week, an in-salon treatment at every appointment, & hydrating leave-in products are a REQUIREMENT for your hair type.

👇🏼You HAVE to blow dry your hair in a downward motion. This means your arm has to be ABOVE your hair with the nozzle directing the air toward to floor.

🫶And if you’ve done ALL THE THINGS and STILL have it….it’s time for a Brazilian Blowout. This will eliminate the frizz for 3 months and won’t straighten your hair if you still like to have your natural curl.

Message me if you need recommendations!

ATTENTION BRUNETTES!

Can we all just agree that if you get highlights wrong on a brunette it can be a total disaster? 🙋‍♀️

So when we decide to it’s time for some dimension, this is why I have a deep consult with you about all the things that matter…

☝🏼Your Skin tone & colors that compliment

✌🏼Let’s not take it too far with the highlights—you are a BRUNETTE & I wanna keep you that way(unless you don’t want to be & that’s another conversation, mmk? 😉)

🍊 Your biggest fears….bc I’m pretty sure I can guess one of them is orange highlights. Don’t worry….I talk about this too & 🍊 is not my jam either!

🫵🏻What your hair will & won’t do. This is the most annoying factor bc I like to be able to convince your hair to listen to me but sometimes it’s a stubborn little 💩

🗓️ Maintenance levels….We all have busy schedules and I want to make sure we are giving you a color that works for the amount of salon visits you’d like to keep it around.

✨ Ok my brunette beauties, did I forget any other major concerns you have when getting highlights?? Sound off below 👇🏼

Hi Friends!!

If you’ve been following along this past weekend, you got to see ALL the fun we had in Fredericksburg!

🍁 If I wasn’t in the Fall spirit before, I definitely am now!

I came back with some yummy candles that you’ll get to experience as you walk in the salon & I’ve got some other surprise goodies waiting for you as well!

Every month til the end of the year I will have some really fun things happening in the salon, so I can’t wait to see you in!

Trust me, I never disappoint!🥂 🎃 🍎

Want to know what’s easier than working out? 🏋️

🧴 Using your hair products! Lol

It takes HARD WORK & ALOT OF TIME SPENT to get that 🍑 or those 💪🏼.

Maybe this is why my hair always looks so good 😂😂😂

It literally takes 60 seconds to put on hair products!

I’m all about a healthy lifestyle so like, still workout 😂

but my point is…also do the easy things like using your hair products, mmk?

Are you bad at keeping up with your haircare routine at home?

I’ve got the solution for you!

While I would LOVE for you to follow all my at-home haircare advice, I know that may not be realistic for everyone.

I would MUCH RATHER you do SOMETHING rather than nothing at all.

If this is you, the Repair & Rehydrate Treatment will give you a massive surge of nutrients that your hair desperately needs.

✏️ You can book this along with any of your services or chat with me about it if you already have something scheduled!

One VERY important step most people skip after highlighting their hair is….

🙅‍♀️Not properly repairing & rehydrating.

After anyone highlights their hair, it is IMPERATIVE to go back and GIVE your hair all the goodies that the lightening process TAKES.

🚧 The Repair & Rehydrate Treament I offer can be done quickly at the shampoo bowl after any highlighting service. 🧖‍♀️

It addresses & effectively treats so we don’t get any of the crispy critters 🐜 that ultimately happen over time if we aren’t diligent.

✏️ You can ADD this on when booking your service or we can chat about it at your next appointment!

Did you know that you can work during your appointments with me?!

A lot of my guests already do but if you haven’t discovered this “work from home” hair appointment hack, I’ll give you the 411.

Here are some details to prepare for your next “work from home” 😉😉 salon appointment:

📞 Conference call? No problem! I close the door & mute the music so no one will know your current office locale.

📡 I have Wifi available that you can connect to!

🔌 Bring your laptop cord just in case your power runs low!

🤔 Wondering if it bothers me? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I get in my creative zone and get to work!

🤫Silence is NEVER awkward for me lol. So don’t worry about filling the air😘
Feel free to completely focus & work on whatever you need to!

I’ll have to wash & blow dry so if you need timing specifics to schedule things around, shoot me a message and I can break it down for you!

Something you may not know about TONERS…

👩‍🍳 Imagine if a chef cooked you a 🥩 and didn’t marinate, didn’t season, no butter.

✨There’s no balance and harmony with the taste of your dish.

Same thing happens without a toner. Toner is how I balance and refine the color of your highlight.

👩‍🔬 So when you are wondering why I have 5 bottles out and what I’m doing mixing little drops on top of a scale….

💗I’m creating harmony to your highlights :)

💻 The absolute BEST way to contact me is by visiting my CONTACT page on my website and shooting me a message on there!

Did you know that one of my clients is my youngest son’s namesake?!

Fun Fact….This is one of his sisters.

Another fun fact….➡️the next picture is also his sister….actually his TWIN sister. 👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻

They all have gorgeous, thick hair courtesy of their amazing mama.

I’ve never met another set of siblings that have such a special bond & dynamic.

I love that I get to be a part of y’all’s world ❤️

And also….thank you to Mama Huff for naming your son such a cool name so I can also name my son such a cool name 😂😘

The name is Collins, btw. 😉

One thing you may not know about a BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT….

Here’s one MAJOR perk of having hand-tied extensions….

You literally only need to style your hair ONE time(mayyyyybe 2) PER WEEK! 🤯

Your new extensions hold a style so well that they give you so much time back in the mornings. 👏🏻

Put your face on, brush your hair a bit, and you’re out the door! 🚪

✏️You can schedule your extension consult here:

What’s the point of having extensions if you look like a jellyfish???

You know that look. The “tentacles” look.

I said it. 🤷‍♀️

The ENTIRE goal is to make them SO BLENDED and match the color SO WELL that NO ONE can tell.

Insert me. 💁‍♀️

☝🏼Head over to my website,✌🏼book an extension consult, 👏🏻have fabulous hair.

Client: “My hair just naturally parts there and I’ve always parted it there so it won’t let me move it….”
Me: ☺️

🚨 Great News, Friend! Your hair parts in multiple different places!

🚿 When it’s wet, it will part in several different areas NATURALLY.

When it’s dry, not so much. This is because your hair thinks it lives in whatever part it dried in. 🏡

Wet hair has no memory! It does not remember where you parted it last so you can now part wherever you want. 🪄

Something you might not know about Brazilian Blowouts….

☝🏼They eliminate frizz-they DO NOT get rid of curl/wave

✌🏼You will have the SOFTEST hair you’ve ever had IN YOUR LIFE. Sorry, that was dramatic 😂lol….but true nonetheless.

3️⃣ Your hair will style 1000% better. Your blowouts are smoother, your waves look shinier.

You can go on your 🏖 beach vacation and STILL have pretty hair! 🤯

✏️ I offer them two ways…one for people with average density and another for thick/long hair.

✨ You can quickly schedule this online 24/7 by visiting my website and clicking book now!

Still having trouble adjusting to a new part? I’ve got you! Here’s what you can do…

Have face framing highlights placed around the new part!

This will brighten and frame the area making it look more like home. 🏡

Think of a living room mantle with a tv above it….that is the focal point of the room. Same thing applies with face framing highlights around your part.

⭐️ You can add this on to any appointment! Look for it in the ‘Specialty’ tab when booking online 👌🏼

You’re ready to change your part and you want to know where to start….

Here’s some simple steps to avoid frustration:

☝🏼 Change your part when your hair is WET!

(If you try to change it when it’s already dry, your hair has already remembered where it wants to be. Wet it, and try again. It’s like a reset button for your hair)

✌🏼Blow dry it in the part that you’re wanting it to be in

That’s it!

I love how so many of you have come into the salon with your part changed or ready to change it.

I love it when people embrace change 🌞

🇺🇸Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸I hope everyone is enjoying their day with the ones they love and celebrating!

Common misconceptions about Brazilian Blowouts…

☝🏼 It damages your hair.

❌ When done properly, there is zero damage to the hair. I customize every treatment to each person’s hair type, texture, and current condition.

✌🏼It straightens the hair.

❌ This is a SMOOTHING treatment. It does not STRAIGHTEN hair. This is actually an ideal treatment for people with curl to their hair because it eliminates their biggest concern—FRIZZ.

Let’s spend our Summer doing the things we love and less time fighting frizz 😉

I know y’all are about to come at me for this but….

Moving your part from a SIDE part to more of a CENTER or off-center part DOES give a more youthful look. 🤭🤷‍♀️

I wanted to fight it.

I wanted to say….SIDE PART FO-LIFE.

And then I tried it.

And now I’m rocking a center part.🤷‍♀️

So what I’m saying is, try it! If you don’t like it, you’re not married to it! But if you don’t like it, try it again later. Sometimes it just takes a bit for our eyes to adjust to seeing ourselves differently.
