Hooked up a new client with a tight “Mackey fade” Said it’s the best haircut he’s ever gotten!!!

Cheers for new shears! Added the 7.5” Talon and the 8.5” Gokai Hattori Hanzo shears to my collection. I love them SO much!!

Love when my guys are all smiles after giving them a fresh cut! Come get your smile on!!

This guy has REALLY awesome hair! He’s growing it out and just needed a good shape up!

Guys can have a hair transformation too! This is definitely a hair glow up! Changing up Nick’s cut and style has given him so much confidence!

This UAB football player is looking FRESH with this tight fade. He really loved the layers and texture I added on top. Styled using products!

❄️ ICY. BLONDE. QUEEN. ❄️ This color correction was definitely a big project! Took about 6 hours, a LOT of foils, got discouraged, but got my passion back and created something so beautiful! My guest said it looked better than she even imagined!!! I LOVE it! Swipe for the before! What do you guys think?

People WILL stare. Make it worth their while. -Harry Winston. Madeline is so beautiful and this golden balayage is just perfect for her!

Jamie and I decided to add some dimension back into her hair. We had gotten to a beautiful light blonde (see before pic) and wanted something that required less maintenance! So I pulled through her natural color at the root, then did a reverse balayage, and toned her remaining light pieces to a nice golden blonde. The results couldn’t be more perfect!

Wasn’t easy but was a LOT of fun! I had to remove all the green then I created a beautiful custom color using Countess and Fireball with a shadow root. Thank you for letting me be an artist!! Swipe for the before!

Special guest in the salon today!!!

Clean. Fresh. Fades. Only. Within the first 5 mins of the cut, Aaron said “Oh I can already tell that this is gonna be good!” I love impressing guys with a great haircut customized for them (density, texture, head shape, growth pattern)! Let me “WOW” you! Message me to book and appointment!

Guys! If you want to grow your hair out, you still need to come in and get it shaped up! Patrick is looking soooo much better (I wish I had gotten a before) with this classic slicked back cut and beard cleanup.

Well this was definitely a first for me! Cindy was over having to color her hair and just wanted to go all over salt and pepper to match her roots (see picture 2), so I packed in some foils, 112 to be exact (See picture 3), glossed her, then gave her an adorable cut and it turned out perfectly! She actually started crying and couldn’t stop hugging me. She was so happy to have gotten exactly what she wanted. Made me feel so good! I’m super proud of myself!!

LIVING for this icy blonde! Did a full balayage using clay lightner and toned using ShadesEQ 10 series!

Making Birmingham a handsome place one fade at a time! Thank you for coming to see me, Chance! I love getting to impress new clients with my skills!
