Hair by Sarah Johnson

I’ll admit it - I’m obsessed with blondes! The brighter the better! 😎But even I can admit that sometimes a blonde needs a little lowlight to really make it pop. 😍

😅She finally took my advice! I’ve been doing Kandice’s hair for YEARS and I would usually see her a few times a year for huge blonding projects and a big chop or two. I finally convinced her to book a mini highlight and tone for maintenance about 8 weeks after her last service and she 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 sold!
A mini highlight is a few foils placed strategically - usually around the face - to keep your color looking fresh like you just got it done. And the best part? It’s SO quick! Fresh hair on a long lunch? Yes please! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Book yours by visiting my website. 😊

Yesterday, I celebrated my 33rd birthday! 😳 Birthdays always make me want to reflect on the year I had and look ahead for what’s to come. And I’ve gotta say, I am SO excited for the coming year - I’ve got some new stuff in the works that will help me show you all how much I appreciate you for supporting my business and growth over the years. I love what I do and you guys make me feel so special every time you choose to book with me! Can’t wait to show you what’s next! 😎

Looooooong hair care! Here are a few of my recommendations for keeping EXTRA LONG hair as healthy as possible -
✨A quarterly trim, at the very least
✨Olaplex treatments
✨Detangler for combing out (my fav is Kevin Murphy Un.Tangled)
✨Opt for no-heat styles as often as possible (sleeping in braids or other no heat curl methods)
✨Professional shampoo and conditioner for your specific hair type (my favorite for my Rapunzels is Kevin Murphy Young Again Wash and Rinse)
Need help customizing your hair routine? 🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m your girl!

It’s still fall over here at Strand and Bristle but secretly all I can think about is putting up the Christmas tree. 😅 When do you put yours up?!

Heads 🆙 It’s officially November and the holidays are literally just a few weeks away! 😬 If you haven’t booked your holiday hair appointment, it 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 time! 👏🏻 Head to my website to check out my schedule and reserve your time. Can’t find a time that works for you? Send me a message and I’ll add you to my cancellation list! 👌🏻

🙌🏻She gave me creative control.
Swipe over to see where we started with her color. I decided to make her base color a rich chocolate brown and refined her highlights using a “less is more” approach and a gorgeous caramel tone to keep the warmth without the red. 😍 We both loved the result!

😳This was a HUGE transformation!
Swipe through to see where we started, our inspiration for her layers, and HOW MUCH HAIR CAME OFF OF THIS CHILD. 😅 This sweet girl has probably the thickest hair I have ever dealt with in my entire career, but this cut is perfect for her and we had so much fun creating it! 😍

Ready to detox from the week? Rinse all that product and oil buildup down the drain without drying out your strands! This is the perfect way to prep your hair to receive all the goodness in your Kevin Murphy wash and rinse or before you do a treatment like Repair.Me or Olaplex. Need one in your shower? Send me a dm and I’ll set one aside just for you! 💆🏼‍♀️

Highlights don’t always mean BLONDE.
Especially when we are talking about low maintenance color services, keeping the contrast only a few shades lighter than your natural base color looks believable and like you just have natural highlights from the sun. ☀️ Sun kissed highlights never look stripey, over processed or unnatural. I love mimicking that look on my dark haired beauties!
