A face-framing highlight focuses on the front hairline, creating either a soft, subtle effect or a bold, eye-catching look.

A crown highlight is slightly more than a face frame but less than half a head of highlights. It provides just the right amount of lightness for a beautiful, natural look or a bolder effect, leaving you with a fresh, lifted feel.

Half-head highlights cover the top and sides of your hair, providing a balanced, sun-kissed look. This service offers a noticeable contrast, giving you a vibrant, dimensional style without full coverage.

A full head of highlights provides all-over brightness, creating a vibrant, multi-dimensional look from root to tip. This service offers maximum lightness and contrast for a bold, refreshed appearance.

Glazes are your secret weapon for maintaining vibrant color. They refresh, tone, and restore shine, keeping your hair looking fresh and glossy. Perfect for preserving that just-out-of-the-salon look between highlight appointments, after sun exposure, or during dry winter months.

Book this service for translucent coverage of your grays. While they won’t be fully gone, they’ll blend seamlessly into your natural color. We use ammonia-free, semi-permanent color that fades gradually over 4-6 weeks, leaving no harsh root line for a smooth return to your original shade.

Keratin treatments are designed to smooth, shine, and strengthen your hair. They work by coating the hair with a protein formula—either with or without formaldehyde—to restore health, reduce frizz, and improve manageability. Because keratin naturally occurs in hair, these treatments help rebuild and protect its structure.

There are different types of treatments available, all designed to cut down styling time and leave hair silky and smooth for weeks.

Keratin treatments are designed to smooth, shine, and strengthen hair. Using either a formaldehyde-based or formaldehyde-free formula, these treatments coat the hair with a protein solution to restore health and improve manageability. Since keratin naturally occurs in hair, these treatments replenish its structure, leaving it silky, frizz-free, and smooth for weeks.

When we plan your wedding hair and makeup, our vision isn’t just focused on the day itself. We’re deeply committed to creating a look that not only enhances your beauty but will be cherished in your memories forever. We imagine you years from now, sitting with your partner, flipping through an old photo album.
