1. It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-In Product

The proof is in the label, this product is a miracle!! It’s A 10 has amazing key ingredients that are key to your hair’s nourishment, like sunflower seed and green tea extracts, silk amino acids, Vitamin C and more! This product repairs damaged dry hair, adds shine, and smooths and controls frizz. It also seals as well as protects your hair color, is a detangler, prevents split ends and hair breakage, creates silkiness, enhances natural body, AND is a flat iron & thermal protector. This is also a stellar product to try out as it’s pretty affordable, so you won’t be breaking the bank before trying a more luxurious treatment such as our next absolute favorite.

Did we mention it’s great for all hair types?!

2. Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector

It’s the product that we all know and love!! Most hairstylists as well as us LOVE this product and often recommend it to clients to integrate it into their hair routines. Olaplex is also great for all hair types, but should definitely be your best friend if your hair is color/chemically treated! The No. 3 Hair Perfector is super concentrated and works to strengthen your hair from the inside out to help prevent breakage.

Keep in mind that this product is a treatment, not a daily conditioner, so try to only use this on a weekly basis depending on your hair’s needs!

As we mentioned before, this product is definitely a bit more of a luxury treatment and comes at a higher price point than our previously mentioned product. However, if it’s a treatment that you find does absolute wonders for your hair (as it should!), you can opt for the larger size bottle to keep on hand for those days when you really want to relax and treat yourself (and hair)!

3. Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask

Last, but certainly not least, is this amazing mask by Moroccanoil. This deeply hydrating hair mask is perfect for ladies with medium to thick hair!! Not only does it add moisture back in to your hair but it repairs elasticity as well! If you follow us on Instagram, you’ve very likely heard us rave about the benefits of hair masks, especially for amazing wedding day hair. Masks like this one are the perfect weekly treatment for our soon to be newlyweds who are looking for some luscious locks, and what better way to achieve such hair when you can still get work done or watch a good Netflix show?!

Hello everyone, welcome back and happy Thursday!

First, we’d like to send our best regards to those affected by Hurricane Florence this past week. We hope that y’all are safe, and experienced minimal to no damage during this trying time.

This week we’re going to be starting our “What’s Your Why” series, in which we’ll be giving you an introduction to each of our stylists/team members, and giving some insight as to what led us to do what we love.

The Stylist: Shelby Lace

Q: What made you decide to go to school for Cosmetology?

A: I actually discovered my passion for Cosmetology in high school! I was in theater and was fortunate enough to have multiple opportunities to help with hair and makeup for a few of our productions, and learned how to do special effects makeup in class. After going to college for 2 years, I decided that it was time for me to turn my longing into action and pursue my passion thus making the switch to cosmetology school!

Q: What joy did you want to bring to clients after upon receiving services from you?

A: The joy that I want to bring to each client after receiving services from me, is the feeling of “Wow, I look and feel like an enhanced version of myself!” There’s nothing more rewarding to me than knowing someone feels comfortable in their own skin, and it’s important to me that they know that their beauty was there all along! We simply enhance the canvas we are given.

Q: Why do you enjoy what you do?

A: Call it cheesy if you must, but I honestly enjoy what I do because I know that I am doing something to bring someone happiness. As I said before, nothing makes me feel better than seeing someone look at themselves in a mirror after and watching a huge grin appear on their face! I love it!

Q: How are you perfecting your craft?

A: I am perfecting my craft by keeping myself as immersed in the beauty industry as possible! Whether it be reading articles/searching Instagram hashtags to find out the latest trends, or reading and watching the materials given to me by our amazing owner and lead stylist, I like to try to keep myself in the know! Practicing different styles in my down time helps as well.

We hope that you enjoyed learning a little bit more about our stylist, Shelby Lace. We always want to to know “What’s Your Why?”!
