Each one hits that sweet spot between easygoing and elevated, because when a cut moves with you, everything feels more aligned.
Curly to Sleek: A Polished Blunt Transformation
I’ve known this guest since she was little—now she’s heading off to college with a fresh, confident look. Her naturally curly hair was straightened to reveal the clean structure of this blunt cut, polished for shine and movement. It’s a shape that suits her now and will grow with her—just like she has. Her mom still comes to see me for cuts and color, and it’s been such a joy to stay connected through the years.
Curly Confidence | Shaping Natural Texture
Curls have a personality all their own—and when shaped intentionally, they thrive. This dry curly cut was all about honoring natural texture while giving her a fresh silhouette with softness, movement, and balance. No color this visit, just a thoughtful haircut that brings her curls to life with confidence and ease.

Softened Lines | Catherine’s Grown-In Shape
This look keeps the structure while softening the edge. As her hair grows out, subtle weight is left through the perimeter to preserve its shape and fluidity. The result? A short cut that feels a touch more relaxed—still tailored, but with a whisper of ease. Perfect for the in-between moments that still deserve intention.

Cool Shift, Soft Shape
Leesa wanted lightness—just not the warmth that usually comes with it. These neutral-toned highlights deliver a soft shift in color without pulling brassy, blending beautifully into her long layered cut. We kept her length but brought in lived-in movement through tailored layers and strategic shaping. The result? Polished, dimensional, and undeniably her.

This softly stacked graduated bob is the only cut that brings harmony to the mix—behaving beautifully whether worn smooth or air-dried into curls. Currently in her sleek era (though she saves the curl for vacation), this version celebrates both versatility and precision, with detailed nape work and a cut built for shift and movement.
