THE SALON EXPERIENCE
Every appointment is built around you. Your hair, your lifestyle, how much effort you want to put in on a regular Tuesday. That's the starting point.
Each visit includes:
A personalized consultation
Custom colour formulation
Intentional styling finish
Professional product recommendations specific to your hair
I work with Wella, Sebastian, Nioxin, EVO Hair — chosen for performance and long-term hair and scalp health.
A salon appointment is more than maintenance. It's a moment to reset, refine, and come back to yourself.
tHE WEDDING HAIR JOURNEY
For brides who want more than a hairstylist on the day.
This is an in-salon service for brides-to-be who want to come into their wedding with hair that has been intentionally prepared. We work together in the months leading up to your wedding — refining your colour, maintaining your length, building a foundation so that when your day arrives, your hair feels like the most natural, effortless version of itself.
Not rushed. Not guessed at. Built over time.
WHY BRIDES LOVE THIS
You don’t have to second guess your hair.
Is it long enough? Should you get extensions? Will your colour last? Should you grow things out?
You have a plan. And someone guiding you through it.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE
Through regular salon visits, we refine your colour, support the health of your hair, and shape a look that grows beautifully over time.
It’s a collaborative approach to preparing your hair so it looks and feels its best when it matters most.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
wedding hair consultation
a customized hair plan based on your timeline
guidance on colour, cuts, and long term hair health
optional extension consultation
Salon appointments throughout the journey are booked separately from bridal services.
YOUR CONSULTATION
We take the time to look at the full picture.
Your inspiration. Your current hair. Your goals.
We’ll talk through:
your wedding hairstyle vision
your current hair condition
colour goals and maintenance
length and fullness goals
extension possibilities
your timeline leading up to the wedding
From there, I create a simple, realistic plan tailored to you.
A NATURAL TIMELINE
Every journey looks different, but it may flow like this:
6 months before — dimensional colour refinement
4 months before — trim and treatment
2 months before — gloss or tonal refresh
1 month before — bridal preview
This allows your hair to evolve naturally so nothing feels rushed.
A MORE INTENTIONAL APPROACH
Hair is not created in a single appointment.
It evolves over time.
This process allows your hair to feel effortless, refined, and aligned with who you are as you step into your wedding day.
If you are a bride-to-be, include your wedding date when booking your consultation so we can begin planning your hair journey.
HAIR EXTENSIONS
Hair is one of the most personal things there is. Extensions are no different.
Whether you're looking for something temporary for a special occasion or a longer-term option that becomes part of your everyday life, the right extension method makes all the difference. I offer two extension services to meet different needs and goals.

Good hair changes things. The way you carry yourself. The way you feel walking into a room. The way you look in the mirror on an ordinary Tuesday and actually like what you see.
Great Lengths K-tip extensions are applied strand by strand using a low-temperature bond that works with your natural hair. The result is hair that moves, falls, and behaves exactly like your own. Because it is. Just more of it.
Whether you want to fill in sparse areas, rebuild density, or finally have the length you've been growing toward — Great Lengths can get you there. Quietly. Naturally. In a way that makes people wonder if you just have really great hair.
This isn't an impulse decision and I wouldn't want it to be. Great Lengths is a commitment — to the upkeep, to the maintenance appointments, to taking care of them properly at home. When that commitment is there, the results are genuinely transformative.
Not everyone is a candidate and I'm honest about that from the start. A consultation is always the first step. I look at your hair health, your lifestyle, and what you're hoping for. If we're a good fit, I determine exactly what you need, place the order, and take care of everything from there. If extensions aren't right for your hair right now, I'll tell you that too — because getting it right matters more than just getting it booked.
This is hair you'll want to live in.
What to expect:
Installed strand by strand for a completely natural result
100% human hair — can be coloured, heat styled, and treated like your own
Lasts 3 to 5 months with proper care
Removal and reinstall available to maintain your look long term
How it works:
It starts with a complimentary consultation. From there I assess your hair, your goals, and your lifestyle. If we move forward, I determine the length, volume, and shade that works specifically for your hair, place the order, and handle everything from there. Maintenance appointments keep your extensions looking their best, with removal and reinstall available when you're ready to refresh.

Not ready for a permanent commitment? Clip-in extensions are a beautiful way to add length, volume, or both — without the upkeep. They're also perfect for special occasions when you want to feel a little more like yourself.
I offer colour matching and customization to make sure your clip-ins blend seamlessly with your natural hair. Whether they need to be trimmed, toned, or blended, I'll make sure they look like they belong.
I have access to a range of textures, lengths, and shades from trusted suppliers to suit almost any hair type and budget. If you're not sure where to start, I can help you source the right hair for your specific needs.
Clip-in extension installation on the wedding morning is included as part of the Bridal Experience package.

Special Occasion Styling
Getting ready for something worth remembering deserves hair that matches the moment.
I offer in-salon and on-location styling for special events including engagement photo sessions, galas, formals, prom, graduation, and baby showers. Whether you want something polished and structured or soft and effortless, I’ll create a look that photographs beautifully and feels completely like you.
Travel fees may apply for on-location styling.
