This client averages 3+ months between color services. Always books highlight/low-light.

We customize at every appointment. Between the greys around the hairline growing increasingly more frequent, being outside in the summer compared to hibernating in the winter, making customization necessary every time.

Things definitely change per season. Remember, I service this client about every 3 months. That's 4 times a year.

Believe it or not, this client gets very minimal color in comparison to the amount of hair she has. If I had to color all of her hair, cost would be 4x what it is. But it's not necessary.

Blonde, brown and natural grey blending doesn't have to be complicated.

When you're embracing your natural maturity and loving, what I call, sparkle highlights.

Seamless transition from coloring, to natural growth, takes customization. There are placement variables to balance from hairline, through the crown, and into the nape of the hair.

Some clients are salt & pepper.
Some clients are all silver.
Some clients are 80% silver and want 30% silver.
Some clients want some blonde incorporated.
Some clients want more pepper incorporated.

Are you thinking about transitioning? Not sure where to begin? I can help walk you through this, sometimes scary, process.

Frequently asked questions:
-->Cost?
Depends on so many variables. Is your hair dyed box black and now you want it silver? Or are you already a blonde palette? Do you have hair to your waist? Or a pixie cut? Is your hair coarse and thick? Or fine and possibly thin? What is the current porosity/damage level of your hair?
-->Timeline?
Depends on all the same variables stated above.
-->What if I don't like it?
Then we pivot and move forward.

For major changes to what you normally do, I recommend a consultation so I'm able to dedicate appropriate time for your needs.

For consultation or appointment, text/call 989-426-7158.

👉Can we talk about well water?
👉Can we all agree well water isn't going anywhere?
👉Can we also agree, it's important to work with, not against, what reality is?

Great, happy to hear we're on the same page!

You can have beautiful hair and highlights, even if you have wellwater.

This client was a LOT overdue. Everyday life doesn't always allow for committed appointments. Believe it or not, this beautiful soul was BLONDE.

Time management doesn't allow for her to keep that strict blonde schedule up anymore.

So we decided on combining her natural color with highlights that will last longer between color appointments. This will work much better into this business owners very busy scheduling.

Need some advice on how to move forward with transitions in color processes while also managing life?
Get ahold of me. I can help with that. Call or text 989-426-7158 to start moving in the right direction.

Cristy's Salon is NOT closing, nor for sale. No, I'm NOT retiring or moving. Geezzz.

🤔 Although I do remember my grandma telling me something along the lines of, 👉It doesn't matter what they say, they're saying your name. It's all free advertisement. I do get tired of what I'm hearing about myself that just is not true. But hey, carry on I guess. 🤷‍♀️

I can't believe I have to say this.
Kellie Sherlock and I are absolutely still friends. Why wouldn't we still be friends? 🤔

Lyn, the "nail lady", is still at Cristy's Salon for nail services. I am not authorized to give her direct # to everyone requesting her services, nor do I have access to her schedule. When Kellie was with us she helped booking clients for these services and coordinating hair and nail services together. Lyn and I still work together to make this happen for all our clients.

If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment, you can call or text 989-426-7158.

BTW. This pic is of a cut this week. Corrective haircut, after a husband helped "trim". I'm kicking myself for not taking a before pic! The difference from before to after is incredible. ❤️

🤔 Why would I post this pic?

This is a real client.
This pic was taken for a real concern.

👉Hey, don't judge my eyes, or the fact that my bifocal glasses aren't good enough to see this. This pic was taken so I could enlarge and assess. I am 36 years behind the chair. Cameras are an amazing tool in a hairdressers toolbox! Not just for clicks. More importantly, when clients need extra attention.

Anywho. Do you see the concern here? There is an actual growth that has started.

Can you see it? Will you take the time to investigate?

This client has terminal cancer. Is in remission right now, yet still terminal for the rest of their life. Every single growth is important.

Not every client is some amazing transformation for social media. Not every client collects max $ amount.

But. Every client is important.

I 💜 that this client plays with her creativity! She's always so fun. I think it this is the 6th color change we've done. I'm pretty sure we've covered most colors of the 🌈 at this point!

This silver purple mix hit perfect! Can't wait for her next inspiration color. 🥰
