Hair Extensions for Fine Hair: A Real Client Transformation with Meg Ann Lee
If you've ever gotten extensions and felt like something was just off. They didn't blend, they felt heavy, or you ended up wearing your hair up more than you wore it down. You're not alone. And it doesn't mean extensions aren't for you. It usually means the method wasn't right for your hair type. I’m Meg Ann Lee and watch me change this clients life…. Well, her HAIR life anyway.
How She Found Me
This client told me she had been watching my transformation posts on Instagram for a while before she finally reached out and booked a consultation. This is your sign... BOOK YOUR CONSULTATION. She was wearing K-tip extensions, and her main concern was that they just weren't blending the way she wanted. When I looked at her install, I could see that the application was over directed and the K-tips were probably too heavy for her hair density, which caused the outgrowth to sit in an uneven, almost bubble-like formation instead of laying flat. The intent was there. This is how K-tips come when your hairstylist orders them… but WE as hairstylists need to start customizing everything for our clients. Each head is UNIQUE. This method just wasn't the right approach for her specific hair type.
The Plan
First things first. Full removal. Then a full foil plus toner to get her color dialed in before we even talked about a new install. Because color match is half the battle and if that's off, nothing else is going to blend no matter how good the extensions are.
Why I Combined Two Methods
This is the part people don't always understand about fine hair. More is not more. If you stack a bunch of wefts on fine hair, it pulls, it's heavy, and you can see the track. So I installed two rows of Genius wefts, kept very thin and lightweight. I wanted them to lay flat and actually move with her natural hair.
Then we added K-tips on top and the front sides to fill in those corners for length and layers. That combo is everything for fine hair clients. Wefts give you the base coverage. K-tips give you the blending, the layering, the natural fall around your face. Together they do what one method alone can't.
Why Consultations Matter
Extensions aren't one size fits all. The difference between a good install and a great one is someone actually looking at YOUR hair and building a plan around it. What works for thick hair doesn't work for fine hair. What works for volume doesn't always work for length. It's all about the individual.
If you've been thinking about hair extensions or you've had an experience that left you unsure, you can find me at Moss Salon, and we can create your dream hair together <3

My Top Five Beauty Products Right Now And Why They Are In My Makeup Routine
I get asked these makeup questions constantly: What's the best foundation? What are you using for blush ? Not what's trendy but what's sitting on my makeup vanity right now. So here we go. I’m Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist and makeup artists and these are the five products I'm reaching for every day.
Milk Makeup Cloud Glow
This is my primer. It's a foaming primer, which sounds weird, but it's so hydrating and makes your skin feel fresh and clean before you even start. If your skin doesn't feel good under your makeup, nothing else matters. This is the foundation of everything. Literally.
Auric Glow
This does like three things in one, which is my love language for a product. It hydrates, it highlights, it smooths. I use it as a foundation sometimes and sometimes as a cheek highlight. The finish is dewy and coverage is sheer. Not shimmer, not glitter, just glow. This brand was created by Samantha Ravndahl, a makeup artist I've been following since her early YouTube days. Watching her build this brand and now actually using her products in my kit is a full circle moment.
Rare Beauty Liquid Luminizer
Goes on the cheeks. Clean, dewy, doesn't look glittery. Rare Beauty is Selena Gomez's brand and they actually do the work when it comes to nonprofit and giving back, so there's that too.
NYX Wonder stick
It's a little warmer for my skin tone, but I LIKE a warmer finish over a cool tone one me because low key I am wearing self tanner a lot.This is such a solid product. Sometimes the best tools aren't the most expensive ones. This is proof.
One/Size Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
Here's the thing. Even though I love a dewy look, sometimes makeup needs to actually STAY on your face. So, you powder it. But then it looks flat and crepey. This spray goes over the powder and brings the dewy back while setting everything at once. It's the cheat code for "I want glow but also longevity."
These five have earned their spot because they work in building my ideal skin look, not because they look pretty on a shelf. That's what matters to me. You can shop my Summer Favorites HERE <3 
Contour and Cabernet: The Makeup Basics Class You’ve Been Needing
Hey, I am Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist and makeup artist at Moss salon in Eau Claire. If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me to show them how to do their makeup or get ready with them , I could’ve opened a second salon by now. I’ve had people ask me to come help them get ready for years. “Can you just show me how to do my makeup?” “I don’t know how to make my face look less tired.” “Why does my contour always look muddy?” These are the conversations that happen constantly, and they’re always the same . People have the products, they just don’t have the actual METHOD. The tricks. The permission to not be perfect about it.
What We’re Teaching
So Travis Gorell, who is a hair stylist, makeup artist and salon owner here in Eau Claire, and I decided to team up! On May 8th, we’re doing Contour & Cabernet. A breakdown of makeup basics, specifically contouring, but also the everyday tricks that actually translate to real life. It’s not just ring lights and filter tricks. We’re demoing up front, then we’re going one-on-one with you. Like actually working with your face and your makeup questions. And here’s the best part we want you to bring your own makeup bag. BYOMB. We want to teach you how to use what you already own. Not sell you new stuff. Not convince you that you need a fifteen-step routine.
We’re also sharing our top five must-have beauty items as professional makeup artists . The products Travis and I reach for the most. Not because they’re expensive or trendy, but because they’ve earned their spot in our pro kits and they actually work.
The Details
Limited seating. Twenty people. First drink included with your ticket. It’s the kind of vibe where you can ask the questions you’ve been too embarrassed to ask, because there’s literally no such thing as a stupid question about this stuff! If you’ve ever wanted someone to sit down and show you how to do this, I’ll see you there! <3
Why Your Hair Looks Different After 6 Weeks And How It’s Totally Normal
If you've ever left the salon loving your hair, only to look in the mirror six weeks later and think "Why does this feel… different?" - you're not imagining it.
I'm Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist at Moss Salon in Eau Claire, and this is one of the most common conversations I have with clients. Hair doesn't suddenly "go bad" after a few weeks - it's responding to growth, tonality shift, lifestyle, and everyday wear.
Let's break down what's actually happening.
Your Hair Is Growing, Even If It Doesn't Feel Like It
On average, hair grows about ½ inch per month. That means by the six-week mark, your root is already noticeable. This doesn't mean your color was done wrong. It means your natural hair is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. GROW. This is also why I talk so much about lived-in color. When your root matches or sits within 1-2 shades of your natural color, grow-out looks intentional instead of harsh. That choice alone can dramatically change how your hair looks at week six versus week two. Don't even get me started on a base break. IYKYK.
Toner Fading Is Normal, Not a Color Failure
Color changes over time - especially blondes and brunettes with warmth underneath. I always stress this point during consultations with clients who want cool tones or vivid colors. All artificial color pigment fades and will need maintenance. Shampooing, heat styling, hard water, sun exposure, and even how often you work out all affect tone. Blonde clients may notice warmth creeping in looking yellow or brassy. Brunettes might feel dull or flat as their color fades. That doesn't mean you need a full transformation color appointment - often, a gloss or toner refresh brings everything back to life.
This is why I often recommend maintenance services between big appointments. Small adjustments can keep your hair looking fresh without starting over. Unless you WANT a high maintenance color. We do those too and I need to see you about every 5-7 weeks.
Hair Health Affects How Color Wears
Healthy hair holds color better. Damaged hair fades faster and changes tone more unpredictably.
This is something I'm very upfront about during consultations at Moss. If hair is over-processed, even the best color formula won't last the way you want it to. Sometimes the smartest move is focusing on treatments, trims, or adjusting expectations before pushing lighter or brighter.
Long-term hair goals always win over quick fixes!!
Lifestyle & At Home Hair Care
Your daily habits play a bigger role than most people realize. Two clients can get the same color on the same day and have totally different results six weeks later - based on their hair health and at home haircare routine.
My goal as a stylist is always to explain how your color will grow out, when it may shift and what maintenance actually looks like. Not just how it looks on day one when we take the after photo.
Hair is a process, not a one-time event.
If your hair looks different after six weeks, that doesn't mean something went wrong - it means your hair is alive, growing, and responding to real life. Understanding growth, tone shift, and hair health helps you make better decisions, plan smarter appointments, and feel more confident between visits <3
Small Salon Budget Wins: How to Get Great Hair Without Overspending in 2026
If you're heading into a new year trying to be more intentional with your spending, you're not alone. I'm Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist at Moss Salon here in Eau Claire, and clients constantly tell me the same thing: they want great hair, but they also want their money to make sense.
The good news? You don't have to overspend to love your hair. You just need to be strategic.
This post is all about small salon budget wins - the little choices that make a big difference for both your hair and your wallet.
Start With the Right Service (Not Just the Trendiest One)
One of the biggest budget mistakes I see is booking a service based on a trend instead of real life. Not every client needs a full bleach and tone, a major color shift, or the highest-maintenance option available.
Now, if you want high-maintenance hair - white blonde, bold contrast, frequent appointments - that's totally fine. We do that too. But for many clients, a partial foil, gloss, root refresh, or blended color gives them about 80% of the look they want at a fraction of the cost.
A good stylist should help you choose a service that fits your lifestyle, maintenance schedule, and budget - not just what's popular or most expensive.
Maintenance Appointments vs. Big Transformations
From a budget standpoint, consistent maintenance almost always costs less than waiting too long and needing a "color corrections". Glosses, toners, trims, and treatments help extend the life of your color and prevent damage that leads to expensive corrections later.
This is especially true for extension clients. Staying on a regular maintenance schedule protects both your natural hair and your investment. I talk more about this in my hair extension series if you're considering extensions or already wearing them.

Invest in the Right Home Care
You don't need a shelf full of 50 products to have good hair. Most clients do best with:
- One quality shampoo and conditioner for their hair type
- A leave-in with heat protection
- One targeted weekly treatment (moisture or repair)
Buying the right products once is almost always cheaper than cycling through random ones every few weeks. This is one of those small wins that really pays off long-term.
Choose a Stylist You Can Grow With
Switching stylists or salons frequently can get expensive - and honestly, it can do more harm than good. When you work with someone who understands your hair, your budget, and your long-term goals, everything becomes more consistent. Consistency saves money.
I really like to focus on long-term hair planning, not just one-off appointments. I recently had a consultation with a client who wanted high-contrast white blonde hair, dark lowlights, and long extensions. Her hair was already compromised from previous blonding elsewhere, and while I could technically give her that color, it wouldn't last - and it would almost certainly cause damage.
That kind of transformation plus extensions would have cost around $1,500. Would I get paid? Yes. But within a few months, the color would fade unevenly, the extensions wouldn't match the fade, and her natural hair would start breaking. That's not a win for anyone.
Instead, I recommended time, trims, and a slightly darker, more blended color that would grow out beautifully and still look good 8-10 weeks later - not just the day I take the Instagram photo. Did she want to hear that? NO. Some clients do want high-maintenance hair, and that's okay. My job is to lay out all the options so they understand the cost, upkeep, and long-term reality before deciding.
Budget-Friendly Doesn't Mean Low Quality
There's a big difference between being budget-conscious and cutting corners. Choosing fewer services done well, spacing out major appointments, and maintaining your hair properly all count as smart spending - not settling.
Great hair doesn't require constant appointments or maxed-out budgets. Sometimes it just means asking yourself: Do I really need highlights every six weeks? (Short answer: probably not.) Learning to love blended roots and lived-in color can save you time, money, and stress.
If 2026 is the year you want to feel better about your beauty spending, start small. Ask questions. Plan ahead. Work with a stylist who's honest about maintenance and cost. Those small salon budget wins add up fast <3
Booking a New Hairstylist? Here’s What Your Salon Consultation Should Cover
If you've ever left a hair appointment feeling unsure about what you agreed to-or surprised by the price later-you're not alone. I am Meg Ann Lee and I hear stories like this all the time from people!
As a hairstylist and co-owner of Moss, I believe the consultation is the most important part of any salon experience. A good consultation sets expectations, builds trust, and helps you decide if a stylist is truly the right fit before you commit.
A Consultation Is a Conversation, Not a Sales Pitch
A consultation should never feel vague or pushy. You shouldn't feel pressured to book on the spot or agree to services you don't fully understand. At Moss, consultations are about listening first-your hair history, your goals, your lifestyle, and how much maintenance you actually want. In my experience, when consultations are unclear or get off topic (aka the client going on rants about previous stylists or previous hair mistakes) that's when misunderstandings happen later.
What You Should Know Before Booking
You don't need an exact final total, but you should walk away from a consultation with clarity around the investment, timing, and long-term commitment-especially for color corrections or hair extensions. This is something I've talked about in detail in my Hair Extension Service Expectations series, where I break down why pricing and maintenance can vary so much.
If a stylist can't explain their recommendations in a way that makes sense to you, it's okay to pause and ask more questions-or consult elsewhere.
Questions to Ask During a Hair Consultation
Going into a consultation with a few prepared questions can make a huge difference! Also have ONE or TWO picture references. Please don't come in with a blonde picture, a brunette picture and a rainbow picture. It's a waste of everyone's time until you pick a direction. Clear answers upfront help prevent frustration later. Here are some I always recommend clients ask:
It's Okay to Consult More Than One Salon
Consulting with more than one stylist doesn't mean you're being difficult-it means you're being informed. Different salons approach services, pricing, and maintenance differently. Comparing consultations can help you find the best fit for your expectations and budget.
This ties directly into what I shared in last week's post about how to find a new hairstylist, where your research and communication are just as important as the final hair result.
A salon consultation should leave you feeling confident, informed, and comfortable-not confused. Whether you end up booking at Moss or another salon in Eau Claire, you deserve transparency before committing to a service. When clients understand the plan, the price, and the maintenance, the entire salon experience is better-for everyone involved <3
New Year, New Hairstylist: How to Find the Right Hair Stylist for You in 2026
The start of a new year usually brings that "fresh start" energy-and for a lot of people, that includes finding a new hairstylist. Maybe you moved, your stylist moved, your hair goals changed, or you're finally ready to invest differently. Whatever the reason, choosing the right salon matters more than most people realize.
I'm Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and I see clients all the time who say they wish they had done a little more research before diving into their last hair appointment with a stylist who just didn't deliver results or made them feel like their hair appointment was an issue for the salon. So, let's talk about how to actually find a stylist who fits you, your hair goals, and your budget-without getting caught up in hype.
Start With Google and Reviews (But Read Between the Lines)
Google is still one of the best places to start when looking for a new hairstylist. Search things like "hair stylist in Eau Claire WI" or "Eau Claire hair salon," and don't just look at star ratings. Read what people are actually saying. Are reviews recent? Do clients mention consultations, communication, and consistency?
One bad review doesn't tell the full story-but repeated comments about rushed appointments, poor communication, or unclear pricing should make you slow down and dig deeper. Is the stylist or salon new? They might not be able to support your goals if you are looking for something complicated or extremely specialized.
Referrals Still Matter
If you love someone's hair, ask who does it. Referrals from friends, coworkers, or even strangers in line at Target are still one of the most reliable ways to find a stylist who does consistent work. Just remember that what works for someone else may not be the best fit for you. Hair type, lifestyle, maintenance level, and budget all play a role.
Social Media, Education, and Experience All Go Together
Instagram and TikTok can be helpful tools when researching a stylist, especially for services like color or hair extensions. Social media lets you see consistency, before-and-after work, and the types of clients a stylist works with most often. If you see a stylist's page posting DIFFERENT clients hair WEEKLY. You know they are getting a ton of hands-on practice. If you look at a stylist socials and they keep reposting the same clients hair pic over and over…. They either aren't taking pictures or just not creating picture worthy hair often enough.
That said, not all great hairstylists are social-media focused. Some prioritize their clients and education over constant content creation. What matters more is whether a stylist understands hair health, continues learning, and can explain why they're recommending certain services. This is especially important for higher-investment services like extensions-which I break down more in my Hair Extension Service Expectations series if you want a deeper look at pricing, maintenance, and reality.
Consultations Are Your Best Tool
A consultation shouldn't feel rushed or confusing. Bring a a few questions to the consultation but let the stylist guide you because you are on their scheduling time. You should leave knowing what services are being recommended, a general price range, how much maintenance is involved, and how often you'll need to come back. It's completely okay to consult with more than one salon before deciding. You're investing in your hair, and that decision deserves clarity.
If you're unsure what to ask or what to look for, I've shared more guidance in my unofficial client salon guide, which was written to help clients feel more confident walking into any salon.
Where You Spend Your Money Matters
At the end of the day, choosing a hairstylist isn't about finding the cheapest option or the most viral one. It's about trust, communication, and alignment. I always say you vote with your dollar! It's bigger than just hair. Finding a hairstylist who continues their education, shows constant growth and has clear communication will only help further the hair industry as a whole! Those salons will stay successful. Where salons who aren't demonstrating those things will slowly phase out... and who is that great for? YOU, the client. The right stylist will help you understand the cost, the upkeep, and the long-term plan for your hair.
Choosing the best hair stylist for you doesn't mean chasing trendy social media posts-it means finding someone who helps you feel informed, confident, and supported every time you sit in their chair <3
Before You Set 2026 Goals: An End-of-the Year Reset Guide for Your Hair, Makeup & Closet
Hey I'm Meg Ann Lee and we are talking about new year's resolutions this week! Well sort of.. By the time the holidays wrap up, most of us are exhausted. Between parties, travel, work and nonstop getting ready, your hair, makeup, and closet usually feel just as tired as you do. Before jumping straight into 2026 goals and resolutions, I always recommend doing a simple end-of-year reset.
As a hairstylist and makeup artist in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, I hear my clients discuss this every winter. Hair feels dry and staticky, makeup bags are overflowing with products they don't know how to use, and closets feel cluttered but still nothing to wear. This reset isn't about changing everything-it's about cleaning up what you already have so the new year feels easier.
Hair Reset: Repair Before You Change Anything
Winter hair in Wisconsin takes a beating. Cold air, indoor heat, hats, and scarves all add up, and by late December hair often feels dull, tangled, or fragile.
Before booking a major color change, I recommend you focus on hair health. Adding a deep conditioning or bond-repair treatment at your next salon appointment can make a noticeable difference. At home, a weekly mask and a simple scalp oil routine go a long way.
- Hydrating hair masks (weekly use)
- Add a Lightweight scalp oil (at night or before washing)
- Bond repair treatments for chemically treated hair
You can check out some of my favorites HERE!
If you wear extensions, this reset matters even more. Gentle detangling, sleeping with your hair protected, and staying on top of maintenance prevents unnecessary damage. I break this down more in:
- Hair Extension Service Expectations: Part One
- Why Hair Extension Prices Vary & What Clients Should Know (Part Two)
Both posts explain realistic upkeep, cost expectations, and how to protect your investment long-term.
Makeup Reset: Declutter and Use What You Own
The end of the year is the best time to clean out your makeup bag. Toss anything expired, dried out, or irritating your skin-especially mascaras, liquid liners, and creams.
Once you declutter, organize what's left by priority. Put products you want to use up first where you'll actually see them. This keeps your routine simple and helps curb unnecessary spending going into the new year.
You don't need more makeup-you just need a system that works.
Closet Reset: Simple, Not Overwhelming
Closet clean-outs don't need to be dramatic. Start by asking one question: Would I wear this again right now? If the answer is no, it's probably time to donate it.
Focus on seasonal items first-holiday outfits, layers that didn't work, or pieces that no longer feel like you. Bag donations immediately so they actually leave your house. A less cluttered closet makes getting ready easier, especially during busy winter mornings.
Why This Reset Matters For Your 2026 Goals
I always remind clients that January doesn't need to start with a total transformation. A reset is about maintenance, not perfection. When your hair is healthier, your makeup routine is organized, and your closet feels manageable, everything else feels lighter too.
This end-of-year reset gives you a clean slate-without pressure-to step into 2026 feeling more organized and confident. Honestly, that's a better foundation than any resolution.
If you're ready for making your NYE resolutions but feel stuck, refreshing, decluttering and organizing is the perfect place to start <3
Holiday Makeup Trends 2025: Bold, Colorful Glam Inspired by Zara Larsson
If you've noticed makeup getting more colorful again, you're not wrong. This holiday season in Eau Claire and across the Midwest, bold makeup is making a comeback - and much of that influence is coming from pop artists like Zara Larsson and the makeup artists behind her recent looks.
I'm Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist and makeup artist, and I'm hearing more and more clients asking how to do playful holiday makeup that still feels polished and wearable. The trend isn't about heavy layers or complicated techniques. It's about choosing one bold feature and letting everything else stay fresh and glowy!
Why Bold Holiday Makeup Is Trending Again
Zara Larsson's makeup looks this year have leaned into bright color, noticeable shimmer, and high-impact blush - all elements that photograph beautifully and feel fun again after years of neutral-heavy trends. Because truly lets STOP WITH THE BEIGE LIFESTYLE AESTHETIC... please? These fun makeup looks have moved quickly from red carpets to TikTok and Instagram, and now into real-life.
What's different in 2025 than what we saw in the 2018 makeup era is the balance. Bold makeup is no longer about doing the most - it's about intention.
Easy Bold Makeup Ideas You Can Wear This Holiday Season
These are simple ways to try the trend without feeling overdone, even if you're new to bold makeup.
Controlled Glitter with One/Size
The One/Size glitter spray is an easy way to add sparkle without fallout. Spray it onto a brush or sponge and tap it onto the cheekbones, eyelids, or collarbone. It gives holiday shine while still looking clean and intentional.
Neon or Colorful Eyeliner
One of my favorite ways to add color to any makeup look is a colorful liner!! Electric blue, neon green, and hot pink liner are trending right now. Instead of a full graphic wing, try lining just the lower lash line or adding a thin pop of color above a neutral eye.
Colored Lashes
Colored lashes - even just on the outer corners - instantly elevates a look from basic to ARTIST.
Bright Pink Blush
I am seeing a TON of blush on makeup tutorials lately and I am so here for it! Hot pink and vibrant rose blushes are back. Keep the placement higher on the cheekbones and blend well for a natural flush that still makes a statement, especially in winter lighting.
How to Keep Bold Makeup Looking Polished
The key is balance. If your eyes are colorful, keep lips soft and glossy. If your blush is bold, skip heavy contour. Hydrated skin with a natural finish helps everything look intentional rather than heavy.
As a makeup artist, I always recommend starting with good skin prep. Winter air in Wisconsin is dry, and makeup always looks better on well-moisturized skin. You can check out my skincare blogs below:
Holiday Glam That Still Feels Wearable
Bold makeup doesn't have to feel intimidating. Inspired by Zara Larsson, holiday makeup in 2025 is playful, expressive, and customizable. Whether you're heading to a Christmas party, a holiday dinner, or a night out in Eau Claire, one bold element can completely transform your look.
If you're keeping your hair and outfit simple, makeup is the easiest place to add a little color this holiday season <3
Winter Hair Problems Solved: 2025 Color Trends, Glossing, and Hydration Tips That Work
Winter is officially here, and if you're already dealing with static, tangles, and dry ends-you're not alone. I'm Meg Ann Lee , a full time hair stylist in Eau Claire, and I see the same winter hair struggles every year, but 2025 has some clear trends that are actually making hair more manageable, not harder.
This season is less about dramatic changes and more about healthy, wearable hair that still looks polished through the holidays.
The Hair Colors
Winter 2025 is all about richness and tone control. On brunettes, that means deeper browns with dimension-think chocolate, espresso, and soft warmth without going brassy. These shades photograph beautifully and grow out well, which clients love during the busy holiday season.
For blondes, cooler tones are still popular, but they're being achieved more gently. Instead of constant lightening, I'm doing more glossing and toner appointments to keep blondes icy, creamy, or neutral without over-processing. Glosses are a huge win in winter because they add shine, correct tone, and help hair feel healthier when the air is dry.
Low-Maintenance Hair Is the Trend
Clients are leaning into styles that don't require daily heat styling. Heatless curls are still a huge trend and I'm here for it! If you have a soft layered haircut you gotta try heatless curls. Winter weather doesn't play nice with perfect curls or sleek blowouts, so cuts that move easily are key.
If you're thinking of going short, bobs are TAKING OVER in the hair world. A nice sleek bob in the winter is so chic. I say go for it!
I'm also seeing more people embracing their natural wave or curl pattern and just enhancing it with the right products instead of fighting it every morning.
Winter Hair Care That Actually Helps
Dry air, coats, scarves, and constant temperature changes all lead to tangling and static. The biggest fixes are simple. Water & leave in treatments. Hydrating treatments are huge right now, especially in-salon treatments that help lock moisture back into the hair. At home, lightweight leave-ins and oils help prevent friction without weighing hair down.
Another big tip is brushing gently and often. Winter tangles get worse when hair is neglected, especially around the nape and under scarves. A soft brush and a little patience go a long way!
Here are some of my favorites:
Winter isn't the season to overdo it. Fewer blonding appointments, more glossing, regular trims, and hydration-focused haircare will keep your hair looking better than trying to "fix" dryness with more heat or more bleach.
If your hair feels manageable, shiny, and healthy-you're doing winter hair right.
If you're in Eau Claire or the Chippewa Valley and looking for low-maintenance winter hair appointments you can find me at Moss salon!
This is the season to focus on health first. Your hair will thank you come spring<3
