On this Samhain, 🎃I’ve been reflecting on the goddess and how much of her story has been silenced — a silence that shows up in the expectations we inherit and the doubts we carry.

I feel especially drawn to honor my female ancestors — the women whose courage, struggles, and resilience paved the path I walk today. Honoring them reminds me how important it is to question what we were taught and make space for our own truth.

Seeing yourself, loving yourself, and knowing you don’t need anyone’s approval to explore what feels true is part of the work. Each act of self-love is also a quiet honoring of the women who came before us.

Samhain is a reminder: understanding our past helps us move forward with clarity, courage, and compassion — for ourselves, and for the line of women behind us.

Not sure if it comes with age or just my own reflections this year, but this time of year feels different. I’ve been leaning more into walking the path aligned with the Wheel of the Year, honoring the seasons and the cycles of life.

With Samhain (Halloween) approaching, I set a plate at my table for my ancestors for the first time. It’s a gesture of welcome and hospitality — an invitation for their spirits to join family feasts. Some choose to do this only on Samhain; I’m choosing to hold this space for the week leading up to, and including, Samhain itself.

This morning, I set the plate and read a blessing. Tears ran down my face, my body felt every word, and even my hair seemed to stand on edge — a quiet reminder that this feels right, exactly as it is for me right now.

It’s a sacred, tender way to honor those who came before, to feel their presence, and to invite their guidance and love into this moment.

There’s a moment in every haircut session where the old energy lifts… and you can feel the guest come home to themselves again. 💕

✨ Here’s what your reflection might be revealing — and what your haircut may be calling in…
🐍 Renewed → The Shedding Serpent
You’re ready to release and renew. Your hair is whispering: it’s time to let go. You’re in a moment of transformation — shedding the old stories, identities, or attachments. Ask for a cut that lets something go — a few extra inches or an intentional snip.
🌸 Brave → The Blooming One
You’re stepping into your next chapter. You’re in a season of courage and becoming. Maybe it’s time for something new, or nurture yourself as you stretch into what’s next. Ask for softness and shape that feel like gentle growth — layers, fullness, or a tone shift that celebrates you.
🌬️ Like Myself → The Wild Mystic
You want your hair to feel free, not forced. Your hair wants to move with your truth. You’re learning that beauty isn’t about control, it’s about expression. Ask for texture, movement, or an undone finish that mirrors your natural rhythm.
🌾 Put Together → The Polished Guardian
You’re craving structure and ease. You crave steadiness, order, refinement - not perfection, but peace. Ask for a cut that supports your daily flow — something balanced, clean-lined, or easy to maintain.
🌊 Softer → The Oceanic Dreamer
Your hair mirrors your emotional tides-longing for tenderness, gentleness & grace. You’re being invited into ease rather than force. Ask for soft edges, moisture-rich treatments, or waves that move gently with you.
🛝Safe → The Inner Child
You’re calling in comfort and joy. A space where your spirit can play again. Your hair wants nurturing care. Ask for something nostalgic or joy filled— maybe bangs or a whimsical accessory.
🌞 Aligned → The Becoming Star
You’re coming into harmony with yourself. Your hair wants to mirror your inner glow with shape, shine, and movement that reflects your becoming. Ask for a shape that enhances your natural features — something radiant, effortless, and in flow.
⚡️ Seen → The Sacred Rebel
You’re ready to be witnessed- not for approval it for authenticity. Your hair wants to make a statement. Ask for a bold detail—contrast, fringe, or structure that declares your self-expression without apology.

Guests often ask,
“Which haircut works best with my face shape?”
It’s one of the most common questions I hear — and it’s no wonder.
For decades, marketing has told us there’s a right and wrong haircut for every “type” of face.
But the truth is much more nuanced — and way more freeing.
Yes, our bone structure plays a role —
cheekbones
jawline
forehead
the heights and widths
that give our face its landscape.
But what truly shapes a haircut’s harmony is everything around that:
🌿 Texture – how your hair moves, waves, or shines.
🌿 Density – how much hair lives on your head and where it grows thickest or lightest.
🌿 Growth patterns – your crown, your natural part, the places your hair likes to dance.
🌿 Lifestyle – how you live, how much time you want to spend, what supports your rhythm.
Even studies in facial perception show that what we find “flattering” has more to do with how we carry and express ourselves than following a strict template.
And research on hair texture and density shows why two people with the same “face shape” can look completely different in the same haircut.

When it’s designed in relationship with your features, your fabric, your movement, and your energy.
𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒊𝒕.
Because beauty isn’t about fitting proportions.
It’s about alignment and relationship — between who you are and how you show up. ✨

It’s not about over-styling or overworking the hair. The foundation—the shape, the design, the structure—is always there, guiding the process. But the magic comes in the dance of the hair: the natural movement, the effortless flow, the way it feels alive. ✨
It’s not just what works for me as a stylist—it’s what truly serves my guests. A finish that feels easy, wearable, and still unmistakably beautiful.

For over a century, corporations have been writing the script of what beauty “should” look like—often through shame, fear, and guilt. Ads told women they weren’t clean enough, young enough, thin enough, or desirable enough… unless they bought their way back into worthiness.
But here’s the thing: beauty is not something that can be packaged, sold, or standardized. It lives in the way you carry your story, your energy, your light.
Navigating this landscape means pausing to ask: Whose voice is speaking here? Is it mine, or an old echo of marketing designed to keep me small?
When we slow down and choose to see beauty as a living, personal, and ever-shifting truth, we begin to free ourselves from the narratives written for us. We begin to remember: beauty is a relationship, not a requirement.

Three years ago this week, I stumbled upon the sweetest little spot to offer my work—a place that’s become the most magical container for my heart. ✨
At the time, I had been searching for a home for my craft. In one salon, I was told my sound bowls and crystals might “offend a guest,” and it gutted me. After years of constriction in both corporate and salon spaces & sprinkle in the witch wound, all the emotions rushed in. But as life always teaches—what feels like a no is often medicine. And right around the corner was the gift:
I’m forever grateful to Lacy and Jessica for opening their arms and allowing me to shape my work on my own terms—for trusting that the way I wanted to hold space mattered. 💖
And to my guests… you are the soul of this space. The ones who sit in my chair, trust me with your stories, your energy, and your hair—you have healed me just as much as I’ve hoped to serve you. Every cut, every ritual, every shared breath has been a blessing. I am endlessly honored to hold space for you.
So here we are—three years later. Happy Anniversary 🥳💫Thank you for being a place where beauty is ceremony, and where I (and so many others) can breathe, create, and become.

From high school days in NJ to blossoming into adulthood in OR, I’ve had the honor of witnessing this sweet woman’s journey. Always family, always cherished. ✨
This session was a shedding, a release of the old stories woven into her strands. With each cut, she reclaimed the wisdoms tangled in her roots, stepping deeper into her essence.
No surprise here : she is the WILD MYSTIC -a hair archetype that carries the gifts of rootedness, earthiness, and spiritual alignment. 🌿✨ A reminder that transformation isn’t about becoming someone new, but remembering the truth that is already within.
Here’s to her wild spirit, her grounded magic, and the beauty of transformation. 💫
