Hey!!! Happy Monday!!! I’ve had lots of confusion about my apps!

I still want everyone to use my current app Vagaro! For right now!

I will let everyone know when the new one is up and going it’s very tedious to move over every appt and make sure it’s all perfect!

So for right now my original app is the one we use!!!!!!

Thank you soooo much!

Some of you might be receiving notifications from Square about appt reminders! After SOOOOOOOOO much bad feedback from all my clients I am currently in the process of switching my online booking app over to square! It’s much more user friendly!!!!
So please bear with me while this change is happening! We are having to move over a lot of appts! If you have an appt with me booked already it will automatically be changed over!!! I will get everyone the app to book appts as soon as it’s completely up and running thank you so much for your patience!!!!

Schedule change in the near future!

I always knew there would come a day when I would have to choose a slower pace.

For a long time, I’ve done everything I could to juggle it all — my clients, my kids’ schedules, school events, practices, sick days, bedtime routines, early mornings. I’ve tried to be everything to everyone. And while I’ve carried it with gratitude, I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t been getting to me.

The constant juggling, the mental load, the feeling of rushing from one place to the next — it’s been weighing heavy on my heart. I don’t want to live in a state of always catching up. I don’t want my kids to feel like they’re squeezed into the cracks of my schedule. And I don’t want to keep stretching myself so thin that I can’t fully show up anywhere.

I always knew there would be a season where their needs would grow, where their schedules would get fuller, where “Mom, I need you” would mean more than just being in the same room. That season is here.

So I’ve made the decision to adjust my availability a bit! My schedule might look a little different in the near future Not because I don’t love what I do — I truly do — but because my family needs more of me right now. And I’ve learned that it’s okay to honor that.

Thank you for your grace as I adjust my schedule and step into this next season. Your support means everything to me. 🤍

This is a tough one to post!

But over the last few months, my confidence has taken some hits words from people some from clients have lingered longer then they should have not because they were true but because I’m human

Right now i need to protect my peace
I am no longer taking in opinions expectations, or criticisms that diminish my worth or my work

This isnt bitterness
It’s growth and learning where my energy belongs

I’m moving forward with clarity boundries an confidence that I’m quietly rebuilding

So at this time I am no longer taking new clients
And reevaluating a few

Thank you so much for all the kindness out there there’s so much of it!
I just need a little extra right now!

I love all of you that keep me going and excited to keep giving great hair 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️
