Becoming a Wella Color Expert Alumni and having the opportunity to participate in Expert In Focus Photoshoot has been one of the most powerful and defining moments of my career. Being surrounded by such incredible artistry, education, creativity, and passion pushed me to grow in ways I never expected. This experience reminded me why I fell in love with this industry in the first place…to create, inspire, evolve, and never stop learning. I also felt so incredibly immersed and supported by the best team ever @erik.wella @tommy.wella @jessica.wella . The energy, talent, and encouragement in the rooms was something truly special. Huge shoutout to my baddie @jaedynaryah for trusting me and serving looks all day 😘✨ I walked away feeling more inspired, more confident in my craft, and more motivated than ever to keep elevating behind the chair and beyond it. Truly one of the greatest experiences of my professional journey so far. 🙏 #wellaeducation #hairphotoshoot #growth #curlyhair #redhaircolor

De Saint-Tropez à San Francisco 🇫🇷✈️🇺🇸 Quand une partie de notre équipe de Saint-Tropez a découvert notre salon de San Francisco, ce n’était pas une simple visite — c’était une immersion dans ce qui définit Blake Charles Salon. L’énergie. Le souci du détail. Une culture tournée vers l’excellence et l’évolution constante. Ici, le luxe est intentionnel — chaque expérience client est pensée, jamais laissée au hasard. Nous construisons bien plus qu’un salon. Un standard. Une signature. Une destination. Saint-Tropez × San Francisco — et ce n’est que le début. #BlakeCharlesSalon #SaintTropez #SanFrancisco

“black cherry cola 🍒 meets chocolate plum 🍫 meets baby vampire 🧛🏻‍♀️ “ had the loveliest time at @blakecharlessalon the team is so talented and made the whole experience feel incredibly seamless and elevated✨ went in for a little spring refresh (trim, toner + gloss) and walked out with the richest, glossiest color, still undecided on what to properly call it… but regardless I am OBSESSED right now(!!) it’s the perfect option for brunettes who want something a little extra without committing to a full color change. I love that it looks red in the sunlight but reads as a deep, almost black brown in the shade :’) definitely a go-to if you’re in the mood for a refresh before summer~ full reel review coming soon 👀 #spon #BlakeCharlesSalon #cherrycolahair #glossing #discover

It’s a big responsibility 💅
