I AM HER ❤️🔥 CC STYLES
Hi friends!!
I’ve been a little quiet on here this past year or so (but have been trying to change that) and if I’m honest, it’s because this last year changed me in ways I never could have imagined.
On January 24th 2025, I lost my daddy unexpectedly and tragically. A heartbreak that reshaped my entire world.
On March 17th 2025, I became an auntie and a God mother for the very first time! Welcoming my beautiful niece into this world and into my heart forever.
And on November 1st 2025, I married my twin flame 🔥 it was the most sacred, beautiful day of my life!!
Grief and joy have lived side by side in my life this past year. Some days it’s been hard just to keep my head above water. Most days, if I’m being honest. But through the love and support of my husband, my family, my friends, my pets… and my loyal clients who sit in my chair and share life with me….I’ve found strength.
I’ve found love that lives on.
I’ve found purpose again.
Many of you know I call myself your “local bubbly stylist” - a little nod to my maiden name, Champagne, and the energy I’ve always tried to bring into every room and every appointment!
This year reminded me that being “bubbly” doesn’t mean life is always light. It means choosing to rise. Choosing warmth. Choosing joy when you can find it. And I carry my dad with me in that…in the laughter, in the resilience, in the sparkle that refuses to disappear.
As I step into 2026, I’m committing to the salon full time. This isn’t just about hair for me…it’s about connection, confidence, creativity, and creating a space where people feel seen, safe, and cared for.
I’m reintroducing myself not just as a hairstylist, but as a woman who has been changed - softened, strengthened, and deeply reminded how precious this life is.
There are new and exciting things coming to the salon, and I truly cannot wait to share them with you. 🤍
Thank you for being here. Always.
With love, your local bubbly stylist…Carly Champagne Gillen 🤍🫧
Allow me to reintroduce myself, it seems like perfect timing with recently getting my hair account back and just getting my photos back from @biela.photo 🕊️ I’m CC Styles, Aka Carly Champagne. I’m a licensed cosmetologist who has happily been doing professional hair and makeup for over 7 years! I specialize in color corrections and balayage. Lived-in colors are a personal favorite of mine - created to harmonize with my clients every day lifestyle without worrying about the growing out process! My beauty home is at my mother, Karen’s salon - she herself has been doing hair in this very salon for over 30 years and I have learned so much from her. The salon has changed so much throughout the years, but what hasn’t changed is Karen’s passion for the beauty industry, and that gene has been passed on to me as well - I have been in love with hair and makeup for as long as I can remember! I offer a wide variety of hair and makeup services for reasonable prices. I am looking forward to making your goals come true, and to make you shine brighter than you already do! New clients welcome, we hope you join our family! 🫶🏼
Vanilla blonde with a pop of baby pink 🩷🤍🤩
Full highlight and tone on this beauty, plus some pops of baby pink that make you do a double take! 🥰 we’re obsessed ✨
Graduation day 🥳🎓
There aren’t many people I’d willingly get up at 5 am for lol, but this beauty right here is graduating with her Master’s today and I wouldn’t miss this glam session for the world!! 🤍
Watching you work toward this moment has been such an honor. I’ve had the privilege of glamming you for so many special milestones over the years (multiple graduations, Colleen events, many pageants, semi formals, proms, and countless more special events!), and every appointment, lunch date, and hangout came with another update about classes, clinicals, exams, volunteering, long nights, stressful moments, and all the hard work happening behind the scenes. I got a front row seat to your determination, your heart, and the amount of sacrifice it took to get here.
You never gave up, even when things were overwhelming, and I hope today you truly take a moment to realize how incredible this accomplishment is! A Master’s degree is no small thing. You earned every bit of this through hard work, dedication, and perseverance.
I’m so proud of you, not just for the degree itself, but for the person you are and have grown to be through it all. It’s been so special getting to celebrate each chapter alongside you, and I feel lucky to call you both my client and one of my best friends. 🤍
Now go walk that stage, beautiful!!!! You did it!!! 🥹🎓✨
Birthday girl hair!! 🤍🥳
*before at the end* This lovely lil lady took a few years off from any salon visits, and was ready for a big change! She wanted to go more blonde but nothing high maintenance, and to even out her hair colors! So we decided a full balayage, toner in between the bleach to match her roots, overall tone, and heathy chop was the way to go!!! It’s giving ✨natural beauty✨!!!!
Copper queen 👩🏻🍳💋🧡🔥
Indoor vs. one outdoor photo for this copper queen! I love the way lighting can change a color, and no matter which way the sun shines or the wind blows - this is absolutely stunning! We gave this beauty a full balayage, cut, and tone to give her a lived in, easily maintainable “do” 💁🏻♀️
Color, confidence, and a whole lotta sparkle ✨✂
Carly doesn’t just transform hair, she brings the pop, the personality, and the kind of energy you wish you could bottle up and take home with you! 💖
We had sooo much fun doing Carly's new branding photos! Not in my typical wheelhouse for photoshoots which made it that more exciting! Forever obsessed with my girl behind the chair 💫
the difference lighting can make 🤩
She was ready for a bold change!! We did a dark root melt and a chunky highlight blended into her mostly blonde hair for this beauty!! The dark root melt will match her regrowth and the blended chunky highlights into her blonde will stay diffused as her hair keeps growing!! This way she gets the most longevity out of her new hair 🤍
PINK 🤭 we are truly obsessed with this 🔥✨
I didn’t take a “before” photo but I did add two “progress pics” at the end! LAST TIME this beauty was in my chair - we gave her a red peek-a-boo, and sent her home with a red depositing conditioner for at-home maintenance!
THIS time I did a full balayage on her - and you can see exactly where the red depositing conditioner stuck to her hair once we put bleach on it (she stopped using it a few months ago)! But no worries, because pink was clearly the goal 😉
