Finally showing off a bit of work we did last summer! This was a Ruiz salon team shoot for some commercial work 😍 I’m so incredibly grateful and proud to be a part of such an amazing team that not only supports the salon but supports each other as artists! Cheers to more amazing work!

Small recap of October-March! I’m not great at posts but this is a little recap. Life changes so quickly, gotta remember to take the moments and people you’re given and really appreciate them with everything you’ve got 🤍

#MondayMotivation
Nola stepped into the spotlight today as a model for Ruiz Salon’s renowned Creative Training Program! 💇♀️✨
This elite program prepares the next generation of Ruiz stylists through 1–1.5 years of intensive hands-on experience—working on 5–8 models a week before ever seeing clients.
Each cut is carefully guided by expert mentors, and trainees also assist on the salon floor four days a week.
Under the mentorship of the incredibly talented Jamie @prettylittle_headcase , MC @hair.happening gave Nola a flawless pixie cut—and she rocked it! 💫
This program champions growth, artistry, and confidence & we love it!
