This is your sign to get that haircut you’ve been thinking about! Share this with a friend who has been thinking of getting a bob or save it for your next visit to your hairdresser. PRO TIPS: - I love using clippers for a Boxcut Bob because it gives a sharp, precise edge that scissors just can’t achieve. One trick I like to use is having my client hold a piece of ribbon around the nape of the neck to secure the hair in place and act as a guide. This helps keep the cut level and ensures the bob stays symmetrical. The clippers cut along the ribbon, creating a clean, even cut every time. It’s a fast, effective way to get that sleek, structured look. - When cutting curtain bangs, always start by sectioning off a triangle at the front of your hair, and cut them longer than you think you’ll want. This gives you room to perfect the shape. Gradually angle the bangs downwards from the center, keeping the edges soft and wispy to frame the face perfectly. Always check the balance on both sides to ensure they’re even! #celebrityhairstylist #celebrityhairdresser #bobhaircut #boxbob #shorthaircut #shorthairstyle #curtainbangs

Euro summer is all we can think about, and Mallorca keeps winning. We teamed up with @sunniebrook , who splits her time between Los Angeles and the island, to bring you her honest edit of Mallorca. The hidden beaches, the family-run restaurants where the fish came in that morning and the wine is written on a chalkboard. Not the resort version. The one worth knowing. Swipe for the full guide: where to eat, drink, stay, and wander — slow travel style. #mallorca #mallorcacityguide

I had three clients this week alone ask me how often they should be washing their hair. So here we are. The answer is probably not what you think and slide 7 is the one that gets everyone in my chair. #celebrityhairstylist #washday #hairhealth #hairhacks

When I was little and didn’t know what to do with my feelings, I danced. Nobody taught me that. It just became the thing. Now I do it every night with my kids and I genuinely cannot explain what it does for my soul. Motherhood is the hardest thing I have ever done. Full stop. It has humbled me, cracked me open, and challenged me in ways I never saw coming. Some days I nail it and some days I am absolutely crying in the kitchen at 6pm wondering what I’m doing. But then this happens. Every single day, this happens. And I remember exactly what I’m doing. Happy Mother’s Day to every mama in the thick of it. The messy, beautiful, impossible, extraordinary thick of it. 🤍 #mothersday #happymothersday #motherhoodjourney

Comment BEAUTY and I’ll send you the link. 🤍 #beautysubstack #substacklovers #beautythatworks #beautyafter40

If you’re losing your hair and not sure if it’s shedding or thinning, I made this carousel for you. I’ve had this conversation in my chair as a hairdresser more times than I can count. And the first thing I always ask is, okay but which one is it actually? Because they are not the same thing and neither is the fix. For shedding, your hair needs a reset. Gentle, restorative, nothing harsh. @biolage Full Rescue Shampoo and Conditioner is my go-to, formulated with rosemary oil and niacinamide to fortify the root, balance the scalp and protect against the oxidative stress that makes shedding worse.  #biolagepartner

I’ve been reaching for these again and again in my routine over the past couple of months. Thought you’d probably enjoy them too! #beautyafter40 #beautyhacks #agingwell #beautythatworks

LA with kids is its own thing. It rewards the people who figure it out and keeps the rest guessing. Once you find your rhythm here, it’s genuinely magic! Slow mornings that don’t feel rushed, places that are beautiful without being precious, spots where kids are welcome and adults aren’t just surviving. The city opens up differently when you know where to take them. These are the places in my notes that I send to my friends and clients. #losangelesguide #losangeleswithkids #lawithkids #kidsactivities #cityguide
