The Why Behind What I Use

 You shouldn’t leave the salon with an itchy scalp, a heavy chemical scent, or concerns about long-term hair and scalp health. Sensitivities to hair color don’t always appear overnight—they often begin as mild irritation and can build over time.

For more than a decade, I’ve chosen to work exclusively with color formulas that are free from common irritants like ammonia, PPD, PTD, and resorcinol. The result is a gentler, more comfortable experience while still achieving the beautiful, color you expect. The scalp is delicate, and being mindful about what we place on it is an important part of caring for your whole self.

Color & Lightener: O&M + Innersense

 Clean beauty has grown tremendously in recent years (which I love) but not every product is created to the same standard. I work only with lines that meet rigorous clean criteria, formulated without parabens, silicones, sulfates, synthetic fragrance, phthalates, or unnecessary filler ingredients. Just as important, they deliver the high-performance results you expect from a luxury salon experience.

Haircare: Innersense + Oway

 Humidity can be one of the biggest challenges when it comes to maintaining smooth, polished hair—especially for high-porosity textures. While styling products can help, a keratin treatment works at a deeper level by reinforcing the cuticle to create long-lasting softness, shine, and manageability. It allows for easier styling at home, more consistency in humid or rainy weather, and low-maintenance hair while traveling.

The treatment I offer was carefully selected to deliver these transformative results with a more mindful ingredient approach. It uses a minimal level of formaldehyde (1%) combined with acetic and glycolic acids to achieve the same sleek, long-lasting finish as traditional systems—without the harsh experience often associated with them.

Smoothing Treatment: Naturia

I’ve seen a growing need for truly fragrance-free services, whether due to allergies, migraines, eczema, sensitivities, or simple personal preference. After extensive research and sourcing, I now offer both hair color and haircare that contain no added fragrance.

These options are designed to be gentle and low-reactive while still providing the same beautiful, professional results.
