So yesterday after I had put on a hair mask for three hours, I dried and styled my hair to find it dry, damaged, and completely hideous. Before I broke down into a 2007 Britney Spears moment and shaved it all off, I took a deep breath and made an appointment with Studio Be for a rare open Saturday slot the next day.
I used to go to the Fort Collins North Studio Be from 2014-2015 and I absolutely loved how my hair looked when I was getting regular haircuts there. Living in Denver now, I can't go up there as often so I was thrilled to see the Boulder studio have openings! I booked with Linnea D for a cut.
The studio is very small but very nice and followed the professional and chic Be branding. The front desk person was very nice and accommodating and did not judge me for eating many chocolates.
I showed Linnea Pinterest photos of what I what looking for (inverted long bob) and she was very honest with me and told me that the thickness and texture of my hair would require me to constantly style that kind of cut lest it look like a puffy triangle. I instead deferred to her judgement where she cut a few inches off my hair and lightly layered it.
She also suggested the Top Coat, a $30 temporary color to turn my dull, matte dyed blonde ombre into a rich brown. It worked wonders, my hair is incredibly shiny, dimensional, and the way she cut it made it look incredibly healthy and gloriously yet effortlessly styled.
Linnea is a lovely and amazing stylist who took a lot of time to explain to me the differences between what I thought I wanted and how my hair would react to a cut. She explained everything she was doing, had a soft touch with my hair, and checked in with me several times to make sure she was fulfilling what I wanted. She is such a sweet and kind person as well and I really enjoyed telling her about my life and learning about hers. (Both of our moms are hair stylists!!)
I honestly can't recommend her enough and I'm so shocked that she hasn't been doing this for 10 years already with the skill she has. I already have my next appointment booked and I can't wait to become her regular!
Thanks so much for making me love my hair again!
