The reopening date is getting closer and closer and I can’t wait to be back in the studio transforming hair. As we work to get all of our ducks in a row, it’s starting to feel more like we’re preparing for a grand reopening event! It’s crazy to think we’ve been closed for two whole […]

You may have noticed… extensions have become really popular. But there’s a big difference between something that has just gained a lot of popularity and become trendy, and something that is someone’s passion and life’s work.

A few weeks ago I gave you all a preview of my upcoming YouTube Channel and its first series, Garnish Your Growth. Now, almost a month later, we have officially launched the first 4 episodes! I wanted to share my experience with creating these videos and why I felt like it was so important for […]

I’ve shared with you all before about the transition of my business from Garnish Hair Studio to Garnish Extension Studio, and talked a little bit about the why. Recently, Niko and I sat down with a videographer to chat about the transition of Garnish and really dive deep into the behind the scenes of every […]

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet someone who is a huge influence within the hair industry. If you’ve never heard of Chris Appleton, you’ve definitely seen his work. He works with everyone from the Kardashians to Rita Ora to JLo to Katy Perry. He’s created signature looks that have become […]
