Highbrow Hippie

CLIENT LOVE // What a pleasure to end our week with the talented and kind @fergyevers ! We first met Megan last summer, and started on a journey to a perfect, buttery baby blonde. Then, just when we reached our goal after a few sessions (swipe left to see), she booked an amazing new role (catch her in the new Gossip Girl!), and, we had to make her a brunette. After we (mostly me) recovered from the shock of that hard work going down the drain, we embraced the new challen...ge, and to be honest, months later I’m loving the new direction. Megan’s blue eyes stand out more than ever, and we can always go back to the blonde. How lucky to be someone who can be a color chameleon! Our team also just wrapped our 3rd week of our 4th reopening, and in spite of the whiplash, we have felt the love big time from our clients. Thank you all for sticking with us through this pandemic and the shutdowns. We appreciate you all very much, and send love today, and every day.

Redheads! Whether soft and romantic, or bright and electric, it takes a special confidence (unless you’re one of the lucky 1 to 2 % born with it) to pull it off. These are just a few of the unique women I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with. As a colorist, redheads keep your formulating skills sharp, as there is always a balance to strike of when (and where) to hold back and practice restraint in the formula, and when to just go for it and add pops of copper, gold, or a...uburn. . . Tip on creating natural dimension with red hair: Its possible to achieve movement without bleaching or highlighting! Overly highlighted and overthought redheads are one of my biggest color pet peeves. But every color always looks better with movement. I achieve this by lowlighting and saving strategic pieces of faded color in areas I would normally place a highlight, coated in heavy conditioner in a foil (the ONLY time I ever use foils;)) so that even if the color slips in accidentally, the saved hair won’t be penetrated. After processing color on roots and ends, I rinse everything, with the foils still intact, and once all the color is out I remove the foils and rinse the conditioner thoroughly. I then mix a vibrant gloss that is 1-2 shades lighter than the base color and apply that all over for 10 minutes to give the saved pieces an intentional tone, and the rest of the hair tons of shine. The result is time saved, and way healthier hair. #beauty #wellness #consciousliving #redhead #redhair #colorbykadilee #highbrowhippie

February. Typically when I think about February its synonymous with two things - Black History Month and Valentine's Day. To me it represents kind of a fake season of love. Love for people that are collectively maligned the rest of the year and pressure for grand gestures of love for your significant other that you likely won’t repeat again until next year. I've never been a fan of either. One of my yoga teachers says "to truly love, we must discard common ...notions, dispense with the appearances of love and discover where true love lives. We will then find that although true love is freedom, popular styles of love are gilded bondage." Deep, huh? As we ease into this month during this turbulent time one thing that keeps bubbling up for me is self love. Without love for self, how can there be love for others? One of my favorite ways to focus on self love is to incorporate heart openers into my yoga practice. The simple practice of reclining, opening your heart and breathing into that space can be transformational when explored with intention and love. For some it might feel uncomfortable - raw and exposed - for others liberating and expansive. Depends on where you are in your journey, it can change daily. I invite you to try this pose, and to think about the idea of self love and what it means for you. How does it show up in your daily life? Are you showing yourself the same love that you show to others? You can place a bolster or pillow under your back, just make sure your head is supported! #highbrowhippie #beauty #wellness #consciousliving #sensorialwellness #slowbeauty #consciousbeauty #yoga #selflove #heartopeners #awareness See more
