A Beauty Routine That Supports Who You Are, Where You Are Right Now
This question isn’t just about numbers—it’s about intention. How much time, energy, and money are you willing or able to invest in expressing yourself through your hair—whether that’s color, cuts, or styling?
Here’s the thing: we all live different lives, have different careers, and speak different “beauty languages.” Some of us love the ritual of visiting the salon every four to six weeks, while others prefer a quarterly visit—and that’s beautiful, too.
When I know your ideal vibe, I can create a thoughtful hair journey with you. If you’re only in the salon four times a year, then each visit becomes purposeful—with a clear mission, a strategy, and a look that evolves with you.
We’re in a time when many of us are reevaluating what’s possible. That’s why I want to create a space where your beauty rituals feel aligned with your life. To do that, I have to ask:
How much time do you truly want to spend together in the salon?
It’s a powerful question. Because while you might love getting your hair done, you may not want—or be able—to do it every six or eight weeks. And that’s absolutely okay.
In fact, we’re in a unique moment in the industry. For clients returning to office life or needing more streamlined appointments, we now have options like 10-minute permanent color processing to cover silver strands. You can have your hair cut and colored in about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. Did you even know that was possible? Within our culture it is our passion and mission at Stylists at North to innovate our services and experiences:
The key is aligning with a beauty ally who honors your self-expression and helps map your self-esteem journey. Maybe this year, that means embracing quarterly visits instead of every six weeks. The trends are shifting, and so is our understanding of what intentional beauty looks like.
I also encourage you to ask questions when you sit in the chair. Ask the difference between demi-permanent and permanent color. Ask why balayage might suit you more than foils—or vice versa. Ask what level of maintenance a look really requires, and whether it suits your lifestyle.
You don’t have to do everything just because you can. Highlights, for example, aren’t for everyone. I’ve corrected many looks lately where clients were given services that weren’t aligned with their lifestyle, skin tone, face shape or hair health.
So give yourself permission to choose what’s sustainable, beautiful, and real for you. Partner with a beauty artisan who’s going to ask the right questions and build a plan that leaves you feeling empowered—not overwhelmed.
And please—don’t set yourself up to beat yourself up. You deserve a beauty routine that supports who you are, where you are, right now.
