As you know, I’m a natural kind of gal, and after struggling with not liking my hair all my life I have really enjoyed using henna for the past year to create shine and smoothness in my frizzy tangles.
But you know what? As much as I love henna and will continue to use it as my fall back go-to conditioning glaze, I hadn’t had a *real* haircut, one in a salon, in a looooong time and I was feeling heavy and drab.
Lucky for me, right in my hometown a faboo new Aveda concept salon opened up, and I am smitten!
I saw the signage for Vintage Hair Studio out driving past it one day and it felt so perfect, I was drawn in. Something about the logo, the feel, the energy of the place had me thinking… is it time to get a real haircut, and maybe even a color?
Yes. Yes it was, my friends. It was high time.
So this Saturday I went in with lifeless heavy locks that pulled down at my face, and I walked out with soft waves and gentle highlights and crisp fresh ends. I love it! I feel like a girl again, instead of a ho-hum blob of generic brown. I love what the owner, Krisan, has done not only with my head of hair but her entire studio.
If you live anywhere in the Charleston area, I think you simply *need* to check them out. Located at 717 Old Trolley Road in Summerville, they are hands down my favorite salon, and I’m talking better than any salon I’ve tried in the hoity-toity downtown area. I love that she uses 99% natural Aveda products from start to finish, and I loved the open, relaxed, charming vintage feel of her studio. Located nestled between a coffee shop and an italian restaurant, do yourself a favor and make a day of it!

That’s my little secret for feeling like a girl again this holiday season. Soooo nice to be back from boring-ville. A little bounce in your step never hurt anyone, did it? xoxo, Laura
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! GORGEOUS!!! And your hair looks good, too!
yes your hair looks like it feels wonderfully soft, and bouncy
I like Aveda products however they are not 99% natural…….
Linda, you are right, I should have said “up to 99% natural” because some of the products are, but certainly not most. Thanks for your comment and the clarification! I still think if anyone is going to color their hair, Aveda is the way to go, or henna… those are the two best options out there! xoxo, Laura
Oh my – you look very lovely and sexy. Your hair and the color are perfect. So glad you treated yourself. You deserve it! Hugs.
Your hair is so beautiful, how is it that you struggle to not like it?
It is fabulous! Are you finding it a tolerable length?
Hi Stephie!!!! I was at crisis with my hair, either chop it all off or go get something done to it at a salon. So glad I went for the splurge!!! I do like it again now… but no, this length is the worst for me as far as getting tangles in it every. single. day. I wake up with a rats nest and if I wear any jacket or hoodie (which I do every day!) then I have a rats nest all day long. I’m hoping if it gets a few inches longer it won’t be as bad??? It ends right at the hood of my jacket and gets into a frizz! Tell me that ends if I let it get longer? xoxo, Laura
Looks very beautiful……I used to go to Aveda Studio’s in Germany
Hmmm, perhaps the luscious thickness of your hair makes it behave differently than my thin locks haha! My hair is about the same length as yours (I just got it trimmed at an Aveda salon this week myself, what a coincidence!) and although I do have problems with tangles, I don’t think mine are quite as bad as what you are describing. Try to hang in there till hoodie season is over! It can’t be much longer in SC? I imagine you may have to wear your hair up in the heat of the summer down there; that is also something I rarely have to do. xoxo Stephie
