CONNECT WITH ME

This year felt like a chapter I didn’t even know I had been waiting for. Painted Knots Studio turned 3. I’m soon to be turning another year closer to 30. And I said “yes” to forever.

Somewhere in the middle of all the chaos, appointments, and everyday life, I was reminded that I’m still just a girl figuring things out … learning, loving, getting it wrong, trying again.

Life has a funny way of working out right on time. The right opportunities, the right people, the right moments… they show up when you’re ready, even if you don’t realize you are.

Thank you for being part of my world — not just the stylist version of me, but the human one too. 🫶🏼

Lately I’ve been keeping more of my personal life tucked a little closer to my heart.
Not because I don’t want to share, but because some moments feel too intimate and meaningful for the big, public spaces.

I’ll save the longer story of our journey for another time… but anyone who’s been around since the beginning knows he’s been a keeper from day one.

Somewhere along the way, we found our faith again — together.
Here’s to forever 🤍🥂

There’s a moment in an appointment when I can feel a client fully exhale — that shift from “explaining” to “she already gets me.”

It’s not that she’s hands-off, it’s that she trusts I understand her hair, her lifestyle, and what will actually work for her without her having to over-explain every detail.

We still make intentional decisions together, but she doesn’t have to carry the mental load alone.

That quiet trust is what I care about most — beyond the hair.

A little color truth that might surprise you:

The best-looking, healthiest highlights aren’t always the brightest ones — they’re the ones that stay within 2–3 levels of your natural shade.

When there’s less contrast between your base and your highlights, the result is softer, more dimensional, and beautifully effortless — almost like it happened naturally in the sun.

That said, going brighter absolutely has its place — with intentional placement, it can still grow out seamlessly and look beautiful.
This approach is for those who prefer something more natural, subtle, and low-maintenance 🤍

Brighter, but still soft ☀️
 For this session, our goal was a gentle refresh — something that felt a little lighter but still natural and lived-in. ✨

We started by chatting through what “bright” actually means for her hair and lifestyle (because it looks different for everyone).

A few painted pieces, some light around the face, and a soft glaze later — we landed on that perfect vanilla blonde that’ll grow out seamlessly.

Proof that a refresh doesn’t always mean a big change — just thoughtful color that feels like you. 🤍

Creamy Beige Blonde 🤍 One of my all-time favorite tones — it’s having a moment, but it’s also one of those shades that never really goes out of style.

✨ Why I love it: Creamy beige strikes the perfect balance between cool and warm — giving a soft, dimensional blonde that grows out beautifully. It’s considered a low-maintenance highlight, which means less frequent color appointments without sacrificing brightness.

✨ Who it’s for: This shade was made for my natural “dirty blondes” — those who were light as kids and now sit in that cooler or neutral tone range. If you have crystal or deep blue eyes, this tone tends to make them pop even more.

✨ Maintenance tips: To keep that creamy tone from turning brassy, I recommend a glaze every 6–8 weeks (which conveniently lines up with trim timing!). Regular toning keeps your blonde reflective and refined, not dull or flat.

Clare’s been a “brighter the better” kind of blonde for a while, but recently she’s been loving a softer, more lived-in look.

We brought back some of her natural tone for depth while keeping the lightness through her mids, ends, and face frame.

Low-maintenance, high-impact — my favorite combo 🤍

✨ 3 Things Your Stylist Should Ask Before Highlights ✨

Your hair history 📲
Past colors, treatments, and what you’ve loved (or not loved!) help me avoid repeating what haven’t liked in the past and build on what works.

Your maintenance goals 🗓️
Do you want a low-maintenance grow-out or a brighter look that needs touch-ups? Knowing this helps me strike the right balance for your lifestyle.

Your vision + lifestyle 💭
Whether it’s caramel tones, bright blonde, or a seamless blend, we’ll look at photos together and consider how your daily habits (like heat styling) impact keeping your color vibrant and your hair healthy.

💡 Asking the right questions = hair color that looks gorgeous and works for your life.

Brittany visits me every 12 weeks to touch-up her regrowth. With her naturally dark base and bright white greys, the contrast can make her roots feel more noticeable. To soften the line, I use a custom highlight placement to lighten her overall look, then finish with a root melt to gently blend the greys.

The goal isn’t to cover every strand, but to create a softer, more natural grow-out that feels effortless between visits.

My mornings are my reset. 🌿

Podcasts in the car 🎧
Setting up the salon (linens, diffuser, tools, music, the whole vibe)

It’s simple, but it’s what helps me walk into the day already present, grounded, and ready to create for the people in my chair. ✨

Jackie’s hair is a great example of a naturally dark base with highlights that are noticeable but still seamlessly blended 🌿

As a busy nurse, she doesn’t have hours to spend in the salon, so longevity is key— while still giving her options to switch it up each season. We keep her highlights soft and slightly off her base for a natural, multidimensional finish, whether we’re adding a brighter pop of blonde or warm caramel tones ✨

It’s all about creating hair that grows out beautifully and feels effortless, no matter the season💛

✨ Hair should grow with you, not against you—Brunette edition ✨

I believe color should feel effortless—soft, dimensional, and low-maintenance. Lived-in hair is about more than the look you leave the salon with; it’s about how it grows, how it moves, and how it makes you feel every day in between visits.

When hair is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tones, it grows out beautifully—no harsh lines, no stressful upkeep. Just color that evolves with you, not against you.

Beautiful hair lasts well beyond the appointment. ❤️

Seeing split ends? They are a sign that your hair is breaking and can make the ends look uneven or “thin”.

If it’s been a while since your last trim, consider this your reminder to book that hair appointment! 😌✂️

Ever noticed your blonde highlights looking a bit dull after a while? 🤔

It’s usually from factors like minerals in the water, environmental factors, using hot tools frequently, or using low-quality hair products.

Here are a few things to keep in mind if you’re experiencing dull blonde:

1. Keep a clarifying shampoo in your shower to use when you noticed dullness— this helps remove build up.

2. Try no-heat styling methods like air dry waves to help preserve your color’s vibrancy.

3. Invest in high-quality hair products to keep her blonde looking fresh and healthy!

The ultimate versatile accessory—The Claw Clip

You can easily dress a claw clip up or down depending on the style you choose.

I love using it on days when I’m not quite ready to wash my hair but don’t want to hide it under a hat all day. The added volume it gives is chef’s kiss!

How I stay creative when I’m off the clock 🎨🖌️

Art has always been a part of my life in one way or another. Some of my favorite moments in hair school was when I stepped outside the lines of what I was taught, letting my intuition take the lead. Those were the moments I created something I truly loved.

Lately, art has become a powerful outlet for my creativity, reborn with a new energy— one rooted in trust. Trusting myself, my intuition, and my skills to create something that’s meaningful and intentional. It’s not about perfection, but about making something I’m proud of because it’s a true reflection of me.
