Meet Hallie

Hi, I’m Hallie. I collect pinks.

I dyed my own hair cotton-candy pink in a dorm bathroom at Texas State and ruined a towel, a sink and my ends. Learning how to do it properly became my whole personality.

Now I mix every pastel by hand in my little studio on Hopkins Street. I lift slowly with a bond builder, I tone in layers, and I send you home with a pink-safe shampoo and a plan for when it fades into something even prettier.

xo, Hallie

Kind words from the chair

My pink faded into a peachy blonde I liked even more. She said it would and it did.

Good to know

Questions, answered

How long does pastel pink last?

About four to six weeks. Cold water and a pink-tinted conditioner stretch it.

Can I go pink from dark hair?

Yes, but usually over two visits so your ends survive.

Will it damage my hair?

I lift slowly with a bond builder and stop when your hair says stop.

Do you do other colors?

Peach, lilac and soft blondes, yes. Neon, no; I send that to a friend.

Do I need a consult?

Yes for new clients. It is free and takes twenty minutes.

What should I bring?

Three photos of pinks you love and one you hate.
