Meet Imani
My first set was electric blue, and my mama hated it.
I was fifteen, in Pflugerville, with forty dollars and a pack of blue hair from the beauty supply. I braided it myself in the bathroom mirror, and by Monday three girls at school wanted the same.
Now I keep a wall of sixty-four colors in my studio and blend every set by hand, so your ombré fades the way a sunset does. I love clients who are a little nervous about color. Leave the brave part to me.

Kind words from the chair
I asked for “ocean, but not cheesy.” Imani blended three blues and a green and I have never felt cooler.
I wore the rainbow set to my graduation. Every photo looks like a magazine.
First time doing color and I was scared. The peekaboo pink was exactly the right amount of brave.

Good to know
Questions, answered
Is the color hair included?
Yes. Single color, two-tone and ombré are included. Full rainbow sets are $30 extra.
Can I bring my own color?
You can, but I usually blend better than one pack can. Bring it and we will compare.
Will the color bleed?
No. I rinse every color in an apple-cider soak before it goes in.
How should I arrive?
Washed, blown out and detangled. No oils at the scalp.
Do you do teens?
Yes, on Saturdays and Sundays, with a parent’s okay for anything neon.
How long do sets last?
Five to seven weeks. Brights look best for the first four.
