🌈monday color madness!🌈 the last time we touched up emily's #oilslickhair was back in november & it still looked pretty good - which is unheard of with these types of colors! she keeps her hair color vibrant by washing with our @evohair #ritualsalvation sulfate-free color care shampoo & cold water. after bringing up her highlights, i mixed up some warmer hues while still staying true to those blues, purples & greens she loves. thanks, @em__dub i love you & doing your hair!! 💗 . . . #darlingcoif . . . . . . #hair #haircolor #allthecolors #rainbowhair #oilslickhair #rainbowoilslick #haircolorist #chicagohairstylist #chicagohaircolorist #logansquare #humboldtpark #logansquarehair #cutelogansquaregirls #pravanavivids @pravana #ruskdeepshinedirect @ruskhaircare #evohair #modernsalon #behindthechair @modernsalon @behindthechair_com (at darlingcoif)

🌺🍑TrAnSfOrMaTiOn TuEsDay🍑🌺 hooray, i remembered to take a #beforepic! so melanie had been coloring her hair black for probably a couple of years. knowing she wanted a color change in the future, she stopped coloring her hair a few months ago, letting it fade a bit, then we tested a strand of hair to see how much it would lighten 🤓🔍✨ she has a goal of going pastel pink in the future but she showed me photos of pinky-coppers that she liked too. knowing that ending up a little copper was inevitable during the transition anyway, i planned to take her to a pink-copper melt, leaving her natural color at her base (as i like to do 😏) which much more forgiving as the color grows out & easy to work with for future colorings. the color was a success! 🌺🍑🙀 as upkeep she will be using @celebluxury's #viralshampoo in pink to keep her color vibrant, then we will lighten again in a couple of months & start moving toward our pastel goals. what's important to note is that since we are staying in the warm color family, it will be much easier for us to reach our color goals than if we were trying for a cool color such as silver, lavender or teal. ⌛️🎨 shoutout to @pravana #blondewand for making the lightening process easier on me, @olaplex for keeping my clients' hair soft & healthy & @ruskhaircare #deepshinedemi & #deepshinedirect for vibrant, even & long lasting results. 🙌🏼 & of course, thank you @melanietrz for letting me play with your color! 😻🎨 . . . #darlingcoif . . . . . . #transformationtuesday #transformation #haircolor #pinkhair #peachhair #hairstylistlife #beforeandafter #hairmakeover #makingchanges #colormelt #chicago #chicagohairstylist #logansquare #logansquarehair #cute #kawaii #velentinesday #valentinesdayhair #💝 #🌺 #🍑 (at darlingcoif)

🌀💕i love curls! 💕🌀 maria's highlights are still looking great from the last time we touched them up (12 weeks prior!) so this time we just did a clear gloss & hydrating treatment to keep her curls healthy & shiny. i also taper-textured her hair to debulk the ends so that her curls stay voluminous up top but more controlled past the shoulders. thanks, maria! 🐯💜 . . . #darlingcoif . . . . . . #curlyhair #curls #curlyhairstyles #balayage #highlights #curlyhighlights #curlyhairstylist #chicagohairstylist #logansquare #logansquarehair (at darlingcoif)

🎊✨☀️gold party!☀️✨🎊 i touched up karen's highlights with @ruskhaircare #deepshine color by bringing some golden blonde lowlights all throughout, leaving a light blonde ribbon of color to frame her face & keeping her hair underneath a subtle gold-copper 🔥☀️ then added some waves with the help of @evohair #iconwelder & my trusty one inch flat iron. finished with #shebangabang dry wax spray for shine & bounce. so much warm dimension! thanks, karen! 💕 . . . #darlingcoif . . . . . . #hair #haircolor #cutcolorstyle #highlights #gold #goldhair #goldhighlights #beachwaves #wavyhair #prettyhair #goldparty #logansquare #logansquarehair #chicagohairstylist #chicagocolorist (at darlingcoif)

#fbf to exactly one year ago at my art show! prior to the show i spent a few hours with each of these 3 beautiful angels 👼🏻👼🏼👼🏽 & transformed their hair into a unique color melt. then at the show i performed a mish-mash of 90's grunge & pastel kawaii hairstyling as an exhibition for @rawartists at @navypierchicago. it was such a cool experience to dream up several different pieces of hair art then bring them to life; physical manifestations of my feelings, my interests, my memories & my fantasies. i hope i was able to inspire people to realize their own passions & work with their own hands more. i actually have that hope every time i do someone's hair! doing what you love is so rewarding, although i know it's not always easy to dedicate time to your crafts or passions. but maybe this will be the year you spend less time worrying about things you don't care for & use that time to find something you enjoy doing, just for you. here's to another year of art & doing your own thing! & more color melts & hair wraps & fuzzy buns & chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast! 🍭💛🦄🥞🌷🍫 . . . @kimestyles @emilykeddy @sweatygoodness . . . . . . @rawartistschicago #flashbackfriday #oneyearago #hairstylist #hairstylistlife #hairart #hairartist #hairbesties #colormelt #fireandice #pastel #kawaii #kawaiilife #pastelgoth #pastelgrunge #90sgrunge #kawaiigrunge #doyou #workwithyourhands #dowhatyoulove #navypier #onaboat #darlingcoif #✌🏼 (at darlingcoif)

hey dudes! 👋🏼😎 are you trying to grow your short hair out but you're entering mullet territory? or do you somehow keep ending up with short cuts even when you asked for a longer style? 🤔😣 i love helping people grow their hair out! it's a bit of a process but whatever your goal, i can tell you about how long it'll take for you to grow your hair out, what it's going to look like over time & how many trims you'll need along the way. i hadn't cut joe's hair in quite a few months & he came in the other day to get the back cleaned up (aka to prevent unwanted mullet 😛) for the most part i left the top & sides alone & used a razor to slim & trim the nape area. he'll be good to go for a few more months, then we'll trim that back part again. 😁👍🏼 let me help you with your hair goals! whether your hair is straight or curly, i can help get you there while looking clean the entire way. hope you had a great weekend! 😽✌🏼 . . . #darlingcoif . . . . . . #hairgoals #hairbrained #hairnerd #iknowwhatimdoing #hashtags #logansquare #chicagohairstylist #logansquarehair (at darlingcoif)

✨🦄FRI-YAY🦄✨ to transform @annayelli_ from a blue-green balayage to this sunset mauve, i foiled her hair back-to-back with two formulas: one to lighten her natural level 3 brown & one to gently lift the green color from what was previously blonded. i then mixed up 2 mauve formulas & applied them, mixing them together in some areas to create a mauvey-copper. the result is so beautiful & shiny! i styled with a few bobbypins to show off all the colors. 🐙🐅🦄🌟 thanks, annayelli! 💓 . . . . . . . . . #hairstylistlife #haircolor #mauvehair #pinkhair #purplehair #unicornhair #allthecolors #halfuphalfdown #transformation #behindthechair #btcpics #modernsalon #haircolorist #chicago #chicagohairstylist #logansquare #logansquarehair #darlingcoif (at darlingcoif)

kicking myself for not having a before pic to compare! 👞😩 lea came in with a color melt that was pretty much grown out from about a year ago (ahem.. #badhombre 😹) so her hair was her natural dark brown almost all the way to chin level. i wanted to bypass a regular balayage & just get her super blonde right away so i did a back-to-back foil & balayaged all the hair that was left out of the foils. foiling took OVER 2 hours & i used exactly 98 foils (big projects are hard when you don't have assistance!) but i couldn't be happier with how it turned out! my goal was a #khloekardashian blonde with ribbons of lightness right at the hairline & we got just that! so gorgeous. 🙀😻 thanks, lea! 🌟💫 @leaa42 . . . . . . . . . #hairstory #hairjourney #balayage #highlights #foilsonfoils #khloekardashianblonde #blonderibbons #transformation #frombrowntoblonde #bigproject #haircolor #haircolorist #hairstylist #hairstylistdiaries #chicagohairstylist #logansquare #logansquarehair #darlingcoif (at darlingcoif)

👏🏼 check 👏🏼 out 👏🏼 this 👏🏼 kween one year ago i painted emily's long hair into a melty, mermaidy blue & mint balayage for an art show i participated in. 🌊 in the summer i took her super golden blonde & shoulder-length. 🌟 in the late fall we went darker & this time we went ultra dark & went for a blunt chin length bob. ☕️✂️ the blunt cut works well with her glossy, fine hair but i styled with @evohair #cassius clay to add a disheveled, slept-in texture. this is definitely my favorite look we've done so far!! what do you think? 💕 . . . . . . . . . #hairbesties #hairjourney #makingchanges #hairtransformation #bluntbob #haircut #haircolor #espressobrunette #cutelogansquaregirls #chicago #chicagohairstylist #logansquare #logansquarehair #darlingcoif (at darlingcoif)

i'm blessed with all the cuties lately!! 🍊✨ for mayadet i trimmed up the back a bit & de-bulked to make room for the waves to form a little easier. an easygoing cut to enhance texture 💕 thanks, maya! . . . . . . . . . #hair #haircut #wavesfordays #wavyhair #curlyhair #easyhair #chicagohairstylist #chicagohair #logansquare #logansquarehair #darlingcoif (at darlingcoif)

i love my short cuts! ✂️⭐️ do you or does someone you know have short hair & are trying to grow it out longer? or do you want to try a different style but you don't know how to go about it? i love sitting down with new clients & hearing their hair goals. i can turn your hair plan into a tangible goal, explain how we're going to trim or shape your hair until the desired length & teach you how to style your new lengthy locks. it's fun! when i first started cutting burbo's hair we decided we wanted to grow out the left corner to even out the top a bit. it just took a couple haircuts & now it's perfect 💎🌟 styled with @evohair #gangstagrip 😚👌🏼 message me with any questions about your own hair or book a consult with me via the link in my profile! . . . . . . . . . #shorthairstyles #haircut #clippercut #hairnerd #evohair #hairstylistlife #chicagohairstylist #logansquare #logansquarehair #darlingcoif (at Darlingcoif)

so, funny story about doing this lady's hair 😝... we've been doing really fun & pretty "oil slick" color for a few months but every time i tried to take a picture the lighting would never do it justice & so i have never posted a pic. instead of keeping a balayage this time we opted for a full color melt. leah still had blue pieces in her hair from our last oil slick color so i mixed up a real to put on top of it which resulted in a holographic teal-blue effect. so pretty!! glad we finally got a good pic 😋📸 thanks, leah!! . . . . . . . . . #hair #haircolor #longhairdontcare #bluehair #tealhair #💙 #💚 #colormelt #ombre #balayage #blueombre #pretty #prettyhair #chicago #chicagohairstylist #logansquare #logansquarehair #darlingcoif (at Darlingcoif)
