It All Starts Here...
Meet the hands behind the hair — grounded in craft, fueled by creativity, and here to bring out what’s already naturally yours.

Your First Session
This isn’t just an appointment — it’s a deep-dive into your hair’s story. We’ll start with an in-depth consultation, then move into a fully customized color, precision haircut, pre-color treatment, gloss, deep conditioning, shampoo, blow-dry, and styled finish.
Everything your hair needs — nothing it doesn’t.
Real results, and a grow-out you can actually live in.
01
Meet Your Stylist
This isn’t just about hair — it’s about trust.
Let’s get to know each other before we dive in. Here’s a bit about me and the heart behind what I do.
03
Customize It
Just fill out the quick customization form and you’re all set. I’ll take it from there — fully prepped, totally tuned in, and ready to bring your hair goals to life. You just show up as you are. I’ll handle the rest.
Can’t wait to meet you!
If you have any questions about booking your first appointment with me, please see my FAQ.
What To Expect
The Pre-Visit
Once you request your appointment online, hang tight — you’ll hear back within 24 hours with a confirmation, or Carlie will reach out if anything needs adjusting. Before you come in, give your hair a good wash within 12 hours of your appointment (clean hair helps us get the best results). You’ll get a text and email reminder 72 hours before your visit with all the details — including exactly where to find the studio tucked inside Sola Salons. No guesswork, no stress.
The Day Of
When you arrive, we’ll start with a laid-back, in-depth consultation to talk through your hair goals, lifestyle, and what you’re hoping to walk out feeling like. Carlie values honest, open communication — there are no wrong answers here, just the information I need to create hair that’s truly customized to you.
From there, it’s all about you — cozy vibes, good energy, and a space where you can chat it up or just quietly relax. Snacks and drinks are always on hand, so settle in. Whether you’re here to unwind, vent, or just vibe in peace — this is your time.
​
Color appointments typically run 2–4 hours depending on your desired end result, so settle in and make yourself at home. You’re welcome to bring a book or plug in your favorite playlist — or browse the studio library. You can borrow a book, take one home, or leave a favorite behind for someone else to discover.
And if you’re feeling reflective, flip through the community journal — a collection of shared thoughts, stories, and little nuggets of wisdom from guests just like you. You’re always invited to add your own. This space is yours
After Goodbye
To keep your color looking its best, avoid washing your hair for at least 24 hours — and steer clear of chlorine and salt water if you can. This gives everything time to settle in and do its thing.
Great hair comes from honest conversation, so if something doesn’t feel quite right once you’ve lived in it for a bit, don’t hesitate to reach out. I offer a 7-day adjustment window — no stress, no awkwardness. Just open communication and a commitment to making sure you love your hair.
