The Darling Loft

I cannot let the day go by without asking you to join with me in celebrating this angel, our Collette Beatrice. Today she is two years old, and she has been a blessing every day since she graced us. If you ever get to meet her, I hope you have the opportunity to know her well.

Engagement season has shifted into high gear, and I am excited for what 2021 will bring in creativity for couples choosing to get married this year! This month so far I have served 3 weddings and have done 2 styled shoots, and each event was bursting with creativity! From a small ceremony at home with a guest list of 20, to a classic flower-studded event serving a few hundred, a boho-dream with a closed reception, and goodness- the list goes on! I would love the opportunity to serve you and your party this year, so to get the conversation started click the link below. I can’t wait to hear what you ave planned for your big day.

I remember the minute. The moment I tried to hide back my smile during my first ever scalp massage. Instead of successfully being cool about it, I burst out in laughter like a big weirdo. It just felt so good! And this month many of you are enjoying a conditioning treatment with your color purchases. Conditioning treatments not only mean softer, more manageable hair, but also an EXTENDED scalp massage. Say what?!? So be sure to add on a conditioning treatment to any shampoo service to enjoy even more of what you love!

Do you invest in your hair's future like you invest in your skin? Your hair and scalp need nourishment in the same way your skin does, but most of us view hair in the "now" and skin in the future. "I'll bleach it just one more time."... "I'll just sleep on it wet and when I wake up I will run over it with a flat iron." "I'll just use my husband's shampoo for now. It's not going to hurt." If you have ever thought anything like the statement above, I would like to take a moment to introduce you to Liquid Spell by Davines. I like to think of Liquid Spell like that cure-all serum you stick under all of your other skincare to produce the radiant glow you crave. Liquid Spell goes under all of your other products before a blowdry, using heat-activated amino acids to target the areas of your hair that are most damaged. These amino acids use the heat to bind to your hair making it more compact and silkier over time. At $44 it is an investment into the future of your hair, and I would love to set some aside for your next visit!

Most of my brides and formal styling clients are in the medical profession, and it's not just because there are a lot of nurses and doctors in Augusta. It's because each of us consider "getting dolled up" in different ways, and going from scrub caps and plastic gowns to contouring and cut creases can be downright jarring. So I like to keep it simple: defined eyes, even skin tones, and glowing, blushed cheeks. And the lips? They are stained with a tone that is easy to wear wit...hout worry of wrecking it. And the best part for me is getting to love on those people who have been hardest hit by the pandemic. I have never desired to work in the medical field, but I enjoy giving these heroes a respite before they have to hop back into caring for their people.

When is the last time you strutted? Like, Dang-I-look-good level strutting. Like James Brown playing as your personal soundtrack feeling good kind of strutting?... Well, y’all I just witnessed it in the salon, and her stylist had a dance party in the loft afterward. It was quite the spectacle. So let’s take one from Alaina and Rachel. You can pop on your pleather and dancing shoes, or shake your braless little mom bod straight into the new year. And if you don’t quite have it in you, I can definitely help you with the hair part.

Are you finishing 2020 strong, or are you hiding under your new electric blanket with a cup of tea, watching your face comfort show as you wait out the month? Either way, girl. YOU. ARE. ... FINISHING. And I believe 2021 will be your best year yet. See more

Merry Christmas Eve, Lovelies! I am out of the salon until next Wednesday, and I am delighted to be spending my favorite season with the people I love! Yesterday brought tacos, late night sewing, and cookie baking, and today we... ok. The kids are chilling. The parents are doing Santa things.... Even thought the salon is closed, remember you can always book an appointment online by clicking the link below! And by the way, doesn’t Linda look adorable?!? https://square.site//8D1D9/the-darling-loft-salon-evans-ga

Have you had the pleasure of attending an Indian wedding? Nope. I haven’t either, but I am able to get this close to one every once in awhile! Today’s wedding had a Christian ceremony in the morning, and a more traditional Indian reception in the evening.... It’s a long day, but so rewarding! I love serving our Indian community

‘Tis the season for doing 3 men’s haircuts, 2 foil highlights, another two men’s haircuts and a makeup in between! Switching gears is so easy now when I am working from two stations, and one lovely set of amazing makeup lights! The experience is enjoyable both ways, and I love it here. Gratitude flows freely
