This lived-in blonde is all about effortless movement and low-maintenance luxury—where every tone melts into the next like it was meant to be there. Soft ribbons of light, natural depth at the root, and ends that catch the light just right.

Like many people, I started colouring my hair at home during the pandemic. It was easy(ish) and I had done it in my 20s, so I was confident in my skills. Home-coloured hair served its purpose for me at that time until the middle of last year when the constant upkeep started to feel like too much. That, combined with my preferred colour being discontinued, led me to consider maybe it was time to start having it professionally coloured again.

The shade of blonde I had been using wasn’t exactly my *dream* blonde, and my root line had become really obvious. I consulted with my hair goddess, April. I’ve been entrusting my tresses to her for nearly a decade, and together we came up with a plan. The short-term pain was letting my hair grow out with a long-term goal of balayage. And while it’s not yet quite where I want it to be for balayage, I knew it was time for a refresh since no colour has touched my hair since last summer.

On Sunday I spent several hours in April’s hair as she weaved both highlights and lowlights through my strands before seamlessly blending my new growth into the strands. I’m still totally shook over the difference it made. She’s a true artist! Swipe to see the transformation.

Photo 1: One week ago, a very obvious line between my at-home colour and natural growth.

Photo 2: Iced Diet Cokes and some mid-process snuggles from April’s sweet pup, Piper.

Photos 3 – 8: Et voilà ! She’s shiny, she glimmers, she’s a creamy blonde and she’s BACK!

I received the most heartfelt message from a client who has sat in my chair for 13 years. I’ve had the privilege of watching her blossom — falling in love, growing in her career, getting married and building a beautiful family with her husband, baby, and their sweet pup.

She shared that with my current availability in Vancouver and her own ability to get downtown, it had become difficult to continue booking with me. She let me know she had decided to see another stylist — and admitted she was nervous, as I’ve been the only person to do her hair for over a decade. I thanks her and assured her that I felt only positive feeling receiving this message and that she would find someone incredible.

Why did this message mean so much? Because it wasn’t just about hair. It was a thoughtful acknowledgement of the relationship we built — the trust, the conversations, the highs and lows shared over the years. She didn’t want to leave without honouring that connection, and that gesture warmed my heart more than I can express.

It also landed at a time when I’ve been reflecting deeply on my own future in Vancouver. I promised myself this transition wouldn’t be about loss or sadness — but about appreciation. Crafting in Vancouver has been a gift. And now, knowing I’m ready to root myself fully in Victoria, I’ve made the decision that 2025 will be the year I close my Vancouver base.

I have countless memories from my years there — shared milestones, laughter, surprises, meaningful gifts, heartfelt hugs, and so much love.

If you’ve read this far and you’ve been a loyal client, please know: I have personally hand-picked incredible stylists in and out of the Yaletown shop for each of you. You are in wonderful hands. You are also always welcome to visit me in Victoria — but I will no longer be doing hair in Vancouver after 2025.

If you already have an appointment with me in 2025, nothing changes — I cannot wait to see you. If you wish to book and don’t see availability, just message me directly and I will do my absolute best to make space for you.

Big, big hugs, my beauties. 💗 by @session.hair

Are you ever ready for a change but not willing to say goodbye to your summer blonde? One thing I love is working with roots, smudging, and toning to add some dimension and lots of shine.

A little trip with friends made for a great highlight from my summer. This is what some of my riding adventures look like, in case you’re curious.

Grey blending. When you’re not fully ready to let go of colour but you want to look a bit less grey, we match your natural or offer a softer contrast for a beautiful low maintenance finish

Dying!.. this fresh spring balayage, using foil to help isolate the lightener resulting in better colour control and avoid overlapping on fragile blonde 🌸

And now for something to pull on your heartstrings.
Today Willow received at home end of life care. Despite my extreme heartbreak and sadness I am so grateful to have had willow from a pup to over 16 years. Many of you know how special she was to me, some of you even had a chance to meet her. She will be forever missed and in my heart. ♥️ by @session.hair
