Tantrum Style: #unapologeticstyle

@nick_tantrum is sought after for his beautiful blondes! He customizes every highlight for maximum impact ✨ By adding a few extra foils around the face, he creates bright money piece with just the right amount of extra brightness where it catches the light most…giving that extra pop around the face! Then, he uses delicate babylights throughout the rest of the hair for a natural, blended finish. It’s all about brightness where you want it, and softness everywhere else 🤍 Call (973) 837-1919 to book him, Tuesday-Saturday ☀️
Watch our master stylist @tamethemane_amyj work her magic….meticulously weaving through these gorgeous curls to create a seamless, dimensional blend of highlights that dance off the natural hair color ✨ With over a decade of experience working with textured hair, Amy has become a true industry expert—understanding exactly how to enhance curls while protecting their integrity. Highlighting textured hair is a whole different art form. It requires intention, patience, and a deep respect for every curl. We’re incredibly mindful of the products we use, ensuring we preserve the shape, moisture, and bounce of the hair. Bond multipliers @brazilianbondbuilder are a must, and we always finish with a gloss to lock in shine and keep the color looking rich and radiant. The best part? This kind of lived-in, curly highlighting only needs to be refoiled 2–3 times a year…. because honoring your natural texture should never mean over-processing it! In between foil appointments we suggest glaze/glosses and deep conditioning treatments to keep your curls in their most perfect, polished state all year long….maintaining tone, hydration, and that effortless glow between services. We will customize a color treatment plan to ensure you look your best at all times 💪🏼💕 #curlycolor #customcolor #healthyhair #goldwellcolor #tantrumstyle
Serving a little wild side 🐆✨ This vivid leopard print by our master stylist @alyse1911 is where bold color meets playful creativity—spots, blends, and pops of color all dancing together. It takes a blonding pro (using Blondor by @wellahair )and a true artist to pull this off, and we’re here for every fun, fearless detail 🎨 Hair, but make it WILD 🐆 😉
Taking the extra time where it matters ✨ Curly cuts aren’t rushed—they’re crafted. Every section, every strand, dried with intention, patience, and a whole lot of love. @michellejessicahair has specially trained in curly cuts for over a decade. Because we believe curls deserve a technique as unique as they are 🤍 #curlycut #tantrumstyle
