Beach Blonde by Brianna Olcese

Pro Tip

My favorite curling iron is GHD Pro 1 1/4" ... Curl your hair away from your face in 1/2 inch sections. When completed let cool and brush through with the Beach Blonde brush. Add some texture spray (I love the Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray ) creating those beachy waves everyone LOVES!

Color Specialist

Born and raised in Santa Barbara, Eva is your go-to for all things blonding and lived-in color. Her eye for dimension and detail makes her a favorite for effortless, sun-kissed looks.

Outside of the salon, you’ll find Eva baking, creating art, or staying active—she’s even a black belt in karate (yes, really!).

Pro Tip:
Eva swears by setting her blowouts with Ibiza round brushes through the mohawk section for volume that lasts for days.

Balayage & Cutting Specialist

Pro tip:

For volume, blow-dry the roots first, lifting them with your fingers. When you start with the lengths, you pull down on wet roots, flattening them out. Vomunista by Oribe or Anti Gravity by Kevin Murphy help hold that root lift, saying goodbye to flat, lifeless hair.

A Southern california girl born and raised, so beachy hair came naturally.

Molly’s expertise is beachy lived in color. The… you just came home from Hawaii look… but elevated.

Outside of color, her layered haircuts, and blowouts are requested often!

Molly is the definition of a people person and always makes each client feel confident! She will always have a good story to tell especially when the bachelor was on the night before ! :)

Pro Tip!

Always rough dry your hair until 80 percent dry before styling and for volume, add one 2” velcro roller at your part.on goes here
