New Service Tiers ✨
Hey there Reverettes,
I hope everyone is settling into this calmer tide as we draw closer to the Winter Solstice. This is an amazing time to dig deep and reflect on your accomplishments from the last few months while preparing for winter’s coziest moments.
As I sat thinking of the last year and where Reverie has taken me (and us), I noticed a pattern of confusion in booking these days. Across the board, at multiple salons alike, color appointments are changing. Gone are the days of “one color fits all.” (That was really never the case, was it?)
As an industry, hair coloring has moved towards ultimate customization, personalization, and revitalization. Each color is a unique formulation and placement. We have entered an era of Custom Colouring.
I’m excited to share an updated, simplified service menu designed to make booking easier and to give you the most customized color experience possible. Instead of choosing between highlights, lowlights, balayage, etc., you’ll now choose a tier based on the amount of color work your hair needs.
Here’s the new system:
✨ The Touch Up — 2.5 hours — $195
The Touch-Up is the perfect service to refresh your color between appointments and for grey blending treatments specific to the roots. This mini offering features a few strategically placed foils around the face and hairline, designed to accentuate and brighten your facial features. This service is completed with a wash and style for a polished finish.
✨ The Renewal — 3 hours — $235
A partial service for noticeable impact.
Great for adding dimension through the crown and sides, refreshing previous color, or maintaining a lived-in look. The Renewal features color placement concentrated around the hairline, mohawk, and crown, creating a seamless, low-maintenance look. This offering can also be booked for the traditional pure color treatment, utilizing one color from root to end. This service is completed with a wash and style for a polished finish.
✨ The Full — 3 hours — $315
A full-head custom color session.
Best for all-over brightness, full lived-in blends, seasonal shifts, or a thorough refresh from roots to ends. You can book this offering for all balayage and blonding services, dimensional foiling and adding lowlight and/or depth to the hair, full foiling, etc.
✨ The Transformative — 4 hours — $400
A high-intensity session for major change.
Ideal for going significantly lighter or darker, multidimensional work, all vivid hair color, including but not limited to pink, blue, purple, reds, etc., color corrections, or detailed, high-density color.
This shift allows me to work more intuitively with your hair, give you the exact result you’re wanting, and remove the confusion of traditional color names. You simply choose the tier that matches the level of transformation you’re after, and I handle the rest.
If you have any questions or aren’t sure which tier is right for you, feel free to call, text, or dm me anytime. I’m here to help you book the perfect session.
Can’t wait to see you in the studio ✨

Full Moon in Taurus
On Wednesday, 11/5/2025, we will be blessed with the largest Supermoon of the year. This means shedding light onto the shadows, pulling from deep within, and grounding yourself in your ancient, primal energy. You are a being of this Earth, you are made from the exact energy that pulls this huge rock around space at however many miles per hour, at however many degrees.
This Full Moon calls on you to act, to believe, and to trust in yourself.
The beginning of Scorpio Season (Oct.23-Nov.21) is always shaky. We are like baby deer on new legs being pulled to all the new delights of sight, sound, and smell. Everything is shiny, bright, and exciting, and you want to take it all in then and there. We begin to sense, and sense deeply. That is what Scorpio is here to teach us. And there is nothing wrong with that! Let your curiosity fly as you are pulled in every direction. You might be surprised at what will stick!
As we approach this Full Moon, not only is it the closest to Earth this year, but it is also one of immense clarity and grounding. This Full Moon brings us into a hibernative state, one that calls us to bed down, put our hands into the Earth, and feel something. Remember how I asked you to sense in every direction, and take note of your callings? Well… What did stick with you? What are some sights, sounds, and/or smells that have come up for you over the past few weeks? Maybe it’s a word, a name, or a place that keeps crossing your consciousness. What patterns can you make of these crossings?
Taurus is deeply connected to the physical realm, the Earth, the dirt, sand, rocks… It represents a no bullshit-you get the horns type of vibe. Hitting things head-on, so whatever you have been ignoring might just come and hit you like a ton of bricks. But, fear not, for there is light at the end of the tunnel… specifically, Our Moon; our connection to ourselves, the direct line to our consciousness. Listen closely and transcend.
Over this week, try lighting a white candle with your intention. Maybe it’s the same word or phrase that has been calling to you over the past few weeks. Maybe it’s part of a song stuck in your head, or a piece from your favorite poem, or just a moment of silence to listen. You might find yourself outside, under the Moon in a Moon Bathing Ritual (kinda like sunbathing, with none of those harsh UV rays). You may even find yourself near a body of water, or holding your palms around a glass of water from your kitchen sink. Each of these Rituals act as a cleansing of your inner consciousness, a way to reorganize your mind and spirit, making room for a cozy period of rest and revitalization.
A quick update @ reverie
Spring is near! This means warmer weather, wardrobe adjustments, and fresh energy at reverie. This past year of creating a space for myself and my clients has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m so grateful for everyone who has sat in my chair. Your trust and support mean everything. Additionally, with time and experience comes change. Please read below for important updates coming to reverie!

Hair is organic!
Hair is, and always will be organic. It’s not perfect though we always strive for the best possible results! Every head of hair has its own unique type, porosity, and movement, making it nearly impossible to replicate a reference photo exactly. That said, I love seeing your inspiration to help guide us. And as always, Trust the Process!
As a colorist, I have a signature approach to color. It's an art form, and I love creating with you all. You can browse my portfolio on Instagram at Instagram.com/sarah_scissorhandsss to see my work and determine if I’m the right colorist for you. :)

A Personalized Experience
Why I Value the One-on-One Stylist-Client Experience
As traditional salon environments become increasingly challenging to navigate—whether due to unprecedented health concerns or the mental demands of everyday life—I’ve come to deeply appreciate the peaceful escape that a private, one-on-one experience provides. In creating my own space, I've crafted an environment where my clients can unwind in a quiet, clean, and safe atmosphere—free from the noise and distractions of a bustling salon. Here, we can connect and collaborate in a more intimate setting, without competing against the background noise of blow dryers, running stylists, or loud music.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Having worked in both traditional salons and private suites over my ten-year career, I recognize the camaraderie and community that larger salon settings can foster. I’ve built lifelong connections, learned invaluable techniques, and drawn inspiration from the talented stylists around me in those environments. There is, without a doubt, something special about the collaborative energy that exists in shared spaces.
However, for me, a private suite offers distinct advantages that align with my personal and professional values. In this more focused environment, I have the freedom to hone my craft, learn from my own experiences, and push the boundaries of my creativity without external distractions. It’s a place where I can reflect on what truly works for my clients and me—allowing me to grow as an artist in ways I hadn’t anticipated in traditional settings.
My clients appreciate the personalized, undivided attention they receive here. The absence of overstimulation allows us both the space to relax and be fully present—enjoying the process of creating something beautiful together. I take pride in curating every aspect of the studio, from the decor to the music, products, and overall ambiance, to ensure an experience that is not only comfortable but intentionally designed to inspire creativity and relaxation.
This space represents more than just a place to work—it’s a reflection of who I am as a stylist. Every detail is chosen with care, creating a haven for my clients where they feel seen, valued, and at ease. Here, we can collaborate in a way that’s meaningful, unhurried, and authentic—resulting in a truly memorable and unique experience.
Cheers,
Sarah :)

Behind Reverie Hair Studio
2015: the year my journey began. It feels both distant and pivotal now. At the time, I had just graduated from beauty school, started my apprenticeship, and was a 22-year-old with the world at my feet. I was filled with excitement for what lay ahead.
Hair wasn’t always something I imagined myself doing. I used to visit my own stylist, Stephanie, and watch her evolve through different salon spaces, eventually opening her own. I remember thinking, I could do this—you get to listen to music all day! At that time, I was living in Fort Collins, working as a hostess at Carrabba’s Italian Grill. A few of my coworkers were attending Hair Dynamics Education Academy, a small, private beauty school just south of the college town. That’s where my own path took shape.
More on that journey in a later post, but through nearly ten years of highs and lows in the beauty industry, one thing has remained constant—my passion and creativity have never faltered. I’ve always strived to offer an experience that feels organic and deeply human, where every guest in my chair feels truly seen and valued.
Reverie Hair Studio is a space where clients can escape the pace of their busy lives and take a few hours to reconnect with themselves. Whether it’s sipping on a cup of coffee and chatting about life, or simply enjoying the quiet, it’s a time to unwind and be present. We sit above the city, with views that make everything seem a little more relative, a little more serene. And, of course, you’ll leave feeling completely amazing about your hair!
“I always felt that the real rock stars were the ones who could step back from it and see it as art.”
By definition, reverie means "a state of being pleasantly lost in thought, often in a daydream." It’s that feeling of drifting away from the rush of the world and finding a quiet space within yourself—something I hope every client experiences when they step into my studio.
