🔥 Heat Tools

The right tools make the difference between a blowout that lasts two days and one that lasts all week. These are the ones worth every penny.

💨
Emily's #1 Pick

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer

~$429

The most-asked-about tool in my salon. It dries faster, runs cooler, and causes significantly less heat damage than a standard dryer. Your blowouts will last longer.

"Every client I've recommended this to has texted me saying it changed their hair."

Must Have

GHD Gold Styler Flat Iron

~$249

Predictive technology that senses your hair as you style and adjusts heat accordingly. Gentler on color-treated hair and extensions than most other irons.

"This is what I use in the salon. Worth the splurge over a cheap drugstore flat iron."

Client Favorite

T3 Micro Curling Wand

~$150–$200

Creates soft, lived-in waves that don't look stiff. I recommend the 1.25" barrel for most of my clients — versatile enough for loose curls and beachy waves.

"Way more forgiving on hair that's been lightened. Great heat distribution."

Use Every Time

K18 HeatBounce Heat Protectant

~$22

A heat protectant that also conditions and detangles — no residue, no weight. I spray this on every single client before picking up a blow dryer.

"Please don't skip heat protectant. This one is next level."

For my blonde & balayage clients

✨ Color Care

Protecting your investment between appointments is everything. These products keep your color vibrant and your hair healthy until I see you next.

Emily's #1 Pick

Olaplex No. 3 PLUS Repair Treatment

~$34–$68

The upgraded No. 3 — a 3-minute pre-shampoo treatment that repairs broken bonds. If you've had any chemical service — color, highlights, balayage — this is non-negotiable. Use weekly.

"I offer this in-salon for a reason. The at-home version is just as powerful."

Must Have

Biolage Color Last Shampoo & Conditioner

~$20

A color-safe, paraben-free duo that locks in vibrancy and protects color-treated hair. Great for blondes and brunettes alike — no stripping, no sulfates.

"This keeps your color fresh between appointments without drying out your hair."

Client Favorite

Moroccanoil Treatment

~$46

A lightweight argan oil treatment I recommend for frizz control, shine, and overall hair health. A tiny amount goes a long way — apply to damp or dry hair.

"If your hair feels coarse or dull, this will transform it. Start with one pump."

🧴
After Every Wash

Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother

~$30

A leave-in smoothing cream that eliminates frizz, protects against heat, and strengthens while it styles. Apply from mid-length to ends on damp hair before blowdrying.

"This is my secret weapon for smooth, frizz-free blowouts at home."

For my extension clients

💇‍♀️ Extension Essentials

Extensions are an investment — how you care for them at home determines how long they last. These are the products I put in every extension client's hands.

Extension Approved

Wet Brush Detangler

~$10

The only brush I recommend for extensions. The flexible bristles glide through tangles without putting stress on the bonds or wefts. Use it on wet or dry hair — always start from the ends up.

"This is the #1 thing I send every extension client home with."

Extension Approved

Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo

~$38

Sulfate-free, color-safe, and formulated for damaged or chemically-treated hair. Safe for all extension types. Won't strip color or break down the bonds.

"Sulfate-free is non-negotiable with extensions. This one is top-tier."

Shop on Amazon →
💦
Extension Approved

Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil

~$30

Ultra-lightweight finishing oil that adds shine, reduces flyaways, and protects up to 450°F. Safe for extensions — apply sparingly, avoiding the bonds and root area.

"This gives that perfect polished finish without weighing extensions down."

Extension Approved

Felicia Leatherwood Detangler Brush

~$20

Wide-tooth paddle brush that's incredibly gentle on extensions, curls, and natural textures. Great for detangling in the shower while conditioner is in.

"For my clients with thicker hair or texture — this one's a game changer."

Protect your hair 24/7

🌙 Lifestyle & Accessories

What you do between washes matters just as much as what products you use. These are the simple swaps that protect your color and extensions around the clock.

Emily's #1 Pick

Boll & Branch Organic Cotton Pillowcase

~$50–$80

Ultra-soft organic cotton that's gentle on hair and skin. Reduces friction and frizz overnight — your blowout will last noticeably longer than sleeping on rough terrycloth.

"Swap your pillowcase and your blowout will actually survive overnight."

Shop on Amazon →
🪄
Must Have

Kitsch Microfiber Hair Towel

~$15

Regular terrycloth towels rough up the hair cuticle and cause breakage. Microfiber wraps absorb water gently without friction — especially important for color-treated hair.

"If you're not using a microfiber towel you're adding frizz before you even start styling."

Shop on Amazon →

Client Favorite

Kitsch Large Claw Clips (Set)

~$12

Tight hair ties cause breakage — especially on extensions. Claw clips hold hair loosely without tension. I have sets of these in the salon for a reason.

"Put your hair up in a clip instead of a rubber band and you'll notice less breakage."

Shop on Amazon →
🌿
Scalp Health

Briogeo Scalp Revival Scrub

~$42

A charcoal-based scalp scrub that removes buildup without stripping moisture. Healthy hair starts at the scalp. Use once a week before shampooing for best results.

"Product buildup on the scalp is so common — this resets everything."
