Is it wrong to ask your expert friends to solve questions for your clients when really the questions are for you? I’m going to say, “no.”

As a personal stylist for women, I’m all about helping each woman understand how to dress her body in clothes that make her feel like her authentic self. I am not, however, a master at trimming my own bangs. That’s why I asked my very own hairstylist, Lindsay Brabank of Spruce Salon and Spa, to help the Poplin community solve two of the biggest hair challenges in quarantine: 1. How do I cut my own bangs and 2. What do I do about my roots? She has generously offered up advice for both. So, this post has been split into two.

Before we dive into her post, you should know that Lindsay has been the genius behind my hair color and cuts for the past few years. Every product she uses is chemical free and she has a wealth of information, having been a hairstylist for over 17 years. She also gives back to the community generously including hosting a successful fundraiser to help provide food and water to folks crossing the border. In short, she’s amazing and I hope that you find her info helpful AND that you support her as a small businesswoman hit by the pandemic.

Here we go!

Now, it’s all about trimming those bangs! Here’s the most straightforward, helpful video ever.

More From Lindsay on Setting Your Next Appointment and the Importance of Low and Non Toxic Products

Right now, it’s hard to know when to schedule your next appointment. But, if you are concerned about your cut or color, you definitely don’t want to wait. My clients are on a waitlist and we’ll reach out to each one when salon appointments can be scheduled and yes, I’m accepting new clients right now.

I work at Spruce Salon and Spa. It’s a clean air salon, meaning no formaldehyde or ammonia is used on the premises. Everything I use is ppd free, resorcinol free, and have added plant extracts and minerals to infuse the hair with moisture and shine. Products are low or non toxic. The full service salon offers organic facials and low toxic nail services, as well.
