I have a new bounce in my step, and that’s because there’s a new bounce to my hair!

The boutique hair salon Fox & Jane has long been known for its expertise in hair styling and color, especially hand-painted Balayage highlights. It recently opened its fifth salon on the Upper West Side, and invited me in for a service.

I hadn’t cut my hair in forever (I’m not even going to tell you when, it’s embarrassing!) so I made an appointment with Ritchie and began Pinterest-ing new styles.

The salon is gorgeous and cozy, and has a perfect “high-end but relaxed” vibe. Yes, that’s a thing! Considering HGTV celebrity designer Bobby Berk created the space, I expected nothing less!

Notice the hamburger on the wall? After staring at it throughout my haircut, you’ll never guess what I had for dinner!

Since I moved here, I have had the hardest time finding a hairstylist that I love. That is until Ritchie came into my life! He is absolutely amazing!

I showed him some pictures and we discussed what I wanted (more layers and bangs). We talked for a bit about my styling habits and what I was looking for in a haircut, and eliminated what wouldn’t work with my lifestyle (bangs!). I appreciated Ritchie’s honesty, and how he took the time to work with me to find a hairstyle that I would love, but also wouldn’t take forever in the morning (because nobody has time for that!).

The before picture:

Look at how long my hair was!

I returned from the shampoo chair to a fun surprise:

I know, I know, hair appointments can be so difficult sometimes!

Ta-da! The finished look:

I love the new layers, and how much movement it adds to my hair. I don’t even need a Beyoncé wind machine to look good!

Thank you so much Ritchie and Fox & Jane!

I highly recommend checking out Fox & Jane’s new UWS salon, and booking an appointment with Ritchie or any of its other fabulous stylists.

You can book online here, or call 646.478.7948. Fox & Jane’s other locations are listed here.

If you get Balayage highlights let me know, I’m planning on trying them next time I visit!
