the scariest things we’ve seen behind the chair: a halloween letter from ivory house salon
Happy Halloween from all of us at Ivory House Salon.
In honor of spooky season, we thought we’d share the things that actually terrify hairstylists.
And no, we’re not talking about ghosts.
We’re talking about the truly horrifying things we’ve witnessed behind the chair.
The words, “I cut my own bangs.”
A box of at-home hair color sitting in your bathroom cabinet.
The sentence, “I used box dye, but it was only one time.”
Finding out your “trim” actually means six inches.
A Pinterest photo of bright blonde hair followed by, “I only want to come in twice a year.”
The realization that Thanksgiving is next month and your hair appointment isn’t booked.
Finding a random pair of scissors in your bathroom drawer.
Bangs cut with kitchen scissors.
Using a 450-degree flat iron with absolutely no heat protectant.
And perhaps the most terrifying phrase of all:
“Surprise me.”
The truth is, Halloween in the salon is one of our favorite times of the year.
The weather finally cools down.
Everyone starts thinking about richer hair colors, fresh cuts, and cozy fall vibes.
The salon fills with conversations about Halloween costumes, trick-or-treat plans, football games, and all the excitement that comes with the start of the holiday season.
And while we’re all for spooky season, we’d like to offer one final warning.
Please don’t let your next hair transformation become this year’s Halloween horror story.
Leave the scissors alone.
Step away from the box dye.
And if you’re considering cutting your own bangs, this is your sign.
Don’t.
Happy Halloween from your friends at Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs.
Stay spooky. And please keep the kitchen scissors in the kitchen. 🎃
what your pinterest board tells your hairstylist before you even sit down
Your inspiration photos are basically a personality test.
The girl saving bright California blondes?
She’s probably going to tell us she wants something low maintenance.
The girl pinning lived-in brunettes?
She’s secretly considering going lighter.
The girl with thirty-seven photos of curtain bangs?
She’s getting bangs.
Probably today.
One of the most important parts of any hair consultation is understanding what you’re actually drawn to.
Because the goal isn’t copying someone else’s hair.
The goal is creating hair that fits your lifestyle, maintenance routine, skin tone, and personal style.
So keep bringing the Pinterest screenshots.
We actually love them.
why your hair appointment in dripping springs isn’t really about your hair
People think they book a hair appointment for blonde highlights, grey coverage, a haircut, or a balayage service.
And technically, that’s true.
But after 11 years behind the chair, I can tell you that’s rarely the real reason.
Women sit down and tell us about new jobs, new relationships, babies, moves, stress, business ideas, family problems, and everything in between.
Your hair appointment becomes one of the only times during the month when nobody needs anything from you.
You get two or three hours to sit, drink a coffee, scroll your phone, laugh, decompress, and leave feeling a little more like yourself.
The hair is important.
But the feeling you leave with?
That’s what keeps people coming back.
If you’re looking for a hair salon in Dripping Springs, we hope you find more than great hair.
We hope you find your people.

the great debate: should you wash your hair before your appointment?
This might be one of the most frequently asked questions in the salon.
The answer?
Probably not.
But don’t show up after three days at the gym either.
There’s a happy middle ground.
if ivory house was a haunted salon…
Every salon has its own personalities.
Its own routines.
Its own inside jokes.
Which got us thinking.
What if Ivory House became a haunted salon for Halloween?
The front desk ghost would definitely spend all day hiding pens and disappearing appointment books.
One stylist would be caught dancing in the back when she was supposed to be cleaning.
Someone would accidentally start filming a reel in the middle of a haunting.
The boutique would somehow convince all of us that we absolutely needed another sweater.
The coffee machine would mysteriously stop working during the busiest day of the week.
And every stylist would suddenly develop supernatural hearing anytime someone whispered the words, “Do you have any last-minute appointments available before the holidays?”
The real jump scares?
A client saying, “I colored it myself.”
Finding out someone used a box dye three days before their appointment.
The phrase, “I just need a quick bleach touch-up.”
And hearing, “I found this picture on Pinterest. Can we do this in one appointment?”
Honestly, though, our favorite part of Halloween isn’t the candy or the decorations.
It’s the excuse to have a little more fun.
Because behind every haircut, color service, blonde transformation, and consultation, we’re also spending our days laughing, telling stories, and building friendships.
And that’s what makes a salon feel less like a business and more like a second home.
From all of us at Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, we hope your Halloween is filled with more treats than tricks.
And if you’re thinking about cutting your own bangs this weekend?
We’ll keep a chair open for you. 🎃

an open letter to the clients who say, “do whatever you think”
First of all, thank you.
Second of all, absolutely not.
We appreciate the trust more than you know, but we still have questions.
How do you style your hair?
How often do you want to come into the salon?
Do you own a round brush?
Have you been secretly using box dye?
There are very few things more terrifying than hearing, “I don’t know. Just do whatever.”
Trust us. We still need a little direction.

Bry is one of them.
From her personal style to the hair she creates behind the chair, everything about her feels relaxed, modern, and completely authentic.

There’s no pressure to keep up with every trend.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
Instead, she focuses on creating hair that complements your lifestyle and makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
Outside of the salon, you’ll probably find her with an iced latte or a Diet Coke in hand, spending time with her dog, listening to Ella Langley, or finding any excuse to spend a day at the lake.

She’s talented, genuine, easygoing, and exactly the kind of person you want to spend a few hours with during a salon appointment.

keep blonde hair brigt with davines “heart of glass”
Whether you’re naturally blonde, highlighted, or fully blonde, you know that maintaining your color between appointments can be just as important as the appointment itself.
Blonde hair is beautiful, but it also needs a little extra care. Sun exposure, heat styling, hard water, and everyday wear can leave blonde hair looking dull, dry, or brassy over time.
That’s exactly why we love the Davines Heart of Glass collection at Ivory House Salon.
Unlike many purple shampoos that can leave your hair feeling dry, Heart of Glass was created to gently neutralize unwanted warm tones while helping keep your hair healthy, soft, and shiny. Instead of choosing between bright blonde hair and healthy blonde hair, you can have both.
One of our favorite things about this collection is that it isn’t just for icy blondes. It’s great for highlighted hair, balayage, grey blending, platinum blondes, and anyone who wants to keep their blonde looking fresh between salon visits.
The Heart of Glass line includes a shampoo, conditioner, treatment, and leave in products that work together to strengthen blonde hair while enhancing its brightness. Blonde hair is often more delicate because of the lightening process, so products that focus on both tone and hair health can make a noticeable difference.
At Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, we always remind our blonde clients that shampoo alone isn’t enough. The products you use after washing, how often you heat style, and how you protect your hair from the Texas sun all play a role in how your blonde looks weeks after your appointment.
If you’ve ever felt like your blonde turns warm too quickly or your highlights lose their brightness, it may not be your colorist. Sometimes it’s simply time to update your at home hair care routine.
Our team loves helping clients find products that fit their hair goals without overcomplicating things. If you’re wondering whether the Davines Heart of Glass collection is right for you, ask your stylist at your next visit. We’ll recommend the products that make the most sense for your hair, your lifestyle, and how often you like to come into the salon.
Healthy blonde hair doesn’t happen by accident. With the right professional hair care and a consistent routine, you can enjoy brighter, softer, and stronger hair long after you leave the salon.
If you’re looking for the best products for blonde hair or professional hair care in Dripping Springs, Texas, we’d love to help you build a routine that keeps your blonde looking its best every day.
MEET THE TEAM: TIANNA
Every salon has that one person who somehow makes everything feel easy.
At Ivory House, that’s Tianna.
She’s the kind of stylist who instantly makes people feel comfortable, whether it’s your very first appointment or you’ve been sitting in her chair for years.
Her approach is simple.
Listen first. Create second.
She believes great hair starts with understanding the person sitting in front of her. Your lifestyle, your maintenance routine, your schedule, and your goals all matter.
Outside of the salon, Tianna spends most of her time with her husband and two boys. Family is at the center of everything she does, and that caring, family-oriented mindset naturally carries over into her work behind the chair.
Of course, we can’t write a blog about Tianna without mentioning Dr Pepper.
At this point, it’s less of a beverage preference and more of a personality trait.
Clients love her because she’s approachable, genuine, and easy to talk to. There’s no intimidation, no rushing, and no pressure.
Just beautiful hair and a stylist who genuinely wants you to enjoy your time in the chair.
TIANNA’S FAVORITES
Known for: Beautiful hair and an incredibly welcoming personality.
Salon superpower: Making every client feel completely at ease.
Favorite part of the job: Building relationships with the people in her chair.
Fun fact: If Dr Pepper ever starts looking for a spokesperson, we already have a nomination.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT SERVICES DOES TIANNA OFFER?

WHY YOUR CURLS DON’T LAST AND HOW TO MAKE THEM LAST LONGER
One of the questions we hear all the time at Ivory House Salon is, “How do you get curls to last all day?”
The answer usually surprises people.
It’s almost never the curling iron.
Long lasting curls start before you ever wrap a section of hair around the barrel. They’re created by preparation, technique, and the right products working together.
One of the biggest mistakes we see is curling freshly washed, silky smooth hair without any foundation. Clean hair isn’t a bad thing, but hair that’s too soft often struggles to hold a style. That’s why we always build a little texture into the hair before we start curling.
One of our favorite products for this is Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer. We spray it at the roots to create lift and throughout the ends to give the hair a little grip. It helps curls hold their shape longer while creating that effortless, lived in finish everyone loves.
Another mistake is grabbing sections that are too big. While it might save a few minutes, larger sections don’t heat evenly, which means the curl usually falls much faster. Smaller, consistent sections create a stronger, longer lasting curl.
Here’s another tip we swear by behind the chair…
Don’t touch your curls right away.
As tempting as it is to run your fingers through them immediately, hair needs time to cool. We often let curls sit while we finish the rest of the style because cooling is what allows the hair to lock into its new shape.
If we’re looking for even more volume, we’ll set sections in velcro rollers while they cool. It’s a simple technique that creates beautiful lift and helps your style last even longer.
The final step is making sure all of that work stays in place. We finish with Davines This Is A Strong Hairspray, which gives long lasting hold without leaving the hair stiff or crunchy. Your curls still move naturally, but they’re much more likely to make it through the day.
At Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, Texas, we always remind our clients that styling isn’t about finding one magic tool. It’s about using the right combination of techniques, products, and professional hair care to help your style last.
If your curls always seem to fall before lunch, don’t assume your hair just won’t hold a curl. Sometimes all it takes is a few small changes to your routine.
The next time you’re in the salon, ask your stylist to walk you through how they create long lasting curls. We’d be happy to share our favorite techniques, recommend the right Davines styling products for your hair, and help you feel more confident styling your hair at home.
Because when you know the “why” behind the technique, recreating it becomes so much easier.
the secret to effortless volume? meet davines “this is a dry texturizer”
Have you ever noticed how your hair looks full and effortless when you leave the salon, but falls flat once you get home?
One of our favorite tricks isn’t teasing your hair or using a ton of hairspray. It’s using the right styling product.
At Ivory House Salon, one product we reach for all the time is Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer. It’s become a staple for creating lived in volume, soft texture, and hair that actually holds its style without feeling stiff or sticky.
If you’ve never used a texturizing spray before, think of it as the product that gives your hair a little extra grip. That grip helps curls last longer, adds fullness to fine hair, and creates that effortless, undone look so many people love.
One of the reasons we love this product is because it doesn’t leave your hair crunchy. Instead, it gives your hair movement while adding body and separation. Your hair still feels touchable, just with a little more life.
This product is perfect if you have fine or medium hair that tends to fall flat after styling. It’s also a favorite for anyone with freshly washed hair that feels a little too soft to hold curls or volume.
To use it, style your hair first, then lightly spray it through the mid lengths and ends. Use your fingers to gently tousle your hair, and you’ll instantly see more texture and fullness. A little goes a long way, so start with less and build if you need more.
One of the questions we get asked most is, “Do I need this if I already use hairspray?” The answer is yes, because they do two completely different jobs. Hairspray is designed to hold your style in place. A texturizer is designed to create volume, movement, and that effortless finish that makes hair look a little less “done.”
At Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, Texas, we love helping clients find products that fit their lifestyle instead of giving them a shelf full of things they’ll never use. If your goal is fuller hair, longer lasting curls, or easy everyday styling, this is one of the first products we’d recommend.
Sometimes the biggest difference in your hair routine isn’t learning a new technique. It’s finding the right product to do the work for you.
The next time you’re in the salon, ask your stylist to show you how we use Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer behind the chair. We think you’ll quickly see why it’s one of our team’s favorites.
WHY YOUR HAIR COLOR FADES FASTER IN TEXAS
Have you ever left the salon obsessed with your hair color, only to feel like it lost its shine or richness a few weeks later? You’re definitely not imagining it.
Living in Texas is amazing, but our hair has to work a little harder here. Between the sun, the heat, hard water, and more frequent washing during the summer, hair color naturally fades faster than many people expect.
One of the biggest culprits is hard water. Minerals found in the water can build up on the hair over time, making color look dull and leaving your hair feeling dry. If you’ve noticed your blonde looking brassy or your brunette losing its richness, hard water could be part of the reason.
Heat styling also plays a role. Whether you’re using a blow dryer, curling iron, or flat iron, protecting your hair before applying heat helps preserve both the health of your hair and the life of your color. Healthy hair simply holds color better.
At Ivory House Salon, we love helping clients build a simple routine that keeps their hair looking fresh between appointments. That usually starts with using professional hair care that’s designed to protect your investment. We love Davines because it focuses on healthy hair while delivering beautiful results, and Reverie offers clean, performance driven products that support healthy styling every day.
The good news is that you don’t need a complicated routine. A color safe shampoo, a nourishing conditioner, heat protection, and a few healthy habits can make a huge difference in how long your hair color lasts.
Your hair is with you every single day. Taking care of it at home is one of the best ways to keep it looking just as beautiful as the day you walked out of the salon.
If you ever have questions about your hair care routine, ask us at your next appointment. We’re always happy to recommend products and techniques that fit your lifestyle and your hair goals.
If you’re searching for tips on maintaining healthy hair, protecting your hair color, or learning more about professional hair care in Dripping Springs, Texas, we hope this helps you love your hair a little longer.

WHY WE CHOSE DAVINES & REVERIE
One of the questions we hear most often is, “Why do you carry these products instead of everything else?”
The answer is actually pretty simple.
We never wanted the shelves at Ivory House Salon to feel overwhelming. There are thousands of hair products available today, and not all of them deserve a place in your routine.
Every product we recommend is something our team genuinely believes in and uses behind the chair.
Davines has been a favorite because it combines beautiful performance with thoughtful ingredients. Whether you’re looking for more moisture, volume, shine, or protection for color treated hair, there’s a solution that’s designed to support healthy hair without overcomplicating your routine.
Reverie caught our attention for a different reason. Their philosophy centers around clean, high quality ingredients that feel luxurious while still delivering professional results. The products are lightweight, versatile, and designed to enhance your natural hair instead of fighting against it.
Our goal has never been to sell products. It’s to help you understand which ones actually make a difference for your hair.
Sometimes that means recommending just one product instead of five. Sometimes it means teaching you how to use what you already have a little differently.
We believe healthy hair starts with education. When you understand what your hair needs and why, taking care of it becomes much easier.
At Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, Texas, we love helping our clients create realistic routines they can stick with at home. Beautiful hair isn’t about having the most products. It’s about having the right ones.
The next time you’re in the salon, ask us what’s on our own bathroom counters. Chances are, you’ll find plenty of Davines and Reverie products that have become everyday favorites for our team.
MORE THAN JUST A HAIR APPOINTMENT…
There are a lot of places you can go to get your hair done.
What we hope you feel when you walk into Ivory House Salon is that you’re walking into a place where you can truly relax.
From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel welcome. Grab a coffee, enjoy a drink, settle into the chair, and know that this time is yours.
Behind every appointment is a conversation. We want to know what’s working for your hair, what you’re struggling with, how much time you like to spend styling, and what you want your hair to feel like weeks from now, not just today.
That’s why every service is personalized. We believe great hair isn’t about following every trend. It’s about creating a look that fits your lifestyle, your maintenance preferences, and your goals.
Jenna built Ivory House Salon with the idea that both clients and stylists deserve a space where people genuinely care about one another. That mindset has shaped everything from the products we carry to the way our team continues learning together.
Education is something we value deeply. Our stylists are always investing in classes, new techniques, and product knowledge because the beauty industry is constantly evolving. The more we learn, the better experience we can create for every guest who sits in our chair.
We’re proud to be part of the Dripping Springs community and grateful for every client who chooses to spend their time with us. Whether you’ve been visiting us for years or just found us, thank you for trusting us with your hair.
At the end of the day, beautiful hair matters. But so does how you feel while you’re here. Our hope is that every visit to Ivory House Salon leaves you feeling a little more confident than when you walked in.
We’re honored to be part of your routine, your milestones, and the little moments in between.
