My sweet friend Meagan recently opened this skin studio and I cannot say enough about how awesome it is! Every detail was so Meagan and so perfect! So what makes The Vivienne special is Meagan’s modern, holistic approach to skin health. She blessed me with a custom vivienne facial, which was so refreshing! Then she recommended three products from her incredible collection of clean skin care lines, which I have used every day since and LOVE. She knew just what my skin needed after assessing it during my facial! If you’re in the Oxford area, and looking to love on your skin a little bit, please go see Meagan! Comment VIV and I’ll DM you her website so you can find out More about this beautiful little spot! Until next time, Viv!

It’s time for me to lighten up! 💛✨ I went It’s time for me to lighten up! 💛✨ I went in for my annual blonding balayage at the prettiest new salon in Ridgeland: @salonsaintellis! This salon is an @artsytracy vision, so as you can see, it’s absolutely fabulous and SO well detailed! But we would expect nothing less! 🤩 I looooved my time in this gorgeous space! As you can also hopefully see, I’m loving my lighter hair! ☀️🫶 I love a balayage because it grows out so well, leaving it to where I only get color once per year. I enjoy being darker haired in the colder months, then back to blonde for the warm ones! 😆 If you’re looking for a cool new salon… @salonsaintellis is it!
