The Process
Welcome Packet
Your Reflection Storybook journey begins with a series of questions about your family relations and interview questions to help guide the process. To assist you through the next steps, you will receive a welcome packet containing the first questionnaire and a journal. This journal will help keep all your thoughts in one place as you consider the various memories you'd like to include in your Reflection Storybook.
Interviews
Your memories and stories will be gathered through a questionnaire and an interview process. Before each interview, I will send over a questionnaire that outlines the types of questions I will be asking. These questionnaires help to warm up people’s minds so memories can flow, making recalling stories easier.
Genealogy
The genealogical research will be woven into the fabric of your book, enriching its narrative. Our comprehensive approach delves into three generations of your family history, capturing key milestones such as births, deaths, weddings, divorces, and business ventures. Your family tree will be meticulously updated to reflect the latest discoveries.
Historical Context
Utilizing historical context we will craft your Reflection Storybook, creating a richer narrative. Understanding the historical context behind a work's creation enhances our appreciation and comprehension of the narrative. Context also aids in understanding the motivations behind people's actions during historical events.

FAQS
How often should I get my hair trimmed?
The frequency of hair trims depends on your hair type, texture, and desired style. On average, a trim every 6 to 8 weeks helps maintain healthy ends and prevents split ends from spreading. However, our experienced stylists will assess your hair's condition during your appointment and recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.
What's the difference between highlights and balayage?
Highlights involve lightening specific sections of your hair uniformly, resulting in a consistent pattern of lighter strands. On the other hand, balayage is a technique where color is hand-painted onto the hair, creating a more natural, sun-kissed effect with softer regrowth lines. Balayage offers a low-maintenance look, while highlights can be more defined. Our color experts can guide you in choosing the best option based on your desired outcome and maintenance preferences.
How can I maintain the vibrancy of my hair color?
To preserve the brilliance of your hair color, use sulfate-free and color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Wash your hair with lukewarm water to prevent color fading. Limit exposure to sunlight and chlorinated water, as these can cause color to fade. Deep conditioning treatments and leave-in color protectants can also help maintain color vibrancy between salon visits. Our stylists can recommend specific products and care routines tailored to your hair color and type.
