As a color specialist of ten plus years, I used a lot of products I loved, and some I would not sell to my clients, who always appreciated my honestly and commitment to get them the best results possible. Here are my timeless faves. Curated for you 🫶

As a licensed cosmetologist, I’ve tested more products than I can count — and I know what actually works behind the chair and at home. This list is all about affordable hair care that delivers salon-level results without the markup. No fluff, no hype — just real recommendations from a pro who wants you to look great without breaking the bank.

Whether you’re looking for kid-friendly eats, hidden gems, or fun spots to burn off energy, this list has my personal favorites — tried, tested, and toddler-approved. From local coffee shops to hands-on adventures, here’s how to make the most of your day in and around Strongsville.
