Consider this your standing invitation.
Magnolia House is a hair and nail parlor on Jones Street: balayage that grows out soft, cuts with real shape, and gel manicures that outlast a Tybee weekend.
In this issue: the lookbook, the salon menu, and one very good color story

Two summers of box dye, undone in one long afternoon
Carolina teaches third grade out on Isle of Hope, and for two humid summers she colored her own hair in a bathroom with one window. Level 4 brown, every six weeks, straight from the box. By the time she sat in my chair it had stacked into bands: darkest at the ears, dustiest at the ends, flat everywhere.
We did not bleach it that day. We did a strand test, talked through the grow-out, and booked the long appointment for the following Tuesday. One afternoon: a gentle color remover, balayage painted by hand through the mid-lengths, a warm gloss, and two inches off the bottom. Slow work, kind to the hair, finished before school pickup.
“I cried in the chair. The good kind of crying. Then I drove straight to my sister’s to show it off.”
