Building Dreams — The LO DOWN, Vol. 13

Hi friends,

The excitement is so real right now — if you’ve seen me teary-eyed lately, just know it’s because this still feels like a dream. To be walking into 2026 with a growing salon, a full heart, and a vision I’m obsessed with… it’s everything.

This year, I’m focusing on my energy, making space for rest, and carving out the quiet moments that refill me. I’m pouring so much of myself into every part of what’s coming next. What an absolute dream to look to the world around me for inspo — from dreamy spas to curated wine bars, I’m constantly seeing details I want to shape the space we’re building. It’s creative fuel — and I’m having so much fun in this stage.

And if you’ve seen them around, can you even believe how blessed I am to have my family help with so much of the expansion? It has made it even more special.

There’s so much love in every brick (literally), and I’m feeling more grateful than ever for our clients, our crew, and the momentum behind what’s unfolding.

xo,

Lo

The Dream Team

The walls may be coming down, but the vibes have gotten even higher. We’re so thankful for a team that’s rolling with every twist of this build-out — and for you, our clients who keep showing up, cheering us on, and asking what’s coming next.

We feel your excitement, and trust us… it’s going to be worth the wait.

Soul Things

This season, I’ve been enjoying time to myself so that I can show up at my best. This means soaking in every moment of stillness I can get to contrast the wild noise of the salon (which I’m obviously still grateful for). Quiet mornings, intentional walks, gearing up for spring and my signature Arie energy — I’m letting it all guide me.

Some seasons are about expansion… others are about integration. I think this one’s a little of both.
