Welcome To

Milk + Honey Hair Collective

By: Leslie Duvernay 

Your go-to for seamless color, polished cuts, and elevated beauty.

My approach is simple: hair should blend effortlessly… like milk and honey. No harsh lines, no overdone looks, just soft, natural results that grow out well and feel like you.

​With 17+ years of experience (since 2008), I specialize in:

  • Dimensional color + blonding
  • Precision haircuts + blowouts
  • Smoothing treatments
  • Bridal + event makeup

Every appointment starts with a consultation so we can map out your look, your maintenance, and your long-term plan.

​The goal: results that look better, last longer, and fit your lifestyle.

What Our Guests Say

Guest Reviews

“I came in wanting a soft chocolate and caramel blend and that’s exactly what I got. The dimension is so natural, no harsh lines, just everything melted together perfectly. It honestly looks better than I even pictured.”
​– Dez

“I wanted something similar, soft dimension with grey coverage, and she nailed it. My greys are blended, not just covered, and the color looks so natural. It grows out beautifully which is huge for me.”
​– Rachel

“I went from a solid blonde to a more dimensional, blended blonde and added a precision bob… and I’m obsessed. The cut lays perfectly and the color finally has movement. It feels polished but still natural.”
​– Allison

“I had super stripey color before and wanted a more blended blonde with grey coverage. She completely transformed it. Everything is seamless now. She also helped me with my makeup and routine which was a game changer. I left feeling like a completely different person.”
​– Carrie

FAQ

How long do highlights typically last?

Highlights last about 20–30 shampoos.

If you wash:

  • 2–3x/week → ~8–12 weeks
  • 4–5x/week → ~4–7 weeks

​Longevity depends on placement, tone, and your at-home care.

What’s the difference between a gloss and permanent color?

Think in terms of fade vs grow-out:

  • Gloss: lasts ~15–25 shampoos
  • Permanent color: lasts 30+ shampoos (with visible root growth)

​Gloss fades out. Permanent color grows out.

How long does a gloss last?

A gloss lasts about 15–25 shampoos.

If you wash:

  • 2–3x/week → ~5–8 weeks
  • 4–5x/week → ~3–5 weeks

​This is why toners fade faster if you shampoo often.

Will a keratin treatment straighten my hair?

No. It softens texture and reduces frizz.

Results last 40–60 shampoos.

If you wash:

  • 2–3x/week → ~4–6 months
  • ​4–5x/week → ~2–3 months
What should I avoid after a keratin treatment?
  • Avoid washing for 48–72 hours
  • Use sulfate-free products only
  • Limit chlorine + saltwater exposure

Your results are based on how you treat your hair over the next 40–60 washes.

How often should I get a haircut?

Most clients need a trim every 15–25 shampoos.

  • 2–3x/week → ~6–10 weeks
  • 4–5x/week → ~3–6 weeks

​Heat styling = sooner.

Do your haircuts include a blowout?

Yes. All my haircuts require a blowout.

Why: The hair must be fully finished to refine shape, layering, and movement properly.

Pricing:

  • Haircut + Blowout → $78
  • Signature Haircut + Blowout → $88
  • With Deep Conditioning Treatment → $102–$112

​Most clients fall into the $100+ range for best results.

Ask me about other haircut options. Blowouts are included for most services, but men’s cuts do not require a blowout.

Why do you recommend treatments with haircuts?

Because your result is based on how your hair behaves after you leave.

Adding a treatment:

  • Improves manageability
  • Extends the life of your cut
  • Enhances your blowout finish

​Most clients add a treatment every 15–25 washes.

Do I need a consultation?

Yes for:

  • Blonding
  • Major color changes
  • Corrections

We’ll cover:

  • Hair history (last 1–2 years)
  • Maintenance (how often you wash = your timeline)
  • Budget + long-term plan
How should I prepare for my appointment?

Come with:

  • Inspiration photos
  • Honest hair history
  • Realistic maintenance expectations

​Your results = what we do in the salon + what you do over the next 20–30 shampoos
