Hey there! I’m Callie — a hairstylist, beautician, and total hair lover with over 12 years of salon experience under my belt. And I'm the creator of Petal & Pomade!

I’ve always been obsessed with everything hair — from lived-in balayage (my specialty!) to bouncy blowouts, bold color changes, and everyday styles that just work. After years of working behind the chair and chatting with amazing clients about their hair journeys, I realized I wanted to take everything I’ve learned and share it with more of you — outside the salon.

That’s how this blog was born. 💻✨

I’m always on the hunt for amazing haircare products — testing them, comparing them, and giving honest reviews (the kind I’d send to my besties in a group chat). And here’s the thing: I don’t believe you need to spend a fortune to have beautiful, healthy hair. Yes, there are luxe gems worth the splurge — but there are also some incredible drugstore heroes that get the job done just as well. You’ll find plenty of both here.

Besides hair, I’m also big on skincare, love a fresh mani, and spend my downtime caring for my ever-growing plant collection. I also dabble in graphic design — it’s my creative outlet when I’m not writing, testing products, or scrolling through hair inspo on Pinterest.

This blog is for every girlie who loves switching up her look, discovering new favorites, and feeling confident in her own skin (and strands). Whether you’re here for your next haircut idea, a deep dive into the best affordable hair masks, or just some real talk about what works and what’s overhyped — I’ve got you.
