It’s taken me months to find the words to write this. From the moment I learned of her passing, the shock was overwhelming—and honestly, it still hasn’t fully settled. I know I’m not alone in that feeling. Losing someone so beautiful, so kind, and so full of life at such a young age is beyond comprehension. Every time I walk into the salon, I still feel the echoes of her presence—her warmth, her kindness, her light. She was a shining star in our lives, and her absence has left a space that can never truly be filled. I remember the way she would look at me when I told a bad dad joke—rolling her eyes, maybe, but always laughing. She appreciated the effort, and I appreciated that about her. I remember our long text conversations about her career, her dreams, and the things she was working through. I’d offer little pieces of advice, and it meant so much to see her take them to heart. We shared deep conversations in the break room and on the salon floor—about life, purpose, beliefs. Gabby was a thoughtful soul, and I was always struck by the depth of her insights and the richness of her experiences. We learned from each other, and I always looked forward to those moments with her. Gabby, you are deeply missed. You left an indelible mark on our Xamily, and your spirit will stay with us for years to come. I will always carry the sound of your laughter, the brightness of your smile, and the warmth of your heart with me. Until we meet again—thank you for being you.

As the leaves start to change and the air turns crisp, it's time to update your look and stay on top of the latest trends in hair fashion. Fall is the perfect season to experiment with new hairstyles, colors, and textures. At XanderLyn Salon, we're excited to bring you the hottest 2023 fall hair trends that will have you looking fabulous and feeling confident this autumn. Rich Autumnal Colors When it comes to hair color this fall, think deep, rich, and warm. Shades inspired by nature's autumn palette are all the rage. Consider transitioning from your summer blonde to a darker, warmer hue like chestnut brown, auburn, or even a rich copper. These shades will not only complement the season but also add depth and dimension to your locks. Face-Framing Highlights Face-framing highlights are making a comeback this fall. They're an excellent way to add a touch of brightness and dimension to your hair without going for a full-color change. Whether you opt for subtle caramel highlights or bold, chunky streaks, these face-framing accents will enhance your facial features and add a touch of radiance to your overall look. Natural Texture Embrace your natural hair texture this fall. Effortlessly tousled waves, soft curls, and even naturally straight hair are in. Say goodbye to excessive heat styling and hello to low-maintenance hair that looks effortlessly chic. At XanderLyn Salon, our stylists can help you enhance your natural texture and provide expert guidance on maintaining it. Short and Chic Short hair is making a statement this fall. Whether you're considering a trendy bob, a pixie cut, or a modern shag, shorter hairstyles are all the rage. They're not only easy to manage but also give you a fresh and youthful appearance. Our experienced stylists can work with you to find the perfect short style that suits your face shape and personal style. The Modern French Twist The classic French twist is getting a modern twist this fall. Instead of the traditional sleek and polished look, we're seeing a more relaxed and undone version. Think soft twists, loose tendrils, and a touch of messy elegance. This style is perfect for both casual and formal occasions, making it a versatile choice for the season. Accessorize with Headbands and Scarves Hair accessories are back in a big way this fall. Headbands, scarves, and hairpins are making a strong comeback. They're a simple yet effective way to add flair to your hairstyle and elevate your overall look. At XanderLyn Salon, we have a variety of stylish accessories to choose from to complete your fall look. Conclusion This fall, it's time to refresh your look and embrace the latest trends in hair fashion. From rich autumnal colors to face-framing highlights and natural textures, there are plenty of options to choose from at XanderLyn Salon. Whether you're looking for a dramatic change or a subtle update, our skilled stylists are here to help you achieve the perfect fall hairstyle.
