Afterglow Hair Studio in Lafayette, Indiana is a whole vibe. I mean, who doesn’t want to feel lifted up into the clouds upon entering the place you go for self-care. From the incredible cloud mural on the wall to the golden bow coat hangers at each station, every detail was meticulously planned by the owners, Mikaela and Hali. So when they reached out for Afterglow Hair Studio brand photos, I was thrilled to help show off their brand.

Afterglow Hair Studio: “Not Just a Salon–a Whole Vibe”

Afterglow’s tagline on their website is so true. The moment you enter the salon, your heart will feel lighter and happier, just from the decor alone. Add to that the dopamine basket, the occasional visit from Mikaela’s pup, Blue, and the laughter from the stylists, you’ll never feel down while at Afterglow. Their team offers everything from hair and makeup to nails and waxing, so it really is a one-stop-shop for all your beauty needs.

Planning Brand Photos for a Hair Studio

When I met with Mikaela and Hali to plan their session, I didn’t stop smiling for the entire hour. Their personalities are a perfect balance of one another. Sass met sweetness, sarcasm met sincerity, and all were welcome with joy and support. It was easy to design a concept for their hair studio brand photos that displayed the unique things they bring to their partnership while also showing off the dreamy and dopamine-infused vibes of their salon.

My Favorite Part of These Hair Studio Brand Photos

The vibes! We used so much glitter. There was pink everywhere and a disco ball in every corner. And so much laughter. It just made for a really fun day. Mikaela and Hali really knew the vision they wanted for Afterglow’s photos and they made sure to intentionally prep for brand photos to make that vision come to life!

As for me, I’m really sad to say that I only have a few months left in Lafayette. We move this June and I’m already booked solid through March (although I am contemplating adding a couple of mini sessions but that’s TBD for now… All this to say, if you’re wanting your own powerful brand photos, we should chat…sooner rather than later!
