Hammers & Heels For Habitat

07/11/2025

We had so much fun making our rounds to visit the incredible stylists and makeup artists who made Hammers & Heels (back on May 1st!) such a success—and let us just say, these beauty pros DESERVE all the love 💐💕

From flawless fades to perfect curls and everything in between, this crew worked their magic and had people doing double takes all night long! We got to swing by their salons with some well-earned thank you’s, and it reminded us all over again: this event just wouldn’t work without their talent, time, and heart. 🙌🏻✨

To our Stylist squad: THANK YOU!!
You don’t just do hair and make-up, you lift spirits, hype people up, and help them see their own shine. We appreciate you more than words can say. 🩷💪🏻
