Healing and Creating
Another fact about me: i struggle with hashimotos and pcos and have learned the hard way about what a stressful and unbalanced life can do to our health.
From my years in the customer service industry, I've learned how many of us struggle with similar things, and i wanted to create a community where we can share and grow from each other's experiences and wisdom. from wellness and self care tips to interviews with special guests, it's your next listen for encouragement and relatability.

Lacey Stephens
Hairstylist
As a hairstylist, I know how unique everyone's hair is. I take my time to listen to your needs and customize my approach to give you a style that is specially tailored to you. You'll never be bored with me as your stylist! I'll make sure you're always feeling excited and refreshed.
Photographer
As a photographer, I get to help you capture the moments you'll want to remember forever! I'm here to freeze stories for you to look back on. Nervous about being in front of a camera? Don't worry-most people are. That's what I'm here for! I'll help you pose, I'll make you laugh, I'll make sure we have lots of fun!
Before we start your appointment, I love to have a thorough consultation! I'll ask you about products you use at home, hair color history, and what your current hair goal is! Bring in any inspiration pictures you may have, and don't worry if you don't know the technical terms! Just tell me what you like and don't like and I'll figure out the rest!
During your hair appointment, we will only use products that will protect your hair's integrity. While I can't wait to get you to your dream hair, we will never compromise your hair's integrity to get there! Just trust the process!
Don't worry-I don't get scissor happy! I'll only take off the amount you ask me to, and I'll let you look and feel as we go! My mindset is we can always keep cutting at it and I don't mind to take off more and more as we go-but you can't put it back on once it's off! So don't ever feel anxious in my chair-I've got you!
I'm easy going and if you ever have any questions or want to make any adjustments along the way, just let me know!
I always include a style at the end of all of my services-so you'll always leave feeling cute and confident!
I'm here to answer any questions you may have after your appointment as well, whether it be about styling, products, or other home care!
Before your shoot, we will discuss all the little details like location, number of people, props, outfits, etc! If you have any questions or need advice for these details, I'm here for you!
Props can add personality and depth to your shoot! Example props include: ultrasound photos or onesies for maternity, products or business card for branding shoots.
Your outfits matter! Not only will the color and style set the tone and vibe of your shoot, it also should be something that makes you fell comfortable and confident.
At the shoot, my goal is for us to have FUN! I. always have a little clip on speaker with me, so if you want music in the background, let's do it! I'll likely beat you to the location and scope out the good lighting and pretty background areas. Then, we have fun! Don't worry if you don't know all the poses, that's my job! I'll help direct you on different poses and even snatch some candid ones while I direct you to just relax and move around!
After the shoot, I'll be in contact as I edit your images, and you will receive a link with. a download pin of all your digital high resolution photos!

Thank you so much Lacey for capturing our vision even better than we could have imagined! We will cherish these memories forever!
"New hair, new me....and it's all thanks to the incredible Lacey Stephens. Since becoming a mom, I've been on a quiet journey of rediscovery. Learning who I am in this beautiful, exhausting, transforming chapter of motherhood. It's the most meaningful title I've ever held, but it's also changed how I see myself. I used to have long hair for most of my life, until the classic mom chop made its lingering debut. It was practical, easy, and one less thing to worry about. But in the process of putting everyone else first, I forgot what it's like to feel like me. These extensions might just be hair to some, but to me, they're a reminder that it's okay to do things for myself. Lacey gave me a piece of that confidence back, and I'll never forget how it felt to look in the mirror and finally recognize myself again. She's not only my best friend, but a true artist when it comes to hair, and I'm endlessly lucky to have someone who sees me, knows me, and brings my hair dreams to life. If you're anywhere near Mesa or Payson...RUN, don't walk, to Lacey. She's magic."
