HONEST Review of Innersense Organic Beauty by a Hair Stylist

by Alice Christine

Hiiii and welcome back to G&L Beauty! I’m so excited to be writing today because I’m finally going to share my honest review of Innersense Organic Beauty. If you don’t already know, Innersense is a professional hair-care line of clean ingredient products created by two hair-stylists. Greg and Joanne Starkman founded Innersense Organic Beauty after they discovered a need in the market partially due to raising a child with William’s Syndrome. Can Professional Hair Care Products Even Be Clean? As a licensed cosmetologist, I’ve generally held the belief that if a product has natural ingredients, it probably wont perform to […]

The Biggest Beauty Trend of 2025

by Alice Christine

As a beauty professional, I do my best to stay up-to-date with the current beauty trends. Whether it be ‘old money blonde’, brow laminations, lash extensions, baby-botox, or almond shape nails! While I like to be aware of the current trends, on a personal level, I tend to go for what I like/what flatters me most. This is partially why I am predicting the biggest beauty trend of 2025 to be NATURAL beauty. Bringing It Back To Natural Two years ago, I had the realization after being blonde for over six years, that it was time to go back to […]

Summer Hair Challenge and Mermaid Braids

by Alice Christine

Summer is here! Can you believe that? I for one, am particularly amped up for this summer. So many opportunities for summer hair and makeup looks. This morning I was reading a post by Amber Fillerup on her blog Barefoot Blonde about a hair challenge she is doing this summer. This girl is HAIR GOALS. I’m pretty sure watching her youtube videos and seeing her posts on Instagram were the original inspiration for me to go blonde again. She is the queen of braids and personally I think braids are much more noticeable on highlighted hair. Okay, back to the […]
