Contact

Hi, it's Colleen. I answer this inbox myself, which is both a promise and a warning — I read everything, but I do it between colour clients, so a little patience goes a long way. If you've got a question, a correction, or an idea for the site, this is the right place to send it.

The fastest way to reach us

Email is genuinely the best option — I don't check social media DMs nearly as often, and things get lost. Send whatever's on your mind to [email protected] and I'll get back to you as soon as I can, usually within a few business days. If a week goes by, feel free to send a nudge; sometimes emails land in a spam folder and neither of us wins.

What kinds of messages are welcome

Honestly, most things. A few examples of what regularly shows up in that inbox:

• Questions about a technique or a look — if a post about a colour formula or a cut left you with a follow-up, ask. I'd rather clarify than have someone leave with the wrong idea.
• Corrections — I get about twenty colour clients a week and write in the gaps, so mistakes happen. If something's outdated, wrong, or just doesn't match current best practice, tell me. This ties directly into our Editorial Policy, and I take it seriously.
• Content suggestions — if there's a topic you keep searching for and can't find covered well anywhere, that's useful information for me.
• Technical issues — broken links, images that won't load, pages behaving strangely on your phone. This is a small, independent site, so these reports genuinely help.
• Collaborations and press — brands, salons, and other stylists reach out fairly often. Please start on our Collaboration page first, since it covers what we do and don't take on before you write the email.

A little about who's reading

If you're curious who's actually behind the site before you write in, the About Us page has the full story — fourteen years behind the chair in Providence, a client book that includes my own over-processed hair, and a whole philosophy built around what a look actually costs to maintain versus what looks good in a single photo. That context tends to answer a good chunk of the questions people send.

Tips for a quicker, better reply

I want to help, and specificity helps me help faster. A few things that make a real difference:

• Include the exact post title or link you're asking about, rather than a general description.
• If it's a colour question, mention your natural base, your hair's current state (virgin, previously coloured, bleached), and what you're hoping to achieve — the same things I'd ask at the chair.
• For corrections, a screenshot or a direct quote of the line in question saves back-and-forth.
• Keep it to one topic per email when you can. Three separate questions in one message sometimes means one gets missed by accident.

A quick health and safety note

Everything on Chic Style Daily — the colour formulas, the cutting techniques, the product mentions — is written from real salon experience, but it's still general information, not a personalized consultation. Hair, skin, and scalps vary a lot from person to person, and what works beautifully on one head can cause irritation or breakage on another. Please patch-test new colour or chemical products, be cautious with at-home bleach and box dye, and check with a licensed professional (or your dermatologist, if anything is unusual) before trying anything on hair that's already compromised, or on skin that's sensitive. For the full picture on how we frame advice like this, our Disclaimer is worth a quick read.

Before you write in

If your message is about how we handle comments, community behavior, or what's appropriate to post on the site, our Community Guidelines may already have your answer. And if it's about data, cookies, or how affiliate links work on the site, those specifics live on our privacy, cookie, and disclosure pages rather than in a one-off email reply — I try to point people there so the answer is consistent and easy to find again later.

Whatever the reason you're reaching out, thank you for taking the time. This site is small, personal, and genuinely read by the person who runs it — that's me, Colleen — and I'd rather hear from you directly than not at all. Write to [email protected], and I'll be in touch.
