Owning a small business is political, whether we want it to be or not. When injustice shows up at our doorstep, staying silent isn’t an option. Sunny Bunny is a values-led space — rooted in care, community, and refusing to look away.

As I sit here getting ready for my first day back behind the chair after my most recent flare-up, my head and my heart feel heavy.

I recently told my therapist I can’t push through pain or illness anymore. Her response? “It’s about damn time.” For many of us, fight-or-flight isn’t temporary—it’s a lifelong setting. I once sat in the ER with pain rated eight out of ten and was called “stoic.” That wasn’t strength—it was survival. After decades of pushing through grief, stress, and illness, my body finally said no. Bodies keep the score. This is permission to pause, rest, and give yourself the same grac

When you love an animal, you quietly agree to the hardest part—the goodbye. Casey came into my life when I didn’t know what I was missing, and she filled every corner with gentleness, loyalty, and unconditional love. She stayed through illness, loneliness, and healing, holding on until she knew I would be okay. Losing her has shattered my heart, but loving her changed my life forever.

The holidays can be a strange time. They’re supposed to be the most magical weeks of the year—yet they’re layered with stress, loss, expectations, performative pressure, and the kind of childhood memories that still hit you in the throat decades later.

How modern retail fits perfectly with lived-in color, low-maintenance hair, and the stylist-first movement.

At Sunny Bunny, we’ve reimagined the salon experience—no front desk, no tipping, no hierarchy. Just freedom, trust, and great hair.

At Sunny Bunny, gratuity doesn’t exist—and it’s not “included.” We charge one flat hourly rate so you always know what you’re paying—no guessing, no awkward moments, no pressure. Our gratuity-free model is about transparency, fairness, and respect for both clients and stylists. It’s time to elevate the beauty industry and leave tipping culture in the past.

At Sunny Bunny Salon in Newton, MA, we believe in more than great hair—we believe in values that matter. 🌈 Equal rights for EVERYONE, ✊ racial justice + equity, 💛 bodily autonomy, 🛑 gun control + safer communities, and 🏳️‍⚧️ trans rights are human rights. We’re here to create a safe, inclusive space where stylists and clients alike never have to shrink who they are. If these values resonate with you, welcome—you’ve found your salon.

Most people have never heard of Achalasia —and honestly, I wish I hadn’t either. It’s a rare esophageal disorder that affects about 1 in...

But let me be clear: co-wash is not the "2-in-1 great hair, no fuss" Pert Plus of the ’80s. A true co-wash is a conditioning cleanser—it nourishes and gently cleanses at the same time, helping maintain your hair and scalp’s integrity. It’s multitasking done right.

We don’t double-book at Sunny Bunny—and there’s a reason. Hair has evolved, and so has the experience we believe you deserve. This shift gave us room to breathe, create, and actually enjoy the process. No rushing. No chaos. Just 1:1, present, personalized service. Curious why we made the switch (and never looked back)?

We call it hair therapy, because it’s not just about hair. It’s about being seen, heard, and cared for. It’s about treating each client as a whole person, not just a head of hair. And when your nervous system feels safe and supported? That’s when the magic happens—on the inside and out.

Not Just a Bob. While I was recovering from my POEM, I watched an embarrassing amount of TV. One show stuck with me—not for the drama, but for Jessica Biel’s bob in The Better Sister. And let’s be clear: it wasn’t just a bob. It was the bob. This spring’s now-iconic “**** bob” (you know the one…rhymes with “hunt”), first spotted on Leslie Bibb in White Lotus and then paraded onto the Today Show with Chris McMillan himself. It’s bold. Blunt. A little bitchy in the best way. An

So if you’ve ever wondered, “Why are your prices the way they are?”—the answer is simple: Because we finally started treating this like a real career. And we’re inviting other stylists to do the same.

Lately, I’ve been noticing something…our industry is overly curated. When did being a hairstylist start requiring a new face and body?...

If you told me a month ago that I’d be moving salons, hosting a dreamy grand opening party, and spending unexpected time in the hospital—all while not being able to work for five weeks behind the chair—I probably would’ve laughed… and then cried a little. Let’s just say: the past month has been a lot.
