Welcome to Live Well Anyway. I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa, and on this podcast, we focus on wellness, beauty, style, planning, and life.

Basically, life is messy, and here we learn to live well anyway. So join me on

this journey as we figure it out together. And just to get us started, I'll go first. And today,

I am so excited to have Ali Smuts here with me. She is a hairstylist and master colorist who works

for Color Guru. Now, you might remember me having on Jeannie Steth from Color

Guru earlier this year. She is the lady who tells you the perfect color palette for your

skin tone. I went through this process with Jeannie. I absolutely loved it because even though I was

fairly certain of what my coloring was, and I was pretty

right, she opened up so many other colors to me that I wouldn't have even considered.

It went so much deeper with knowing like what types of metals work well for you, and are you

muted or bold, or it was just so much more in depth than I ever expected it to be. It's

really helped me with figuring out what I want to wear moving forward, how I've been

changing up my makeup.

It was a super helpful process for me to just feel more confident about the things that I'm

wearing and using.

And Ali also does that with Color Guru.

So you can get a consultation with her to figure out the best hair

color options for you and also the best cuts to really help highlight your facial features

and the shape of your face, which I think is so important because a lot of us just get caught

in the trends and that sort of thing. But she helps you figure out what's going to actually

look good on you.

And it was so fun to have her on this episode today to be able to really dive into that.
