Your Designer Hair Color

Every day I get asked about color. So, I thought I’d try explaining the method to my madness. It is my “passion” and therefore a little bit of madness. Color is all I think about some days! If you where one of my color clients and I saw you on the street, instead of your name, the first thing that would pop into my head, is your color formula.

Many things go into the process of designing hair color just for you!

First of all, I look at your own unique coloring. Virgin Hair color, Skin color and texture, Eye color, colored contacts, even your lip color. How much make-up do you wear, or not. Are you “high maintenance” or “low maintenance?” Meaning how often do you visit a salon to upkeep your look and color.

Then I take into consideration your personal style. Are you casual or more dressy most days. Flashy, Classic, Conservative, Exotic… How old are you? How old do you look. A good color can take 10 years off. How many days a week do you style or change your hair. Are you using products to achieve your look. Do you have a work persona? What is your personal persona? Your day play persona? Your night life persona? Your dating persona? etc…

Then I go into the current season and how that translates to your personal coloring. Spring I tend to start lighting your hair keeping it on the cooler side. Summer months your color would be its lightest and on the warmer side. In Fall I deepening your tresses with warm autumn shades. Winter you will be your darkest and back to your coolest pallet.

Let’s not forget what Styles and colors fashion designers dictate every season and the color pallet that the world wears for the next 3 months. You can walk down any street, look in the windows and you will see what that color is.

Achieving all these outstanding color spectrums I have to attribute to my 58 Permanent shades of “Socolor” by “Matrix“. Great for lifting and lightening your hair. My 58 hughes of “Shades EQ” by “Redken” is my semi-permanent Color that bills itself as “the color that thinks its a conditioner.” It leaves your hair with amazing shine and much healthier looking than when we started. Mixing and matching a total of 116 color shades I achieve endless shades of blonds, reds, brunets and blacks desired. I feel just like my mother who was an artist with her painters pallet.

So in short, you will never get bored with at least 4 different color formulas I would love to design just for you throughout the year. Each and every one of them designed to your own personal coloring, personal style and Fashion colors for the season. My job and my passion is to accent all your best features making what mother nature gave you even better. Outstanding color is what I strive to achieve every single time
