Marian's additions

I asked Marian to come back into the salon to make a few adjustments to the color I gave her last Saturday. She was in tonight and I added more of the Violetto Rosso. I also went back over the old color that was still showing through. This made the VR highlights pop out even more. We topped everything off with a Sangria Gloss, which gave the hair a great shine. I was happier with the results, which I am sure Marian was as well. That's the way we work at the little salon, if we, as stylists are not completely satisfied with the results, we will have the client come back into the salon ASAP, to adjust what is needed. And the same goes for the client not being completely satisfied, we will set a return date as soon as convenient for the her (or him). We truly strive for perfection.

Lauren is back

Lauren was back for another new look. This time she brought in pictures, which is always a good way to communicate what you would like to have done. The best part of the picture montage that she put together was that some of the pics had been taken from our blog. Lauren really wanted some very blonde panels, like Mitra's. After I cut Lauren, she went to Brian for color. Brian and Lauren together chose a Papaya color for the dramatic pieces coming from the crown, which fall over a very dark and very short fringe. There is also a dark panel that runs from the front fringe to the back which can be seen on the side view picture.

Sisters

These two cuties are Brian's neices. One with curly hair and one with straight. The cut on both girls is very much the same, which works with either curls or straight hair.

Graziella

Graziella came to Brian with fairly long hair and wanted something new and fresh. This cut is very creative in that the long layers are cut to form an inverted "V", which shows slightly in the side few picture. When the hair moves the angles of the cut show nicely. The shorter cut gives the hair more bounce and looks very healthy.

Marian

Marian is a new client at the little salon. When she came to us she wanted something new. I used a Tocco Magico mahogany that was about 2 shades darker than the color she came in with. I added Violetto Rosso panels to the longer side of the fringe. The cut is a work in progress.....we are going for a look with longer layers and a few more dramatic long pieces in the mix. This is a youthful look for a very attractive woman. Keep checking in to see how Marian's style progresses.

A Glass of Wine and a Great Cut

What could be better at the end of the day. Carolyn looks very relaxed as she should be. Brian is giving her a great cut and she enjoys a glass of wine to top it off.

VERY DRAMATIC Mitra's Transformation

Mitra tried his hand at coloring his own hair, which didn't turn out exactly as he expected. Not a good idea, even for an artist. Brian not only gave Mitra a much more interesting color, but also a great cut perfect for Mitra's style. I really like the steel gloss that Brian used to color the blonde and the black tips give the front a more dramatic look.

Shawna Before and After

A desperate call from Shawana to repair her self inflicted hair cut. Brian took the call for help and turned a distraught young woman into a very happy client. She did have a smile for us in the "before" picture, but the "after" smile was much more at ease.

Linda from Curly to Silky Straight

Linda's hair is actually very curly. She dosen't have it chemically straightened, we just work real hard at getting it straight when she's in the salon. We put a gloss on Linda's hair to seal in the color and give it extra shine. The gloss also helps with to control the "frizzies". After her hair is blown dry and flatironed it will stay straight until she shampoos again. Looks pretty silky straight right now!

"Coming to the little salon is Not Just a Hair Cut"

If I may quote Barb this was what she said after her last cut and color. She finally got tired of me snapping a gazillion pictures, as you can see. I was taking so many because the setting was incorrect and her color was coming out as yellow as the slicker she was wearing.
