Welcome!

I am so happy to welcome you all to our new website.  I am also very hopeful that you will find our site helpful and inspiring and look forward to personally welcoming you to the salon at your next visit.

I really believe “word of mouth” is the most worthy of recommendations, so with that said I would love to invite all clients, friends, fans and soon to be fab looking new clients to send us your comments and questions.

Meanwhile, here is a little story, my dearest client Lizzie from Boca Raton, this week added to my many remarkable experiences at the salon. Last Friday Lizzie walked through the salon towards me with an agitated look on her face. This was not like her usual cheerful self and I knew something was about to be revealed. I was right, she was moving to Kenya for a year to work for charity. “I will be doing some hands on work” she said “and want my hair to look stylish”. Oh boy! oh boy I thought. Lizzie, visited the salon twice a week for the last 5 years to insure that not a strand of hair was out of place for her demanding career in the media. Although a challenge for someone like Lizzie to undertake managing her tresses, I knew I would be able to give her a style that she would manage and at the same time adore wearing it.  Needless to say, Lizzie took to loving her new style and after one styling lesson left the salon today feeling absolutely delighted with herself.. I have always believed that when we pick a style which works with the texture of our hair, a good cut and color is all one needs to manage a smart look. As Lizzie’s hair is with texture, for that no-fuss style, I took her length to just above the shoulder with lots of layers. She will be able to wear this beautifully just washed and left.  I added some slices of honey and toffee blond to her natural brown color. I used a new technique called “foliage technique”, which will ensure that Lizzie will not have to touch up the root re-growth as the slices of color is applied under the top layers and will peek through her natural color giving her some dimension. The tears of joy I saw on her face next was worth every late night I spent in the salon with her!
