A Quick Fix

Last week Ursula came to my upper east side Dramatics location looking for a quick cut. However, after talking for a while, she let me know that she was also in desperate need of someone to help her with her color.  A couple months ago she realized that her hi-lights were making her too blonde and decided to go back to natural so that she could start over. Unfortunately, Ursula's tinted ends had faded alot and had started to develop a slightly green tone to it (hey at least it wasn't brassy). She was under a slight time restraint, so I has to make the color a single process and fortunately for her I knew exactly what to do. 

I wove caramel hi-lights throughout her sides and 

crown and blended her ends with some low-lights. The process was simple and fast and I really just gave her a simple and flattering haircut but the reason I posted these pictures is because it just turned out so beautiful and it only took a little more time than the haircut alone showing that you should never settle for having unsatisfactory haircolor when you could easily have this:

Less Words, More Pictures. Enjoy!

 

Ok I know I'm 

getting too wordy so here are a few pictures of me just doing hair. My "sister" Sasha came to the city with her father to experience the magic of a New York City Christmas. Yesterday she stopped by the salon to get her hair flat ironed. 

Heres the finished product:

Blonde for Christmas

Carmen initially came to me for just a haircut, however during the consultation I asked her about her color and she told me that since she moved to Manhattan from Puerto Rico six months ago she'd been having trouble finding a hairdresser in the city that could get her as blonde as her stylist back home. Frustrated, she had resigned to doing her hair color herself. 

Since she told me that her family was coming into town for the new year there was no way I was going to let her 

leave without the rich buttery blonde that she desired. 

The salon is having a holiday hi-light special so we decided to focus mainly on lightening and evening out her base while adding just a few bright hi-lights throughout. I also added a few low-lights for definition through her ends. 

Her cut is one of my favorites I picked up from Daniele a la Raymond Marc Salon (Walnut Creek, Ca). Its actually just a reverse a-line with graduated long layers and this cut is glamorous and incredibly lightweight for people with a lot of hair while maintaining a lot of movement and length.

She is happy. Heres another pic:

Halloween on 3rd

This is me in my halloween costume. 3rd ave salon theme was the 50's and I can assure you we were the most conservatively dressed salon in the whole company, I mean look at that dress... 

I won't complain though, at least I was comfortable!
