The look book

Gallery

A few snapshots from the salon floor: hand-painted color, careful sectioning, and the quiet moments that happen in the chair before the reveal.

Color in motion

Section by section, foils are placed and lifted so every strand catches the right amount of light and tone.

Color & balayage

Balayage detail

The soft sweep of a brush creates depth without a hard line. That is the difference between color that grows out gracefully and color that demands a rescue.

The chair

Good scissors, good light, and a quiet moment before the transformation begins. This is where the cut takes shape.
