I am Long Hair Friendly!

I understand the needs and respect the requests of clients with Long Hair. For many of my long hair clients, I will approach the cut differently.

Sometimes the best way to do a “health trim” is to cut the hair dry. I shampoo, blow dry and flat-iron the hair before cutting. This technique allows both of us to see exactly what needs trimming. I will always work with what the client is comfortable with. I have great product recommendations to preserve the integrity of longer hair.

What is the number one way of maintaining a youthful appearance?

it is HAIR COLOR. But, the proper choice of tone and depth is essential. It is not enough just to cover your gray hair. The color must have the multi-faceted translucent sparkle of nature

What color products do I use?

With over 30 years in the industry I have used many of the major hair color lines. I choose to work with Clairol Professional and Redken Shades EQ because they are the most translucent, and they are a liquid hair color. As a mix master and an artist, liquid color is better for adding a drop of this and a drizzle of that to create and control tone and undertone. It is vital to understand that product is secondary to technique. Any product will yield great results if used properly. As a master colorist, I often use more than one product line to achieve a desired result. Many hairstylists who call themselves “colorists” are simply product company robots. The product manufacturers try to do the thinking for the stylist. These individuals are not colorists, and they don’t give theirs clients what they are paying for.

What is different about your hair coloring technique?

For optimal results, the base hair color should be pre-colored for richness of tone, then multi-toned highlights are added, which sometimes may just be a burst at the top or three-quarters of the head. Hair that has been previously colored requires different formulas applied on roots than on ends. An oxidative hair color is used to cover grey roots, and low or no peroxide refresher is used to sparkle and strengthen the previously chemically treated hair. Usually the mid-strand and ends just need to be refreshed with a gloss. Grey coverage can be achieved with a non-oxidative color. These techniques will ensure that your hair will sparkle with the translucent tones of nature, and as an added bonus, be in better condition than prior to professional hair color treatment.

Will this work for all hair types?

Together we can create a hair color formula and maintenance schedule that works best for you.

Should I bring pictures?

Yes! I always welcome pictures, they are a great tool. This helps me see what you are envisioning, and then we can expand from there. However, pictures are not absolutely necessary.

What about hair color for men?

There are many options for men. Men’s hair color can be tricky. If the hair is very white, I generally don’t recommend total grey coverage. In about two weeks those white side burns show and start to look like Grandpa Munster! I have a signature technique that can add a youthful look to men’s graying and white hair. It warms up the blue tones that exist in grey hair, and lends a look of blonde. This is really low maintenance, too. I have many techniques for grey reduction that can grow out gracefully, depending upon the existing tone.

Client Carla Ponti states:

I have very curly hair that was impossible to straighten with a regular flatiron. I would come home from Linda's salon with a great look that everyone loved, but I could never get my hair that flat at home. Linda recommended the a flatiron, which is specially designed for curly hair like mine. The very first time I used the new iron, I had fantastic results. I now use it every day.
