What Makes Me An Expert Stylist + Why It Matters
Doing hair might seem simple, but my years of education and experience say otherwise. In fact, I’m an expert stylist because of my comprehension of geometry, chemistry, anatomy, epidemiology, and color theory, none of which are simple to understand. By seeing a stylist who doesn’t take these sciences into consideration, you may get lucky, even more than once. If you are unlucky, the best-case scenario is leaving with an ugly haircut that someone else can fix. The worst is leaving without any of your hair left, and tons of chemical burns. I am paid to keep you safe, make judgement calls, inform you, and send you off with hair that is better than when you arrived. To book with me, you must trust me and the process, and follow all my professional advice. This is how I guarantee your hair and ensure the experience is smooth for everyone involved.
My Deal on Detoxing Hair
For those of us blessed enough to take showers powered by indoor plumbing, this fact is true: we have minerals and metal in our hair, simply because pipes erode, and minerals exist in water. I use only filtered water in my salon. I also know that, unless you too have a filter on your shower, you have a rock wall of these deposits, prescription medicines, and elemental pollution surrounding each strand of hair, and it is impenetrable unless removed with professional products. Over time, the buildup will cause breakage and premature shedding, as hair follicles on the scalp become blocked by the rock wall. And when hair color processes on top of these metals, the chemical reaction is unpredictable, resulting in ugly color and fried strands. This is why I won’t color hair without detoxing, and strongly recommend it to all my guests 2-4 times a year, as seasons and weather change. I also require my blonding guests to purchase and use detox treatments in between visits, to manage your rock wall.
