Our Way Of Doing Color

I was speaking with a client yesterday who told me "When my friends hear that I spend 3 hours at your salon for a ​cut and color they can't believe it! What takes so long?" It's not the first time I have heard that. Good question, right? Well, let me explain:
To begin with, you should be aware of our customer service ethic. At hair design and color studio, we are old school. We believe in total customer satisfaction. We believe in doing things the right way, not the easy way. We believe that you get what you pay for. We believe in investing in top quality products, the best hair color, and education. We stand behind our work because at the end of the day, your crown is our signature and...we like to sleep at night knowing that we have put forth our best effort for you, the client. (Think L.L. Bean and Nordstrom)
Now when you are getting your hair colored at hair design and color studio, you will notice a difference. We use the best, most conditioning hair color and apply it meticulously - using a brush. While applying your hair color, our sections are so fine that you can see through them! It is a pain staking process which takes time. We don't just breeze through your hair with a bottle and throw on some color! Every hair gets saturated to ensure coverage and where applicable, coverage of grey. This and proper color formulation are the keys to our success. 
So when you hear that a hair cut and color take 3 hours at hair design and color studio, and you are used to being in and out of your previous salon in 1.5 hours for the same services, don't be surprised and don't be scared! Remember, we take our time to ensure that everything is done properly, the way WE would want our hair done. Short cuts are not allowed, beautiful, well done hair is! 
We also do not double book our clients. When you are here, it's all about you and your hair. You are not left waiting or being rushed in and out. Your color service is carefully watched, while you relax with a cup of Harney & Sons tea and a snack. Good hair takes time. Sure, we may charge a little more, and, when you see the results of long lasting grey coverage and a hair cut that grows out gracefully and looks great, even after 7 weeks, you know that it is well worth it....YOU are worth it!

Assisting the Legend - Beth Minardi

Last week I had the privilege and honor of spending a day assisting one of the world's greatest hair colorists - Beth Minardi, at her Madison Ave. location in NYC. Beth is one of the foremost experts and educators in hair color. One of her degrees is in chemistry and she has been a colorist since 1978. 
It was a busy and exciting day and I learned much, working along side this color legend. Even though my salon is located in humble Manchester, CT, I felt at home in this posh and bustling salon. It was a day full of hands on assisting, observation, and conversation. It truly was an experience I will treasure always and never forget. Here's to you, Beth Minardi - for being the lady and color genius that you truly are!
