This journey of hair and beauty, as a team, has provided them incredible insight and a rare opportunity of building a style that allows the influence of two creative perspectives.
"Advanced education has been at the forefront of this process since the very beginning. New services and add on services play a big role in accomplishing a client's goal. We can add extensions to the hair for length or density or to fill in areas and achieve a result that would normally not work for that clients hair type. Sometimes we use keratin to straighten hair or loosen curl. We offer treatments to prep hair or remove undesirable color and we have wonderful tools for treating severely damaged hair. It has taken us a long time to understand the needs of the people that choose us as their hairdressers. We are constantly evaluating and upgrading to meet everyones needs and we love it. We are in an era with new technology that is changing the way we look at hair"
