The studio

Blonde is a process, not a promise.

Simone Thibodeaux has spent ten years on Magazine Street doing one thing well: taking hair to bone-white without breaking it. Bond builders go in every bowl, and strand tests happen before every big lift.

If your hair needs two visits to get there safely, she'll tell you, and she'll plan the toner for the in-between.

— Simone Thibodeaux, owner & blonding specialist
