Editor's letter

Every client is the cover story.

Renee Okonkwo spent ten years styling hair for magazine shoots and local television before she opened Crimson Column in a former print shop on Main Street. The old letterpress still sits by the front window.

The idea is simple: give everyday clients the same care a stylist gives a cover model — mapped sections, low heat, pro tools and a finish that photographs from every angle.

Renee's silk press is the best in Arkansas, full stop. Glass-straight, swingy and my curls came back perfectly after.
Danielle O.Signature silk press
I got a headshot style before a TV interview. My producer asked who did my hair before she asked about my segment.
Courtney B.On-camera styling
Lucia's Bombshell is pure 1960s glamour. Still bouncing on Friday.
Allison M.Bombshell
Simone stretched my 4A curls without a hint of heat damage. I didn't know a blowout could feel this healthy.
Kia J.Natural curl blowout
The old printing press in the window, the red chairs, the playlist — it's the coolest salon in SoMa.
