Saskia sketched my color before she mixed it. I left with the most beautiful coral I've ever seen and a print of it on the white wall.
Noelle P.Couture vivid, single shade
Two sittings to gallery white, and my hair still feels like silk. Ines doesn't rush and it shows.
Harper K.Gallery white
Teo's cobalt is the deepest blue I've ever worn. It faded to a beautiful denim, never green.
Jamal R.Cobalt & teal
Amara colored my coils pink without a single broken curl. Every curl is perfect.
Adaeze O.Curl sculpting
We commissioned color for an album cover. The white room made it look like a museum piece.
Mira S.Editorial & campaign color
The quietest, most considered salon I've ever been in. Nothing on the walls but light.
Elena W.Rose quartz
Rhys cut my color-block bob so precisely the line still hasn't moved six weeks later.
Yuki T.Color-block bob
