“Hair has always been my passion.” The daughter of a local painter and sculptor, Connie discovered her love of color and art at a young age. She found it only natural to apply her talents to the art of hair color and design.
“I always strive to take my clients image to the next
level. Women shouldn’t settle for the ordinary when it comes to their
hair. Hair should be absolutely beautiful and make a statement about your
character. I have a vision when I look at a head of hair. I am able to see,
artistically, what it needs to be transformed from average to extraordinary”.
Whether it"s crisp clean cuts or contemporary color applications,
you will see why Connie’s creative color and design abilities are sought
after by the most discriminating clients.
A great artist “sees” their finished work before they begin. A great colorist understands haircolor as an art and has the ability to make it happen. Vision enables you to take your work to the next level.
All great colorists possess PASSION. You can hear it in their voices and see it in their work. It is a gift which cannot be learned or bought. Doing great haircolor is a “feeling” and it will radiate from the colorist in the enthusiasm they bring to all their clients .
LISTENING
SKILLS...
We
recognize that our clients rely on our help and guidance as professionals
when it comes to creating the perfect haircolor. We need to be able to listen
to their ideas and respect their desires. This partnership of ideas
and style is what we translate into art. A great colorist will interpret
a clients “vision” to create their best look.
You can’t be a leader by following everyone else. Our unique creativity gives each client their individual look. Great colorists don’t rely on trends,they create excellence. Style is the “signature” that defines and reflects who we are as artists. Our work expresses our abilities as colorists and the range of ideas we can offer our clients.
A master artist knows when to put their brush down and walk away from their canvas. Properly advising clients as to the services they should or should not receive is essential. Saying “no” to certain color ideas may be the most professional thing a great colorist can do for their clients.
