Razor Sharp Precision.
One of the most important and frequently overlooked concepts of coloring is the timing element. Colorists are responsible for balancing all of these elements in concert and ensuring the final look is exactly what the client had hoped for. It’s certainly not easy. Some of the best colorists have attended prestigious beauty schools and some have received mentoring from famous colorists such as Alessandro Mangerini of New York City.
Many of the times they receive little or no pay for years, just for the privilege.
Creativity:
Coloring hair is an art, so you’ll want your colorist to approach the work with a sense of passion and freedom. Think of your hair as the canvas and the colorist as the painter—the more creative and inspired the colorist, the better the end result. Amateur colorists sometimes confuse creativity with wild colors that do not fit the individual and in no way enhance their appearance.
Top hair colorists know how to work with your hair to find the absolute best hair color for your individual look. Styles and colors should complement each other. The work should be vibrant and flow smoothly.
Specialization:
Some of the biggest intricacies of coloring, are individual formulations for coarse or damaged hair. These circumstances require a highly trained eye to recognize and formulate a unique solution to the individual, some of which require corrective coloring.
Coloring hair isn’t as simple as slapping on some dye and hoping things work out. A Master Colorist will give their client's fabulous results every time.
