Today has been a great day and Leona (colorist) at Shampoo Ink is someone I would like to specially thank! My regular colorist I have been loyal too wasn't available and I had met Leona who started out helping my regular colorist. When I couldn't get in for an appointment until after the holidays, I inquired if she could connect me to Leona and if she does the same coloring technique? Great news, Leona and I did connect and she does use and can do highlift and lowlights. I am not a fan of bleach and refuse it on my hair. Luckily this product works for me since I have medium brown hair and will lift up the color as if I have highlights in it.
I was thrilled that Leona was able to get me in promptly and was able to accommodate me in to her schedule since I have a family holiday event on Saturday. I couldn't stand these grown out roots and she did a wonderful job with the color. The saloon looks small and was challenging to find initially and appeared to be small from viewing from the outside. However, it was fairly large inside. It was spacious and had a great funky, earthy like vibe to it and reminded me of back home of Los Angeles and or the Hollywood area. I very much enjoyed the clientele that had bold color choices and I don't think I could do it, but wow they look great!
I know that if my colorist isn't available in the future, I know who my backup is without a doubt. Go see Leona! She's adorable and knows what she is doing. Ooooh I almost forgot...this salon offers water, coffee and or beer!! See my pic for proof. FABULOUS! LOVED it here. :)
