Time to learn a little more about your stylist Sara T.
When I begin with a new client, I like to understand the client's hair
needs. I learn how: they live, they spend their time and much time,
effort and maintenance they would like to apply to their hair. The
initial meeting is like going on a semi-blind date. They're somewhat
familiar with my work when they call me, but it boils down to
chemistry and trust. You become very close to clients during the
process- better make sure you like each other.
I began cutting and coloring hair in 1997 and have enjoyed every
minute of it. I have taught color theory in Oregon since 2003, and
have assistade and advisded in many color correction applications in
salons in Eugene and Salem, Oregon. I continue my education in hair
design and color by taking classes on new techniques and cutting
procedures for the latest styles.
