Jason Stanton



Today Jason Stanton arrived at Refuge Salon and bestowed upon us wonderful advice and little jewels of wisdom. He started at the age of ten, styling his mothers hair in Sheffield, England and has continued on ever since. He told us if we can see it, it can be done..... in terms of hairstyling and of our career goals. He's done hair for Chanel, Fendi and worked with many great photographers over the course of his career. He was incredibly humble and very kind and had his tea with milk and sugar. I cried the entire visit, his presence an absolute inspiration and a touching day in general was had by all.

Im a Blond Machine



I love doing blonde's. From platinum to subtle highlights against dark hair, i love it all and I'm confident doing it all in tones and variations! getting to full platinum has been hard on my friend Jill hair and scalp, we've decided that today was the last day for the double bleach and tone process it takes to get her hair on point to platinum. From now on, we'll do finely sliced highlights with low level developer and tone the hell out of the highlights! Her scalp will be so happy:) My friend Paria had gorgeous dark blond hair and a did a wonderful platinum highlight with huge subsections and it was a hit! Everyone from her job dug em! Awesome.

Stuff In My Mind


So, i did a wedding this past week and it was so fun! The ladies all came into Refuge Salon and Emily, Julio and I did the hair for the Bride, Maid of Honor and some family members! I loved it and i got to do a really fun up do on the Maid of Honor! I'm also trying to grow my hair out so its less like a Christmas tree and more like a pretty flow-y curly mane. Lets see what develops on that! I'm also doing a lot of color lately and its going really well ( for men and women ) and i have another wedding coming in October which I'm super excited about!
