I'm a hair color specialist in Syracuse, NY

Updated: May 15, 2023

Welcome to my blog!


Welcome to my new blog, where I share my thoughts and experiences as a hair color specialist with a focus on low-maintenance gray coverage and natural looking dimension. If you're tired of spending countless hours getting hundreds of foils or root touch-ups, you're in the right place!

As a hair color specialist, I've seen it all - from people who want to go from jet black to platinum blonde in one sitting, to those who want a subtle change to their natural color. But my true passion lies in helping those with gray hair or busy schedules embrace their natural beauty without sacrificing style and those with busy lives who want to get their hair done every 3-4 months and look great every minute in between.

Sometimes you just want a little color boost to make you feel like your vibrant self again. Sometimes you aren't in love with your gray but you also don't want to be in the salon every 3-4 weeks for coverage. That's where I come in - I specialize in creating low-maintenance looks that enhance your natural gray or give your natural color a little boost without requiring constant upkeep.

It's important to me that you enjoy your experience and that you feel heard. I love to create beautiful, believable results with a maintenance routine that fits your life and schedule so you can get back to doing more things you love!


Follow my blog for tips, tricks, and a little bit of humor along the way. And if you have any questions or topics you'd like me to cover, don't hesitate to reach out.


Thank you for joining me on this journey as a hair color specialist and low-maintenance gray coverage guru. Let's have some fun and embrace our natural beauty together!
