ESTETICA Magazine USA (2/2024)

Tell us about you and your career.
I’ve been doing hair since 1993, and I
could not be more excited to get up and do
it every single day. Revolutions Salon has
been in existence since 1984 and I became
the owner in 2007. Hair is not just my job,
it’s my passion. I love the craft, and the
way a great style can transform the entire
look and feel of someone. But most of all
I love people, and I try to share that love
with my staff and clients. I have an
amazing career surrounded by spectacular
stylists along the way, with my current
staff being top notch!!
Where did you draw your inspiration
for Stargazers?
I was inspired by these stunning women.
When I was brainstorming on what type
of collection I wanted to put together all I
could think about was representing more
mature women. Our clientele ages along
with us and as a stylist it becomes very
apparent that great style along with cool
hair and kickass makeup does not belong
to the young. People come in all ages,
shapes and sizes, andI just couldn’t wait
to put these ladies in front of the camera
to have the 70+ age group represented
and admired!
How did you get such a variety of
bespoken looks?
These looked were achieved first by
using their natural hair color and
embracing grey, silver & whites along
with blending in grown-out one process
color to make that full transition to their
natural hair shades.
Second I used an array of scissors,
shears, razors, and edgers to get each
hair cut looking sharp and/or textured.
Third – the styling: blow dryers, wavers,
curing irons & our favorite Amika styling
products were used, starting with plus
size perfect body mousse, perk up dry
shampoo, on lock high hold wax, fluxus
touchable hair spray and top gloss shine
spray for the finishing touch.

How did you endure the process of
letting your hair color grow out?
“Actually, it was not of my doing. During
pandemic I was unable to get a salon
appointment for about 5 months. By that
Missy found willing models
from among her clientele.
With these great looks their
salon fidelity is guaranteed!
time I realized that I had no line of
demarcation and my natural color was
blending in nicely with what was left
of my platinum-dyed shade. And no,
I don’t miss the process as I love my ‘
age appropriate’ color now.”

What’s your favorite part of having
natural white hair?
“I love my white hair. I never have to
worry about roots showing like when
I had my hair colored. The compliments
I receive everyday are from woman who
are deciding to let their hair grow out.
They ask lots of questions about how
long it took and what the process was.
I just them tell to go for it!”
