Tonya has been cutting and coloring my hair for many years. She is first of all a great person, very warm and easy-going and not at all intimidating. I wear my hair short and although I color it I don’t want it to look “dyed”. Tonya is very careful with the cut, which for short hair is essential, and somehow she can think of ways to change the cut so I don’t get bored. She is also an amazing colorist. I have friends in other places that have finally had to let their hair go grey because they didn’t have a colorist who could make it look good as their hair got greyer and greyer. Tonya makes my hair look natural but “interesting” — various ways of foiling and adding additional color which add depth to my otherwise neutral brown hair. I end up referring people to Tonya because people always compliment me on my hair. It’s such a gift to have a stylist/colorist whose skill and taste I trust. I never worry about my hair–it is easy to keep up at home and nearly always looks good, and each time I get it cut and colored its a little refreshing zing in my life. I owe it all to Tonya.

Crazy funny hair stories

I am collecting your hair stories to post on my site. I am looking for your funniest or craziest hair stories to share with my readers. Everyone has at least one special hair story that is worth sharing a good laugh. These will be posted as anonymous stories to keep your reputation intact. The story can be about a crazy stylist you had or some wacky hairstyle you thought would be great but instead was scary and took awhile to grow out. A great haircut your mother gave you as a kid and tried to pass it off as the latest style. I know some of you have perm stories. Let’s hear them. This is my little way to bring some humor back during this time of stress and media freak out.
The story can also be about something you did to yourself such as the time I decided to tint my own lashes. I was too impatient to wait for my co-worker to do it for me when she had time so I decided to just do it before bed one night. I mixed the tint and slapped it on one eye with the other one open to see. As I applied my other eye by feel and hoped I got all the lashes, then without thinking I opened my eyes to make sure. Yes it burned a bit, but I was on a mission. I was on such a rampage to finish; I forgot a few steps, such as covering around my eye with a protective cream. I relaxed on my bed for 10 mins trying to “meditate” while my eyes were burning (because I opened them) through the processing time. I could feel the tears roll down my face but I knew it would be over soon. I finally rinsed them off and what a sight. I did have nice black lashes! Along with black streams stained down my cheeks and raccoon eyes. It took two days to come off even after scrubbing with everything from make-up remover to comet cleaning powder. So not only did I have black eyes, my skin was raw. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to reading all your great stories!

Change Ideas

Why make a change with your look for 2009? Well why not is what I say! There are many new and improved styles to rock this new year. Having a new look with your old style can revitalize you during the cold dark winter months. We all need a “pick me up” during this time of year. The simple change of bangs can make all the difference. Another simple yet striking variation could be eyebrow shaping. For the blondies, why not consider an eyelash tint to brighten those light lashes and make your eyes pop without mascara.
The first cut I want to talk about is the bob. Yes, I said bob. It looks great on almost any face shape and can accent many color schemes. This is a tried and true style that is easy to manage with minimal effort. The bob can be very trendy or simple and classic. There is the Posh inverted style or a clean straight one length bob with bangs. The variation in between is endless. This is a cut that can be tailored for your hair type and face shape.
The “pixie” is back for the New Year also. Again Posh is the trend setter. You may not love her, but she has a great stylist that continues to reinvent her hair. This short hair style can also look great on many face shapes just by customizing it to accentuate your features.
The other option is to keep the style you have but fancy it up with some color. Just a few bright highlights around the face or a few peek a boo copper red panels to pop out of the natural brown. Color can be a fun way to just spruce you up as your natural hair seems darker during these winter months.
Regardless of what you choose to change, the point is just make one. During this time of uncertainty and stress regarding the fate of our country, we need something to brighten our own personal day. Make that happen for yourself. We all need something now!

Tonya has been my hairdresser for several years. To know that I can just show up, ask no questions, and find the perfect haircut on my head is amazing. Tonya takes the time to analyze the way my hair grows as well as listen to any suggestions I may have which may or not be do-able.

A few years back I had pink hair. On Halloween of that year, I decided to be normal so I wore a black wig. At my appointment in early November, I showed up to be greeted by Tonya with the following, ” I was thinking of you and think you might want to go dark. I pulled out a black wig that I had worn on Halloween. Not only did Tonya match color, but style of wig. Not only did I adore the cut and color, but all who met me did too.

I was referred to Tonya awhile ago by someone who knows how critical I tend to be. First off, it takes a special talent to tame my hair because it does have a mind of its own, and grooming has never been my strong point anyway. But when I leave Tonya’s chair I know I’m good to go. I can face the world with one piece of the puzzle taken care of. I’ve been impressed time and again not only with the end result, but also with Tonya’s ability to decode my ugly communication skills and understand the style I’m after. She’s a true artist and a consummate professional.
