I am definitely not a wild child with my hair. I like it one way and that is pretty much it. Twelve years ago I met a colorist named MarKo who was working at the Prive Salon in Soho. I trusted him immediately, and my hair was always in the best shape when it was in his hands.  We were friends from the moment we met. I followed him to Sally Hershberger  Downtown located in the Meatpacking District in Manhattan. Now, he is bi-coastal and also works at the Sally Hershberger Salon Los Angeles.

About 8 years ago,  I received a free color as a gift with a national salon/spa.  I should have known that nothing is ever for free when I told her just a few highlights and I ended up having the entire roll of tin foil on my head. You know that moment when you know there is no turning back and you feel like you are sinking in quick sand? That is how I felt as I was in that chair. I wanted to cry, but I just sat there figuring out what my next step was when I was free from that place. I ended up looking like Gwen Stefani. Gwen Stefani is good at being Gwen Stefani. I am not so much. I called MarKo the second I got out of that chair and cried and pleaded with him to fix me up.  I will never forget the next morning going into the city for appointments for the store looking truly like a “rock star” and not in a good way. He met me after my appointments and just shook his head.  ”Girl, you learned your lesson” was all that he said. Boy, did I ever.

Anyhoo, I read MarKo’s blog all the time. Recently, he had a post on etiquette when receiving a consultation from a colorist/stylist. He had great points. Check him out…..How To Receive A Consultation » Marko’s Tips.
