The BEST stylist I found on island hands down - and she beats MANY mainland stylists - is Amy K at Salon Capello. I have been to at least 7 stylists on island in search of a talented, color artist who could give me a natural, sun kissed, soft blonde look.
With other stylists I experienced bleached, over processed hair which damaged the ends, glowing orange highlights that were the most unnatural color known to man, then "corrected" via an over-toned chestnut brown look - I didn't recognize myself in the mirror anymore. I was given "baby" highlights by an egotistical stylist that were as thin as dental floss - you needed a progressive lens to see them -and charged an obscene amount of money that would have better served me if I set it afire.
I was just about to give up -then I found Amy. She was patient with me while I questioned her about her process, her technique, the colors she would use, the products she prefers and why - all in an attempt to AVOID reliving old experiences. With a leap of faith I booked an appointment and let her do her magic.
The result: the most natural, lifted, sun kissed highlights I've ever had. Subtle, yet noticeable, soft, cool blonde - NO shades of orange or chestnut brown. My hair looked incredible directly after she removed the foils - no toner needed! I was shocked! I've always seen neon yellow streaks after highlights that inevitable are "corrected" by over-toned, muted, flat, dark colors - which made me wonder what the heck did I pay for, only to be told "it'll brighten up in a few washes". Wait a minute - I dropped $$$$ on "highlights" that were darkened and had to wash out to brighten up - does that even make sense? SMH.....
Amy applied a light toner to enhance the cool blonde hues as I was vehemently opposed to ANY warm tones after my journey. I looked in the mirror and noticed myself again! I was ecstatic- overjoyed! It was so wonderful to have my natural tones back, and the brightness took years off my appearance. It was so natural one might said "I wonder if she was born that way." Most people want streaks and stripes, overtly visible signs of hair alterations- any inexperienced stylist can you give you that. But few give you a "born that way" look. If you are looking for natural beauty amplified, Amy can give you that!
