A Note From Sophie!

At Hair Magic w/ Integrity, as an artistic stylist my philosophy regarding hair is, "It's your ego I'm concerned about, not mine!" I want every cut to be what you demand in terms of function, accuracy, and excellence! Getting your hair cut, colored or styled shouldn't be an uncomfortable experience. Communication is the key to better understanding. I encourage you to bring pictures of your desired style if you already have one in mind. I understand that non-hairdressers may not be familiar with technical cutting terms that hairdressers are familiar with.  Visuals are welcomed when you'e trying to describe the look you want. Do not be disappointed if  I disagree with you. I am trained to listen, understand, and, most important, design a style that will suit your needs, facial structure, styling ability, and time frame.   I may suggest a slight modification of your desired style to better fit your facial structure.

Remember that your time frame is so important for the replication of your style on a day-to-day basis. During your consultation, please explain how much time you have to invest in a style in the morning. For instance: If you have fine, thin, hair, and you have to be at work early in the morning, and in addition, you must usher others in the household, carpool kids to school (and dread getting up in the mornning), and worse yet, your workplace is on the other side of town, It doesn't sound like you have too much time to invest in a style that requires your whole morning. (Doesn't take a genius!) While I may be able to create a look with thin, fine hair that looks as thick as the picture you've shown me, if you cannot replicate that style on a daily basis, I have failed you. Remember that the consultation process is the most important. If I feel for an instant that we are not communicating, I will not let the service begin until you are confident that your desired look can be achieved.

Please remember that as an artist, I all have different tastes, talents, and techniques. Certain effects can be achieved using different techniques and tools.  If you want a certain look, allow me to use the tools I am familiar with.  In addition, PLEASE purchase the items I recommend for your hair type. There are four categories you will need for your hair: a good cleanser, a conditioner, a styling aid, and a finishing spray or pomade. These items are just as important as a brush, comb, or blow dryer. Without these, you cannot duplicate the look I have created. We even have "Nut's and Bolts" formulations for all you "Whiney"  types who insist that styling weighs down your hair! Whatever!! "Don't fret!"  I am not here to push products on you that you don't need. Trust me, I am here to help you. Buying professional salon products should not feel like a multi-level marketing presentation.  If you need something, I will suggest it. If you coincidentally have that exact same item at home and do not need it, then simply say, "I do not need that!" See It's real easy!

After your reassuring consultation, "sit back, relax, take whatever prescribed medications have been suggested by your medical professional, and let us get you there! Oy, life's too short to look like a mushroom head standing in the wind  & rain all day! Remember, "if your Hair's not becoming to you, you should be coming to us!"

Let us pamper you!  You deserve it!
