A technique for highlighting the hair in which the dye is painted on in such a way as to create a graduated, natural-looking effect.
Ombré is a gradation of color, both foil and hand painted highlights to achieve a natural look.
Refers to changing a person's hair color, using lightener or haircolor to color hair strands. There are four basic types of highlights: foil highlights, hair painting, frosting, and chunking. Highlights can be done in natural or unnatural colors.
Color glaze and toner, to correct an unwanted color and to deposit shine. Hair gloss in either clear or tinted shades, that add shine and works as deep conditioning treatments.
Specialties include long low layers with proper face framed layers for long hair.
Specific Bob Haircuts which include a Classic Bob, a Shattered-Choppy Bob , a Chanel Bob.
One of the challenges of working with Asian \Indian Hair is being able to color and highlight it without producing the warm brassy tones, I can produce gorgeous lighter and cooler tones highlights and colors specific to Asian and Indian Hair
Another area of specialty is maximum gray coverage even with the most stubborn gray hair that is resistant and unresponsive to color.

Joanne K has been my hair stylist for the last 6 months. Her technique is outstanding. I travel back and forth to NYC every week and don't let anyone else touch my hair. She is also a wonderful person to spend an hour or so with, just chatting and catching up. I recommend her without hesitation.

I saw an acquaintance at a party a few years ago and was begging to know where she had gotten her highlights done; they looked stunning and so natural! She gave me Joanne's card, so off I went to try a new stylist. I was a little nervous, but Joanne's friendly and professional personality immediately put me at ease. I've been seeing her faithfully ever since. She doesn't just do what she wants, like so many other colorists have done before. She provides her professional opinion very respectfully and truly listens to what I want every time. Having my hair cut and colored by Joanne is truly a pleasure!

Love Joanne- I moved up from NC and had no clue where to go, so glad I was referred to her! She does great work at reasonable prices, the private salon experience is much more comfortable & relaxing. Most importantly, love my hair!

Joanne is great! Not only does she make you feel comfortable and at ease, but she's clearly a professional who knows what she's doing. I've never had a better cut, even at pricier salons. I was referred to her by a friend, and I always refer her to others who are looking for a great (not to mention reasonably-priced!) cut.
