London, 1985
Friday, March 30th, 2012
I spent a month in London in 1985. Within the first few days of landing, I visited a salon I heard about in a music documentary and had my roots lightened and colored bright red. I was excited to see and learn about a foreign subculture, and having the right hair was part of the experience. When Erin Anderson, co-founder of Woodley and Bunney, asked me to be part of a photo contest that involved creating a look that depicted a period and genre in London, my left eyebrow raised. I became obsessed. I pulled out all of my old photos- I googled images for hours. The intensity was furthered by the photographer: HERNY DILTZ! It has been fun reconnecting with my past. I will be spilling out more details in upcoming posts. I shot this image on my iphone.
Dimitrios Tsioumas

This cut and color is the product of the wildly talented Dimitrios, who graced the salon last Sunday to give an advanced class that brought hair stylists together from all over California. His vision and artistry are breathtaking. I think this video of his 2011 collection is super fun. Who is he? Goldwell International Master, Mizu NYC Creative Color Director and two time winner of the International Color Zoom Challenge. But what I love most is that he truly wants everyone to learn how to do great hair and takes the time to connect to his students. It was an honor having him at the salon.
