Meet Gray
Gray opened her studio in Vista ten years ago with no clients, no guarantees and a lot of faith. Hairstyling was her second career, and it became one of the best decisions she ever made.
Clients describe her as patient and a careful listener. Many have been coming back for years.
“Beauty is not just about how you look, it’s about how you feel.”
Hair care
Hair care questions, answered
Short answers to the questions Gray hears most in the chair.
How often should I trim my hair?
Every 8 to 12 weeks is a good rule for most people.
My hair doesn’t seem to grow much. Why?
Hair grows about half an inch to an inch a month on average. Some hair simply grows faster or slower than others.
Why does my hair feel greasy?
Your scalp makes its own oils to keep hair healthy. The right shampoo cleanses the scalp properly, and a light conditioner moisturizes without leaving residue.
Why is my hair so dry?
Usually it needs more moisture. Heat tools used without a heat protectant, or at their highest setting, also dry hair out.
Why does my hair color fade so quickly?
The quality of the color, your shampoo and other products, and how porous your hair is all play a part.
What are sulfates?
They are what makes shampoo lather. They can dry out your scalp and hair, irritate eyes and skin, and strip natural oils.
