About

Maya trained as a painter before she trained as a colourist, and it shows. Her balayage is placed the way light actually falls, her glosses are mixed to the client's skin and her formulas are written down so every visit builds on the last. She has led colour education for three international brands.

Philosophy

“Good colour is invisible on day one and still good on day ninety. I think about the regrowth line before I think about the first appointment. If the colour only works fresh from the chair, it was never designed for a real person.”
