How long have you been working for Gila Rut?

3 wonderful years

What inspires you as a stylist?

Nature often inspires me as a colorist. I love the way colors flow seamlessly in and out of each other, season to season. The possibilities are endless…..

What is your favorite trend in the hair world right now?

Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of silver and chrome colors. It is a very cool transition; to create grey instead of covering it up.

Beautifing Oil is my favorite right now. I like to mix it in with hand massages, facials, and even into my color. Every part of us needs extra moisture this time of the year and Beautifing Oil delivers!
