aLAN mANDARANO
Globally educated hair designer offering quality custom hair color, texture, and shaping services in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Continuing education is sought after each and every year. The things I enjoy doing, I try to be the best at. If there is a service I feel soeone else in our salon is more passionate about, I will refer you to them (Up-do's & Perms come to mind).
SOUL INTENTIONS My intent is to live in each instant, being of service, and to create an environment that is based in truth, spirituality, environmental responsibility, faith, and most important, Love. In general, a place to visit, to call home, where you can leave feeling better than when you arrived, a place where "Good" can happen, believing that the universe will correspond with our song.
-Alan Mandarano
PROFESSIONAL GOALSMy zest for creating the most natural looking hair, in the most natural way, is what keeps me creatively engaged. Maintaining a "Green & Growing" attitude has allowed me to remain teachable, thus able to adapt more easily, keeping my creative juices flowing in the right direction. I am always looking for more ways to keep the air we breath and the products we use as natural as possible.
