American Board of Certified Haircolorists

The owner, Jim Thrasher, has over 20 years experience in the hair industry.  He is a Certified Master Haircolorist as well as a Master stylist who has worked in prestigious salons in Beverly Hills, CA and Boulder, CO before opening his very own salon here in Westminster, CO.  Education is one of the most important aspects of our salon.  We strongly believe in not only educating our stylists on the latest styles and techniques, but also our clients.  Something we hear all too often from our clients is the fact that they have trouble recreating their "salon" look at home.  We strive to educate our clients on the styling process as well as the products we use on their hair that will help them achieve that "salon" look after they have left the salon. If you are looking for a great cut or color service, something that will compliment your features, enhance your natural beauty, and give you an added confidence, then look no further.

ABCH Educator

My name is Jaclyn Bravo.  I have had the pleasure of working in my preferred field of expertise for the past six years. I began cosmetology school at Ultima College of Cosmetology at the age of 16. Once I graduated, I began working as an apprentice at an upscale salon in Boulder under a nationally renowned colourist.  During my time working as an apprentice I gained a tremendous amount of skills that helped me to be the successful and talented hairdresser that I am today.  I have received my certification as an American Board Certified Master Haircolorist and I specialize in haircolor, hi-liting, lo-liting and color correction.  I strive to be the very best I can be by continuing my education and training with a master haircuter as well as taking master color classes.  I absolutely love what I do.  One of the things I love most about my job is seeing people walk out of the salon with a renewed sense of confidence about themselves.

Bumble and bumble Network Educator

My name is Summer Rader.   I believe education to be the back-bone to any successful business and hair design is no exception.  I have attended and successfully completed many classes throughout the years to help me refine and fine-tune my skill as a hair designer.  I continue intensive training courses in New York every year thrgough the Bumble and bumble University.  I am certified as a Master Hair Stylist, Master Hair Colorist as well as a Network Educator.  Although I enjoy all aspects of doing hair, my passion is for color.  To brighten up someone's appearance by adding highlights or complementing someone's skin tone by altering their color is what I truly enjoy best.  I believe that there is no better feeling than when you treat yourself to a pampering color service and leave feeling renewed and ready to take on the world.  That is when I feel like my work has truly made a difference.

Lyndsay Update

Sadly, come January 2009, Lyndsay will be leaving us to move to New York and pursue her hair design career there.  As one of the first stylists to work in our salon she will be greatly missed  as she has become one of the family! 

Update - as of May 2009, Lyndsay is now working directly with Bumble and bumble!  Yeah!  We are all very proud of her and continue to wish her the best!

Tara Update

We are very excited to announce that Tara has had her beautiful baby girl - and yes.... she was early, as expected.  Peighton was born 5/19/09 and shares a birthday with Jim and Sondra's daughter, Mikayla!

 Tara is officially on maternity leave and regrets to announce that she will not be returning to work as her new family will be moving to the East Coast to take advantage of an amazing educational opportunity her husband was afforded come September.  She promises to stay in touch and plans on returning over the Summer to work a few months.  You may find her on facebook if you would like to contact her directly.
