Tresses that Impress Stay on-trend with the help of Sean Donaldson Hair Salon Words by Vanessa Pascale With summer officially days away, it's about to really heat up and a hot, new look is in order – at least for me it is. Everyone, it seems, –from Selena Gomez to Vanessa Hudgens—is trading in their longer locks for shorter dos. I had been flirting with the idea of the coveted lob for months and decided it was time to say buh-bye to my forever-long hair, so I made an appointment with Sean Donaldson Hair. Opened in 2010, the off-Lincoln Road, European-inspired hair salon is helmed by owner and senior Creative Director, Sean Donaldson. The airy, bespoke salon boasts a menu of services from hair and makeup to waxing and facials provided by a team of 35. It's noon on a Friday and the salon is buzzing with clients. Today, I'm here solely for their hair services. Cuts range from $65-120, color from $65, baliage from $150, and stylist blow- dry from $45-70. Upon entering I am immediately greeted by manager, Dianne, and given a hot cup of green tea (which they keep refilled for me). Sean graciously comes over to introduce himself to me and say hello before returning to his client. Everyone is busy. After a chat with Natalie, who is a colorist and hair educator, we decide to brighten up my hair color. She expertly takes my too-golden hair and paints in blonde highlights and then makes my base color a cooler hue. The end-result is exactly what I want –the color is fresh and light. Then, it's time for my haircut. Salon manager Nichola gives me a textured, A-line lob. I love it! My new cut has movement and bounce --and is fun. I can't stop tousling my short, summery tresses. In addition to being immensely talented, the staff is warm and knowledgeable. My skilled hair stylists answer all my questions and keep me entertained with friendly chit-chat during my 4 hours in the salon chair. From the moment you walk in until you leave, you receive topnotch service.
