SLASH Salon Gave me a New Look!

I just got a new look from Carla Ross, owner of SLASH Salon in Santa Monica, and I’m stoked! Carla uses only cruelty free products – primarily Kevin Murphy and Leonor Greyl.

First, Carla gave me a wonderful palm oil treatment from Leonor Greyl. She sectioned off the hair and brushed it through, letting the oil moisturize and remove dirt and debris at the same time. When the oil was applied, she showed me the split ends that would need to be cut. It’s nice to know your hair stylist listens when you say you want to keep your hair as long as possible. She only cut off what was necessary and she told me I would have the same length by December if I kept up with trims.

(L-R) Before and After!

Then, her assistant, Nettie Rose, gave me a great shampoo, head massage and conditioning treatment. Carla and Nettie explained that for a deep clean, you actually need to use an oil before shampooing because, “like removes like.” The oil will attract oil and product residue on your scalp and then you can wash it clean with a regular (preferably sulfate-free) shampoo, followed by a conditioner. This is similar to Dermalogica’s Pre-Cleanse method for your face!

Carla gave me a great layered cut, followed by color – dark coffee-color with bright red highlights. She kept me laughing the whole time – 3 hours flew by and I barely noticed!

Carla has a long list of loyal clients that have followed her from the UK to NYC and now to LA. Her specialty is hair cutting however she is also an accomplished colorist. She is an innovator and creates the looks that other stylists emulate. She does not follow the trends. She sculpts hair according to texture and head shape. No two cuts are the same.
