Victoria Hancock Named Master Colorist at Makeovers Salon & Spa of Easton

October 30, 2010 //  by admin

Victoria Hancock, Master Colorist

Makeovers Salon & Spa, one of the largest salon and spas in Massachusetts, located at the Marketplace Mall in Easton, has recently named Victoria Hancock as Master Colorist. Ms. Hancock is currently accepting new clients.

Ms. Hancock has more than 25 years of experience as a hair stylist/colorist and has spent the last 10 years specializing in color. Makeovers Salon and Spa has appointed Ms. Hancock as the salon’s Master Colorist and her specialties are corrective color, single processes and multiple technique foiling.

Previously, Ms. Hancock was a colorist for Andree Robere Salon & Day Spa for six years. Prior to that, she was a stylist/colorist at Paul Joseph’s Image Group. She obtained her education at Costin’s RI Academy of Beauty Culture and frequently attends hair color training and conferences to learn the latest, state-of-the-art techniques.

Sharing her knowledge of today’s hottest hair trends, Ms. Hancock noted, “For the fall season, warm, autumn color tones such as golds and coppers are in. Peek-A-Boo highlights are all the rage now because they give clients color longevity and options. These highlights go underneath the top layer of the hair and essentially last longer because they are not at the crown and you don’t notice them growing out. Peek-A-Boo highlights are very versatile and clients who love to change their hair color frequently, love these highlights because they allow for a tonal change as often as every 4-6 weeks.”

“As our most experienced colorist, Victoria is a truly valuable member of our team. She brings a wealth of knowledge to the table; clients adore her and and it is an absolute pleasure to work with her,” said internationally renowned stylists and salon owners Edward and Norah Blum.

Ms. Hancock resides in Raynham.

September 5, 2010 //  by admin

Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC) Hall of Famer and 2009 Dancing With The Stars competitor Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell and his girlfriend Heidi Northcott enjoyed a day of relaxation at Makeovers Salon + Spa in Easton before the big mixed martial arts “Fan Expo” event at the Hynes Convention Center last week in Boston’s Back Bay.

Kicking back in Makeovers plush, relaxing Couples Suite, Liddell enjoyed a 90-minute Deep Tissue Massage from Marilynn Lima who had worked on Texas Rangers Pitcher CJ Wilson a few weeks back. Northcott received her 90-minute Deep Tissue Massage from Teresa Flaherty.

According to Liddell, “The Makeovers crew treated me as if I had walked into their home. We had a great time. This will be my ‘go to’ spot when I come into the city.” He continued, “The place was really amazing. Total luxury and just 30 minutes outside of Boston.”

Ed and Norah Blum, owners of Makeovers Salon & Spa said, “It was an amazing experience to see how well-rounded an athlete Chuck is. He is truly a gracious gentleman.” Blum jokingly noted, “I would be thrilled to work with the UFC again. I feel safer working with them than against them.”

Salon Owner & Internationally Recognized Designer Edward Blum Leads Color & Design Team for Donna Karan During Fashion Week

February 18, 2010 //  by admin

Donna Karan & Edward Blum
Donna Karan & Edward Blum

Massachusetts salon owner and internationally recognized industry expert in hair color, design and styling, Edward Blum, just returned from New York this week after working with the color and design team for fashion designer Donna Karan as she introduced her Fall 2010 collection during Fashion Week (February 11-18th).

 

Blum, who was a team colorist with the “dynamic duo” Christopher and Sonya Dove, was brought to New York’s Fashion Week by Wella Professionals as a colorist/stylist for Donna Karan’s models. Blum is co-owner of the prestigious Makeovers Salon & Spa, a state-of-the-art facility located in Easton with a staff of 80.  Known for his artistry and technical knowledge, Blum has been a hair stylist for 31 years and a salon owner for more than 21 years.  Makeovers Salon & Spa is his fourth salon and one of the largest salons and spas in Massachusetts.

 

“Donna Karan’s Fall collection has an emphasis on curves with gathered suiting, body hugging wraps and scarves.  Hair style and color is all about looking very natural and approachable yet at the same time, ultra chic and refined.  Any hint of brassiness in hair color is out.  To get the gorgeous, shiny, natural looking hair that the models are sporting is definitely an investment,” noted Blum.

 

Blum shared some of the fashion trends that will be seen this fall:

 

•       Hair color will be natural looking with glosses and glazes leading the way.  Hair styles will be sporty and slightly edgy.

•       Nails will be natural looking.  Gel nails and gel polishes will be all the rage.

•       Trends in body care will be bio-organic and very moisturizing.

 

According to Blum, “We’re really going to see a turn towards the natural and organic this fall and it will be reflected in hair style and make-up, even in spa treatments.”

 

Blum has worked alongside a number of greats over the years including Vidal Sassoon, Jon Louis David and Jaque Dessange. He trained with Alexandre de Paris and also served as the International Spokesperson and Market Leader for Wella Corporation for 15 years, providing hair design and styling for major hair shows in the U.S. and Europe.

 

He is a contributing writer to many professional beauty publications including Modern Salon Magazine, American Salon Magazine and Salon Today Magazine.  No stranger to the stars, Blum has been the stylist for “One Life to Live” soap opera’s Christian Alfonso and Judge Maria Lopez of the “Maria Lopez Show” as well as for Buena Vista Studios-Disney, New England Today, Boston Channel 5 and Channel 4.   He has won numerous awards and worked on many other stage, hair and fashion award shows over the last three decades. 

 

On the local level, Blum holds the Northeast Cutting and Styling Championship title and his salon has been honored 15 times with First Place Reader’s Choice Award in all beauty categories.  Additionally, he frequently serves as a consultant to many cosmetology schools in New England.
