Hair
Color: I am told I am a color wiz... rest assured that no matter what your desire is, whether you want high impact color, a softer color palette or restoring your natural color, I will always endeavor to respect the integrity of your hair health.
Length and cut: Your cut and style is a personal decision, but I don't always subscribe to the belief that you should cut your hair shorter as you get older. Today's trends are definitely skewed to long locks even for women over 50 and I encourage all women to explore these new gateways in glamor. Having said that, one of my best talents is listening to what you want and what would make your heart soar. Short, long, curly or straight... I will definitely give you my opinion of what would bring forth your best features and blend my design ideas with yours to create your new look.
Hope for thin hair: Hair challenged? I have had wimpy hair all my life and used to keep it cropped just to give it life and fullness. After 15 years of developing my hair skills, I am proud to offer you many solutions for those of you who also have thin, fine or lifeless hair. You may not even know what all of the possibilities are. I wear hair extensions and also scalp camouflage to enhance my hair. Trust me to find a great solution for you including extensions, integrations, add-ins and cosmetics. Anyone can have sexy, full hair and long locks... and you may be surprised how easy and affordable it is.
"After seeing you last week I have a fabulous new haircut and more confidence as I anxiously await finding a career path. I thank you for your kindness and immense help. It certainly isn’t hard to understand why you’re so successful. Thanks."

"I just wanted to say thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my hair. I'm so happy I found you and cannot imagine anyone else doing my hair. I'm so thankful for your dedication when I'm sitting in your chair! You make me feel like a million bucks and I walk out of your salon feeling like a celebrity every time... my hair ALWAYS looks so beautiful!"

"Laura DuPriest saved my hair! After a bad experience with my previous salon, I came to Laura who immediately went to work on the damage my hair had sustained. My hair became radiant once again and I can't imagine trusting my hair to anyone else. She not only took care of my hair but my inner well-being and self-esteem. Even my husband loves my hair more than ever!"

"...just wanted to thank you for the attentive and excellent services you provided to my sister Caryl on 9/30. Caryl has had some challenges finding a good look and style for herself. She left your salon walking on air because she was SO happy with her new look. Thank you for all of your kind words regarding my cancer situation. I look forward to checking out your salon whether I have hair or not!"

"I just wanted to thank you again for my new hair-do. Since you relaxed it, it moves, it's soft and shiny. I love it and I've had many compliments on it. My favorite one was that I look younger! Every woman loves to hear that!"

"Thanks for the most exciting day I've ever had at a salon! I thank you for continuing to work on me even during the chaos of employee absenteeism and celebrities showing up a week early. Best of all, today is the first day of 'styling without Laura' and I can do it. I love my cut and style."

"Thank you for taking the time to meet with me last Wednesday. I LOVE my new haircut and I'm trying to maintain it as best I can. My co-workers and family have all given me wonderful compliments – none of which I can truly take credit for, of course! So, thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

"Thank you so much for helping me start my make-over this morning. My husband loved the fact that I still have long hair and really liked my haircut! I have read about 1/3 of your book and like you said, I see myself in almost every page. With just this haircut I feel more beautiful and sexy! I look forward to my new 'self' and becoming 60 next May won't be so bad after all."

"Laura, remember me? I came in with the Farrah Fawcett and left looking like Heather Locklear. Wanted to let you know that I've had so many compliments on my hair... mostly being told that I look much younger! I just wanted to say thank you."

"Last Friday you cut my hair. I do not know how you managed, but the natural curl has returned. You can't imagine how many compliments I have received in the last week since returning to Chicago! If I happen to see Oprah jogging in the park, (which occasionally happens), I'll be certain to mention your book."

"I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel special today. I needed to hear the things you said to me. I love the color and cut of my hair. My husband does also.

"I just wanted to thank you again for my wonderful experience at your salon. I love my new color and you treated me like gold—especially going out of your way to bring me a sandwich tray and have your therapist massage my neck. It feels so much better! I really appreciate all that you and your staff did for me today!"

"I don't know if you remember me, but I was the lady that came to you for the highlight on my way to give a candidate's speech. Well... I was elected for the office I was running for and I swear it was the hair! I felt like a million and my confidence couldn't have been better. You were so sweet and professional. If I can't get you to come down to Santa Cruz, I will be back up your way to see you again. My husband loved my hair and that is a true test! (He doesn't like change). Many thanks to you, you made a difference in this girl!"

"I can't tell you how much I miss your salon. After searching for a salon that has the professionalism and services that yours has to offer, I've come to the conclusion that one does not exist here in Jackson, Mississippi area!"
