Salon Peachy: Star Redken Colorist David Stanko Brightens Up Peachy Deegan for the Summer with Classy Blonde Highlights While Key Emerging Talent Mariano Cuevas Gives Her a Trim
Did you see Peachy Deegan last night! If you were among those that graciously complemented her on her new hair, all credit must go to Star Redken Colorist David R. Stanko! We all want to be a little lighter and brighter for the summer to get that natural look of sunkissed hair, and David is quite the magician of color! He was recommended to us by Redken, and you know we love love love LOVE Redken! This is the 39th time we've mentioned them, not that we're counting!
Peachy's visit to David began when she entered 48 East 43rd Street's Second floor Angelo and David Salon, venue of creation for David and Mariano. From the moment she walked in, Camila Pombo pleasantly greeted her and brought her good coffee in a cup and saucer, and Mariano Cuevas exuded California cheer, as we imagine he does everywhere he goes in Manhattan from the subway to ordering his egg and swiss sandwich in the mornings. The salon itself is clean, white and well-lit with geometric track lighting from above. You'll be completely delighted and comfortable.
Our David Stanko coloring experience began with a detailed consultation between Peachy and David. As you know from previous Salon Peachy write-ups, one of Peachy's worst nightmares across the board is a bad dye job and to her, this means any red hair on Peachy. David Stanko is truly interested in listening to what his clients want, who they are, what they want to be and most of all, he knows how to get them there and he executes! We spoke about how we did not want Peachy to be a single process blonde and look like something out of Dynasty in the 1980's. We wanted a customized experience including the considerations of how one wears their hair and who they portray. Of course, Peachy wants to be the classic uptown girl.
Hair is dark to blonde on a scale basis of ten, where 1 is black and 10 is blonde. Naturally, Peachy is a 4 but David brought her up to a 5 for summer and it is perfect! We discussed possibly going lighter, however the caramel scared Peachy and in her risk-management red assessment she conservatively agreed to 5. David is not one of those crazy colorists who thinks your head is his canvas in that you will be the recipient of what he thinks would look good alone; like we said, he does really listen and you come out looking as amazing as you wanted to on your terms, whether you are a downtown chic or an uptown girl.
This richer base gave Peachy's highlights a chance to pop! Also, the few grays were promptly eliminated as well which is always key. With Redken's EQ products coupled with David Stanko's expertise, the perfect color was completely achievable! The highlights were foiled and Shades EQ was implemented, and David used freehand painting Balayage (French technique) which looks so natural. The wonderful Redken All Soft Shampoo was the next step, followed by the Color Protect Shot which is a treatment to seal and protect haircolor, complete with antioxidants.
The whole Redken Chemistry experience is the best it gets in color. Your hair will be transformed with the renovated, luxurious Redken Chemistry (formerly Chemistry System) – customized treatments utilizing advanced technology and salon professional expertise to meet clients’ specialized haircare needs. Redken Chemistry helps treat distressed hair as a result of chemical and/or mechanical processes. Chemical distress is caused by the overuse of chemical services such as haircolor, perming, or straightening. Mechanical distress is caused by normal wear and tear from blow-drying, thermal irons, and everyday brushing. Distressed hair results in dry, brittle, frizzy, damaged, weak, sensitized, faded, and/or dull hair. None of us wants this, least of all, Peachy Deegan who is constantly on the hunt to find products to revitalize your hair in Product Alert.

All of these products combined with the expertise of the team involved left Peachy looking like a supermodel by the time she was finished. Mariano gave her the perfect trim to complete the brilliant color.
The service exceeded our expectations. As we were raving about the new Cherry Lush Tom Ford Private Blend Lipcolor that Peachy wore, the team even painted Peachy's nails to match and Mariana did a lovely job. The outstanding lipcolor:
