#SalonPeachy @ManhattanPeachy #WhomYouKnow #ThomasMorrissey #JohnDOrazio #JohnDOrazioSalon #KatiJafine #PeachyDeegan Salon Peachy: Thomas Morrissey of The John D'Orazio Salon Paints Highlights to Summer Perfection!

Golden Summer Highlights with an update of your Base Color Perfect Your Manhattan Haircolor Experience Exclusively by Thomas Morrissey at John D'Orazio
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we absolutely know the best haircolorist in the business, THOMAS MORRISSEY!  His artistry has grown in leaps and bounds as evidenced on both the most gorgeous heads of hair in Manhattan and the wall at John D'Orazio above where his painting, "Emeralds" is showcased.  His illustrious career is known for a myriad of success stories, most well known of which without a doubt is Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, who with him left the historic salon Kenneth and was a patron of the Thomas Morrissey Salon as referenced in the 1986 Chicago Tribune.

Today, Thomas and his team work together at the illustrious John D'Orazio Salon on Madison between 71st and 72nd and you too can have this same glorious experience.  As we often state, we never edit the pictures.  You will really have this vibrant, natural, gorgeous color because Thomas's consummate taste combined with his stellar technique combine to make you your most beautiful.  
Manager Mary Hopkins graciously greets you the moment you alight the stairs and pop into the salon, and the entire experience is beautiful.  First, Thomas magically painted on Peachy's natural color and decimated any offending silvers.  After that set, it was washed out and the real summer style emerged as layers upon layers of precisely placed foil strategically secured the most fabulous highlights to frame Peachy's face.  There is no beach in Manhattan but there is a sunshine called Thomas Morrissey who will emanate with the power of his brush your most stunning sunkissed look!
Smiles like this and selfies are reserved for whom we love the most!
John D'Orazio, Peachy and Thomas!
Kati Jafine miraculously blew out Peachy's hair and her talents secured a style that even stood up to the humidity of the season.

Color by Thomas Morrissey of The John D'Orazio Salon continues to earn our Highest Recommendation.
