Salon Mir is a sanctuary. James is a wonderful soul—and an excellent colorist. He saved me from a disaster created at a different salon and continues to get my color right! I look forward to time spent with James in the salon AND I’m able to trust him with my color. A rare combination!

James has been my designated hair architect for 10 years now.  Fabulous cuts, but the color is the thing. My hair is always in better shape after it’s colored and it looks completely natural!
