Time for a New Look?

WE ALL NEED A CHANGE RIGHT NOW. ADMIT IT, YOU’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT, WE ALL HAVE.
Dream a little, what do you see? A bold now look perhaps. Go ahead, it’s time to act on those hopes and wishes for the hair you’ve imagined!
A NEW YOU EMERGES
The stunning results that are born from Brandon Scott’s talents are transforming lives and winning hearts. He is more of a hair engineer than a hair stylist. His expert attention to detail has transformed his clients into more attractive, confident people, who are comfortable in their own power. One reason is because of Scott’s training, which includes being certified in the Deva cut, a specialty cut that is designed to produce stellar results for any type of curly hair. “Once you get a Deva cut, you’re a Deva cut person for life,” said Scott.
A WORLD OF SULTRY CURLS
Right from the start, you’ll notice the difference between the fabulous Deva cut and every other haircut out there. First, the cut is done on totally dry hair. “When hair is dry, it falls differently than when it is wet. I cut it dry so I can see exactly where it’s falling,” said Scott. Secondly, he doesn’t use a comb. “The Deva cut is a sculptural and defined cut, so I’m literally going in and cutting your hair curl by curl into whatever shape you would like.” Finally, he teaches you how to care for your hair. “I train the customer to properly style their hair for wonderful, beautiful curls. For example, a lot of people try to style their hair when it’s too dry. Even towel dried is too dry. It needs to be very wet when you add your product to style it. That’s just one of the many tips I tell people,” said Scott.
ENTER A NEW ERA
Get ready to redefine your hair with show-stopping color. "The Company Salon and Spa has some of Saratoga's best stylists and colorists," said Scott. “We all are color specialists and can create a natural balayage look or a gorgeous mermaid hair look in as many fun colors as you want and even in sections of geometric shapes,” he continued. “Our hair is an extension of how we feel inside, and we can be a lot of different things.” If you'd like to achieve a lighter look with your hair, he and his team gently remove your existing tones with Olaplex or Wellaplex lightener, which leaves the lightened hair stronger and healthier than before. In the business for 21 years, Scott has seen hair styles and techniques evolve organically into the future. “We are going into a new era of hair design and as hairdressers, are able to do new things with new technologies and products. We’re always growing, creating, and updating the new hair trends.”
WALK INTO A WORK OF ART
The Company Salon and Spa’s innovation and artistry is apparent as soon as you walk in the door. “It’s like a beautiful art installation in itself – I’ve never seen another salon like it,” said Scott. Everywhere you look is easy glamour amid the backdrop of the lovely Italian Roberto Cavalli wallpaper. Opened in January 2020, the salon soon had to close because of the pandemic, but has since reopened and is now thriving. Hair is performance, but so is being a stylist. When Scott trained at Dramatics NYC, classes included cutting, coloring, and acting (to give people the tools to style hair but also to entertain them in the process!). Scott’s wit and talent are appreciated by his clients, which include the burlesque legend April March.
