After graduating from Aveda Institute Soho in 2008, Shannon began her training as a colorist under Marie Robinson at her eponymous salon located in New York’s trendy Flatiron District. A short time later, she joined Serge Normant at John Frieda working at both of his high-volume Manhattan locations. Shannon specializes in blondes and sun-kissed brunettes, using balayage techniques. She also prides herself in the art of the double process blonde and enjoys the formulation of a good redhead. Her personal philosophy is simple: A color should complement an individual’s outward beauty, while inspiring their confidence from within.
