Are
you confused with today’s terminology surrounding hair color? Balayage, Root Shadowing, Multi-Dimensional,
and Session Work? If so, then the newly
established salon, The Beauty Barr, located at 57 Tandberg Trail, Suite 7 in
Windham may be the solution and attention your once beautiful hair needs. Amy
Barr, the owner and stylist with over 30 years of experience is just the person
who can provide that professional touch that will turn the heads of your
friends, family and coworkers.
“I
love making people feel good and there is nothing like a great color and cut to
do just that,” stated Barr. “Hair is an accessory that is meant to be changed
and updated from time to time in order for an individual, and their hair, to
remain fresh and alive.”
Barr
officially opened her own salon on September 4th. “Although I
enjoyed and had a great time renting my own booth and managing at other hair
salons, I was ready for the next big step in my career.”
Barr’s
career has expanded and grown in three decades. She is trained professionally
with a concentration on hair coloring.
She is also an educator, teaching a four-day color certification program
with Coastline Enterprises through KoLab Education.
When
speaking with Barr, it is very evident that she is passionate about hair color
and making sure her guests, as she refers to her business clients, get the best
service possible. “I do a very thorough consultation with my guests,” she
explained. “I determine the fabric of the individual’s hair and the lifestyle
one prefers. I discover whether my guests want a ‘get up and go’ approach or if
they enjoy taking an extra 10 minutes or so in the morning to add a little
flair to their hair.”
During
your consultation, Barr can determine her guests’ hair characteristics and
preferences. From there, she works
closely with them to meet their ideal color and cut. “We [the guest and I] will
work together to achieve their goals and ideals, usually based upon a picture
that was discussed during the consultation,” she explained. Sometimes these
goals require session work.

As
part of the hair coloring process, Barr uses a warm steamer. “It is much like a
hair dryer, but uses moist heat, an effective tool, which is less time
consuming.”
Barr
also provides an “at home hair guide” with suggestions on Ph balanced products
to maintain their color and cut to the utmost in between appointments.
Barr
educates her guests about the science behind hair and hair color, thus
recommending shampoos and conditioners which are best for the user. “There is a
big difference between curly hair and straight hair,” Barr explained. “Straight
hair lacks protein and thus a protein-based product is recommended. Curly hair
is dry in nature and therefore, I recommend a moisture-based product.” Barr also believes clarifying one’s hair is
the most important thing one can do to maintain healthier hair.
One
may wonder how Barr remembers all the details of her individual guests and
their hair care needs. “I keep thorough records,” she stated. “That way, I know
what I have discussed with my guests, what we have learned together, and what
the next step may be.”
