Color designed around your face, your tone, and your life.
Soft, defined, or bold. Each color is shaped to your skin, your features, and the maintenance you actually want to keep up with.
If you have had color before, some of this might sound familiar.
Most color experiences are not bad on purpose. They are built around the appointment instead of around you. Three patterns come up over and over.
Color picked off a chart that was not made for your skin.
Most color decisions happen by reference photo, not by reading your undertone. The result is technically the right shade and visibly the wrong color on you. The match should start with your skin, not with someone else's hair.
Color you cannot actually maintain.
A look that needed a touch-up six weeks ago and you knew it. Most color is designed for the appointment, not for the four months between appointments. The maintenance window should be part of the design, not an afterthought.
Brassiness, fade, and damage no one warned you about.
You agreed to a color and inherited a problem. The honest version of this conversation happens before any product touches your hair, including what your hair can and cannot hold without paying for it later.
Color, designed for the way you live.
Mariana's color work starts with the things most stylists skip: your undertone, your maintenance window, and what your hair can actually hold. Every decision in the chair traces back to one of those.
Color matched to your undertone, not the trend.
Before any product touches your hair, Mariana reads your undertone, your features, and the way light works on your skin. The color sits on you. You will not look like someone else's reference photo.
Built around how often you can actually come in.
Some clients come in every six weeks. Some need eight months between visits. Mariana designs the color around your real schedule so it grows out beautifully and never looks neglected.
Mariana will not push your hair past what it can hold.
If your hair is not ready for the look you want, you will hear that honestly. The plan might happen across two or three visits. The result is a color that lasts and hair that still feels like hair.
Designed to grow, not just to look good today.
Every placement is mapped so the color carries through the next four to six months. You leave with the look and a plan to keep it that way, including the products that protect it at home.
Three steps. No surprises.

Your color, designed in the chair.
Placement is mapped to your face. Tones are mixed to your undertone. Mariana talks you through every decision so you understand what is happening and why. You leave with the look you came for.
What keeps the color looking new.
Before you go, Mariana walks you through how to wash, protect, and refresh your color at home, the products that actually matter, and when to come back for maintenance. Your follow-up is on the calendar before you leave.
Mariana Reyes.
A single-stylist practice in your city. Mariana built her work around the clients other salons missed: women who had been talked over, sold the wrong service, or left with hair that did not feel like theirs.
Color is where she spends most of her time, because it is where the listening matters most. Undertone, lifestyle, maintenance window, hair history, the things that decide whether a color works for years or fades into a problem in eight weeks. Every appointment is one client at a time.
This is for you if…
Read the list. If three or more of these sound like you, the Hair Planning Session is the right place to start.
- You have never had color you actually loved.
- You are tired of brass, fade, or unwanted warmth showing up between appointments.
- You want a low-maintenance look but most stylists default to highlights you cannot keep up.
- You have specific concerns about your gray, your texture, or your past color that no one has really listened to.
- You want a stylist who explains why before she starts mixing.
Color you actually recognize as your own.
The best color is the kind you forget is color. It looks like you in better light. It softens features you want softened, brightens what you want brightened, and never makes you feel like you are wearing someone else's hair. That is the goal every time.
What clients say.
I have had highlights for fifteen years and never once felt like the color was actually mine. With Mariana it finally looks like the way I want my hair to look in my head.
She talked me out of going as light as I wanted and was completely right. The plan she built across two appointments was the difference between healthy hair and fried hair. I trust her.
Gray coverage that does not look like gray coverage. I had been hiding it for years and assumed it would look obvious or harsh. It does not. I just look like me.
She actually asked how often I wanted to come in and built the color around that answer. No one had ever done that. I have stretched my appointments and my hair still looks intentional.
Color in real life.
