Beyond the Blonde

From the star colorist at New York's Salon AKS comes a story about the city's salon du jour—and the rising young stylist taking her chic clients...Beyond the Blonde

Georgia was born to color hair: Back in Weekeepeemie, New Hampshire, her single mother struggled to keep her own small-town beauty parlor and family afloat. Seeking more after beauty school, Georgia moves to New York City and starts working at the Jean-Luc Salon. Here, in this glitzy, over-the-top world, she highlights dogs' hair to match their owners', makes house calls to the Hamptons, and barely bats an eyelash at a thousand-dollar tip. She's too busy for romance—until her quiet, handsome colleague Massimo begins to offer more than styling pointers... and Jean-Luc does the unthinkable. Now Georgia will need help from the most unlikely people, if she is to survive the ugly side of beauty.
