IF:  Tell us what you think is the biggest challenge in hairdressing today?

CP:  I’m the color correction “go to”.  Being the “911” colorist can always be a challenge.

IF:  What’s the most enjoyable part of your job?

CP:  Transformation.  Having people leave the salon with the prettiest polished hair color is number one for me.  Not only to address roots, but the middle and end are just as important.
