Candace Cole
@CandaceColeHair
Candace has over 15 years of experience in the hairdressing industry, including having lived and worked in Paris as a freelance stylist.
Candace's dream hairdressing scenario transcends location; it's about the connection she forges with her clients. Her approach is all about listening intently and engaging in meaningful conversations to understand her clients' desires. For her, it's not just about following trends but rather crafting styles that resonate with her clients' individual preferences and hair types.
Beyond the salon chair, Candace's passions extend to the kitchen, where she wields her culinary skills and pairs dishes with a fine selection of wines. A connoisseur of orange wine and chilled reds, she recommends Tappo in St. Kevin's Arcade and Cave à Vin in Milford.
In the salon, Candace's signature colors reflect her penchant for effortlessly chic looks. Sandy, golden beige blends top her list, evoking a lived-in, boho blonde aesthetic. And as a self-proclaimed copper enthusiast, she's mastered the art of red copper tones, ensuring her clients always leave with head-turning hues.
If she weren't sculpting stunning hairstyles, Candace reveals she'd likely delve into the realm of psychology, showcasing her curiosity for understanding human behavior. But for now, she's dedicated to transforming tresses and spreading joy, one fabulous hairstyle at a time.
