Paulo Gregorio  I began my career in the heart of NYC in early 1995 on Madison Avenue, across the street from Barney’s, NY. My eyes opened wide to a new world of techniques as I learned from some of the top hair colorists in the business, enabling me to qualify as a master colorist. Over the next 4 years, I worked with L’Oreal International in their stylist division creating fashion model makeovers for some of the top magazines and hair shows. It was then that I wanted to establish a name for myself and Westchester County (where I lived) proved to be the right move. My clientele expanded as I worked in several upscale salons in White Plains, Eastchester and Armonk. Then a fabulous opportunity developed for Paulo with the purchase of his own salon “Paulo’s Atelier”. With its European flair and sharp, modern furniture it is a vision Paulo had for many years. With the support of his clientele and friends, its here where I can offer my expertise in color in a unique, comfortable and highly professional atmosphere. |

Yasin Yartasi  It is our good fortune that he has returned permanently- as a full-time stylist. We are honored to present him now on a grand scale. Yasin hails from Turkey where he apprenticed at age eleven, under his uncle's exacting guidance at their family-owned salon. The art of hair sculpting became intrinsic to young Yasin. He further honed his craft as a stylist in the U.S. as of 2001. While building a captivated clientele in Westchester, he secured his mastery in unique cut and superior blow dry techniques while taking advanced training classes intermittently at Toni and Guy in NYC. Yasin readily shares his expansive knowledge with fellow stylists, and eager young assistants. Although this gentleman is a full spectrum stylist (including cut/color/keratin complex relaxer, with emphasis on updos and turbo blowdrys), he is a visionary when he transforms you- the client with his styling prowess. The understated Yasin is too professional to ever tell you how extraordinary he is- but your friends will confirm this truth the second they see your trendy new locks! |

Derrek Hawkins  Derrek, a Westchester native, places his finger on the pulse of our growing, cosmopolitan population. Initially drawn to a life of rock and roll, Derrek toured the world as a professional musician, accompanying rock luminaries such as Ace Frehley of Kiss. His focus on hair color and style occurred early in his schooling, as he saw opportunity for personal expression that rivals his innate passion for music performance. Derrek brings his unique artistic imagination to Paulo's studio and our clients. Derrek, who keeps a hand in music and enjoys jamming with emerging bands, also seeks new and innovative ways to deliver superior color results to his adoring hair groupies. With a gentle, magnetic personality, Derrek imparts nuanced beauty to his clients. To stay on the cutting edge of new techniques and products, Derrek regularly attends training sessions at Goldwell labs in Baltimore. He has earned a reputation as a "seasonal" color savant, (balancing hues from winter, spring and summer, rather than keeping a status quo approach), and has carved a special niche with dimensional brunettes. It has become his trademark, yet his bombshell blondes would also swear their hair best reflects Derrek’s beautiful brand of work. Place yourself in Derek's skillful, creative hands, and decide for yourself! |

Tony Bianco  Tony has served an illustrious clientele in the Bedford area for many years. Prior to this tenure, Tony and two partners founded "Adam and Eve Enterprises in Scarsdale, NY. Within three years, six more "Adam and Eve" salons were added to the surrounding region.

Tony noticed an emerging necessity in his field, one that was often neglected. He developed special skills in "hair replacement" and enhancement for men and women. Tony furthered his craft by aiding women experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy and other health-related hair loss. His gentle, respectful and affectionate nature is specially suited to this niche, and he never tires of comforting clients facing this particular challenge.
