Maria Luz Cole-Havranek Hair Stylist Experience: 22 years total Speciality: I love doing up dos and men's fashion haircuts and color. Certification: Licensed in Pennsylvania and North Carolina and a graduate of Pittsburgh Beauty Academy. Maria has participated in numerous Hair Shows/Trainings and attended exclusive advance color classes with Lanza' and Artec's Hair Lab Tour and L'oreal Professional color. Maria is a Matrix So-color Educator, and have taken part the Matrix/L'oreal Professional Global Asian TOUR (Thailand, Philippines and Singapore). She is a co-owner, Artistic Director and Trainer to four quality Hair and Nails Salons based in the Philippines and is also a Certified Brazilian Blow-Out/Zero Specialist. Aside from that, I had given numerous speaking engagements for Career and Personal Development to graduating High School and coordinated fashion shows and beauty pageants. Creative Approach: I am passionate about this industry; it brings me joy to witness a person's physical transformation and making her/him feel good. My ultimate goal is to be able to help clients manage their new "do" at home by showing them how it is done. I listen and communicate with my clients so that I can provide them the right haircut to customize their needs. Alternating highlights and lowlights allow me to create a natural look when polishing a color service. Reviews: "Great color & cut from Maria!. I can't say enough great things about Maria. She is an absolute expert with color! She also gives excellent, flattering hair cuts. On top of all of that, Maria is super friendly and she gives useful advice on what to do to manage your hair at home. So helpful!!! I highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed. :)" by busymommy5 at Citysearch Hobbies: I like sharing my talent and knowledge to others. One of my greatest passions is spoiling and spending time with my two daughters. I also like travelling and landscaping with my husband of 23 years, and crazy about sleeping in after a hectic week. Lastly, I love to watch "Golden Girls" reruns at night when everything is quite.
