Preston The Artist

Gosh I have been behind on updating this page! I apologize for being away.

Let's see, where did we leave off? Ah yes, voting for The Rainbow convention! Well, while I didn't win any of my nominated categories I did take home the trophy for the judges choice award. Which is a real honor consider the 20 judges for the show!

Shortly after that I also received a 20 under 40 award for Leadership Kitsap and that was truly an honor!

I've been a busy creature with staying busy behind the chair, continuing my educator and advocacy work and creating art in my limited free time!

Spring is here and with the sun coming out its time for some colorful updates!

Another publication!

This time with my Pulp Riot Diversity council friends for HM Magazine

It's an honor to sit at the table with these wonderful folks with strong passion and dedication for inclusion and beautiful ideas for changes in the beauty industry. ✨️

It is truly an honor to be able to announce that I was chosen for 30 hairstylists over 30 for Beauty Launchpad

Having my name up there with incredible artists, some of which I have looked up to for many years is truly an incredible feeling.

Thank you to all my wonderful support over the years! I am forever grateful to do the things I do and achieve what I have with the love from my community and clients.

What an honor to be preselected for the Americas Live Awards for creative colorist of the year! Here's hoping for a finalist spot 🥰

Galaxy lived in vivids are always on trend in my opinion!

Now booking May and June, accepting new clients on referral basis!

DM for scheduling

High contrast teal

When you want pastel but you had medium richness, sometimes the best way to achieve the look is patience and creativity. Removal of previous color is time consuming and adds compromise. It's corrective work!

Instead for this look, each root touch up has been more and more pastel added and just a gloss over the mids and ends.

Today with some creative freedom I added some dark ends for a more striking contrast look.
