The Longmeadow Team

Oksana

Owner, Master Stylist, Master Colorist

Location: Longmeadow / West Hartford

I am from Moldova, I moved to the US in 1989. As a young girl I always knew my passion was in hairdressing. I finished Springfield Technical Community College in 1990 and started in a high end salon where I perfected my craft. I traveled all over the world taking advanced cutting and coloring classes through Vidal Sassoon, Goldwell and became a certified Goldwell Master Colorist. I also attended many competitions. I went on to fulfill my dream and opened Oksana Salon & Spa in June of 2008 and I have dedicated my time to teaching and training and continue to expand my education. I love creative coloring and cutting. I think people are God’s most amazing creation and I feel honored by being a part of their life and making them look and feel their best.

Sue

Hair Designer, Master Colorist

Location: Longmeadow

I started doing hair in 1989. Hair was making a huge transition. “Big Hair” was starting to fade and the sleeker, softer looks of the 90’s were coming to the forefront. I worked under my mentor for 16 years. We traveled to many great conferences together. In 2005, after my first child was born, I decided to make a change in my career and move on from the salon that taught me so much. I’ve had extensive training in all areas of hair, but hair color has always been a real passion of mine. I’ve been here with Oksana since the salon opened in 2008 and I’m looking forward to many more years here. My philosophy on hair is this…..Your hair should always compliment YOU. Hair should move and shine and look authentic. I love pretty hair!!
