"Artistic expression is so important to my colleagues and
me. Colour, style and the way these
integrate with one another and with an individual is one of the reasons why I
chose hair as my medium."
Andrea Sher's passion for making people feel and look
beautiful comes from within. She has
been working with hair since she was 16 and has developed her skill in some of
the most accredited salons throughout New
York City.
After her professional training, Andrea worked at salons uptown and
really discovered her skills at the famed Roger Thompson Salon @ Barney's, New York City.
Being mentored by an industry icon taught Andrea how to live
her passion with each and every client. It also taught her that she knew
exactly what she wanted in a salon.
In February of 2001, Andrea partnered to open Anagen Hair
Studio in Chelsea
because she wanted to be surrounded by a cooperative of talented people that
all have the same goal: "...to be in an environment in which each person could
express themselves and we could continually learn from one another".
A visit with Andrea is about more than hair. Although she is
an expert at making people feel great, she is also a friend and trusted
confident to many of her clients.

As a young woman Christine Breton was not always satisfied with the way her hair was being cut and styled. It was 1987 and nobody in her suburban town had enough style and ingenuity to satisfy her edgy side. Taking matters into her own hands, she started cutting and coloring her hair herself. Her family and friends realized she had a knack to be a stylist, and so she began working on them too. She completed her education at Blaine Hair School in Boston and started working at David Gambale in Brookline MA. She got the urge to head to New York City where she has worked at Seventh Heaven, Classic Cuts, and Salon 5. The entrepreneurial bug bit and Christine partnered to open Anagen Hair Studio with the goal of controlling her brand and the "vibe" in her shop. She also wanted to have more control over the staff and set service pricing as she sees fit. Clients enjoy how Christine takes the time to get to know them and their personal style and uses this knowledge to give them a look that perfectly suits who they are.In addition to working at the shop, Christine volunteers at the NYU Hospital For Joint Diseases for the Initiative for Women with Disabilities. Most of the women are unable to style their hair because of lack of function and mobility, so she always makes sure to give them a great low maintenance style that they can do on their own. Christine also gets tremendous joy from helping people who have hair and styling issues due to radiation, chemotherapy, medication, and other medical conditions.

In the early 1990’s Kenneth attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, and was a major in Photography and Fashion Styling. It was during this time when he was working on fashion shoots with models, he discovered his passion for hair color. He was always fascinated by image, color, light reflection, and chemistry when doing photography, and later on discovered that being a hair colorist demanded a great understanding and instinct of these skills. Becoming a colorist was his dream job, since it offered both the creative and technical fulfillment Kenneth was looking for in a career.
He comes to Anagen after twelve years in the business. He was trained, by Colorist and salon owner Beth Minardi, at Minardi Salon on Manhattans upper eastside. Kenneth also has a resume of teaching hair color education programs to other industry professionals. And he has done numerous product consulting projects with major companies such as Redken, L’Oreal, and Wella.
Kenneth’s goal as a hair color specialist is always to produce a healthy, shiny, fashionable result, that fits every client’s desires, and personal style needs. The biggest reward to him is working with each client, to make them feel great about their hair color and image. He feels that every client is unique, and develops a special personal formula for each client around this belief.

I have been cutting and coloring hair professionally since 1984.
I have a degree in Sculpture from The Rhode island School of Design and approach hair cutting and coloring as an artist. It was a smooth transition from cutting all of my friend's hair in college to training at the Vidal Sassoon Salon on 59th Street in NYC.
I developed a particular talent for working with color, perceiving and rendering subtle differences that deliver a major impact on the appearance of my clients. That led to special work at the Clairol Color lab, the L'Oreal Color Lab and additional training with Framesi and most notably with Goldwell USA.
I am a dedicated Goldwell colorist not just because the product is superb but also because Goldwell USA has superior educational and technical support.
My clients know that I use the perception of an artist to create a total look with color that compliments not only a person's skin tone and eyes but that also accessorizes and improves the haircut, whether the goal is natural, bright, subtle or outrageous.
I am frequently recommended to new clients who come to me to correct mistakes made by others.
