Edward has been coloring hair for over 26 years. He has been featured in several magazines such as Elle, Chicago, Nylon, and Self Magazine who named him “Best Colorist in the Mid-West”.   He has also crossed over into TV by creating makeovers for MTV and local talk shows.  Edward’s training has been with some of the best colorists in the industry from London, San Francisco, and New York.  He can achieve colors from the very natural, as if the sun came down and kissed your head, to the outrageous and everything in between.  Fully trained by RUSK, Edward is also an accomplished hair cutter.
