Highlights is owned and operated by Mark Giuliano, The Salon has been open since 2000.
Mark keeps his stylists up-to-date with classes every Tuesday night. The decor is a little outdated, with a "retro" Barbie picture adorning the back wall, but Mark Giuliano's friendly eyes will invite you into his salon. Be specific with your requests for hairdos--- pictures and vivid descriptions will help the stylists understand your request. Also, make sure you get an estimate on the price before they start- junior stylist tend to be just as expensive and with less experience (and will add conditioning treatments to the price when you didn't even ask grrrrrr....). Bottomline: Mark knows hair- and if you can't get him, don't ask for a junior stylist- just wait.
