Lilybeth Vargas - Owner and Head Stylist
Known for her unique “Duo” technique of seamlessly blending hair extensions and coloring, Lilybeth Vargas is a colorist and master of hand-tied extensions in NYC. Her expertise comes from years of training with some of the most elite artists in NYC — including one-on-one with celebrity colorist Louis Licari — as well as working in Qatar as a VIP colorist.
It was while working in Licari’s Fifth Avenue salon that she cultivated her keen eye for hair color, opening the doors to opportunities in television and fashion. She assisted on the "Today Show’s 'Ambush Makeover' " segment, had her own segment on Rachel Ray! and collaborated with Soho’s chic Cutler Salon for multiple seasons of New York Fashion Week.
