He looks like he belongs on the cover of a magazine. In fact TOMAS DE LA MILERA has been in many of them. Passion Magazine, Modern Salon, Coiffure and Sophisticated Hairstyles, just to name a few.

This stylist of stylists has been hiding out in Montrose at his FARRAGO salon where those that want to learn the art of cutting hair find him. It is an art and there are techniques involved in attaining that perfect cut.

It all begins with creativity and a passion for what you do. In his early days Tomas was accepted into the prestigious Vidal Sassoon Academy’s 13-week advanced hairstyling training program. He went on to the elite apprentice program on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, where for two years he continued to perfect his craft.

He also does precision cuts for clients. So what does Tomas recommend for your hair?

First of all, regardless of trends, it has to be something that you like and that fits your personality. The long hair trend continues but what excites Tomas are styles that "frame the face". Shorter, edgier, avantgarde, with movement. The woman on the cover of the magazine in this photo is a good example of balance and texture in symmetry.

Meet TOMAS at FARRAGO HAIR STUDIO 2032 Thompson Court at the Boardwalk in the Montrose Shopping Park. It's located in the parking lot behind The Black Cow next to Thompson Cleaners. Or call 818-249-6141
