Sharon Dorram-Krause: Colorist
By Jenny Bailly
olorist Sharon Dorram-Krause doesn't care who's sitting in her chair: She won't veer from her color principles. "If someone comes in wanting stripes or chunks, I send them away," she says. "They shouldn't waste their time or money on me." Kate Hudson, Uma Thurman, and Kate Winslet don't mind submitting to her authoritarian ways -- they all love her seamlessly blended highlights. "I know exactly where to put dark and where to put light," she says of the technique that keeps her appointment book filled to capacity at the John Frieda Salon in New York City.
Perhaps that's because before she landed in hair school, Dorram- Krause studied fine arts and, later, weaving in England. "I saw myself creating Chanel fabrics that would sell at $600 a yard," she says. Her reality today -- weaving blonde streaks (often for women wearing Chanel) at $250 to $450 per head -- isn't too far from that early vision.
