Hi. My name is Joy La Rosa and I'm a hair stylist here in New York City. I work downtown
in Soho at a salon called Sam Brocato Salon. I've been styling hair professionally for
about six or seven years. I have been cutting and coloring hair though since I was 13 years
old. So it has always been a very natural art form for me. As an artist, using other
means to create art, it just seems like a natural extension to that.
As far as that goes, I love all types of beauty. I love make up. I love hair. I love fashion.
And I think that it's really exciting to kind of blend all those things together to create
something. One of my greatest passions is working face-to-face with actual real people.
I get an opportunity to work with a lot of great celebrities, but I really love working
with you know, the everyday men and women. I really love teaching women to pick up on
things that are really beautiful about themselves. I think it's a really special opportunity
to make somebody feel beautiful.
I also am really passionate about tutorials. Every person that sits in my chair and gets
a haircut or style with me ends up leaving with a little lesson on how to recreate that
look at home. I think that as a hairdresser that's one of the biggest gifts that I can
give you, is how to expand your knowledge base too. So I've had a lot of people that
I've been working with for a couple of years and they started out not knowing very much
about how to style and little by little, integrating little tricks into their routine, and now
they're pretty savvy about how to style hair. They could probably come on and teach us something
here on HowCast.
So a great way to keep in touch with me or find out what inspires me, would be on my
Facebook page, so just search for me on Facebook, Joy La Rosa hair stylist. That's how you'll
find me. I also have a website coming soon that will be JoyLaRosa.com. And now I've created
a series called Hairstyling 101, that touches base on, you know, all kinds of topics, anywhere
from hair extensions to bangs to curl techniques to vintage styles. A lot of really great things
to check out, so please keep watching.
