Read the Interview with Midoma Owner and Artist Michael Schwarzer below.

1) Tell us about this hair choice for the shoot in Antigua.

When we met Anne Marie her hair was super long and heavy with a somewhat muted color. To get her hair beach ready we focused on a soft layered, weightless shape and melted mid to high buttery blonde tones with a Balayage technique into her hair.

2) How did you keep the hair composed on the beach with the wind and sand,

To keep Anne Marie‘s hair shiny, soft and free flowing we applied Elujuda, a weightless leave in serum by Milbon before the shoot.

3) What’s it like working with MWP?

Working with MWP is always fun. His high level of experience and clear vision is a guarantee for stunning, quality imagery.

Midoma is a fusion of Salon/Gallery/Boutique. Since 2000, we provide fine hair care in a highly creative setting by showcasing/exhibiting the works of NYC artists and designers. 

Our concept promotes and underscores the artistic approach to hairdressing.
