Teresa specializes in hair sculpting (not cutting) most any texture and is enamored with the way hair moves about the body; studies its effects with gestures and human behavior. She is a certified Brazilian Blowout and Keratin Complex stylist and is one of the few remaining stylists still working with perm texturizing. Teresa has worked in the industry for over 20 years and her education includes Vidal Sassoon; Toni & Guy; and the former Architects & Heroes. She instructs one-on-one, with hands-on innovative advanced cutting courses. Teresa engages in asymmetry of shapes and layering of colors, including natural greys; “a seashell effect”.

“I have been going to Teresa, for over 20 years and Love her work. She does an awesome job on curly hair/wavy hair. She’s a great stylist and always updates her cutting techniques. She listens to her clients, needs, wants and is truthful about what one’s hair can and cannot do. More importantly, she makes sure that the cut she gives you, is something you can manage and style at home. As I mentioned above I have been going to her for over 20 years, so I have seen her grow as a stylist and I have had the pleasure of watching her cut other folk’s hair, straight etc and they are always happy. You can tell, because they bounce out of the shop with this great smile on their face.” – Jess O.

“Luscious Locks: And lastly, I’m not one to brag, but people have been talking about my healthy, shiny head of hair. Sun-kissed and sassy, I treated my locks to a “facial” the other day at the {new} Touch Salon on Antioch Court in Montclair.

Teresa and Kostas Bozikis have turned the old Hair Tailor into a sensual spa, with powder blue chairs and pleasing paintings from local artists.

“…because Teresa treats your hair like an artist’s palate, which is why L’Oreal chose her salon to represent its Kerastase line of French products. The add moisture and shine to your hair – not to mention the soothing scalp massage that you get with the treatment. Add a masseuse and an esthetician and you’ve got Montclair’s newest spa and salon. Now ask yourself; don’t you deserve it?” - Ginny Prior, Montclarion News, Friday January 18, 2008.

Kostas’ methods and approach to dimensional coloring starts with the balance and effects of the natural hair, skin and eye tones. He has received both criticism and acclaim for his unstructured approach and unconventional application in both coloring and cutting. His coloring strengths materializes from knowledge of color theory and deliberation to mimic colors of nature. Emigrating from the Greek isles, Kostas’s creative energy and sensual appeal stems from European fashions and lifestyle. His advanced education includes workshops with Kerastase, Redken, Bumble & Bumble, Goldwell, and Aveda; he is a certified stylist in Brazilian Blowout and Keratin Complex.

Have you dreamt of spending your dream vaction in a villa on a Greek island? Who hasn’t?!

“I am so psyched to have finally found someone that actually cares about my hair and teaches me how to take care of it every time I go for a cut. Kostas seems to truly enjoy what he does, and I am so thankful that there is a decent salon in Montclair! Montclair needs a face-lift to help bring it into the 21st century, and Kostas is one of a few that have taken the plunge. He does color with perfection, and has given me one of the best haircuts that I have ever had. I have complicated, big, curly hair and have been to many of the high-end salons in the city. I have to admit – he has done the best job out of all of them. And, if you are a sucker for a good head massage and shampoo, you will absolutely not be disappointed. Funky, classy, sexy, and fun.” – Cary B.
