Welcome to
Color by Mara

Mara has worked in the industry for over ten years learning from some of the industry's leading specialists.  She enjoys keeping her clients looking perfectly manicured and modern.

Mara began her career at Antonio Prieto with stints at Louis Licari, Alessandro Mangerini, and Kenneth Salon where she picked up many trade secrets.  After moving to Julien Farel she was able to grow into her role as colorist and continue expanding both her clientele and skills as she moved into the Peninsula Hotel with Vu Hair where she painted everyone from royalty to celebrities.  In 2017 she relocated to Varin Salon and built a clientele who rely on her extensive knowledge to fully customize and enhance their look while maintaining the health and beauty of their hair.  You won't recognize her work walking down Madison Avenue because she develops each look to be as distinctive as the woman wearing it.  

Whether it's a color correction, a young woman's first highlights, Balayage, or a touchup between meetings, Mara will transform your look so your natural beauty shines through.  Her motto is "you deserve better hair" and she will deliver the tools to make that happen and compliment your lifestyle.  With her "less is more" approach there's a little something in each application that makes her clients’ hair softer, prettier, richer. It’s no surprise that she has earned a loyal following of some of New York City’s most discerning men and women.
