Lindsay Long: Master Colorist, Dimensional Brunette & Redhead Specialist

With 14 years behind the chair, Lindsay Long has built one of the most loyal followings at West Coast Hair Design. She started her career in Orlando before bringing her talent to Jacksonville, Florida, where brunette hair has become her true specialty as one of the salon’s most requested colorists.

What Is the Old Money Brunette Look? 

Rich brunette hair is never just one shade. Lindsay creates depth by placing complementary tones that add shine and movement while still looking completely natural, whether that’s a deep espresso, rich chocolate, soft mocha, cool ash brown, or the popular Old Money Brunette look. That trend has become one of the most requested for a reason. It embraces understated luxury, focusing on rich, glossy tones with soft dimension instead of dramatic, high contrast highlights. The result is polished, timeless hair that grows out beautifully and looks expensive without looking overdone.

A vibrant redhead herself, Lindsay brings the same fun, spicy energy to the chair that she brings to her own hair, and reds are just as much her love as brunettes. She creates her signature color primarily through hand painted balayage, along with foils and other techniques suited to each client’s hair, and she can do a beautiful blonde too when asked. But brunettes and redheads are where her heart is, and where her results speak the loudest.

Pair that with her precision cutting, especially long layers and sharp, modern bobs, and it is easy to see why her book stays full.
