Master Colorist & Extensions Artist
"Dearest James:
I will never forget how you saved my hair and my vacation. Because of you I have beautiful shiny even toned hair. When I came to you I had 3 different shades of hair, starting from my root color to the center of my hair and than ending with my extensions. Because of your expertise and your knowledge of color I walked out looking better than most celebreties!!!
Thank you, Ida"

Hello James, Kasie and I are back in Ely, MN and everyone just loves our hair! I am so glad that we came to the Kim Vo salon. We are planning on coming back next year. I know if you came to Ely, you would have a mile long line for you to do just families hair here. We are so happy with our experience there! I don't know if I can wait a whole year to come back. I will not have anyone else color my hair, until I get back to see you. I just wanted to Thank you again! Have a Great Day! Sheila and Kasie
"You can trust James with your hair! I have been so nervous to get my hair done by a colorist since usually they do their own thing. James listens very well and does exactly what you want! He made my Las Vegas trip so much more memorable. I recommend stopping by the salon and meeting James in person."

"James is a true artist with a vision and technique far superior to anyone that has ever touched my hair. He is a genius with color and an absolute pleasure to be around. My color is even more gorgeous than I ever imagined and I look forward to sitting in his chair many more times in the future."

"...James Castro who did my color and highlights. Outstanding. Just outstanding. The color is so rich and it is the perfect shade to go with my complexion. My eyes, which I think are my best feature, are much more pronounced now. My hair looks about a thousand times healthier than before my afternoon with James. James is very gracious and sweet and has a beautiful smile. " A. Seidenberg

"Hello James,
Well I am home in NY and my event was a success, everyone loved and
complimented my cut and color, most of my guests knew I was in Vegas last week to get my hair done, by YOU, for my son's big event. You are a true artist and are worth every bit of time that goes in to planning my trip to Vegas just to have an appointment with you and Lavetta. For me to leave my kids and fly across the country on a regular basis, just to have you do my color, and give me the time and personal attention necessary for creating stunning highlights, you're the best!!"
Best Wishes, Chrissy NYC
"James is by far the best colorist in Las Vegas, and probably the United States. He rivals in precision, quality, technique and talent with the greatest French colorists. Having lived in Europe, I was always unhappy with the services of American colorists, the problem is that they do not know how to color jet black hair, even in the "best hair salons". When James did my hair, he had to not only correct the mess I had but give me the color I wanted. Needless to say, I was extatic with my hair, and I am a very difficult customer....James you're the best."

"Not many things are perfect in life. On my wedding day, my hair was!!! Many thanks."

"I was going to Las Vegas and wanted to find the best colorist so I researched and found James Castro's website. When I walked in the salon my hair was a complete mess because I have not been able to find a decent colorist in the midwest and have never been satisfied. I prayed James could correct the damage and what he did was astonishing. James started to color my hair with a technique called "balayage" and I was absolutely in awe. It was an artist at work and he really is amazing! I have never seen anything like this done and knew I was in the hands of a real artist who knows color. The final result was everything I hoped for and more! The best part is when I walked out of the salon, my husband was standing there with the biggest smile I have ever seen and said "you're smokin" and the way he looked at me was better than my wedding day. I felt like a million dollars and still do! Since returning home I have received so many compliments on my hair color.
Thank you James, you have truly convinced me that color can look natural and be a beautiful thing, it just will require me to travel wherever your career takes you, because I want the best!!! YOU'RE TRULY AN ARTIST and I am so happy that I found your website."
THANKS AGAIN, Kim (Columbus, Ohio)
