5 /5 Brigid Martin: As I approach 60, I’ve embraced the idea of aging gracefully—but I wasn’t ready to look old. That’s when I reached out to Thomas at Awesome Hair Lab, and from the start, he made the process seamless and stress-free. He offered a virtual consultation before booking the appointment, which immediately reassured me that he understood exactly what I was looking for.
Thomas is a master stylist and colorist with years of experience, having trained at the prestigious Paul Mitchell Studio in New York City. His expertise shone through every step of the process. After our consultation, we set an appointment. During the wait, Thomas kept in touch, confirming details and preparing me for the big day, so I knew exactly what to expect.
On the day of my appointment, despite the bone-chilling -7°F weather, we both arrived right on time. Let me just say—calling his business Awesome Hair Lab is no exaggeration. I’d noticed the building in the village before but assumed it was either a barber shop or a space catering to other professionals. I never imagined it housed someone as skilled as Thomas Quaresina, a local talent from Queensbury.
I had tried going natural with my hair on my own, but it was a disaster—I practically lived in a hat for six months. Thomas completely transformed that mess. I can’t list all the techniques and colors he used, but the results? Stunning. My hair looked vibrant, youthful, and stylish, with a spring in its step (and mine). The cut was spot-on, almost identical to the picture I’d shared during the consultation. I also appreciated that Thomas wasn’t juggling multiple clients; he gave his full focus to every detail, from the intricate coloring to the precision of the cut, ensuring nothing was missed.
Even my skeptical family was impressed, saying that I looked younger. If you’re ready to embrace your gray and rediscover your confidence, I can’t recommend Awesome Hair Lab enough. Precision, artistry, and excellence—that’s exactly what Thomas delivered.
