Unlike traditional booth rent salons, G Patton Salon's approach focuses on cultivating an environment where stylists have an opportunity to provide input through salon meetings, in-house education and retail unity.

Additionally, G Patton has become a haven for an ambitious and educated staff representing the G Patton brand. Part of this brand involves partnering with the local businesses to expand our presence and involvement in the area through community service, promotional events, and educational opportunities.

Glenn's Tips

Glenn Hawker lives for layering and a good cocktail....and of course we're talking product. Wanna achieve the look? Then acquire the products. A good product line allows you to build "cocktails" for the hair that will help you to achieve long lasting style. Glenn's favorite "cocktail" for fine to medium hair types is to first prep the hair with label.m Thickening Cream roots to ends, and blow dry about 75% dry.

Then add label.m volume mousse on the roots to the mid-lenghts and label.m Smoothing Cream from mid-lengths to ends. Blow Dry using label.m's Large Round Brush. You will find yourself with a solid foundation that supports epic volume with super smooth ends!

Monique's Tips

Monique Francis suggests label.m Dry Shampoo for a quick fix for freshening up your style after a long day. Your day doesn't end after the office, so why should your great style?

Jessica W's Tips

Jessica White keeps it cool by refrigerating conditioners and stylers for a refreshing wash and wear. Doing this will help keep the cuticle closed and maximize shine. Curly hair responds especially well to this trick. Remember, lower ph level products help to lock in color, boosts shine and keep that cuticle closed ensuring healthy hair.

Keri's Tips

Keri Collins insists that a sure fire way to keep you styling products always working is by giving your hair a spa day once a week.

Keri's go-to product for instant prep is label.m's Deep Cleansing Shampoo. Clarifying your hair once a week ensures great volume and banishes excessive oils and product build up.

Shakeia's Tips

Shakeia Kelly swears that a little label.m Frizz Control Serum goes a long way. A dime size is more than enough for a full head of hair. Apply wet, style and apply a little more for a polished finish. Seal the deal with label.m Hold and Gloss spray for locks that last the entire day.

Jamie's Tips

Jamie Heeneman knows that sometimes the round brush might be a little overwhelming when you're tying to achieve that smooth voluminous look.

Don't be vexed! Velcro your way to epic volume. Velcro rollers are the easiest way to achieve a similar look. The bigger the roller the more body your hair will have!

Jill's Tips

Jill Jewett loves to wrap it up! Well at least super cute short hair. Short Sassy hair should be blown dry by using tools you already possess...your hands! Wrap the hair around the head back and forth with a sweeping motion to push texture to the next level.

Jessica A's Tips

Jessica Abrahante is our Resident Blow Dry Guru. Momma Knows Best!!! When blowdrying curly hair, towel dry first and distribute evenly through out the hair label.m Curl Cream. The number 1 rule is "a little goes a long way".... Use a diffuser and medium heat for perfect curls that bounce and last.

Meg's Tips

Meg Goeke touts that for tousled natural curls, twist hair in large sections as you blow dry, using your fingers to create a relaxed "lived in look". Fearless Curls Indeed!!!

Logan's Tips

Lo Laurent implores you to end endless blowdrying and do away with excessive damaging heat by towel blotting your wet hair first. removing most of the moisture helps maintain healthy hair. And as always you can never go wrong with label.m Heat Protection Spray!

Brant's Tips

Brant Ashbury always cuts to the quick with common sense. Using Salon recommended professional Products on your tresses is major whether styles are long or short. Healthy Hair is always in Vogue.

Sabrina's Tips

Sabrina Obenauer demands you ease up on your elbows when blow drying your hair with a round brush. Do your arms a favor and blow dry your hair 80% dry first and then go back with your round brush and finish the style. To lock in lasting style after hair is completely dry leave hair wrapped around brush and blast with your cool button on your dryer...The perfect blowout and stellar volume is achieved every time.

Chris's Tips

Chris Robbins reveals that unruly hair needs immediate attention asap! When working against a natural curl pattern use label.m Smoothing Cream and blow dry immediately with a label.m Paddle Brush. Simply Smooth and Sleek!

Liter sizes of label.m products as well as clips, brushes, blow dryers and flat irons from GHD. Dont' worry, we can still special order any client's old favorites with a 1-3 days delivery date. PRODUCTS SHIP FOR FREE!

G Patton will always and only utilize products and equipment that makes your hair healthier, shinier...more beautiful. Because we love your hair!
