Products

I carry two product lines, Davines and Cult+King. Both of these lines have been carefully selected to provide clients with an array of hair care and styling choices that prioritize performance, value, and environmental responsibility. 

Davines
Based in Parma Italy, is owned by a multi generational family of cosmetic chemists. Their formulation philosophy is predicated on the belief that beautiful hair is healthy hair. From shampoo to hairspray to permanent hair color, every product is designed to enhance and improve the natural qualities of your hair. 

Cult+King
A
n American brand that prioritizes making healthy, ethical choices for our bodies and the planet. Formulations put an emphasis on organic, naturally derived ingredients, and substituting perfumes with essential oils. Packaging is low-to-no-plastic, and refill pouches are available so that product containers can be endlessly refilled. 

 

New
Clients

I am looking forward to working with you on creating a new look that expresses who you are and complements your life style!

I offer complementary consultations for those who want to meet and discuss your needs prior to booking an appointment. If you are ready to dive in and book a cut or color appointment, time for consultation is already built into your appointment.

Pictures are always a helpful jumping off point for consultations, however they are not required.  I strongly encourage my clients to bring in images of looks they like, REGARDLESS of wether or not you think it is possible and/or practical. I want to get to know you and your style as quickly as possible, and knowing what you find beautiful helps me to design a look that is perfect for, and unique to you.

 
 

ABOUT LIBBY

So much of who we are and who we want to be is communicated through our appearance.  My favorite client is someone who is excited to have fun collaborating on their self expression.

My specialities are creating beautiful, natural color, and cutting difficult textures.  I take pride in my long lasting, effortless looking results.  Coaching my clients on how to recreate salon styles at home, as well as proper daily haircare is a big part of how I approach my daily work.

I know that visiting the salon can be an intimidating experience for many of us, and I take the trust my clients put in me very seriously.  I work hard to create an experience that is comfortable and fun for us both. I believe that what sets me apart as a stylist is understanding that each client is unique and that one style does not fit all; a compassionate evaluation of my clients' desires and needs helps us to find a balance between your lifestyle and natural hair texture, for a style that makes you feel like your best self.

I enjoy chatting about books, cats and chickens, the latest in superhero movies and costume dramas, strategies for dismantling the patriarchy, as well as quietly listening to music together.

First visit

Today was my first visit with Libby at Hold Still Now. I must tell of the amazing experience I had. First I am a retired hairstlyist from Philadelphia, and my expectations at a salon with a hairstylist are VERY HIGH. She MET and EXCEEDED every expectation, seriously. This is one talented hairdresser. I have a short pixie cut, that practically cut itself from chemical damage, she salvaged it and made it look amazing. I'm here on business for a few weeks but will make sure to visit once more before I leave. That amazing!! — R. Hass

Great cut and I learned so much!

From my experience with Libby, I found her both talented as well as completely genuine in her promised (from the website) approach to make hair styling comfortable, fun, and less intimidating. I came in with a pretty un-tended quarantine mop and a lot of anxious energy and she walked me through questions that helped us both understand my hair better! I love my cut and highly recommend Libby! — L.L.

Just go book your appointment now!

I wish I could attach before and after pictures of the cut and color I got yesterday. My hair is so pretty and shiny and healthy now! I hadn't had a haircut in a year and a half, and hadn't been getting very good haircuts before that, but Libby has me back on track. She explained what the issues with my grown-out cut were and how to overcome them. Plus the salon is so clean and safe! Seriously, just go book your appointment now. — Sarah G.

Live saver in a pandemic world

Best hair experience in a long time. She made me feel so comfortable and gave me tons of hair care tips! I went from having a couple inches of light brown grow out (on super blonde hair) to now having a blended toned down more natural look. Exactly what I expected and needed to minimize my hair routine in a pandemic. I left feeling great and continue to feel amazing! — Andrea B.

Best haircut I've ever received

Libby was an amazing listener and asked all of the right, insightful questions. She understands not just how you want your hair to look on the day to day, but how you want your hair to move and exist in the world over a period of time. I had about 3 months of quarantine growth that I asked her to shape and she did so perfectly, while at the same time meeting my wishy washy needs. She also gave great hair product recommendations :) Thanks Libby! I'll be back! — Isaac D.
