Laura Porter-Wycoff
I specialize in color, foils and highlights of every shade. I have an eye for style and pay close attention to detail and a passion for beauty and fashion.
I attended Concorde school of hair design 36 years ago, after my schooling I studied precision haircutting in Redbank. I worked in Manalapan for three years, then based myself for 19 years out of Champoo’ salon later to be called Salon Darson. After I gave birth to twins, I came closer to home, I started working in point Pleasant in Salon Topez till I joined with Edie and opened The Blonde and The Brunette Hair Studio. I have traveled across the country too many amazing places, learning, and studying and training to keep up with all the newest and latest styles… When I’m not working, I love to spend time with my children and grandchildren. I also love traveling ,I have a huge passion for gardening and garden designing, and the biggest compliment I have received, was being chosen to be 1 of 11 homes on the garden tour in Brick.

Edith Vrabel
Hello, my name is Edie, I’m Owner/Master Stylist.
With over 40 years as a stylist ,my passion for hair grew as little girl, following my aunts around their hair salons. I love working with dimensional colors to make classic looks that turn heads in and out of the office .
I believe education is key to success! I attend classes to update my arsenal of knowledge several times a year. When I am not behind my chair updating someone's look you will find me spending time with my family, gardening , crafting , camping and traveling our beautiful country.

Alyssa
My name is Alyssa and I've been a licensed cosmetologist since 2009. I specialize in Barbering, haircutting, occasions styles, hair coloring, fashion colors, keratins, and custom colors. I have over 15 years of experience. I knew from the moment I stepped foot in my cosmetology classroom that this would be my passion. I started out at the mall at aesthetics hair salon, was there for about a year and then moved to Odyssey hair salon, which is where I built my clientele and was there for about seven years until we abruptly closed in 2018, which is when I found my forever home at The Blonde and The Brunette Hair Studio and have worked here for five years.
