Martin Rodriguez

Martin Rodriguez is a Master Hair Colorist in Fountain Valley, serving Orange County clients since 1984 and bringing more than 40 years of professional experience. The WorldWide HairColorists Association awarded him the Master Hair Colorist title in 2023 after practical and oral testing.

He focuses on custom color correction, including banding, brassiness, box dye buildup, uneven tone and over-processed color. His balayage work covers dimensional brunette, lived-in blonde and face-framing highlights, and he also works on dimensional blonde, highlights and corrective blonding. Brunette color includes mocha, chocolate, caramel and red-violet tones, and he offers custom red and copper color. Grey blending includes transitions from permanent color to natural grey, and he offers AirTouch highlighting and lived-in blondes. AirTouch suits clients after low-maintenance blondes that grow out naturally, and he tailors each service to hair density, texture, face shape and haircut. Women's haircuts include bobs, lobs, A-line cuts, pixies and shag-inspired layers, and men's precision haircuts are also part of the work.

Each correction plan opens with a consultation and tests porosity, strength and underlying pigment before staged correction and toning. Blonding avoids heat, working at room temperature, with each formula weighed to keep results consistent, and balayage is hand-painted and placed around each client's goals. He performs every service personally and reviews color history before working.
