Jason Backe Interviews With Marta Walsh
When I began blogging about 5 years ago now I wanted to interview Ted Gibson of the Ted Gibson Salon. For some reason it never happened. However, to my luck, years later I managed to meet Mr Ted Gibson at his hair care product launch & Vanity Fair party in New York City. Sweet destiny. Moreover, over these years during my visits to New York Fashion Week I got to know his partner, Celebrity Colorist, and co-owner of Ted Gibson Salon Jason Backe. This duo is the Rock Stars of hair styling, coloring, and hair salon business. Few weeks ago Jason and I met in Phoenix at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa one of my favorite places in the world where we got to catch up on life and business. I would like to share with you my Q&A slash interview with the fabulous Mr Backe.

Marta Walsh: Where do you call home?
Jason Backe: I am a native Minnesotan – a good Midwestern boy – but now I call New York City home. When did your fascination with hair and hair styling begin? I have loved it my whole life, my mom recently gave me a picture of me giving my younger sister a perm when I was about 7 years old. I didn’t make it a career until about 15 years ago.
Rihanna’s Hair Color
Celebrities like Rihanna are revamping their style with a bold burst of contrasting color. The instant, hair makeover is a perfect way to accessorize your look for a night out on the town. “Because not every girl is ready to commit to high-contrast color permanently, trying it on with temporary color is a great option,” says co-owner of Ted Gibson Salon, Jason Backe. “A surefire way to get the look at home is with the TouchBack Marker, a mistake-proof formula that delivers true, temporary hair color instantly.”
TouchBack’s pocket-sized marker makes for easy application when you want it, where you want it. Unlike mascara, crayons, gels, and powders, TouchBack won’t flake or rub off with brushing. TouchBack bonds to the hair and stays true until shampooed out.

Sought-after colorist and co-owner of the Ted Gibson Salon, Jason Backe, will serve as Creative Consultant to TouchBack, Streekers and ColorMark, acting as a voice of the temporary hair color brands and a liaison to both the media and consumers. In his capacity as Creative Consultant, Jason will bring his salon expertise to the at-home color formulas, sharing tricks and techniques for achieving salon-quality results with the complete range of products.

“I’m so excited to be the voice of products that empower women to be their own colorists between salon visits,” says Jason. “TouchBack, Streekers and ColorMark all give women the ability to experiment and play, which is what hair color is all about. When used correctly, these formulas can really add dimension and give hair new life.”
Over the course of the past decade, Jason has established himself as one of New York’s most in-demand color artists. From editors and models to actress and executives, clients flock to Jason for his chic, complementary color. Jason has brought his attention to detail and artistic expression to high-profile clients like Ashley Greene, Anne Hathaway, Lake Bell, Rene Zelweger, Elettra Weideman, Idina Menzel and Amerie as well as campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Chanel and Versace.
