CUT • COLOR • EXTENSIONS • KERATIN
I grew up being obsessed with haircuts. From my dad cutting my hair in the bathroom, to getting matching buzzed cropped cuts with my mom courtesy of a salon in San Francisco Chinatown, I learned early on how a haircut could make you feel. I was a wild child with razors and thinning shears. Going to cosmetology school felt like a no brainer.
I am quick to (mentally) say yes to almost any color request, I believe anyone can have bangs, and not much beats a thorough and collaborative consultation.
In the salon, I love doing heavy foil work (think 1 day dark to blonde transformations), bangs bangs bangs, and layers of any length.
On my days off, I am currently still in the salon! We are undergoing a rebrand! I hope you love! Ask me about my free time in about 3 months 😉
You can have me do your do in either Brooklyn or San Francisco!

Although also proficient with shears, razor cuts are among some of her favorite things to do behind the chair. Others include cutting bangs, wavy and curly hair, and haircut corrections. She mainly focuses on rich hues and dimensional blondes for color work but loves to open it up to fun colored hair!

CUT SPECIALIST
My cutting journey began when I was 5 and chopped my waist length hair off while my parents weren’t looking. My mom quickly got used to me changing my hair every month, and prefers it to me using all her Aqua Net as a kid. Since then, I would say I have crafted my cutting skills. I began my career in clipper cutting 14 years ago in Seattle, Washington, then moving onto cutting all lengths.
My work is inspired by film and music mostly, especially obsessed with the clean, proper aesthetic of 60’s hair and the grungy, messy, lived in, wild hair of the 70’s. If I could have anyone’s hair from that era it would be Patti Smith’s hair in her Chelsea Hotel photoshoot.
Lived-in styles that work for air drying and easy maintenance is my specialty but I love doing shags, clipper cuts, avant-garde cuts, bobs, gender affirming cuts, and large makeovers. When I’m not in the salon you can find me working on my art, spending time with my 16 year old cat, rollerskating, catching the latest horror movie, record shopping, antiquing, or at a local show.
