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!
