A Note From The Owner
I've been in the hair industry for over 32 years - and I love it more than ever.
I created this space not to run a salon, but to give myself room to breathe as an artist, to paint hair.
Hair is my canvas, and colour is my language.
I'm obsessed with the colour wheel and the way it allows me to manipulate tone and mood.
Education is my fuel - I've studied in Sweden, Italy, London, North Yorkshire, Los Angeles, SOHO NYC just to name a few places, and I'm constantly seeking out artists around the globe to learn from and be inspired by.
I built this space to create.
I don't want to be the salon that just hires people to fill chairs. I want to bring people in to work alongside me who are growing, evolving, and becoming experts in their niche.
I'm not looking to build a staff - I'm building a community of like minded experts. A space where people can come to expand their minds, their crafts, and their soul.
I just happen to have a studio big enough to share with people I admire.
Outside of the studio, I'm a traveler and a collector of beauty. I've lived in multiple countries and states, always practicing, always evolving. This industry has been my life and I don't see myself stepping away anytime soon...or later. Only stepping away long enough to feed my mind cultures and inspirations.
I've been slowly swimming my way through the beaches of the West Indies, visiting museums around the globe and recently falling in love with the Glyptotek in Kobenhavn and Leighton House in London, soaking in live music every chance I can get, and studying the fabrics on the runways by fashion designers big and small.
Fashion, design, art, and hair is my world, my obsession - it's all connected to me.
And every part of it finds its way back behind my chair.
My newest passion is Head Spa - a ritual that has brought a whole new dimension to my work. It fills me with so much purpose to offer something so healing and intentional. I am in love with this practice, and I only see it becoming a bigger part of the way I serve my clients moving forward.
If you're here, I hope you feel the difference.
This isn't just a salon.
It's my creative sanctuary.
