I bring over 20 years of experience (and highly perfectionist tendencies!) to my work behind the chair. I love to mix precision with organic flow to give you a look that is easy yet elevated.

I design my cuts and color to last, with an easy grow-out that does not demand you return within a certain time frame.

While I enjoy working with all types of hair, I specialize in razor cuts, modern blonding and gray blending, and creating distinctive shapes that aren’t cookie-cutter.

Before moving to the Hudson Valley, I owned a salon in Columbus, Ohio for 17 years. Over the years, I’ve done extensive advanced training, including razor classes with Jayne Matthews and Bumble University.

When I’m not doing hair I love to garden, travel, and watch weird international documentaries. I’m an introvert, which can be unusual in this career, but I love the interesting, creative people I get to connect with behind the chair.

You appreciate good quality and aesthetics, and value working with experts who take their craft seriously.

Do any of these seem familiar?

— You love hair that can be tousled and touched and still look good, but yours just seems heavy, or has to lay a certain way.

— You see people with beautiful natural waves & curls and wonder how they get their hair to look like that, while you dread encountering any humidity.

— You love having highlights, but hate it when your hair gets fried or grows out with very noticeable roots.

No matter what your hair length or texture is, you will walk away from my chair with a balanced, effortless look that will grow out easily while expressing your style.
