Precision! Quality! Perfection!
Big words I know; hardly ever used in the beauty industry.
Still, I try to define my work this way. Moving to the US about 20 years with no language skills I had to depend on my professional skills from day one. I found out very quickly that the language of fashion is universal, and quality is appreciated everywhere.
To fulfill all three requirements in unison is what motivates me in setting you apart from your peers. This does not exclusively mean the latest hairstyle, but one which is customized for your hair and lifestyle.
My pedigree (3rd generation in the industry) and extensive training in Munich (Wella), Paris (Alexandre de Paris), Hamburg (L’Oreal) and London (Sassoon) have ensured that despite all the exposure and training it is important to understand the concept of narrowing ‘it’ down for the individual customer.
To reflect this philosophy I specialize in Haircutting and all kinds of Hair Coloring services, including color correction. 5 years ago I added customized Smoothing Treatments (Brazilian Blowouts etc.) to my service spectrum
