The Artist Behind
the Artistry

With over 25 years in the industry, I've had the privilege of styling some of the most recognizable faces in entertainment, fashion, and media.

My journey began at Bumble and Bumble in New York City, where I honed my craft and developed my signature approach to hair artistry. It was there that I learned that great hair isn't just about technique—it's about understanding each client's unique essence and translating that into a look that makes them feel extraordinary.

For 15 years, I served as the personal hairstylist to Kimora Lee Simmons, styling her for everything from magazine covers to red carpet events to her hit reality series "Life in the Fab Lane." During this time, I also designed hairpieces for a Disney line and created the signature bangs for a leading hair extension company—a design that's still sold today. For 17 years, I've been the go-to stylist for Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, keeping her camera-ready for Food Network, Today Show appearances, and magazine covers.

As a former Nioxin Influencer and dedicated educator, I stay on the cutting edge of the extension world by constantly certifying in the latest techniques. I specialize in K-tips, I-tips, micro-beaded extensions, sewn-in wefts, toppers, tape-ins, and custom-made pieces and wigs—ensuring every client gets a flawless, personalized result.

Today, I bring that same dedication to every client, whether it's a CEO preparing for a keynote, a bride on her wedding day, or a celebrity heading to the Emmys. I also work as a professional makeup artist, offering full glam services for those who want a complete transformation.

Choosing the Right Extensions for Clients

Selecting the perfect hair extensions is an art form — one that requires understanding each client's unique hair type, lifestyle, and goals. Here's how I ensure every client gets their ideal match:

Consider the Hair Type

Different hair types require different extensions. For clients with fine hair, lightweight extensions provide a seamless blend without weighing hair down. For those with thicker, coarser textures, more robust extensions ensure a flawless, natural integration.

Match the Color

Color matching is crucial for achieving a natural look. With access to the finest human hair in a wide range of shades, I personally hand-select each set to perfectly complement your natural color. When needed, extensions can be custom-colored and toned to create an undetectable blend.

Choose the Right Method of Application

From K-tips and I-tips to micro-beaded extensions, sewn-in wefts, tape-ins, and custom pieces — each method has its strengths. During your consultation, we'll determine which application suits your hair type, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.

Test and Perfect

Before committing to a full set, I always ensure the extensions blend perfectly with your natural hair — checking how they move, how they catch the light, and how they feel. The goal is extensions that look and feel like they're truly yours.

Transformations
