I’ve been working in the industry since 2013. I studied at the Aveda Institute in Washington DC, & I believe in continuing education & working with fellow artists as often as possible. My mentors include Jayne from Edo Salon, April Kayganich, & Sunnie Brook! I consider myself a cutting specialist & have worked as a color educator.
I love to do razor cutting, curly cuts, & creating shapes using hair. Haircolor is another passion of mine, with a focus on lived-in looks and customization. I’m all about hair health & realistic, achievable-at-home care.
I’m inspired by old loves, the natural world, horses, Goddard’s films (& his muses), & Greek mythology.
Originally from Maryland, I’m not a Pittsburgh native, but I’ve fallen in love with this community.
My other loves are the woods, my cat, family, & laughing as much as possible.

I’ve been working behind the chair for about 10 years, & relocated to Pittsburgh from Phoenix, Arizona, in February 2021.
I’m inspired by nature, international travel, early rave culture, B-horror movies, & the more-than-occasional reality TV show.
I love to do balayage, blonding, corrective color, vivids, & clipper cutting.
When I’m not at work, I’m hanging out with my dogs, tending to my houseplants, cooking, & planning my next adventure.
I’m excited to explore Pittsburgh & meet new friends!

I have been working in the beauty industry for over a decade.
I find my greatest inspiration from nature. I love creating lived-in color from natural to vivids, and easy to maintain haircuts that grow out seamlessly between visits.
I crave education and love learning in this ever-changing industry. This year I took a deep dive into curly education + razor cutting to learn how to create more softness and movement in my haircuts.
When I’m not in the salon you can find me teaching yoga, cooking something delicious, or planning my next adventure.

I’m a fresh new baby stylist just starting in this industry, but I’ve loved hair since I can remember.
I’m from small town Ohio, but I’ve lived in Pittsburgh my whole adult life and I love this silly city very much.
All I really wanna do is make people feel the most like themselves, however that might look. So far, cutting is my strong suit. I love razor cutting and finding ways to accentuate natural textures. But I also love color and balayage and I’m eager to gain more experience there.
I’m inspired by my friends, freaky people, puppets, and hot goths.
In my free time you can catch me snuggled up with my hunny, eating some delicious dinner and watching my stories. Or loving on my friends, beating them at Pictionary, and talking about the universe.

I’ve been in the industry since 2017, when I attended the Aveda Institute in Indianapolis. As a Pittsburgh transplant I’ve worked behind the chair, as a bridal stylist, and most recently a cosmetologist and esthetician instructor.
I’m so excited to be behind the chair again. I love all things hair, but I especially look forward to big transformations. I love a killer short cut, a swishy little bob, and lived-in color that grows out well. Most importantly, I love the way that expression through hair can make someone feel like their most authentic self. I’m inspired by the earth, art, the people around me, and education.
When I’m not doing hair you’ll find me at home with my fiancée and our cats or somewhere out in nature. I love playing games with friends, painting or making something, and having a little treat.
I hope to meet you soon!

Based out of New York City and growing up on the east coast (NJ, NY, PA) I always found fashion to be about self-expression and not just about fulfilling societal standards. I take that sentiment with me when creating work with others. My goal is to help people break social norms so they can feel their best, truest, most confident self.
My specialties are precision cuts, highlights, and lived-in looks. For me, grow-out is just as important as the day you get your hair done.
I pull inspiration from the Bauhaus movement, daily meditation, textiles, and the part of my brain that doubts myself.
My work has been published in Paper and Ladygunn magazines.

She lives in Friendship with her amazing wife and some dying plants. Colleen is an editor and writer for The Hard Times satire site, as well as a digital artist who really needs to get some pieces finished. She's also the host of a very silly podcast about Dracula adaptations called Transylvaniacs.
