I love cutting all lengths and textures, but my sweet spot is working with short and mid-length hair. Building strong geometrical shapes is my love language- then, deconstructing and texturizing so that the shape works well day to day without too much fuss is my superpower.

Maybe you have read and bought into the post pandemic demise and retail departure from San Francisco- and you would not be wrong…. However, I am still here! Holding it down for Union Square, and not going anywhere. Sure, no killing time at Anthro, or returns to Nordstrom. I miss those places too- but let’s find some goodness and support the local and small businesses that stayed loyal to downtown San Francisco.
