I specialize in curly hair management. I also love doing texture cuts, creative color and balayage. My work is based on a combination of problem solving, education and artistic vision; every service is a collaboration between stylist and client. Cruelty free products, gender-free pricing and fun included.

Located in Highland, NY.

We went a little wild with these highlights and that texture. Channeling some serious @shakira in this hair.

Color is a foundation of what I do, and of what I'm building. What colors are most powerful to you? Why is your 'favorite' color your favorite? Have you ever thought about why you love or don't love certain colors?
Turquoise is a favorite of mine. The Native American Indians, and before them the Tibetans, and before them the Egyptians were enamored by Turquoise and considered it to have great healing powers.
The healing powers of turquoise improve the mental state overall by increasing all of the following positive mental characteristics: serenity, creativity, empathy, positive thinking, sensitivity, intuition, happiness wisdom all of which result in a calmer state that leads to greater self-realization. 💙

I'm so excited to share my little, safe, creative space with you all. Thank you for all the support and excitement this past month. 💙

Can you get more volume and balanced shape without losing length? Yes, you can!
Blue came to me with a wealth of knowledge about her hair already, so first I learned from her. (No stylist knows your hair better than you do). Then, we worked out how we could shape her to better accentuate her gorgeous features, make her hair more versatile and keep her on the journey to longer and healthier curls. I taught her a few new things.
I'm always honored and grateful to be given the chance to be a part of a curly journey. This is my true passion, changing the salon experience for curlies. It's a creative collaboration between professional and client. It makes magic. 💙➿💥 Styled with @innersenseorganicbeauty Quiet Calm Curl Control and I Create Hold.

More volume, more definition, more fun. #rezocut

This week I said hello again to clients I cared for back in 2014, when they were fresh college students, finding their way.
Today I said goodbye to a client who has been with me since those #vassarcollege days, and who I'm lucky to call a friend too. Sometimes being a stylist is really hard, physically, mentally and emotionally, but it's always worth it because the people who come and go are a gift.
Thank you for your support and friendship @dianedoeslife. I wish you so much of everything you deserve. 💙🤗

Martha's big summer chop! Shorter, cooler and more playful. Still easy for a busy professional to tie up, and thanks to the versatility of #rezocut, can be worn on either side!
