The Dry Cut

I cut hair dry. If you wear your hair straight, I blow it smooth first. If you wear it curly or wavy, I wash and diffuse it, then cut your natural texture. Either way, I cut your hair the way you wear it, so you see every change as it happens.

I came to this work because I wanted haircuts to fit the lives people live. Every layer has a job. When you can see where a layer starts and stops, the cut needs more work. A seamless cut air dries well, and that is my goal for every client.

Before the scissors come out, we talk. I look at your hair, your last few cuts, and your week. Many clients arrive with thin ends from a long cut in the back or heavy spots behind the ears. I balance the density through the whole shape, so your cut sits right when you style it yourself in a few minutes.

My clients run businesses, lead teams, and manage family calendars. They want one haircut that holds up from a morning workout to a meeting to dinner, and they want it to look the same on Tuesday as it did in my chair.

I have cut and styled hair in San Francisco since 2013, and I work on editorial shoots, campaigns, and runways. I also have a background in data analysis and I am building a career in product management. Every client conversation works like a user interview. I listen for the problem, design the solution, and check that it works after you leave.
