NYC based hair stylist specializing in custom color and haircutting. I’m passionate about customization when it comes to your dream hair color, from lived in balayage to blonding to rich red-heads. The health and integrity of your hair is always my top priority, and I put my heart and soul into every client that sits in my chair. I want your time in my studio to be the very best part of your day.
Within one week of starting cosmetology school I knew it was what I was meant to do. I love creatives and abstract learners. Hair just made sense to me. 23 years later I’m still standing behind my chair, a full heart and gratitude for the connections I’ve made.
A specialist in custom hair color and haircutting, I’m not satisfied unless I am delivering on my client’s goals while also maintaining the health and integrity of their hair. In 2021 I decided to open a small space of my own where my sole focus could be delivering amazing hair in a space where I could curate the vibes and ensure not just my own peace but my client’s as well.
When I am not working in and on my business you can find me at home cooking and taking care of 3 amazing humans . My husband and my kids are my purpose, my reason for wanting everything that is good in the world. The little team we have made is by far my most favorite accomplishment to date.
I do things a little differently at Art & Soul. When you walk in, I want you to feel the energy shift and feel confident that I respect and value the exchange we are going to share. My goal is for you to leave with beautiful, healthy hair and a calm soul.
I provide only the best in luxury services and quality products available, nothing less. Transformation and customization is what you can expect. I truly believe that luxury hair color doesn't have to feel stuffy or out of reach, it lives in all the small details and the attention I provide during your appointment. My goal as your hairstylist is to create your color expression to fit your lifestyle.
There is no sacrificing hair integrity for a color. I will create a color that you can love at any phase! Healthy hair is beautiful hair!
I will always lead with my love for the art of hair and my joy lives in helping
you see it for yourself while in my chair.
I will always be transparent from the moment you fill out your form. There are no hidden costs or expectations during your service. Your hair goals are my priority and I will not promise something I cannot deliver.
This option is for the client who is wanting a pop of brightness and glow in their frame.
For the returning client who needs just a pick me up. Placement will vary from person to person based on starting point and overall look.
For the returning client who is looking to maintain their look. With this placement we will address the most impactful portions of the hair to maintain dimension and overall color balancing
For first time guests as this allows us to deliver the works and address the entire canvas and create a new look.

Custom color involves combining multiple techniques for a modern, lived-in look. Custom color requires a multifaceted approach to execute the client's desired look.

These services are booked a la carte and do not include glossing, treatments, a haircut or finished style.
Prior to your first service, all new clients will need to complete the new client intake form and will receive a complementary virtual consultation to discuss your goals and ensure that we are a good fit.
