Heather’s Favorite Products: Texturizing products similar to Oribe “Dry Texturizing spray” and R+co “Trophy” to give my Roots a boost and movement throughout my ends.
Oribe “Air Style” cream to keep my waves bouncy and shiny. Iles “Curl Revive” to encourage and refresh my natural wave. Bumble&Bumble “Thickening Spray Pre-Styler” To create a voluminous blow dry. Reverie “Mare Mediterranean Salt Spray” because it smells divine and locks my look into place.
Heather found her inspiration for hair styling through runway fashion, wedding up-styling, and from combining vintage and modern looks. She has always taken pride in creating empowering looks for women and classic cuts on men.
She began her education journey at a salon in Napa, California. During that time she realized not only her passion for cutting and styling hair, but for hair coloring. From Napa she went to Barrow Salon in San Francisco to study under the founder Michelle Snyder, best know for her precision and razor cuts. Heather spent 5 years perfecting her blow drying and cutting techniques. With the help of Michael Forrey she enhanced her men’s cuts while staying close to hair coloring by assisting lead colorists, Marcy Harmon and Eileen McCarthy. Heather has experience with various product lines including Oribe, Bumble&Bumble, and R+co. She works with all hair textures and hair types while taking a personal interest in each and every client.
