What is your cutting style?
Since I started cutting, softer more flattering outlines, with stronger shapes have been my facination. About a 15 years ago, I used only scissors. Antoine Spinelli influenced my adapting the clipper, which relaxed my overly geometric thinking.. Then worked with Ron Lee, Architects & Heros, learned some great scissor texturizing techniques, as well developing a better eye. Nowerdays, a straight-edge razor is my preferred tool. After some hesitation from razor-phobia, my clientele seem unanimous, they love uncut precision given by the razor.

How much time do you allow for a haircut?
Cuts normally take a full hour, either for women or men, especially for first time clients. This makes it harder to get an appointment, but you can't rush creativity. It doesn't work like that.

What is your favorite haircut?
I don't have a favorite cut, but do enjoy taking a client to "their" next level. We have all been places, but all still want to go places. Hair design evolves into a more satisfying result each time. The same hairstyle, can have a thousand inclinations, at least...

How often should I get my hair cut?
Men should generally get cuts every 4-6 weeks. Women should get trims every 6-8 weeks for short hair, 7-10 weeks for shoulder lengths, long hair shouldn't go more than 12 weeks with out trimming the ends. The main reason is to reduce the risk of getting split ends. Split ends move up the hair shaft faster than the hair grows from the root. This means that your won't get rid of them unless you cut a lot ot hair, so get those trims and have healthy beautiful hair.

Is it better to cut hair wet or dry?
Generally freshly washed hair yeilds the best results. Razor cutting must be done on wet hair, though after blow drying or allowing to dry naturally during the cut, a second look at the hair's movement, shape and texture should be done.
