Join My New Wash Community
I love New Wash, and it works for every single client when used properly. I've never made much money or really cared about product commissions, but during covid, I had to figure out how to support my salon and things have really changed for me and my stylists with this company. If you want to know how to do it, it's super easy. Just sign up through my link here and they will send you a free bag! New Wash is toxic-free and everyone wants to be more eco-friendly.

The Tools I Use
The razor has a bad reputation because stylists often use it to scrape down the outside of the hair without applying any tension. However, when used properly, with the edge of the blade and a carving motion instead of scraping, the razor creates seamless layers that complement the client's natural texture. The result is a lived-in, easy, and stylish look that exudes a laid-back vibe.Description goes here
A little about how I got started, and how teaching and giving back to the community has always been important to me…
Our family didn’t have a lot of money growing up, and I started cutting my own hair as a kid trying to make a fashion statement, developing a knack for face-framing styles. Teaching myself how to cut hair, it lead me to a career as a professional stylist where I worked independently for five years before opening Edo Salon in San Francisco.
Using a straight razor, I earned a reputation for organic, free-hand shags and delicate, face-framing layers, and was fortunate enough to be featured in the New York Times, Forbes, and CNN. Currently, I work as a full time educator, following in the footsteps of my parents who were both teachers. I love the hair community, and I am so excited to be sharing with you my technique of "carving petals" into the hair to create the most romantic layers and face framing bits that I know your clients will love.
I offer a variety of ways for stylists to learn my techniques. My favorite way to teach is in person, on tour. If you’d like to host me at your salon, you can fill out a form here. Occasionally I teach live virtual classes and just recently I’ve launched my Stylist Series - online courses you can take to begin to learn about razor cutting, or to perfect a specific cut or shape. New classes will be released every few weeks, so make sure you’re signed up to my newsletter to get all the updates!
