Hey Future Friend!
My journey began as a high school student in East Lansing, Michigan more than 30 years ago as a punk kid doing mohawks, kool-aid color and whatever else I could dream up on kids in the neighborhood. Despite a few angry parents, I was hooked and under the mentorship of the stylist that cut my hair( yes....I did have hair at one time) a career was born. What a ride it's been!
Over the past three decades I have been blessed with owning two successful luxury salons, employing, training and mentoring hundreds of Hairdressers, traveling coast to coast teaching, working as a Salon Consultant, working on fashion shows and photoshoots, studying under the best in the industry, and most importantly - making thousands of women and men fall in love with their hairstyle and color.
After several years working as a business consultant, assisting salon owners and stylists in growing their businesses, I am thrilled to be back behind the chair and doing what I love. My style has evolved since my punk days. While punk, 70s rock, and current street fashion is still a major influence, my esthetic leans towards sophisticated, precisely cut styles with a rock-n-roll edge. Think cool pixies with lots of texture, modern layers, shags and bobs that move and frame perfectly. All with a color customized to your unique style.
Let's get something on the books to discuss how I can make your hair vision a reality! Consultations are always complimentary!
If you want a PERFECT cut that is both great on you and manageable look no further than Doug - the day I found him was a game changer. I myself did not realize what a difference a precision cut made (no such thing as a bad hair day) until I lived in the UK and became accustomed to Vidal Sassoon services. After returning to the US it took me a few years to find a Stylist/Artist who was as detailed, focused and spent the time Doug takes with each client. Not to mention Doug always makes me laugh; although he is highly talented he does not take himself too seriously.
I love this cut! There’s no doubt that this is Doug’s passion because he takes his time to make sure every hair is cut and styled just right. I never thought I could pull off a pixie style like this, but he somehow made me look years younger! So happy and looking forward to the next!
I went to Doug asking for a fun cut and for a color refresh that would look good while growing out highlights. Well, he listened and delivered! I have had bob haircuts before but Doug’s cut is next level! He added fun texture to my super fine hair while also giving it sassy, swingable body! And the color he chose gives my natural color just the right degree of warmth to brighten up my style! I am beyond pleased!
