Owner, Master Cutter + Master Colorist

As the owner of Modern Salon and a Master Cutter and Colorist with over 27 years of experience, I bring a deep passion and unparalleled expertise to my craft. My journey began training under some of the most renowned names in the hair industry, where I mastered advanced cutting and coloring techniques that have shaped my artistic approach. From the fast-paced salons of New York City to building a devoted clientele in Larchmont, NY, where I spent 25 years refining my skills, I have dedicated my career to creating personalized, transformative experiences for every client.

At Modern Salon, my mission is to blend timeless techniques with modern trends, ensuring each look enhances my clients’ natural beauty and individuality. I take pride in staying ahead of industry innovations, offering expert styling that is both sophisticated and effortless.

Beyond the salon, I find inspiration in traveling the world with my family, embracing new cultures and experiences that fuel my creativity. I also have a deep love for English Bulldogs, who bring joy and warmth to my life.

With passion, precision, and artistry, I have made Modern Salon a destination for those seeking an elevated salon experience—one where expertise meets creativity, and every client leaves feeling confident, beautiful, and truly transformed.
