Hi! I’m Monique. I’m from Santa Cruz California but moved to Savannah Georgia in 2012 where I decided to take my life long love for “playing salon” more seriously and attend cosmetology school. I graduated and became a master cosmetologist in 2014 where I started my career at a Paul Mitchell color salon focusing on continuing education. In 2016, we welcomed my son into our lives and I decided to take a break from work to move our little family back to the west coast.

I moved to Portland in 2021 and was lucky enough to have the incredible opportunity to assist and learn razor cutting techniques in a one on one setting from the amazing Gabriela Pieroni. I am truly so grateful to Gabriela for sharing her knowledge of razor cutting all hair types and styles from beautiful long wavy shags to adorable little French bobs. Over the time I have spent with Gabriela, I have realized my love for cutting hair and decided to focus my heart and energy into the art of cutting. Creating effortless, lived in, low maintenance hair is truly my dream! Thank you for getting to know a little about me, I look forward to meeting and getting you closer to your dream hair!
