Hair that moves like silk.

I build secure, scalable and modern software on the cloud. Passionate about solving problems and delivering impactful results.

Shape. Shine. Movement.Studio philosophy
01 / The signature

Soft structure, sharp instinct.

I'm a Software Developer with hands-on experience designing, building and shipping products end-to-end. I love turning complex problems into simple, reliable solutions.

01 · CONSULT

Listen before I lift the scissors.

A focused consultation turns “I want a change” into a clear shape, maintenance plan and finish that suits the client.

02 · SHAPE

Movement over bulk.

Layering, weight removal and contouring are balanced to make hair move naturally instead of looking engineered.

03 · COLOR

Dimension that catches light.

From lived-in brunettes to luminous blondes, color is placed to complement the haircut and grow out gracefully.

BalayageGlossColor melt
04 · FINISH

Silk without the stiffness.

The final look is polished with touchable texture, controlled shine and a finish clients can recreate at home.
