An inspiration nourished by travel

This openness to the world has allowed him to perfect a plural technique, where every detail counts. Hairstyle then becomes a quest for meaning and expression. He draws his inspiration from his travels around the world, where he explores different hair cultures. “It’s fascinating to see how much beauty revolves around hair. Everyone pays attention to it, but culturally, we don't have the same way of treating the subject in the four corners of the world. It pushes you to reinvent yourself every day. »
A precise technique for ideal naturalness
His method, forged by fifteen years of experience and his insatiable curiosity, transforms each cut into living art. “I imagine each cut as a sculpture that I work on strand by strand”he confides with passion.

His approach: the quest for naturalness. “I try to work the hair in its most natural fall, whether it is straight or curly. » Thus, he allows his clients to restyle their hair at home, without difficulty: the result of a true artist.
