(310) 399-7313AboutAbout MeI've been in the beauty industry as a hairstylist and colorist for six years and am now working full time out of Urban Escape Salon, located on Abbot Kinney in Venice, CA. Upon graduating from the Aveda Institute New York, I started my career at Xena's Beauty Company in NYC's West Village, working as an assistant for over a year before growing into a full-time hairstylist, colorist and educator under the guidance of owner, head stylist and Framesi Lifetime Achievement Award honoree, Xena Parsons. During this time, I've been honored as Teammate of the Year for two consecutive years, consistently achieved high client retention records, entrusted to lead cut and color classes, and attained Master Colorist Certification for the Framesi color line. I also have experience as a stylist for weddings, fashion shows and photo shoots, and have worked with many different product lines including Pureology, Barex Italia, Aeto Botanica, TIGI, Aveda, and others.I believe that a great hairstylist is someone who is confident, compassionate, and honest with his or her clientele. I feel that I express those attributes as well as being dependable, dedicated and driven to achieve amazing results. It is my pleasure to go out of my way to treat each customer with kindness and consideration, and am my very best when given the opportunity to promote my passion for beauty. If you are looking for a hairstylist to deliver successful results, please don't hesitate to reach out to me through the contact form on this website and I would welcome a casual discussion to determine how I might be of service.

Framesi

Colure

FramesiWith products that guarantee the quality of effective service while strictly observing hair structure, Framesi's specialty lies in select and innovative raw materials and carefully balanced formulations. Each product is part of a complete method, which ensures that both hair and scalp are restored to their natural balance following technical treatment. This blend of quality and balance is the basis of my color and hair treatment regimen, for which I have attained Master Colorist certification and am proud to offer with all of my services.Framesi was founded in 1945 by Roberto Franchina who, initially with two partners, sold products ranging from talcum powder to brilliantine. Franchina then started to run the company on his own and moved into manufacturing - focusing in particular on hair care products - placing his laboratory in the hands of a pharmaceutical chemist. With time, Framesi expanded exponentially, gradually broadening its product range and reinforcing its nationwide sales network. In 1970 Framesi branched into colorings, proposing "the Italian way to color", which soon conquered foreign markets, especially North America. The number of products grew to meet every type of hair's need and became increasingly specialized. The late Seventies saw the launch of Italian Style Framesi, an interdisciplinary group that studies the latest trends in social behavior and fashions and designs its prêt-à-porter hairstyle collections accordingly. The group revolutionized hairdressing salons by providing hairstylists with an instrument that allows them to suggest a look that is sure to respond to their customers' needs.www.framesius.comOnestaOnestà Means Honesty.
