Luxury Hair Extensions

I am a NYC native, born and raised in The Bronx, NY. Since being licensed to create in 2010, I’ve been featured in Vogue Korea, Seventeen magazine, and MTV online.

I’ve managed one of NYC’s biggest hair salons for 5 years and provided business training to multiple hairstylist who are now independent business owners themselves. Growing up, I was so intrigued by how a simple change in hairstyle would bring out instant confidence and gratitude in my friends and family.

Ever since, I’ve been obsessed with transforming every texture into a work of art. Whether you have fine, coarse, or curly hair, I create a custom color for each client, while catering to all their hair care needs. PHD Studio is a NYC based salon specializing in extreme blonding, lived in color, corrective color, balayage and high impact fashion tones. We are obsessed with transforming every texture into a work of art. Come let us paint the hair of your dreams!

Happy 2 Year anniversary PHD Studio!! 

I am so proud of what I have built. Creating your own brand is harder than anyone can imagine. You expect people you’ve known, clients you’ve had to support your dreams. The truth is, they all dont.

However, you do end up building your very own community of ride or die clients, business owners
And support teams and that makes this whole thing worth while. I am so proud that doing me created such a vibe! One filled with new opportunities, and an experience I could never give anywhere else! This is 2 years baby. We are here, we are talented, and we are THRIVING!!
