HAIR TRANSFORMATIONS SPECIALIST

Originally from Lazio in Italy, as a child, I was able to visit Rome regularly, and admire very closely the artworks created by Caravaggio, Raffaello and Michelangelo. These were life’s moments where I became passionate of colour textures, palette combinations, distributions of colour and shades together.

While at school I discovered Impressionism with Post- Impressionism and found my true vision for colour through artists like Monet, Cezanne, Van Gogh and their innovative way of painting to “impress” to create reactions in people through the use of vivid colours. Later on in life I discovered my interest for the punk movement, it influenced the music industry, subcultures, and fashion across the world. It’s revolutionary rebellion for self expression showed me that colours and shapes can be carried by people through hair, make up and clothing. It can be a part of someone’s identity, it can be bold, fierce and absolutely fearful.

While approaching the hair industry 18 years ago, I wanted to create unique hair colour formulations with latest trend haircuts that would represent a client’s empowerment, individuality and self expression, tailored to look high end. Exactly what I adore and specialise today: hair transformations. I love working together with the client’s imagination, it inspires me to create a new, bespoke vision for them.

From my upbringing in Rome surrounded by art, living in Brighton still continues to feed on my artistic identity with its colours, architecture and incredible Queer history. Here is where my lgbtiq+, non binary, trans community of eclectic people are the perfect canvas for me, as they are not defined by the conformity and they freely express their beautiful identities. Through my passion for self expression I have found my signature style: seamless colour diffusions, iconic bold tones with “head turning” haircuts.
