MUA of the Year

A quiet perfectionist who lets the work speak. Won three regional battles in the last two years and mentors up-and-coming apprentices on the side.

Bridges classic technique with modern editorial style. Featured in two national trade publications and travels for education across New England.

Runs a full-service studio with an emphasis on client experience — every appointment is a full reset. Deeply active in shop-owner mentorship circles.

Third-generation industry pro. Blends heritage craft with the newest tools and constantly pushes the room forward with fresh cuts, color and technique.

Ten years behind the chair with a signature approach to sculpted fades. Trains a growing team and gives back through free cuts for local youth every month.
