Cheryl McMahon, Founder

For more than 25 years, Cheryl McMahon's unique styling talent has been in demand for her high level of professionalism that recognizes the unique beauty in each client. 

​

Cheryl's eclectic clientele, including some who travel from as far as California and London, are a testament to her outstanding color and cutting talent and technique, which is often sought out for her styling expertise during Fashion Week in New York and Los Angeles, and for local and national stage and television productions, magazine and promotional photo shoots.

​

As a stylist, past platform stylist, and educator, Cheryl studied with, and taught for, leading beauty professionals including Vidal Sassoon, John Sahag, Toni and Guy, Goldwell, Integra Perming Solutions and Davines.  Cheryl is constantly training to master the latest styles and techniques and color trends. Her freelance work includes styling for news broadcasts, pilots and television shows with ABC and CBS TV at West 57th Street in New York

​

Cheryl's expertise and absolute knowledge in customizing individualized colors–be it bright, glowing blondes, cool brunettes, or crispy reds–compliments each client's skin tone and personality and avoids brassy results with naturally refined undertones and strategically placed high and low lights where the sun would naturally reflect from the crown. Be it an ombre, balayage, a complete hair color transformation, or fixing the worst color mistakes, Cheryl's unique knack for troubleshooting assures that the end results will be a beautiful aura of colors cascading from your crown.

Cheryl's versatile cutting expertise includes dry cutting, wet to dry, and razor, with a distinctive eye she creates low maintenance - high impact haircuts. Strategically placed snips and pieces are created to accentuate bone structure and facial features. Between cuts, clients do not require any styling skill or a lot of products as the cut is designed to evolve and compliment grow-out in between appointments. 

​

Cheryl takes great pride in her commitment to using earth and animal friendly products and services that avoid harsh chemicals and promote sustainable beauty–creating good karma for her clients and the planet. Her generosity of spirit is all about giving back to the community, (more below)
