Gwendolyn is a haircut/sculpting specialist. Her specialty is sculpting curly, wavy, fine, limp, frizzy, or hard-to-manage hair. She believes that whether the hair is worn curly, wavy, or straight, the cut should be able to support the hair's natural density and texture.

Her goal is to give every client an individualized style that looks good with minimal fuss and limited styling. Your everyday hairstyle should look great with minimal manipulation and take no longer than 10 minutes to style.

For styles that are exaggerated from the hair's natural texture, the cut itself should help minimize styling time.

Gwendolyn also offers complimentary clean-ups (bang trims and neck trims) in between cuts to keep you looking your best and prolong your haircut.
