🖤 Structured Texture

Or as I like to call it. Structured Chaos

Anyone can hack away at hair—but real cutting takes intention. I work with the head shape, not against it, building texture that actually moves and grows out with flow.

It’s about having a plan of action: every snip has purpose. Texture isn’t random—it’s designed to support the cut, keep the shape alive, and make it better with time. Geometry comes into play too—shapes within shapes that compliment each other, coming together for a polished, effortless finish.

Thank you to everyone who helped / My clients in the States and my New Friends in Australia! Thank you for all the love! We did it together! We Got Models!

Bay Area, are you ready for @ernestomeneses on Jun15? Learn the cutting approach for creating a textured crown with length through the nape. Prefer a shorter look? Cut the nape tighter and it reads as a classic pixie. Leave it longer and it becomes a softer, modern mullet shape. We’ll break down clear sectioning, efficient layering patterns, and weight removal techniques so you can confidently adapt the haircut to different client preferences while maintaining balance and structure.

🖤 Paul

Paul and I met in Beverly Hills at Planet Salon— I had just been hired, and he was finishing his assistant program. I was immediately drawn to his dedication, talent, and the way he unapologetically stayed true to himself. His humor made those long assistant days so much better.

Even though our careers took us in different directions, I’ve always been one of his biggest fans. Watching him style some of my favorite celebrities has been so exciting— and seeing him continue to thrive is no surprise to anyone who knows him.

He even did Adrien Brody’s hair for his Best Actor win. I texted him that same day: “Congrats on your win!” 😉

Love you, Paul
