CURL/TEXTURE SPECIALIST, She/Her.

Tues/Wed/Thurs

Born and raised in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, Nathalie’s aesthetic is heavily influenced by Seattle’s grunge scene. She appreciates easy, wash and go styles that are cut to your natural growth and hair fall. Proficient in razor and scissor cuts, Nathalie considers herself a master in her craft. Thoroughly loving to work with any and all hair textures.

Since being in NYC Nathalie has had the pleasure of working both behind the chair as well as styling for editorial and commercial campaigns. She has been published online and in magazines such as Elle, Bustle, SugarPop, Feroce, and Raw.

Nathalie opened her own Salon Suite in 2022, and by 2024 launched Kinetic. In her off time you can find her with her nose in a book, enjoying Williamsburg with her dog Joey, or singing to her hearts content at some karaoke dive.

EXPERT STYLIST, She/Her.

Thurs & Every Other Saturday

Born and bred outside Cleveland, Ohio, Kate’s been in the salon industry for over 20 years and a stylist in NYC since 2005. Her speciality is low maintenance haircuts and color. Ready-to-wear hair for city life. 

Kate’s approach is honest, realistic, intuitive yet technical. Her focus is on easy, adaptable styles which are age-confident and inclusive. She always considers the natural state of the hair and honors the details that complement each individual. She’s been told her haircuts "plan for the future while cutting in the present". While haircutting is her thing, she’s also experienced with hair coloring and various hair coloring techniques and will explore the best options for your hair, upkeep and lifestyle.

When she’s not focusing on hair, you can find her hanging out with her very rambunctious Brussels Griffon, Igor. As a Gen-Xer and a recovering goth kid, she has a penchant for nostalgia and all things strange. Weird movies specifically from the 70's -90's and anything set in NYC is a must see for Kate.

It is important to Jessica to create a safe space for everyone involved, encouraging creative ideas to flow.

In her free time she enjoys spending time with her pup Vex, adventuring in the woods, going to gigs, binging horror and sci-fi movies and yappin’ with friends!

Meet Gabby, a girl from Kentucky who always knew she would end up on a coast.

Seamless grow out and longevity of the haircut is always Gabby’s main goal.

Her skills are not only limited to cutting, Gabby is also involved in editorial & commercial styling. When she is not behind the chair, she’s probably on set, on location or styling for a wedding!

SHAGS, CURLS, STRAIGHT RAZOR CUTS, She/Her.

Thurs, Fri & Every Other Saturday

Once a design student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Jess Rizzo decided she needed to take her artistic skills to the next level. Six months into a move to Philadelphia, she decided to attend the Jean Madeline Aveda Institute to study cosmetology in 2018.

Since then, Jess has taken on the challenge of design in a three dimensional space, viewing every haircut as its own sculpture. More specifically, what Jess loves most about hair is that it is a collaboration between the stylist and the client. She does what she can to address each client’s specific needs. Her specialty includes razor cut shags, precision cuts and curly haircutting. She will stop at nothing to perfect her craft.

In her free time she enjoys thrifting and spending time with her cat Marni.

JUNIOR STYLIST, He/Him.

Fri/Sat/Sun

Elias Lin has been doing hair passionately since he was 6, giving Barbies mullets before they were cool. Professionally, he’s been cutting hair since 2021 after moving here to Brooklyn and deciding to combine that passion with professional training from Empire Beauty School. 

Elias’s cutting style is very intuitive, working with your favorite facial features and uniqueness over trends or what tradition says is “right” for you. Feeling like an outsider in typical salon spaces is something Elias is familiar with as a trans person, and has led him to operating in small spaces that allow his relationships with his clients to grow and his community to feel seen. 

When not behind the chair he spends time with his cat, French Press, and gives back to the community through pro-bono haircut events.

But it's not just about the hair – it's about the experience. Ally prioritizes a safe, inclusive space where everyone's voice is heard and you leave with everything you wanted from your cut or color experience.

SALON MANAGER, Good Girl/Mamas.

Joey is a 6 year old bundle of absolute joy. She has been joining her mom Nathalie at the salon since she was a pup!

Mostly she loves to curl up in her chair, take lots of naps & occasionally get up for a water break.

If it’s chilly in the salon, or you seem to be having a bad day, she may try to squeeze into your lap for a pet and a snuggle.

When she’s not in salon she enjoys making sure her mom slows down and smells the smells with her on long walks. She also loves the dog park, cheese balls from The Levee and taking up the whole bed.

*Joey is usually in salon Tues/Wed/Thurs if you would like to see her during your appointment!
