Services

One chair, three specialties

The whole picture stays with one person, from the first conversation to the last look.

01 / Color

Color

Lived-in, not high-maintenance

Dimension that grows out with some grace. Donnie works with your natural color, your routine and the time you actually have.

See this service

02 / Cut

Cut

Shaped to how you wear it

A precise cut built around the way your hair falls and the way you live—not just the day you leave the chair.

See this service

03 / Texture

Texture

Curl that gets understood

Pattern, density and movement read properly. No guessing, no forcing your hair into a shape it does not want.

For stylists

The D-Ray Method

Hands-on classes for stylists who want to create a signature look and keep clients in their chair. Learn to read color, cut and texture together, so the client stays in your chair and the work stays yours.
