About Donnie

Warm welcome. Straight answer.

Donnie brings Southern hospitality to a New York standard of work.

You will feel looked after, and you will always know what he thinks.

One pair of hands

No handoff in the middle.

Donnie works as a hybrid stylist because hair does not divide itself into departments.

He considers color, cut and texture together, then does the work himself.

The conversation is plain. If a reference will not work with your hair, schedule or upkeep, he will say so—and show you what will.

The chair is in Norwalk, Connecticut. The standard came up through New York. The welcome came from farther south.
