One Chair · San Francisco

BUILT,not styled.

Razor cuts and lived-in color, built with the same deliberate edge as a concrete gallery wall. Every head that leaves is a signed piece.

The Razor Edge

"I don't cut hair. I edit it — the same way a sculptor removes everything that isn't the piece."

Lived-In Color

Color As Tone

"Color should age like denim — better at six weeks than day one. I build the fade into the formula."

Shear Studio
Signature Work

Every head
a signed piece.

Selected work from the chair. Each cut is built around the person sitting in it — not the reference image they brought.

Lead Stylist · Shear Studio

I trained in London, cut my teeth in Paris, and came back to build something quieter. The chair is always the same chair. The work is never the same twice.

I take on twelve clients a month. Not more. The work requires presence, and presence can't be scheduled at scale.
