Hey, I’m Penelope.
Welcome!
My styling philosophy is an extension of my human one: make it affirming, make it effortless, make it beautiful.
I pride myself on customer service (a holdover from many, beloved years spent working in the restaurant industry), and I use my strong communication skills to help me create made-to-wear haircuts that complement your individuality.
While well-versed in all haircuts and styles, I have a soft spot for low-fuss short cuts, precision bobs, and layered shags that look as good air-dried as they do with a blow out. I love passing on tips and tricks to empower you to style your hair with confidence, and I really love to see you smile.
I’m a graduate of the prestigious Toni & Guy Academy (2006), and I spent the last 12 years cutting my chops at the equally celebrated Sam Brocato Salon in SoHo.
Some other fun stuff:
My idea of perfect happiness is…
Waking up without an alarm, a sunny day at the beach, a joint, and a meal shared with friends (or, even strangers).
My greatest extravagance is…
My cats, Kevin & Dion, and good Champagne!
When I’m not working, I’m…
Seeing live music!
I’m currently listening to…
Watching…
The Great Pottery Throwdown and Succession
Eating…
My fave slice at My Little Pizzeria on Court Street in Brooklyn
My motto is…
“The bad news: nothing lasts forever. The good news: nothing lasts forever.”
