With over a decade of experience behind the chair, Tyler is a passionate and highly skilled hairstylist known for delivering a personalized and transformative experience for every client. His specialties include blonding, highlights, balayage, blowouts, and tape-in extensions, along with stunning before-and-after transformations that leave clients feeling refreshed and confident.
Tyler began his career in Colorado Springs at a small local beauty school, where his love for the industry first took root. He later moved to San Diego, California, where he honed his craft by assisting four different stylists and training alongside industry leaders, including Masters of Balayage and Wheelhouse Salon in Orange County. During his formative years, he worked at Cristina Q Salon in La Jolla, which was proudly featured in the Best of La Jolla for its excellence in service and style.
Tyler’s work is deeply personal. After the passing of his mother three years ago, his biggest supporter, he went through a period of reflection and rediscovery. Inspired by clean beauty and the importance of health, he found new purpose in using non-toxic, natural products. He believes in the power of helping others become the best version of themselves, not just through great hair, but through care, intention, and a healthier approach to beauty.
