Meet Sarah
Sarah Ariel has been a licensed cosmetologist since 2000. She began her career at Chicago’s most prestigious salons as a haircutting specialist. Globally trained with the industry’s elite Sarah perfected her dry cutting method and began educating with nationally known brands for her peers on staff.
Creating shapes that fall to complement the client’s features and grow out effortlessly are her specialty. But what if they don’t have enough density or length for the style they desire? Sarah herself experienced this when she struggled to grow out a short haircut. She set out to learn and master multiple methods of hair extensions to truly achieve the desired look.
One thing she saw missing in all of these programs was a solid foundation for cutting and blending them- her favorite part! Where the client could begin to see the magic happen! So many stylists new to learning extensions and those who have mastered the art of placement and color wanting more for this important piece of the transformation. She saw a need to share and wants to make the cutting segment of this luxury service seamless and simple.
She also offers 1:1 hands on education in private and group settings at her extension studio in Laguna Beach, CA.
