about

MEET THE FOUNDER ANYA KERNKE

With over 20 years experience in the hairdressing industry, I strive to provide an unmatched experience for my clients.

I value sustainability and safety at each stage of the process, so consciously choose to partner with professional products that are clean, toxin-free, and well-known for their care of the environment and its inhabitants— including you and I and my salon pup Bonnie @bonbon_minischnauzer.

Having previously owned a hair salon of which I was the founder and director of for nine years until successfully selling the brand in 2019, I have been lucky enough to enjoy many aspects the hairdressing industry has to offer. Some career highlights include assisting on the Kevin Murphy hair styling team at New York Fashion Week, assisting on the Vocé Haircare team at LA Fashion Week, collaborating with fashion photographer Mark Sullivan-Bradley on numerous shoots and being awarded the winner of the 2012 Business Achiever Award.
