Suzette

Suzette moved from San Francisco to NYC in 2005 to study color at one of the city’s top salons, Bumble & bumble. Having worked with some of the best editorial colorists in the industry, including Lena Ott and Aura Friedman, she has learned from the best. She took her skills to Mizu where she was on the team that set up the color education program in that salon. She loves to teach and mentor new colorists and continues to teach in salons in the city.

Specializing in balayage, Suzette is obsessed with natural looking color. She loves a ‘no maintenance’ look only requiring color when the client wants more, not because of a strong line of grow out. This also maintains the integrity of the hair from not over highlighting. She keeps up with the new trends in color ranging from beautiful natural color all the way to bright white blondes and unicorn hair.

What Suzette likes best about this industry is making people feel good. “When I see a smile on the client’s face during the blow dry, it makes me love what I do.” She’s a confidence builder, bringing out the beauty in others, and sharing some laughs along the way.

The senior stylist and founder of Numi Salon worked his way up the styling ladder at the renowned New York City-based John Frieda and Warren-Tricomi salons, where he often tamed celebrity tresses. Thanks to his prestigious training, he’s able to take big hair ideas and put them into a small salon with great service.

“A client can come in unhappy with how he or she looks, and I can change that in an hour. I love that.”
