Rod has spent his career teaching with and learning from some of the best in the industry. He studied at the Vidal Sassoon Institute in London, trained with Sexy Hair founder, Michael O’Rourke, and has toured the world as a stage artist throughout his career.

This passion has led to him taking teaching to the next level by opening a cosmetology school adjacent to the salon. This will allow him to instill in those students the techniques and best practices he has spent years perfecting.

Most important to Rod is that you, the customer, feel that you’ve received the best customer service when you’ve visited the salon. He believes that you’ve given the gift of your time and appearance when you’ve stepped through the door, and it is his responsibility to ensure that you receive the best treatment, artistry, and passion during your visit.
