DJ,
MAKEUP ARTIST AND HAIR STYLIST
The Artisan of Energy & Expression
DJ’s journey into beauty started not in a salon, but in childhood, with a hairbrush in hand and his sister teaching him to braid in Nebraska. This early spark for transformation grew into a passion as a performing artist, where he fell in love with the power of hair and makeup to create character and reveal personality.
Determined to master his craft, DJ moved to New York, where he refined his skills under the mentorship of industry luminaries Tommy Buckett, Tomo Nakamoto, and Jon Reyman. His hands-on experience expanded through backstage work at New York Fashion Week and collaborations with brands like Armani, NARS, Aveda, Credo, and Sephora.
Today, DJ approaches hair as a dynamic extension of the self—a form holding energy and a vital tool for expressing individuality. Fluent in all textures, his range spans from effortless “off-duty” styling to flawless silk presses. Combined with his expert eye for makeup, DJ offers a complete, elevated aesthetic vision, ensuring every client steps out feeling authentically and powerfully themselves.
