OUR FOUNDER
Noé Rodriguez | Founder/CEFO
Since 2008, Noé Rodriguez, founder, and CEFO has been at the helm of the beauty and grooming industry, channeling his inspiration from his world travels into his salon.
Exposed at a young age to the beauty industry as the nephew of a well-known Hair Artist, Noé's initial intent was to become a pilot, but life had something different in mind. Instead, Noé followed in his uncle's footsteps, becoming a licensed cosmetologist at the age of 19 years old.
Thereafter, Noé received instruction at The Redken Exchange in NYC and successfully completed certifications through the L'Oréal Professionel SOHO Academy in NYC and Laguna Beach, California.
​
Entrusted by many for his vision and approach to creating the most beautiful hair, Noé attributes his success to discipline, passion, perseverance, and continuing education–qualities that are now imbued to his students.
ABOUT US
Only when knowledge, passion, and perseverance are in sync will skill translate onto canvas [hair] beautifully.
