HAIRCUT, COLOR & EXTENSION SPECIALIST

I have been doing hair since 2002. I have been so fortunate to learn from and train with the best stylists. I opened Hush Hush in 2008. We are the first eco-friendly salon in California, and again was so fortunate that it happened at the right place, right time and with the right people. I am so lucky to work with amazing, talented people every day. They inspire me on a daily basis. We are a big happy family here and our clients love that about us. Look out world — Hush Hush #2 is coming soon!

HAIRCUT, COLOR & EXTENSION SPECIALIST

As a master stylist and creative colorist, I have been pursuing my love of hair for over 8 years now. Aside from a passion for creative color and advanced techniques, I am also committed to staying on top of all the latest looks and trends. Most recently I have begun offering an amazing new keratian straightening service. It dramatically smoothes even the most chemically treated hair, for up to 3 to 4 months at a time! I'm both a master stylist when it comes to cutting and hair extensions (both individual and sewn in wefts). I am also involved in several charities, such as Breast Cancer Awareness and Locks of Love, because I truly believe in giving back to my community.

Eunice Lepore

HAIRCUT, COLOR & EXTENSION SPECIALIST

I have been a stylist for ten years. I became a stage artist/educator for Sexy Hair Concepts, traveling the world educating fellow stylists in the art of "structure in motion" techniques. Through travel and intense training, doors began to open in the Hollywood industry which allowed me to work on photo shoots, runway shows, fashion week, commercials and music videos. I also had a recurring job with the pussycat dolls; I traveled with the dolls and their celebrity clientele including Carmen Electra, Maya, Christina Applegate, Fergie and many more. Working with celebrities made me realize how much extensions play a role in hair so I became an extension specialist and along with fellow stylist Jaclyn Semonza formed an extension company called "The Bond Girls".

Cathy Ponsford

HAIRCUT, COLOR & EXTENSION SPECIALIST

I have lived in southern California my whole life. I started becoming interested in hair while I was in high school. When I decided to make it my career, it became my passion! Once I graduated high school, I attended Golden West Cosmetology and received my certificate in 1999. I continue to learn and grow as a stylist. I am constantly learning new techniques from attending hair shows, classes, and from my fellow stylists at the salon. We work as a team and support each other, as well as educate each other constantly. I specialize in color, cutting, and extensions. I absolutely love when I get a new client that is looking for a whole new look. I make it my goal to learn as much as I can about the client, so that I can help them decide what works best for them and their lifestyle. I also feel it is important that the client can go home and recreate the style that I gave them, so I will always offer free lessons on styling so you can learn how to make it look just as good as I do. I offer a referral program, when you refer a friend I will give you 20.00 off your next service. Feel free to make a consultation if you are looking for a new stylist and a new you! I look forward to meeting you!
