Jay is a 25-year veteran of the hair industry whose artistry and technical skill have made him a trusted name among clients in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Over the course of his career, he has worked in many of the region’s top salons, bringing precision, creativity, and a personalized touch to every cut, color, and style.

A former student-instructor at the prestigious South Philadelphia Beauty Academy, James has a passion for education and sharing his knowledge with both clients and fellow professionals.

James is a creative and masterful colorist, equally comfortable in both American and European cutting and styling techniques. His passion for his profession is matched only by his respect and affection for his clientele — many of whom have trusted him for years with their most important looks.

Today, based in Washington, D.C., James continues to combine his decades of experience with a modern, client-centered approach. Whether creating a fresh everyday style or preparing someone for a milestone event, his goal is simple: to make every client feel confident, polished, and authentically themselves.
