About me

Hi, I'm Carlos

I have been behind the chair for fifteen years, first in salons in Madrid and London and since 2021 in my own studio. I work with one person at a time: no three clients waiting, no cuts against the clock.

I specialise in cuts that respect your hair type and in natural colour (balayage, fine highlights, grey coverage) with plant-based products. If you don’t know what you want, we decide together by looking at your face, your routine and how much time you want to spend on it.

  • One client at a time
  • 15+years in the trade
  • Plant-based colour

How I work

A simple method that works

What your appointment looks like:

  1. Consultation

    We look at your hair, your face and your routine before any cutting.

    Cut or colour without rushing, explaining every step.

  3. At home

    I show you how to style it and recommend only what you need.

It's for you if…
