Amad Sharifi

Master Stylist

With 40 years of international experience, Amad Sharifi combines artistry, skill, and a true passion for hair.

He’s known for his precision men’s cuts that bring fullness and shape to thinning hair, and for helping women transform thick, heavy hair into easy, stylish looks.

Amad’s love for nature, camping, and baking bread show his creative side — and his sense of humor and warmth make every client feel at home in his chair.

More than a haircut or style
we listen to your needs and catering to you individually.

Founder & Lead Colorist /Stylist

Specialties: Highlights, balayage, color corrections

I’ve been doing hair for 20 years, specializing in color—especially highlights, balayage, and color corrections. My goal is always the same: to make my clients feel beautiful, confident, and completely at ease. I love what I do, and I believe hair is more than just a look—it’s a feeling.

When I’m not at the salon, I’m recharging in nature—hiking, walking by the beach, or spending time with my loved ones.
