Name / Years in Industry: Hello! My name is Donovan and I have been a professional stylist since 2004, but began goofing off in my Grandma’s salon long before I acquired my license!
About Me: I started in Orange County under a Master Hairdresser, which was a fun and educational experience that included a significant amount of high level training with many of the most prominent names in the hair world. I found passion for education was ignited then and have spent all of my years pursuing advanced education with the ever changing styles and techniques in our industry. This ongoing pursuit has helped me to unlock many secrets about hair! My experience has also taught me that there’s much more to learn. When I’m not in the Salon, you’ll find me at the gym or outside on an adventure.
First Concert: No Doubt in 2002 at the Long Beach Arena, with Weezer opening. Gwen stole the show and was jumping from speaker high stack to high stack while singing. She kept this up the entire show while one of the largest mosh pits I’ve ever seen developed and continued for most of the show. An awesome experience that I’ll never forget.
Music I Like To Listen To: I listen to all genres but do have my favorites with Metal and Rock. Anything with a fast tempo is at the top of my list. Some of my favs are: Skillet, Killswitch Engage, Avenged Sevenfold, Iron Maiden and DragonForce.
Favorite Day: Having a busy day while enjoying the company of my Clients and teammates, while making sure every single one of my Clients look and feel great!
Making hair, and life – Rock Again.
