Private By Hand Est. 2024

The Studio

IF Studio is my living room, transformed — dim light, quiet music, one chair. When you walk in, I'll probably make a joke about the tour being short. Most of my clients are colleagues who've become regulars. That's how I like it: personal, unhurried, a little imperfect.

How I Got Here

The long way around

I've always been drawn to aesthetics — drawing, composition, the way things look and feel. For years, the path to doing this for real felt out of reach. Two years ago, I stopped waiting and enrolled in beauty college.

One client at a time

Most salons treat you like a timeslot. I don't. When you're in my chair, you're the only person that exists for that hour. Every session is logged — what we did, what I noticed, what I'd suggest next time. You're not starting over every visit.

Still becoming

Right now I'm deepening my work in professional waxing and advanced esthetic techniques. The studio will grow. The chair will stay the same.
