PAM ORFANOS
Co-Owner | Master Hair Colorist
Pam collaborates with her clients to craft some of the best hair color in Chicago. An expert in color theory and formulation, she has studied a wide variety of brands and techniques.

While she has learned extensively from her grandfather and father (both expert Italian barbers) she also received classic training in precision haircutting techniques from the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Los Angeles.
Nicole is passionate about education and continues to train in specialties like razoring, in which she uses a straight razor to achieve softer, looser shapes that aren’t possible with a traditional shear. She not only oversees our haircutting department but is also our haircutting education director, crafting a cohesive curriculum for our stylists and apprentices. Nicole’s influence ensures our entire team has a strong foundation on which to build their own signature style.
