It is mesmerizing to watch Sydney work. Specializing in lived in color that lasts for months, Sydney is amazing at making you feel like you’ve had a big change without spending hours in the chair. Her placement is always thoughtful, her cuts are always thorough.

Often doing one big service and maintenance through the year, we love seeing what her and her clients get up to.

loves to create soft shapes while having a laugh.

Even though a cut can look like a classic bob it’s what what you don’t see right away that makes it special. A closer look will show you that hair can move with you, creating and enhancing your natural waves while holding volume without obvious layering.

All this captured in a dry cut service, so we can skip the wash if you prefer.

Something that benefits all stylists of all experience levels are foundational cutting courses. When was the last time you revisited the basics?

Join us on Mondays every month from 10:30-1:00 as we take the time to demo a foundational haircut. We will break down the “why’s” and “when’s” of a core shape in an intimate class setting that allows for discussion and knowledgeable curiosity.

Each class will cost $75 per visitor. This means that you can pick and choose the classes that you feel are most needed. This means that you can gain education that suits your needs in a cost effective manner.

Demos will be preformed on mannequin heads so we can have full creative control. In addition to cutting, we will discuss various forms of styling, diagramming, product and tool usage as well as consultations. Each class will have a booklet that accompanies the haircut lesson.

Interested? Check our link in our bio “Events at The Rare Bird”. We’re also happy to answer any questions via DMs.
