Amir Zoghi
ABOUT
Coming from a family of hairdressers, I was set up for success early on. After beauty school, I completed a year long apprenticeship at Spalon Montage. I quickly realized that the only way I can become the best is to constantly educate myself, so that is what I did. For the last four years, I have worked as an educator for Sebastian Professional, which focuses on hairdressing and hair cutting techniques. Currently, I am a national color educator for Wella Professional color, where I travel the nation teaching trends and color techniques to stylists in the salon and on the stage. I have done over 20+ stage shows and taught countless classes. I have worked with a variety of top stylists from LA to NYC. Prior to the hair district, I held the position of Artistic Director for a large salon.
When it comes to hair cutting, I would say my style is progressive yet contemporary. When it comes to my clients, the only way I can be successful is to listen to your needs and past experiences so that I can truly understand what is best for you.

ABOUT
When I decided to get into this profession, my intentions were not to specialize, especially in men's hair. After 11 years in the industry and over eight years on focusing my expertise in men's hair, I would not change my career path for anything. I find that it can be difficult to find that "right" stylist that meets your goals and expectations, and I feel that it can be especially difficult for men. Most times, communicating your desired result is what separates you from your end goal. I am great at filling in that communication gap and succeeding in the goals of my clients.

ABOUT
I always look forward to creating a look for my clients which flatters their facial shape, lifestyle, and image - whether their hair is curly, straight, short, or long. My clients know me to listen to their needs and work together to find the perfect look for each individual - whether it is done through coloring, cutting, or styling. I strive to educate my clients about environmental effects on their hair and how to take care of their style between visits. I believe that healthy hair is the most beautiful way to show off a good cut, and I teach my clients how to maintain that look.

ABOUT
I like working with every type of hair. Straight, curly, fine, whatever type of hair you have, I will find the best and most current style to fit into your lifestyle.
Throughout my years as a hairdresser, I have worked with some great stylists from New York to LA. They have taught me the best ways to cut, blowout, and style hair along with the coloring technique of Balayage. The Balayage technique that I specialize in is the original French form of Balayage. It gives the hair a more dimensional look and is healthier and less damaging than the traditional foil. I believe it is the best way to place highlights because you paint the color on instead of using foils that can limit where you are able to place the color. I am one of the few Colorists in the Twin Cities that exclusively uses a Balayage technique.

ABOUT
I have had the honor of being in the beauty business for 23 years. I started as a make up artist at Horst Salons/Juut in 1992. It became clear that clients were becoming more aware of their eyebrows and what a difference it could make in your over all appearance. I was excited to be a part of that revolution.
Since then, styles have gone from thin to thick, elongated arch to high arch, squared to round. I enjoy working with my clients to help achieve the look that they are hoping for. We can also bring life back to your eyes with a brow and eyelash tint. There are so many fun options.
I look forward to meeting you and your brows!

ABOUT
It is important for me to look at my client's whole persona...lifestyle, what they need and want...before deciding on the look. I then take that information and incorporate it with the design I will give them. I love looking at color as a way to accent the haircut and bring out wonderful skin tones. Every head of hair is original and I also cut that way. I may use a sheer, razor, cut wet or dry...it all depends on my design for the client.

ABOUT
I am a Minnesota native who has recently moved back to the Twin Cities from Denver. I have worked in the beauty industry for over ten years in various positions from front desk to management. After some soul searching out west, I was inspired to follow my passion and become a licensed esthetician. I absolutely love what I do and building relationships with my clients is extremely important to me. I love that I can make my guests laugh and feel comfortable even while waxing them. Creating a safe space and knowing my guests leave feeling more comfortable and confident is the ultimate reward for me.
Some of my signature services include full body waxing, brows, and lash extensions. Most waxing services can be completed in 20 minutes or less, and I have perfected my technique to be as comfortable and pain free as possible. Lash extensions can go from natural to bold, and I am always keeping up as the industry progresses.
This is not only my career but also my passion; I would love to see you in my treatment room!

ABOUT
My career as a stylist began at The Aveda Institute in Minneapolis where I studied cosmetology. Immediately, I was drawn to color, styling, and makeup. My first job was at Rocco Altobelli as a color specialist. I moved quickly into recruiting, hair shows, and photo shoots. After seven years, along with a group of stylists, I left to open a new salon, Lili, where I was the Creative Color Director. Three years later, I decided to work for myself at the Uptown hair district. Since working at the hair district, I have styled numerous shows locally including an internet talk show, RAW artists, and have worked with several photographers for wedding styles, boudior, and senior photographs. My most recent work was styling hair and make-up for a fashion show in San Diego. Through the years, I have performed over 50,000 services.
I have worked with many celebrity stylists including Kaz Amor, The Doves, Nick Arrojo, Gina Khan, Nicholas French, Melissa Stone, and Richard Hudavoni.
