Clarissa Malek
She/Her
She works like the earth—deliberate and strong—and moves like the ocean—untamed and free.
I've been doing hair for over 20 years, and what still moves me most is transformation — not just how someone looks when they leave my chair, but how they feel. I'm rooted in a classic Vidal Sassoon approach, where precision, balance, and structure are everything. Structure isn't the opposite of texture; it's what supports it. A well-structured haircut creates longevity, stability, and consistency — the shape holds, grows out intentionally, and becomes easier to maintain at home.
I specialize in precision cutting with a focus on natural movement, scalp health, and hair integrity. Whether it's highlights, texture-driven cuts, or restorative treatments, my goal is always the same: hair that feels effortless, elevated, and truly yours.
Clients often leave feeling lighter — confident, seen, understood. I educate during appointments so you feel empowered, not dependent.
Outside the salon, I split my time between New York City and Baja — surfing, diving, building businesses and ideas. For me, hair is both craft and art, discipline and intuition.
When your hair feels aligned with who you are, everything else moves more freely.
