Hey there! I’m Sophie, and I’m so excited to welcome you to my chair at Nova Hair Collective. With 15 years of experience as a cosmetologist and a barber license too, I’ve got a passion for creating styles that are as unique as you are. I love working with folks of all genders and expressions, and I’m especially committed to making my space a safe and welcoming spot for my LGBTQ+ friends.

My approach is all about you! I want to really listen to what you need, get to know your lifestyle, and create a look that feels totally “you.” I specialize in:

• * **Sharp barber cuts:** Clean lines and classic looks, tailored just for you.
• * **Straight razor magic:** Creating modern, textured styles with a touch of artistry.
• * **Curly hair love:** Enhancing all kinds of curls (from waves to coils!) with dry cutting techniques.
• * **Seamless, blended blonding:** Creating gorgeous, low-maintenance color with balayage and foilyage techniques that grow out beautifully.

I also love showing my clients how to style their hair at home with minimal products and tools. I want you to feel confident and comfortable rocking your look every day!

When I’m not in the salon, you can find me hanging out with my two adorable miniature longhair dachshunds, sewing up a storm with quilts and bags, or exploring Austin’s amazing bakeries. I love getting creative and finding inspiration everywhere!

“Sophie remains consistently fabulous with my color and cut. Very demure, very classy.”
