Hi, I’m Kori and I grew up in Mission Viejo, where my passion for cutting men’s hair began while attending Trabuco Hills High School. My first experience was one summer when my friends wanted their heads shaved, so I used my mom’s dog clippers to cut their hair, and I found it enjoyable. Inspired by that, I started buying equipment and binge-watching YouTube tutorials, quickly expanding my clientele and skill by cutting hair for friends and family in my garage during high school.

 

I took my interest to the next level by enrolling in cosmetology school through a Regional Occupational Program during my junior year and obtained both my cosmetology and barber licenses by the time I graduated high school. Seeking a new adventure, I moved from Orange County to Hollywood with the dream of seeing my name in movie credits, styling hair on set. However, I realized the city life wasn’t for me, so I moved back to Orange County to grow my career while earning my bachelor’s degree at UCI and taking on clients in Foothill Ranch, Irvine, and finally Newport Beach.

 

In July 2019, I opened my own hair studio in Newport Beach, designing a custom, solo environment for clients as an alternative to crowded barbershops and salons. Currently, I’m expanding to offer mobile haircuts in the Newport Beach area, bringing professional, convenient haircuts directly to your home or office because I see mobile services as the future. I provide all equipment, including cordless tools, a chair, and cleanup - leaving no trace behind except a great haircut. If you value your time and comfort, book a mobile haircut appointment today—I’m ready to help you look your best at your location!
