CLAUDIA PIMENTEL I 

If you asked my clients to describe me in a few words they would say, “She's fun, bubbly and a great listener."

Hola!
I'm Claudia Pimentel and I LOVE doing hair!
 
To keep myself inspired, I’m constantly attending advanced classes from cities with creative vibes, from New York to Los Angeles.  From here in San Francisco to our neighboring city Oakland. Taking advance classes keep me going. Some of the places I've learned from are  Bumble and Bumble University, Sebastian, Pony Education and Wella Education to name a few.  Some people that I have taken classes with that have inspired me along my education journey are from Filomena Bettencourt ( who I have worked closely along side for 11yrs!), Jayne Mathews , Daze Curly Education and The Mona Cut. I owe it to myself to never stop learning!

What I love the most about this industry?:
Cuts for sure!! Hands down!!  There is such a creative freedom that I find in hair cutting; to be able to create shape's and movement out of a cool fabric like hair excites me!  I love doing long layers and pixies and everything in between.  I also appreciate the beauty and curves of curly hair.  A cut that flows in its true natural state is truly a dream! But my ultimate love is the power of a fabulous fringe, I can do these all day long. I feel like it's a fun way to add a little change and still leave such a  big creative impression. Hair cutting give me life!
 
I also love doing balayage's it gives me the freedom to customize and hand craft a look that's just for you.  Brunettes and reds are also my jam. 
 
My biggest goal is to have you walking away from my chair with a pep in your step. I want you to know that our time spent together is created and dedicated to feel like a safe and fun environment where we can bounce idea's with one another. It is a space where we can come together to create a look that best fits your life style, and in such an important process still be able to relax and laugh.
 
This girl just wants to have fun!
