Serving as Creative Director and Lead Colorist of Cottonwood, Brandon delivers excellence to a very devoted and demanding clientele.

He braved his first days in the industry on Cottonwood's Front Desk Team. It didn't take him long to see that the salon industry was home. Making "learning his religion", Brandon has been mentored by friend and international color idol Beth Minardi. Advanced education with Wella Studios, and Bumble & Bumble University has also served as an essential part in his success.

A talented artist with natural ability, conceptual understanding, and solid training in the art of hair color, he transforms hair into his own unique color canvas. His pursuit of perfection has allowed him to discover and master a very creative and signature style of color.

Brandon's approach to color is an advanced and very stylish technique that he refers to as "HYPER-NATURAL". His philosophy is that "hair should look as though it belongs on the individual...not in a child's coloring book." His high fashion, high contrast blondes are his trademark. "Portraying a deeply shadowed base with bright mids-to-ends - is the key to creating the perfect blonde", says Brandon.

He has perfected bold and beautiful brunettes, "with an abundance of shade-on-shade dimensions that are never flat or ruddy". He considers the complicated components of his reds as "juicy and rich".

Brandon is an extraordinarily talented rising young star whose strong passion for the art of color has skyrocketed him to the top of the industry. He also understands that the "best of the best" is one who is never finished learning.
