Lydia is a lifelong hair artist who began her journey from just the age of 12 as an emo kid who faced the challenges of having curly hair. She challenged the limitations through experimentation with her own creative haircuts and colors on herself first, then on her friends later on. Now with over 7 years of professional experience, she is a creative force in the industry specializing in custom haircut and color transformations utilizing blonding, vivids, and lived-in color. She strives to create low maintenance, easy to style looks that last and grow with each individual lifestyle.

Lydia has built a reputation of inspiring and uplifting hair artistry. To her, the hair is a canvas for self-expression and confidence and she ensures she leaves a lasting impression on everyone that sits in the chair. Her passion for bringing out natural beauty and individuality through her art fuels her innovation and pursuance for growth. In addition to the bold transformations she creates, she uses her curly hair expertise to educate other hair artists throughout the Bay Area here at Capybara Hair Lounge.
