Biggest inspirations: Street fashion and industry peers

Customizing beautiful haircuts and rich color is something Jessica is passionate about. She’s lived in San Francisco for the past 10 years and been inspired by music, film, pop and club culture, along with street and urban style.

A Santa Cruz native, Lindsay’s path in hair design began by doing makeovers for her high school friends. After spending a few years at CSUSF, she decided to take her passion to the next level and attended Paul Mitchell the School, in Costa Mesa. With a fantastic education, experience at a high-volume Orange County salon, and advanced education at Vidal Sassoon under her belt, Lindsay headed back to the Bay Area and found a home at Green Twig.
Favorite part of this industry: Making people feel as good as they look.

Growing up in Portland inspired Matea in many ways, but it was the perfect bob of Janet Weiss (of Sleater-Kinney fame) that played an integral role in her love of great hair. After moving to San Francisco, Matea took this passion for perfect hair and a “running with scissors” attitude straight to the Aveda Institute to begin her journey in the industry, and continued her education at Vidal Sassoon. When she’s not creating meticulously precise bob haircuts, intricate and beautiful highlights, and fantastic men’s cuts, she can be found knitting, baking blueberry pies and shopping for vintage dresses.
Biggest Inspirations: 1970’s outlaw country music, 8mm home movies of her Mom when she was young and her clients—the best part of her day!

Michaelyn’s journey as a hairstylist began earlier than most, as she decided to conquer cosmetology school while still in high school.

She is a fantastic addition to the Green Twig family!

Missy was fascinated by the transformative power of makeup from the time she first saw her grandmother apply lipstick without a using a mirror. At that moment she was hooked, so it’s no surprise she’s made a career helping others put their best faces forward. Years of work, and training, in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and Europe has helped her perfect her craft and also gave her experience managing salons. Lucky for us, her training and natural eye for the perfect look make a fantastic mash up which fits in perfectly at Green Twig.
