ABOUT @Philipwolffhair
Born in Landstuhl, Germany, Philip lived in and traveled throughout Europe before moving to America in his early teens. At the age of 20 Philip began his professional hair career as an apprentice at a Toni & Guy concept salon in Maryland.
With zero professional experience or training, it was his unique look, ambitious personality and upbeat attitude that caught the attention of salon bosses.
For the next year, Philip established himself as a talented hair stylist and thirsty for new challenges he moved to PR at Partners, a UK-based company with 15 locations in the DC area. As a salon stylist, Philip dedicated himself to the companies full ongoing education program and within a year he was on the education team, teaching haircutting to newcomers and developing his own advanced skills.
Philip went on to serve as Artistic Director of Education, where he continued to teach advanced hair cutting at all 15 locations.
In 2004, Philip took the ultimate risk and moved to LA. He sacrificed his hard-earned clientele, a Who’s Who of Washington DC, and started from scratch in the LA beauty industry.
Embracing the major lifestyle change, Philip moved from salon to salon, picking up work anywhere he could. It was a drastic change from his stable career in DC and an experience that humbled Philip, and although he questioned his choice to move to LA he never doubted his talent or his passion for cutting.
Philip finally landed a deal with Privé Salon to work for nine months in Seoul, Korea at the W Hotel, where he cut hair for a number of celebrities, models and high-end clientele, including the Samsung family, and worked on a number of runway shows, television shows and the incredibly popular MTV Asia network.

In 2010, Philip left Privé to open a boutique Beverly Hills salon with Susan Henry, a co-worker of Philips at Privé. Shades, the only green hair salon in LA is where Philip established himself as the go-to-guy for master hair cutting in Los Angeles.
Philip enjoys creating everything from short, super edgy cuts to sexy, long classic looks and everything in between. While many hairdressers specialize in either male or female cuts, Philip doesn’t restrict himself to one gender and enjoys it all.
