My name is Josef Stempinski and I started my career 18 years ago. Ever since I was a young boy I have had a love and passion for fashion and hair. My love allows me to create a look for clients contoured for their bone structure and lifestyle. I relate the perfect haircut and style to the perfect black dress.

Along my journeys I have met Vivienne Mackinder (former Global Creative Director for Videl Sassoon). She trained and mentored me, for five years, while I worked for her company, Hair DesignerTV, in New York City. While working for her, I traveled on behalf of her doing hair shows, fashion shoots and technical training to professionals around the world.

I was also a National Purefessional Educator for AVEDA. I was able to continue showing the industry my passion for hair, fashion and education by travelling and teaching trends to AVEDA salon stylists and owners.

Recently, in 2017, I paused my career to become an apprentice to Theri DeJoode, one of the creators of the American Crew Cutting program. This allowed me to strengthen my classic barbering skills and straight razor shaves. Now I am able to contour for bone structure and lifestyle for anyone.

As I continue to grow, in my career, and learn more about new hair trends, techniques and fashion I always look forward to bringing this new information to stylists around the country and one day around the world.
