The Team

Seagull functions as a true creative collective. Stylists are skilled across cutting and coloring, often doing both to create a cohesive total look. Expect collaboration behind the scenes, a feminist ethos, and an environment that’s relaxed, electric, and deeply inclusive. No templates, no rules by face shape or gender expression—just work tailored to your personal style and vision.

Where the Talent Comes From

Stylists come from some of New York’s most respected salons—Arrojo, Ted Gibson, Whittemore House, Mudhoney, Woodley & Bunny. Specialties include razor cutting, dry cutting, and some of the best curly hair work in the world.

Award-Winning Stylists

Seagull has been featured in The New York Times (Metro, Magazine, and Styles sections), Allure’s best NYC stylists, Nylon, Refinery29, Racked, Cosmopolitan, and New York Magazine for everything from fantasy color to low-maintenance brilliance. Stylist bios are available to help with choosing, and front desk staff can help match clients based on hair type, style goals, and maintenance preferences.

Praise for Seagull

“I think Seagull sort of takes the word ‘salon’ to a new level. It’s a laughable word in relationship to hair cutting and so on, but somehow the salon’s vibe is cultural. It’s not Gertrude Stein-y, but you’re in the art world while getting your haircut. I’ve known about Jo since before her Le Tigre days; she’s someone who understands feminist culture. She’s a player.” – Eileen Myles, Writer
“It’s like I’m hanging out with my best girlfriends, who happen to do really great hair. I think what Johanna and Shaun have created is really special. It feels like a family. The family you create — not the one you were born into.” – Bridget Everett, Comedian
“I always see Shaun, and he is a consummate artist. I can always count on him for a very stimulating 45-minute conversation from a queer/feminist/magical perspective; and I so appreciate having his council as I confront the problems of self-presentation and aging,” – Carol Bove, Artist
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Shaun for the better part of 5 years. He is a brilliant stylist and easy to communicate with. Aside from being a great stylist he is a joy to be around and getting to know him personally has been wonderful, he is hilarious. We are never lacking in topics to dissect together. He is a true artist.”
–Nicole Eisenman, Visual Artist
“As the director of Participant Inc. I come across artists of many disciplines. I am happy to include Shaun among not only my colleagues but as one of my good friends. Shaun is fun, sincere, and incredibly talented both as a hairstylist and artist in general and I am pleased to count him as one of my peers.”
–Lia Gangitano, Participant Inc.
