THE TEAM

Headbetter Salon is a collective of hairdressers. We have chosen people that care about their clients to fill our chairs. We have fun while we work.

    After an extensive career traveling the globe representing various hair product lines working in education, product development, trend releases, hair shows, trade shows, television, print, runway, and theatre, as well as working with some top salons.

    Chad now concentrates on his clientele at Headbetter Salon in Sherman Oaks. With a superior level of technical skill, an innate sense of artistry, and the confidence of a seasoned professional, he brings with him an easy disposition, enthusiasm, and a great sense of humor.

    From 'easy' natural looks to precision cuts, classic up-styles to gravity-defying avant-garde hair sculptures, he has the ability to execute an endless array of designs as a well-rounded professional. "I've resisted specializing in just one area because every person and every situation is different. If you want to be true to communicating that, your work can't be just a showcase for the one thing you like or do best", says Chad.
