Trevor Hlawtschek | Stylist & Barber
In the seven years that Trevor has been with Jungle Red, we have watched his career path continue to evolve. Starting with us as a graduate of the San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology in 2017, he successfully completed our advanced training program. This foundation led him to some of the best schools in the industry; Vidal Sassoon Advanced Academy as well as Goldwell Color Academy. With his love for education, Trevor found himself leaning towards teaching and giving back to “up and coming” students. This took him back to the community of SFEC where he is now a Hair Cutting Specialist and Educator in cosmetology.
While in the salon, his specialities include precision haircutting for both short and long hair, as well as color and color correction.He is especially interested in thinking outside of the box when it comes to color; using more natural pigments such as henna for gray coverage.
We are happy to have Trevor in the salon when he is available, and excited to see where his career will take him next!
