Andrea Cwynar | Master Stylist and Educator, Specializing in Cutting
took an interest in visual arts at a very early age. In 1991 she began an extensive apprenticeship with a group of formally trained Sassoon based stylists. This led her on a path to various Vidal Sassoon Academies in the US and UK mastering the art of precision haircutting. Two years after becoming a stylist at Jungle Red, she and Scott Mishina took the plunge, and became owners. Together, they formed an amazing partnership, and put into place a culture that would surpass their original expectations of ownership. After seventeen years of ownership, Andrea decided to pass on the torch to a new Young owner, Lucas Ringhofer.
As a seasoned stylist offering a range in expertise, she believes in consistent dedication, education and inspiration, and continues to work side by side with her associates, daily, to create only the highest standard of haircare available.
