“I am always looking for inspiration and have been fortunate to do some amazing traveling all over the world. I have been inspired by fashions from Asia to Europe and fascinated with the streets of London and Paris. Here in the USA there is really no place like Los Angeles and especially New York. My parents, both from New York, had a great sense of style. I believe that is what drew me into this field. I like creating something just for the individual. I love making people, look and feel great.”
ON PARTNERING WITH ERIK KAUFFMAN:
“Erik is amazing and we have been friends for over twenty years, I used to cut his hair when he was in high school and he later went on to the same hair design school that I went to. It was a natural thing for the two of us and I really do think he is an amazing hairdresser.
I look forward to many years with my good friend, business partner and the Shane & Kauffman team.”
