About Scott Riffe
A native southern Californian born in south Orange County . I moved to LA in the later part of the 90's after OC had run its course. (Technically Orangealeno ).
As an impressionable kid, I was an avid fan of TV & the movies. I noticed how a person’s style & appearance really affected how they are seen, and how they carry themselves.
I began experimenting on my own hair pretty early on - shaving it bald with a woman's leg shaver with my friends in 1989 !
The world wasn't ready for such a shock and my parents were bummed .The big buzz cut became my new found liberation. I found those hair dyes and bleaching it and went full on punk rock wild teenager !
Naturally next up after that was modeling & acting moving to South Bay then Hollywood and traveling in Europe.
I finally decided to hold my fate in my own hands and went to cosmetology school and became a hairstylist in 2003-2004. I worked in dozens of salons and barbershops from the South Bay , high end salons in Beverly Hills , West Hollywood and then moved over to Santa Monica .
I’m very passionate about my craft and nothing makes me happier than seeing a client with a new cut and new outlook .
Over the years of using tons of hair products unique pomades and waxes , I decided it was finally time for me to make my own hair products and ran my own hair product line for 5 years .
I recently started to align with a grassroots lowkey company called Church Ca . They are healthy minded botanical company with all natural organic products in Northern California.
I pride my craft and instill confidence behind the chair with a lived in natural yet sharp haircut .
Im fueled by music , art, surfing and training Brazilian jiu jitsu ( brown belt ) and a proud Dad .
I cultivate daily with an open mind, discipline, by tapping into west coast energy with an approach to hair styles and self expression.
The synergy at studio 211 has morphed into something unique where clients & myself created Chairapy Sessions. A mini podcast for those clients that want to be on camera more or less we can vent and discuss life or business.
I also realized after 23 years of cutting hair it was necessary help out the clients who are always asking me weekly the question "AM I GOING BALD ??
Let it be known it's rewarding as a hair restoration technician to became a more well rounded hairstylist which led me to doing Smp by creating new hairlines and doing hair systems . Let's get you maximized to your full potential!
See you in the chair soon!!
