Haarstylist & visagist


"I have been working at El Encanto hair salon for 8 years and I am skilled in the ladies and gentlemen. I also specialize in keratin treatments.
Nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing a client leave the salon with a beautiful hairstyle and a big smile!
Jorge gives people the space through which both clients and hairdressers can be themselves. I experience the salon as an inspiring workplace because of the colorful location in the middle of Reguliersdwarsstraat."

Hairdresser


"I've worked in Amsterdam since 2007, the last 3 at El Encanto. I am a seasoned hairdresser from Connecticut/New York area. My talents were developed with respect for the natural growth of hair which is essential in wash and wear hair.
I have adapted this to the lifestyle here taking into account the wind and rain here by making most hairstyles reversible. My natural approach is carried into my eye for color.
Using the skin tone to guide I try to cover gray with the least possible maintenance and making highlights look sunkissed.
I spend time talking about your hair, how it grows and how to manage my cuts. An educated client is a happy client. Free consultation available upon request."
