David Simmons

The experienceWhy guests choose David

David's anti-specialist approach, focusing on connection over techniques, sets him apart. Clients return for the deep, meaningful engagement as much as for the styling.

Connection is at the heart of every appointment. I aim to make guests feel happy, noted through compliments during styling rather than just at the end. I cherish the support and shared experiences that my clients bring into the salon.

The matchIdeal guest

My ideal guest walks in confident and open to ideas. They're willing to explore multiple options and communicate honestly if something doesn't meet their expectations. Their open-mindedness makes the styling process collaborative and enjoyable.

AboutBehind the chair

Born and raised in Naples, Florida, David's journey wasn't linear. After exploring careers in PR, fitness, and entertainment, a return to Naples opened up the path to hair. Inspired by his stylist aunt who started at Robert of Philadelphia, David found his calling.

Outside the salon, David enjoys privacy, gym sessions, and time with loved ones to recharge.

The consultationWhat to expect

When a new guest sits in my chair, I focus on their lifestyle, origins, and inspiration behind their hair goals. It's important to understand the person beyond what's visible to avoid over-promising and to ensure the style fits their life.

Healthy hair starts with honesty and a comprehensive understanding of a client's lifestyle, medications, and at-home routines. It's not just about the hair's look but its feel and reaction to daily life.

First-time guestsGuests should bring inspiration photos and any previous color formula for a smooth session. Openness to ideas and a willingness to share past experiences helps tailor a personalized salon experience.
