Meet Your Sketchy Stylist

About Me

Are you in a hair funk?

Hi! I am Denise Davila, the creator and founder of Sketchy Hair, and I am here to help you get out of any ‘hair funk’ you might be in!

Why Sketchy?

I specialize in paying attention to the details.  Details about you that can be used to personalize your look.  A haircut or color service should not be treated like buying hat or shirt. There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to hair.  Each style is custom, tailored and drawn out to fit your needs. Every service starts with you! Each and every service starts with a Sketch, a basic outline of our goals with your hair. Each Sketch is tailored, drawn out, and envisioned to fit your needs- a true collaboration. I want us to team up and come up with a look that makes you feel comfortable.  A look that makes you feel like you.

What made me Sketchy?

Growing up in the streets of New York, I was exposed to and learned to appreciate all different types of cultures, fashion, art, graffiti and architecture.  It was inspiring to see how different styles could coexist, melt together and blend seamlessly into the overall day-to-day bustling New York City life. I witnessed first-hand the way a great, unique style can impact a person’s attitude and overall outlook on life. I’ve seen how confidence in your style carries over into your personal dealings and relationships. This experience made me into the person and artist I am today. It was a huge inspiration in my personal life, and I carried it over into my professional life. Now I share that experience through hair – your hair. I want to make sure that you leave my salon feeling more confident than ever.

I was trained by some of the industries’ top leaders, including Wella at the Vidal Sassoon Academies, Matrix, Sexy Hair, Redken, Paul Mitchell and American Crew. I have also personally led training and seminars on such topics as fades, modern trends in color, corrective color techniques, and even on how to give a proper consultation. With over 20 years of experience and over 5,000 stylists trained, you will get a professional hair experience like none other!

Why I became Sketchy?

I wanted to find a place that allowed me the freedom to continue my passion for creating custom hair looks and the feelings associated with them. This search led me to open my own salon which now enables me to continue to create custom looks for everyone- men or women, young or old. By becoming Sketchy, I have been able to expand on my love of making people look and feel good through their hair!
