Phoenix Pfeifer

"My name is Phoenix Pfeifer! I’ve been a stylist since 2025 but have been unofficially doing my own hair and friends’ hair since high school. I received my formal cosmetology training at Douglas J Aveda Institute and graduated in March. Some of my favorite projects during this past year have been vivid color melts, curly haircuts, shaggy/mullety androgynous cuts and doing my mom’s and sister’s highlights. I love working with my clients to help create the hairstyle of their dreams that express who they are. I have 3 cats: Sofie, Norah, and Ashtray. I am a Libra sun with a Pisces moon and Leo rising. Some of my favorite TV shows are Bojack Horseman, Bob’s Burgers, and The Great North (I’m a big adult animation fan). If you ever want to talk about music or magic, I’m your guy! Before doing hair, I studied cello performance at U of M for four years. I prefer he/they pronouns, but I won’t get offended if you slip up! I am queer and genderfluid/nonbinary, and live with my fiancé Gwen, who is a jack-of-all-trades artist (think tattoos, pen on paper, ink, paint, woodworking, you name it). They are my muse and I love to do their hair since they let me experiment and play around with whatever colors my heart desires. I am happy to offer quiet services as I am an introvert myself and will be working out of the back/quiet room."
