NICK

Nick began his distinguished career with Vidal Sassoon in Manchester. After ten successful years he joined the Wella team in London.


His inspirational work caught the attention of Bumble & Bumble. In 1994 he took the Director of Education post for the eminent New York City salon. Three years later, he established Arrojo Cutler. Under his guidance, the salon was to flourish for three years, whilst Nick became Global Master for Aveda.


September 2001 brought the realization of a life long dream. Nick launched his personal endeavour, Arrojo Studio. The Arrojo Studio is a custom built salon, including Arrojo Education, Arrojo Creative and the Arrojo Color Studio. This space embraces Nick’s vision and, ultimately, gives hairdressers the opportunity to take ownership of their industry.


With over 20 years on the salon floor, a razor sharp portfolio and definitive exposure in print and on television, Nick now holds the prestigious position of Special Creative Artist for Wella.


He is a revered stylist, educator and leading light in the business.

JAMES

James’ exceptional career began 15 summers ago in San Diego, where he worked as an educator for Paul Mitchell Systems. He graced New York in 1998, beginning his strong working relationship with Nick from the outset. Panache and knowledge makes James a rousing colorist and educator. His clients include models, actors, and musicians the world over. American Salon, Victoria’s Secret, Essence, the Today Show and TLC’s What Not To Wear have all been enriched by his work.

LINA

With ten years at Vidal Sassoon, Lina has unique vision and knowledge to augment her technical precision. Her innate abilities have decorated high fashion runway shows, renowned models and celebrities at the Sundance Film Festival.

VINCENT

Born and raised in Paris, Vincent began his outstanding career 12 years ago and has since been acclaimed across the globe for his creative styling. Eight years as Art Director for Toni & Guy in London and New York saw his vision of modern hair being showcased at photo shoots, hair shows and seminars. Vincent began working with Nick and the Arrojo Studio in 2004. His work is an inspiration to the team and clients alike.

MARK (previously known as ERLI)

With 12 dynamic years in the business, Mark began his career in San Francisco, with Vidal Sassoon. As Art Director for Sassoon in Washington DC, he was extensively involved in education, photo shoots and commercials. He profiled the gold medallists at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. In 2000 he began working with Nick and has subsequently found his opportunities endless. The VH1 Fashion Awards, Mercedes Benz, Fashion Week, Doorknock Makeover and Inside Edition are amongst those embellished by his talents.

TENNESSEE

After having opened the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Shanghai China, Tennessee has returned to his native New York to become part of the Arrojo Studio Master styling team. With 17 years experience in the business, he has traveled the world through hairdressing. He is excited to be a part of the Arrojo Studio team, and apply his unique style and experiences to an already diverse and distinguished team of world class hairdressers.

AMANDA

From Florida, Amanda originally moved to NYC to join Toni & Guy as their Art Director. Six years in the role ensured her work was recognized worldwide at seminars, hair shows and photo shoots. She is a true master of the hairdressing art, twice receiving the Toni & Guy Editorial Award. Amanda joined Arrojo in 2004, and with a remarkable commitment to our team, she is now our Director of Education. Her innate sense of style, fashion and beauty has led to requests from alternative rockers, the Kings of Leon, Good Charlotte and Audio Slave.

RUDY

Rudy’s outstanding color career includes stints with Vidal Sassoon and Wella, where he was a leading member of their creative team. Wanting to live in a world epicenter for music, fashion, art, and style he moved to the Big Apple in 2008.
