He specializes in identification of the perfect highlight or permanent color for each client and has perfected the application of color and highlights for the longest lasting results. More than his color, cutting, and styling technique, Beau prides himself most on making you feel great while you are in his chair and when you leave.

He’s been named Best Stylist multiple times by multiple publications and his appointments are in high demand. Beau accepts new clients upon request and based upon availability.

He has been a regular guest speaker to students at local cosmetology schools and enjoys teaching students and stylists how to grow their technical skills. Beau and his team at Z Studio have traveled to the Premier Orlando Show and America’s Beauty Show in Chicago multiple times; these are the two largest professional beauty shows in North America, focused on education, new products and new trends.
When away from salons, he most enjoys spending time exploring new travel destinations. Interesting fact: Beau trained and showed championship Paint and Quarter Horses most of his life and has won multiple world championships.
