Edgardo Escribano owner and master stylist
My passion for hair began at the age of 14 when I discovered the art of clipper cutting as a hobby, and it has only grown from there. The ability to create beautiful men and women styles in addition to educating others has been a constant source of motivation for my professional growth in an industry I hold in high esteem. Being fluent in both English and Spanish allows me to connect with a diverse range of clients and fellow professionals, enriching my experiences and fostering meaningful relationships. My goal is to continue my journey of growth while sharing my knowledge and skills with as many eager professionals as possible through Pelo by Edgardo in Ridgefield, CT. I am profoundly humbled and forever grateful to everyone who has supported me on this path, helping me reach this incredible place in my career
