POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

10 things to know about me:
1. I’m a proud cat mama of 3. My oldest Shadowfax, is 13, followed by my best boi, Toshiro at 12. Mango is my step cat and he is about 4, but is absolutely a mama’s boy. All my cats are larger than life and total cuddle bugs, I brag about them often. 🐱
2. Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love all things spooky and dressing up! Getting creative with my costumes and how to throw a Halloween party at not Halloween is my favorite thing to do all year. 🎃
3. I am proudly goth and have been some variation of goth since middle school. I do my best to dress within the aesthetic, but it’s a lifestyle babes. My house is spooky, my accessories are spooky, and my aesthetic is, let’s face it, pretty spooky. 🖤
4. I’m a retired Vegas stripper, I still pole dance for fun in my downtime! I stripped for 3 years while I was in college and decided it wasn’t for me long term but I really enjoyed the people I met dancing and am still friends with a few of my girls from back in the day. I am a fierce advocate for sex worker rights and safety because of my experience.
5. I studied musical theater in college. 🎭 I originally moved here to pursue that career and got into hair to support that dream. I still audition when I can and I’ll perform in a cabaret or two every now and again!
7. Building and maintaining friendships is one of my highest held values. I truly believe that building a support system for yourself and supporting the people you love is the most fulfilling way to live your life.
8. I’ve been dying my own hair since I was 14, that Féria black box dye was my JAM. I then moved to using 40 volume bleach on myself constantly and am super blessed I never burnt my hair off because I had no idea what I was doing and it honestly should have fallen off.
9. I moved to New York in 2022 from San Diego and after experiencing every pest possible in my first apartment and then getting run over by a bike in my first 8 months, I was dubbed a true New Yorker by all the natives I’d met, so I take that honor very seriously. 😎
10. I’m a Sagittarius sun, Aquarius moon, and Leo rising, I’m a very fiery fire sign and I love air signs! Well, mostly. 😉 taken in Kinetic Studio by @shear.discord

A big and warm welcome to @shear.discord, lived in color specialist!

Madeline Tam-Love $120/hr
Lived In Color Specialist, She/Her
🗓️ Sun/Mon/Wed/Thurs

Madeline’s been her own favorite canvas since middle school — bleaching, dyeing, and rocking every color on the spectrum long before she ever stepped behind a salon chair. Growing up under the California sun in San Diego gave her a love for effortless, beachy texture, but moving to NYC taught her how to pair that with a bold, urban edge. She took her passion professional at the Aveda Institute, where she honed her craft and learned how to turn inspiration into wearable, jaw-dropping color.

Now, she specializes in lived-in color that looks like you were born with it (even if you weren’t), fiery coppers and reds that demand attention, and vivids that make every day feel like a main-character moment. Whether you want hair that whispers or hair that screams, she’s here to create it — with a side of real talk and a playlist that’s always dangerously sing-alongable.

When she’s not behind the chair, you can usually find her curled up on the couch with her cats and the latest binge-worthy TV obsession, at the movies catching a horror flick or superhero blockbuster, or belting her heart out to whatever musical theater score she can’t get out of her head this week. Hair is her art, but her clients? They’re the masterpiece.

Sliding Scale Min: $70/hr

Allow me to introduce myself…
San Diego scene kid turned NYC color addict. Aveda-trained, specializing in lived-in color, fire-reds & coppers, and every vivid under the rainbow (yes, I’ve rocked them all since middle school). When I’m not behind the chair, I’m with my cats, a horror or superhero flick, and my latest musical theater obsession — hair is my art, you’re the masterpiece.

I was going to pick another song but today I had to dedicate this post to Dolly…. 🌹🕊️

Switched it up a bit for @shear.discord. Now we have shorter layers for movement and a fun little flippy moment for our fringe 🤩 a razor cut does wonders for natural waves I couldn’t possibly recommend it enough!
