COLORIST

Cherise brings a California sun-soaked sensibility to the heart of Midtown Manhattan, where she transforms hair with an effortless blend of artistry and precision. With a passion for enhancing each client’s natural beauty, Cherise creates luminous, custom color that feels personal, lived-in, and undeniably fresh.

Since beginning her career in 2008 on the beaches of Southern California, Cherise has remained inspired by sun-bleached strands and easy, breezy glamour. After moving to NYC in 2015, she honed her craft at iconic salons including Serge Normant at John Frieda and Marie Robinson Salon, where she built her reputation for delivering bold transformations and seamless highlights.

Known for her fearless approach to color—from bright, platinum statements to softly sunlit balayage—Cherise is equally loved for her warm demeanor and attention to detail. Her work has graced the heads of stars like Diane Kruger, Michelle Gomez, Stella Maxwell, and Ansel Elgort, but her true joy lies in making every client feel like their most radiant self.

You’ll find Cherise at Mark Ryan Salon, dreaming up effortless highlights and signature color on all hair types, one head at a time.
