Rodney Cutler

Rodney Cutler, founder of Cutler Salon, is one of the top New York stylists, known for his innovative techniques and for creating sexy, healthy hair. He has been featured in top national and regional consumer publications and television programs such as Make Me A Supermodel, the Today Show, Rachael Ray and InStyle magazine, among others. In addition to running his successful salons, Rodney Cutler leads a talented, friendly and unpretentious staff of 150, 30 of whom are editorial stylists consistently working on cover shoots and fashion spreads. His celebrity clientele include Rachael Ray, Jamie King, Gavin DeGraw and Jordin Sparks.

Cutler’s hair-styling career began at the young age of 16 when he was appointed to a four-year apprenticeship at Rifmik, one of Australia’s leading hair salons. After much success in Australia, his travels brought him to New York, and eventually lead to his employment at Bumble and Bumble Salon in 1992. At Bumble and Bumble, he rapidly rose to be one of their top stylists and co-developed a program that integrated innovative hair cutting concepts, trained other staff members, and coordinated the teachers for the Assistant Hair Cutting Program.

In 2001, after three years of running a salon with partner Nick Arrojo, Cutler decided it was time to take one step further and open his own salon. In 2001, the first Cutler salon was born. Naturally, this led to another salon opening in 2005, this time in Soho. To go with the downtown, funky vibe, he created the Soho location as a modern clean space with a loft-like, gallery feel, incorporating cut and color on one floor. A unique feature of Cutler salons is the Redken Lab, where colorist and client interact for in-depth discussions about skin tone, color choices and fashion, making each client’s interaction unique.

Continuing to extend his mantra of “Sexy Healthy Hair” to women at home, Cutler offers a full line of products, including shampoos, conditioners, styling products and a travel kit. Rodney continues to grow his business with new endeavors, including a new salon in the Gansevoort South Hotel in Miami, scheduled to open in Summer 2008 along with many more innovative products to come.
