Master Colorist
Light, shadows and the colors of nature have always inspired Brian Murphy. From the beautiful blondes, crisp wheats and smooth sands of the warm months to the vibrant auburns, lush browns and midnight velvet blacks of the autumn and winter seasons, this artist prides himself on being able to impart to his clients the natural lights and colors they so desire.
Brian comes to mizu with 25 years of experience at the finest salons of New York City. From his early start at Bergdorf Goodman's Salon, to his tenure at Suga and The Spot, through his years at Bumble and bumble, he carries a piece of each of these prestigious salons with him in the perfection of his technique and artistry.
A lifelong New Yorker, Brian is fueled by the energy and diversity of the city. It is this diversity that makes him as comfortable with the guy and girl next door as with him many Oscar and Tony winning clientele.
Brian's chair is always driven by the needs of his clients. Whether it be a shared experience, a lively discussion, or a quiet meditative time, it's all there for the taking. And of course, there's always the laughter. Ever the quick wit, Brian poignantly quips, "There aren't enough hours in the day to beautify the world, but I'm giving it my best shot, one person at a time."
