hey there, friend!
I'm Presley Poe
International Educator & Founder of Poes Painters
My 23 years of experience has fueled my drive to mesh the worlds of cutting and color.
I made it my mission to revolutionize the way we see haircutting. No longer are we building different boxes for hair types but rather blowing the lid off the boundaries that have been put on us! I ask you to open your minds to the possibility that everything is connected and much easier than we ever thought possible.

Have you ever wanted to cut hair with actual gold scissors or is that just me?
I partnered with my friends at IvyAnn Shears to create pure Japanese steel shears with a thick 22K gold coating. A year of using mine and I’m still cutting myself ‘cuz these babies stay sharp!
Interactive Haircutting
There’s a new age in hairdressing. We’re revolutionizing not only how we approach haircutting, but also our understanding of the barriers we’ve been taught and opening our minds to the possibility that everything is connected and much easier than you thought possible.

- The Cutting Wheel makes it simple to break down & recreate inspiration photos

- Transform the knowledge you already have into usable technique behind the chair
- Evolve your chair into a space that is inclusive for all hair fabrics, all bodies, and all people
Finally, we have a universal approach to understanding all hair fabrics! Learn to feel confident working with textures instead of feeling as though you’re always fighting against it.
You can have all the tools to please the seemingly unpleasable “red flag” client and create a long term connection with them, turning them into a client for life you actually enjoy seeing.
The confidence to work with all textures and create any shape is already inside you, just waiting to be unlocked
