Hi, I’m Vijay and thank you for visiting my page. I am a hairstylist and co-owner of Lock&Hue, an independent concept salon in Baltimore, MD. I specialize in precision hair cutting and grooming, with an affinity for beautiful long layered haircuts with abundant face framing. I enjoy creating modern, structured yet effortless hairstyles while providing longevity, functionality and versatility to the needs and lifestyle of each client. As a colorist, my focus is mostly on dimensional brunettes and grey blending.

My education includes attending the prestigious Graham Webb International Academy of Hair and I have been in the beauty industry for 15 years. Always eager to elevate my craft, I continue my education both online and in person to stay up to date with the latest trends in the industry, including Royal Renegades and Matty Conrad. As an aspiring curly hair specialist, I have attended the globally renowned RezoAcademy and received certification for Rezocut level 1. Most recently, I attended Cut It Kinky’s Technically Intuitive course and also their Tight Curl Immersion Workshop, a month long digital and 2 day hands on course on the maintenance and care of tight curls. This November 2024 I will return to Cut It Kinky to attend their new three day color retreat.

When you are in my chair, my goal is for you to leave feeling confident, allowing the very best version of yourself to shine.
